You have found the issue. No way is all the energy being transferred to the ball.
The only question now is how to fix it.

Quoted from gweempose:I spoke with Chas today, and I'll paraphrase what he had to say on the matter. In a nutshell, Borg indicated that they are having a difficult time building crossbow mechs that can consistently hit the left ramp. Given the limitations of the current design, there isn't a lot they can do about it. Some crossbows simply shoot the ball with more velocity than others. Rather than attempt to redesign the crossbow, they have decided that it makes more sense to code around the issue. Lyman is aware of the problem, and he will be addressing it in a future software update.
So basically, the problem is moot. As long as your crossbow can make all the other shots, the left ramp will no longer be an issue once Lyman changes the code. The good news is that we could be seeing a code update on Thursday. Chas had no idea whether or not this new code would contain the crossbow fix, but it should bring some nice enhancements to the gameplay.
Man that's weak.
I just don't understand how they could let these pins be mass produced without doing enough testing to know that there is an issue with the cross bow not being able to finish a ramp shot. So the answer is to simply change the rules so it doesn't matter if you can make the ramp shot with the cross bow? Brilliant.
Yeah, those LE features are really appealing!
