Sooo I’ve ended up grabbing a hobbit and I'm actually enjoying it more than I thought I would! I knew it'd be immersive but I'm actually enjoying it more knowing it's more than just multi ball after multi ball after multi ball... I always thought that the left ramp started a mode and that the ring button was useless and did nothing... now I know some strategies and have a half a clue what to do. Thanks to the papa notes and Carl’s videos. But f me seriously with all those modes and feeder modes and other bs I'm going to have to go to college to know wtf is going on. Keith code is too deep!

Just wondering why the radagast lights are only lit when they’re lit for jackpots or to start an arkenstone mode

But it’s not like the other scoop that’s lit straight away and the loops too. Is more what I’m getting at. I would’ve thought it was lit (purple from memory to denote non collection) at the start of the game to know your progress

Isn’t he dwarf too?

Got to barrel escape and completed into the fire tonight (not sure if I completed into the fire in the game I got to barrel escape). I’m enjoying the game more than when I first played it which is good (and my aim of buying the game actually). I still stand by my initial thinking though. It’s a broad game not a deep game. It’d be great to watch someone play with all the animations going on on the screen. BUT I find it a little bit of pain that I’ve got to trap up read the screen and then start shooting again. There’s just too much information for me. But I’m enjoying it. I don’t think it’ll last too long though. I’m hoping at least until the next code update though...

Oh I forgot to say into the fire is a cool mode to get to. And the start is pretty freaking awesome! Barrel escape doesn’t quite have that cool a feel of getting to as into the fire. Will have to see what it’s like getting to battle of five armies

Had a cracking game tonight completed into the fire AND Barrel escape and I’m pretty sure I got close to completing Battle of five armies too. A good 3.5mil game. Time to move the game on though

Either or. Sell to buy another game. Trade to get another game. Same end really

I don’t think the next code drop will make it an amazing game. It has all the frame work, the bricks are up, windows are in and just the fixtures are left to put in. I think Keith just has polish and tweaks left for the game. Don’t get me wrong the call outs are awesome, the light show for killing Smaug is great and same with the majority of the light show tbh but it’s just missing that something.

I think WOZ just has the it factor with the layout and the code being great. I don’t think I’ll even get to somewhere over the rainbow but I can dream... I have been to Battle of five armies twice in about 20 or so games. Getting to Into the fire is more of a rush for me than Bofa! Just the music and the call outs for me in into the fire are spot on. And when you kill Smaug that’s a pretty cool bit too but I’ve done it and I don’t feel like I need to do it again...

Furthermore to the above I’ve been to BOFA and killed Smaug and the game to me feels like I can do that ALMOST EVERY game! ALMOST! And I think what kind of kills my enjoyment. I don’t want to get to the wizard mode or close to the end of the game every game. LOTR for me is the better if the two worlds because you can play 2/3 of the movie multiballs and maybe get to destroy the ring every other 10 or 20 games and it’s an achievement instead of feeling like it’s a given. That’s the feeling I get. Just me

If anyone in Australia is looking for one of these fine machines pm me

Ah not a bad deal there! Could’ve saved another few grand second hand

Ah just landed from being os
