The pro will not keep up to the GI possibilities moving forward either. Saw Horde mode on the LE last night - phenomenal atmosphere.

Also the walker/prison bombs greatly change how I approached MB's. They can be used like VIP passes to save a drained ball right before MB start. Very powerful if used properly.

Note: discussing LE/Prem here...

While I can appreciate the creativity and skill required to play a ruleset like ACDC, the atmosphere of Horde is far beyond anything I've seen outside of Metallica, and might even top it. Rules and scoring wise it's not overly complicated or difficult to grasp, but to me calling it boring based purely on scoring is simply not a good thought process for such a well implemented experience, no matter how 'simple' the scoring is laid out. Video games like 'Metroid Prime', 'Journey', or 'Portal' are great examples of what I'm talking about... they aren't games that are "AC/DC" complicated in terms of gameplay or competitiveness, but they are fantastic experiences that can be enjoyed again and again due to their atmosphere and creative structure.

IMO an actual experience of playing counts for something even after the "I won!"gameplay is mastered because the atmosphere and theme is just that compelling - that's what Horde (and hopefully TWD overall) has going for it.

Just my 2 cents... and I'm usually wrong, but stick to talking to myself to remain right

I believe after the first Blood Bath MB, you have to collect all 3 drop awards twice to light it again.

It's pretty easy to accidentally do it. The only real trick is to try and stop the flashing light on an UNLIT item so that when you 'accidentally' clear the drop bank, you aren't collecting the same rewards over and over.

I had this happen on a friends machine on the new code. I felt/feel like it had something to do with skipping the intro to the prison mode by double flipping quickly to fast forward everything. It seemed like maybe the game was skipping or reversing the prison door opening sequence? Happened to me ~2 times in about 40 games? No confirmation 100% on the cause, but it did happen. I played on as normal, but prison shots did nothing and I never got the doors open until I drained and moved to the next ball. It sounds like holding flippers and/or scrolling in instant info or something might be a temporary fix though? Can't confirm.

We also ran across a bug of some sort in a multiplayer game where the drop target 'supply' light wouldn't roam properly at the start of a new ball for the next player. Seemed to have something to do with a 'locked' but partially completed supply drop target on one player, then the light was stuck to that supply for the next player. We didn't come up with a complete picture of the issue as it seemed very inconsistent and could have involved any number of supply/walker bomb/bloodbath/drop target issues, but there was definitely some sort of hiccup in the code around those targets specifically in multiplayer games. We thought maybe a target opto was flakey but couldn't see any issue in test mode. Something for folks to keep an eye on to maybe flesh it out a bit more. Note we never were able to reproduce it once in single player AFAIK.

Disagree, but I do think there should be a reward for arrows shot vs. prison shot. Each arrow should add somewhat substantial points to the prison jackpots as well as advance 'prison', whereas the prison walker would simply advance prison with no substantial rewards. That way the MB is still reasonable to obtain for a novice player, but can be much more lucrative for an expert.

For all I know it might already be like this frankly...

Not saying this isn't a fix, but this problem never happened in the original code to my recollection so I'm very curious how a mechanical change is the solution? I don't understand the mechanism at all but I am thinking somehow this mechanical fix is a Band-Aid for a code problem... kinda like the old 'solder resistors onto coils' fix for slings that hit too hard.
