Thank you for this guide! Just got AC/DC and trying to wrap my head around some of this stuff.- Roo

when will we see cabinet options?
Yup; it's usually good to pay attention to your most passionate fans. They are the ones who will help the game grow through word of mouth. I, for one, would even be willing to pay extra for good cabinet support. There are always those who will complain about price/value, but I'd have to think...- Roo

Request Challenge System (my thoughts)
Yeah, don't hit both flipper buttons to skip the bonus totals on RBION; it will end your game prematurely! It happens outside of challenge mode as well. -
Request Texture question
Yeah, I've been complaining about this one since the beta. AFM and Whirlwind are very obvious with fuzzy/jagged lines around the flippers. But I've noticed and commented on how the playfields looked much better starting in season 3! Old beta thread... -
Pinball Arcade too easy and unchallenging
I think their physics are actually quite good, but their tables are designed differently. They have weaker slingshots, smaller flipper gap, higher flipper angle when engaged, and "older" / deader rubbers (I've seen them talk about this one specifically). I think the idea is to make it easier... -
when will we see cabinet options?
Actually, they had it working on their cab (on STTNG, anyway) during the Chicago Pinball Expo back in October... ;) Although I'm guessing their aim is to release all the cabinet features at once.- Roo

Request Challenge System (my thoughts)
Just tried this the other night and it was not a great experience. My issues: 1. As others said, high scores and goals achieved don't count. Why on earth not? Is there some way to "cheat" I'm not thinking of? This alone is enough to turn me off. Definitely had my best game ever on RBION... -
Friend Leaderboards
Just checked in on this the other day (it's been a while). At first I was excited because I scrolled through several tables and it seemed to be working properly for the first time. Then most of them started to say "no entries". Then the entire application crashed. -
Request Screen Rotation Within Game
This would be nice. I could see people with rotatable monitors using them in landscape most of the time, then rotating them when playing pinball. It would be nice not to have to switch the setting in Windows before and after every time. In my case, this would help on my pincab because... -
So...How much FS?
Are you implying that you won the lottery and you are going to help us all out? ;)- Roo

Device of Choice or Console of choice
As I said in the other thread, PC all the way. Portrait mode + easy updates. One point that hasn't been made is that the phone version makes a great portable table guide because you can access all the instructions even when just in demo mode. I can study rules while I'm at lunch then go home...- Roo

Any Chance Of The 'Enivronment' Textures/Assets Getting Upgraded???
As a portrait/cab player, I don't usually see this. I guess it shows up in the fly-bys it does before you push start, but I'd prefer that to be gone for full cabinet mode anyway to maintain the illusion that my cab is the real one. So personally I don't care and would put other items as a...- Roo

TPA Topics #2: How Much Can/Should FarSight Make TPA Into A Franchise?
Yeah I think I heard that something like 70% of Stern's sales in the U.S. are home-use collectors, not operators. And someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Farsight may actually have the license to every Stern table. The problems cited in the past, though, are: A) They can't afford...- Roo

timeframe on dx11
Yeah, this was announced, what, 6 months ago now (before PS4 launch)? I think that's why people are getting antsy. We like the product or we wouldn't be here, but who wouldn't want it to be even better? Particularly after seeing it teased. -
Midwest Gaming Classic (lots of Pinball)
Public service announcement: The Midwest Gaming Classic will be taking place April 12 and 13 in Brookfield, WI. It covers all aspects of gaming (arcade games, console games, tabletop), but there is a large pinball contingent as well. I would guess last year they had over 100 pinball machines...- Roo

Pinball misconceptions that get on your nerves
Yes. Many people seem to think it's entirely luck-based. Goes along with not realizing the depth of the game (particularly modern tables). Thus they think I'm weird for being so obsessed with such a "simple" thing. In their mind it's probably like playing slot machine with no money on the...- Roo

Is there an commonly accepted name for this maneuver?
One time at an expo the guy playing next to me had the ball come to rest balanced on top of the little peg between the inlane and outlane. It wasn't stuck or wedged or anything, it was just perfectly balanced. I bet you could take the glass off and try to balance the ball there with your hand...- Roo

Pls make "Camera Reset" option
In portrait mode, you should be able to see the plunger normally; no need for the camera to zoom in on it. My main point was that they shouldn't add a new button to work around the bug where the camera gets stuck. They should just fix that bug so it doesn't get stuck. I realize sometimes... -
So TPA is coming to Xbox One in June (hopefully)
Should probably change the title of the thread to avoid getting people excited for no reason. "Aiming for June" is not really "the next few weeks". -
Pls make "Camera Reset" option
I'm not sure adding features to work around bugs is a good idea, although I understand your frustration. Getting locked to the plunger cam seems to happen way too often. If that bug is too tricky to fix for some reason, how about an option to disable plunger cameras completely? That would be...
