And this magnet pulse flipper feature has been known to the community for months now.

Yes, though before that, he spent more than a few months posting his TWD pin experience here, including playing the game, slamming it, called it the walking dud, belittling LE owners who reported no pop drains, putting up a bogus LE review, etc. I'd have thought the noted positive game play feedback tip wrt this would be easily known if reasonably following the pin, especially so since it also was put up in response to previous specific posts and complaints of prison magnet STDMs.

I guess I'm a little frustrated with some of the rehash. lol. I'm hoping RobT's (and other's) view of the pin continues to improve. But if not, to each their own.

RE: above

LOL. I'm not surprised at your comments.

FWIW, I specifically explained the prison magnet STDM pulsing fix two months ago in a post that literally referenced you in it before that description. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/twd-frustration-thread#post-2267294 That thread is also rife with your downvotes of my previous posts including TWD STDMs associated with levelling considerations which have now been generally acknowledged and accepted by the community.

RobT did eventually play enough TWD pins to improve his impressions on it, to find and acknowledge the LE/Prem doesn't have a big pop drain issue (I'll leave Pro discussion to others), and to acknowledge and address the LE review. Anyway, I'd rather not rehash and think it is best to move the thread on. Hopefully RobT and you can be more happy with the TWD play with the pulse tip.

LOL. No I don't, but you seem to. Here's one of many posts describing it from you in this case from over five months ago.

Yes, I was aware and already acknowledged that from you in my earlier post. Setting it straight was nice to see.

I agree with Ven. It does that too on my LE. The pulsing prevents a straight soft release down the middle, but there is also the randomness of the pulse, and it is part of the randomness of pinball overall. An STDM can still happen this way, but much more rarely than laying off the flippers and just letting the magnet do a soft release.

It was the first post of much feedback you gave and continued to give on that thread for TWD play. Easy to find and read. And you posted similar feedback over the months on other threads as well (e.g., TWD frustration thread).

Nice deflection with a side attack. If you don't get the point, there is no need to for me to belabour it. I was all for moving on as noted in my previous posts.

I unfortunately haven't had a chance to try it yet; I was planning on updating it shortly. I'm definitely interested in hearing people's experience with the new code as they get more time on it and it's why I'm on the thread.

Personally, I'd expect the horde option to be hard for me to get to, so some of these updates I won't get much experience on for a while and I wonder how much of a difference I'll find.

I haven't seen much detailed direct talk or comparisons yet on the update. v1.19 was definitely a big upgrade imo.

It's a reasonable time to consider a purchase; I wonder if anyone knows how long Stern will be licensed to sell the TWD pins. Or if you want to buy used, then timing doesn't matter as much. There will be another code update or two, but the machine is getting positive feedback with the latest update from more people. As for which model, there won't be a general consensus and opinions will be all over the place on such a personal evaluation.

I find the le/prem walker bombs intriguing in the new coding, which isn't available on the pro (discussed earlier in this thread in the new code feedback posts).
