Ron...

Great episode and interview Ron (and Bruce, Soren, and Zach).

TAF doesn't have an autolaunch mech, only the plunger. It would not behave in line with other ball save games. I would say it needs to stay the way it is.

#458 3 years ago
Quoted from mbeardsley:

It depends upon what you mean by "ball save". Do you mean "plunged the ball and it drained in the first few seconds, so give it back" or do you mean "just started multi-ball and some of the balls drained right away, so keep giving me more"?
If you mean the first one, then yes, you can have ball save without an autoplunger. If you mean the second one, then no, you need an autoplunger.

I see the difference as you describe, but most WMS games of the 90's era with a ball save do auto-launch the ball back into play when saved. I am not a big fan of putting it back into the shooter lane and leaving it sit on a "save". That is what would have to happen for the TAF suggestion to be implemented. I don't think that is a good solution. I understand why some folks would want it, but the implementation available through software only doesn't work in my opinion.

Would you agree that scoring zero is the outlier scenario vs hitting some switch and scoring something?

#468 3 years ago
Quoted from The_Pump_House:

I'll reiterate
I don't want it for myself personally but I'm trying to rope in casual gamers, many of which have never played pinball. I don't want them kicked in the teeth by TaF and get discouraged.
My TZ has ball save, that's a lawlor machine no?

Try a factory reset your tz and see if there is still a ball save. Pretty sure it wasn't turned on by default, but I am not 100 percent and no longer have the game.
