Quoted from luvthatapex2:Why? The software is 2 weeks old. How complete do you expect it to be? It says a great deal that people think its fun with the first version of the software... I would imagine many updates to come...
Yeah, you missed my point entirely. Yes, the software will be updated, and yes it's incomplete at this point but the Final Wizard Mode is already in the game, and it's a terribly bland and recycled wizard mode. I'd be worried less if it wasn't there at all!
How often does Stern completely remove a wizard mode and replace it with something else entirely? I'd love to share your optimisim, but unfortunately I've had first hand experience with Stern LE code/rule problems and the lack of quality updates. This isn't a Lyman game, so my optimism shrinks even more.
I sincerely hope they do rip that wizard mode out and replace it with something creative and new. I don't have a ST on order, but I do have friends ordering one, and I already know the layout is nice, so if the software is really inventive and genius then I might like to have one some day.
And yes, PLEASE stop with the LCD rumors, prayers and hope. It's just silly. Stern does not have the staff or capabilities at this point to even begin to create color video content for a color LCD screen. I doubt you'll see a Stern LCD a year from now even. Until they see the LE orders on DMD's slack off, I don't see Stern moving to LCD...
