It's cool that FarSight does this. I'll be checking back in on day 10-when the important stuff usually starts to surface.

 

[Captain B. Zarre]

So basically...

Day 1: NOTHING (tournaments always happen at this time)
Day 2: NOTHING (the game was announced to release this date beforehand)

I'm sure the announcements will get better but they haven't been looking too good so far.

A long long time ago...

plus 1,

I'd prefer if they just gave wacky hints or altered photos of upcoming tables. All the other stuff doesn't really interest me. But I like that they still do it.

Well said, kolchak

I am enjoying it, not having any big expectations and taking it for what it is.

It isn't 12 days of awesome gifts and news. It's just a fun little extra thing they do and I think it's cute

With that said, here is what I would like to see (if I was greedy, that is )

Warning: The wishes go more insane the closer we get to Christmas

Day 3: We have prolonged our agrement with WMS for another 3 years
Day 4: There will be no premiers next year
Day 5: We will see Capcom tables in tpa next year
Day 5: STPA release on Steam and mobile (this is probably the only one of my wishes that we might see)
Day 6: STPA is now out on consoles in the rest of the world
Day 7: Bug day. We have gone back and fixed 12 of the most crucial bugs on tpa. 12 bugs less before Christmas
Day 8: Santa's little helpers have been busy getting the Emulation of the early 80' WMS working in tpa
Day 9: We have now given you a spin for your money. Ball spin and a more heavy ball is now in the app
Day 10: The next STPA pack after Ghostbusters will include: GOT, Metallica and Batman 66
Day 11: We have expanded all wizard goals on all tables to include 10 tasks instead of 5. We have also made a whole new set of quick challenges for all tables
that require you to get to a certain goal in a set time frame or on a single ball. 5 for each table, with a gold, silver, bronze award system. Can you tour the
mansion in 10 min, ball one on Addams?
Day 12: Regenerated Dr Who are in, but that is not the news. Because this was such a fun thing to do for us, we have made a deal with Stern and Paramount to
make 6 Star Trek Re-gen tables. One for every series and one for all the old movies

All I want for Christmas is...

 

[Kolchak357]

When karl dreams he dreams big! Amen bother! I'd be happy with even a couple of those.

 

[The loafer]

Damn it Karl those are decent great Christmas wishes. May at least half come true!

 

[Tripredacus]

Day 5: STPA release on Steam and mobile (this is probably the only one of my wishes that we might see)

I thought I heard a day or two ago it was expected for release this month.

 

[Naildriver74]

its time i told ya santa aint real kiddo, have ya got a gf yet?

I just saw Santa at the store and he said he was giving you a titty twister

Update with Day 3 on the first post!

In other news:

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

So... those custom balls - are they automatically added for Pro Season Pass owners (like previous ball packs were) or do they need to be purchased?

Actually, the season 2 balls needed to be purchased separately (on PS4 at least)

Anyway, in case anyone is having trouble figuring out which ball is which, (from top left to right):

Row 1: Black Knight 2000, Black Rose, Cyclone, Diner, Bram Stoker's Dracula
Row 2: Earthshaker, Fish Tales, High Roller Casino, High Speed, Jackbot
Row 3: Junkyard, Lights Camera Action!, Party Zone, Phantom of the Opera, Roadshow
Row 4: Safecracker, Starship Troopers, WHO Dunnit?, Xenon, Addams Family

They are all in alphabetical order (except for Addams Family). Weird.

 

[rehtroboi40]

Ahh, the one Gary Stern said was coming to TPA what seems like eons ago. Hopefully we'll see it in STPA-lots of fun, and one of the last IRL tables I got to play in good condition.

At least somebody's been good this year!

Yes, they will be automatically added If you purchased the Pro Season 3 or 4 pass, they will be unlocked. They are included in the Pro Season Pass entitlement.
