Quoted from Russell:

However...the playfield is laughably empty. The ball floats around the playfield like I'm playing an 80s Bally or something. I wonder if they did this intentionally as a response to the difficult maintenance of WOZ. If the ball is really slow and there's nothing to hit, nothing can break, right?

The Hobbit on route near me has had more problems thanks to those pop-up targets than my WOZ on route has ever had.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

The playfield is laughably empty? Did the 4 pop targets not work on the game you played? How about the 11 independently controled drop targets? What about the player controlled kick back? What about Smaug and all of the new callouts he says in version 1.10? What about the mini LCD?
Sorry but you have missed and glanced over a ton of what The Hobbit offers.

What do the beasts even do at this point besides the hurry-ups and getting the multiball with all 4? The one I play on route always has one of the beasts not functioning (and the operator there works very hard to keep his games in shape), and without all 4 functioning it's impossible to get the multiball, so hitting them just feels useless.

I don't doubt what it will be after Keefer's done with it, I've never been disappointed by his work. In my head I'm having a hard time picturing it being that good, but I know he'll find a way to get it there.
