Quoted from snaroff:Kind of surprised to hear this. My Rush LE build has been solid...the only stuck balls I get are on the moving ramp (and a ball search takes care of that). Since the Pro's typically have less mechs they are usually more solid than the Premium's/LE's. As far as geometry goes, my Rush rocks...one of the best shooting games ever (and I have a Borg heavy lineup). MUCH kinder and gentler than TRON...
Yeah I always regret whinging about things. Apologies to the community. The Pro I picked up has been a pain in the ass, though. It's a mess.
What triggered that last post was I spent the whole work day working on the scoop mech because it's wedged into the pop bumper ring. I thought I had that sorted weeks ago but it got stuck again so I had to take it apart for the second time. I was irritated. Pretty sure the ball is bending the scoop or possibly moving the whole assembly over time. I dunno.
Glad yours was assembled with care. I've had to tweak almost everything and I'm still dialing stuff in. I got most of the shots from the lower flippers working (backhanding the spinner is still not right but at least I got it as a low % doable shot.. sort of)
My game still has major issues with the upper flipper shots. The ramp shot is a mess. It's just bashing the ramp wall and bouncing back like 19 of 20 attempts. Tried adjusting the flipper angle a few times. No luck. Went through all the flipper power settings. No luck. I'm admittedly stumped what's wrong there. The geometry is off somewhere. The loop is a mess too. I played a premium the other day and was looping to 3 million pretty consistently. Im Lucky to hit that one time in 3 balls on my pro and when you do it exits all bouncy preventing consecutive loops. (Have a part in the mail I'm hoping will fix that)
I'm getting stuck balls in the loop a ton and sometimes the ball falls out the TM into the orbit and gets stuck. Frequent enough that for now I can't send it out. Its cool, though. I have room for it here and I still like flipping it despite the fact I make up new swear words every game I play.
So.. yeah. Sorry for whinging but sometimes you just have to vent, ya know. Fucking stern quality sucks ass. I'm not pulling that punch anymore.
