Stern, 2014Quoted from Soulrider911:So we got a walking dead pro st work, and I have been so much fun playing it. Only issue is I have no strategy best I can get is like 34k. Would love some strategy advice, have watched Bowen’s video as well cheers
Also make sure the new code is install on game 1.60
Weirdest thing
Out of the blue,zero tech alerts,etc
Well walker multiball is now spitting out 3 or 4 balls
Wtf
Quoted from Damien:So after hitting Horde on the first day, this game has been completely humiliating me!
My average ball times is 1:10, and I just can't get anything going. I hate that you get a mode started and the game screws you with a stupid drain from the prison magnet or from dropping out of the tunnel.
Not sure about this game!
When the prison magnet catches the ball and you see the animation where the guy is getting hit in the head with a crowbar, start flipping your flippers when he gets hit the second time and usually the magnet will throw the ball to the left or right. As far as the ball coming out of the pops and draining sdtm, you have to nudge when the ball is at the end of the tunnel ramp. Try these two things and report back.

The best tip I ever got is let the ball dead bounce coming out of the pops. Usually it will bounce off the left flipper for an easy catch on the right flipper. Then you take a shot at the drop targets if your ball saver is on, work towards prison or well walker multi-ball if your ball saver is off.
Pay attention to your drop target bank, work towards Blood Bath multi-ball. You can start it in as few as four completions. If not paying attention it may take ten if you're unlucky.
Most of your points are in the modes. Do well in them and you'll start your multi-kills and make progress towards Horde. There are other ways to start multi-kills too.
Save your X multiplier shot(s) for a time when you have something valuable to shoot at.
Quoted from Damien:How do you start Siege?
Kill twelve Yard walkers during Prison multi-ball. There is a counter shown on the DMD as of v1.60 that shows the number remaining. Hit the prison again when the counter gets to zero.
There is some confusion on that point because the rules doc said it was twelve prison jackpots needed. I've been watching the DMD with the new code and it doesn't decrement on a jackpot, only on a "yard walker" kill. If someone wants to do some glass off testing and update the rules wiki (linked from the key posts at the top of the page) that would be most appreciated.

Not sure about this game!
When the prison magnet has the ball hit both flippers to release it... when you see it fall maybe a half inch down hit both flippers again to pulse the magnet... this will yank it back a bit and hopefully off to one side or the other. Sometimes you'll even get a free hit at the head as it flings it upward.
Mine's pretty finicky so I have to time it just right. Other machines I've played allow you to simply hit both flippers repeatedly (after the first hit to disengage the ball) to fling the ball around. With mine I get one chance but it usually works - think of it as another skill set for the game 
Tunnel shouldn't be an issue so trying raising or lowering a single leg in the front until you find the sweet spot. Mine very rarely puts it down the middle. And I do very little shoving and shaking.
Quoted from bridgeman:When the ball is in prison magnet I use a “shimmy” of the game. Not a nudge but a slight shimmy back and forth within the tilt. On my Premium many times the magnet will
Sling ball to side rather than drop straight down the middle when I shimmy. My daughter came up with this.
As for Tunnel you have to really watch the ball when in the pops and learn a feel how it will exit. Once you spend some time on it you will get a good idea where the SDTM exit is and can nudge it.
Or you can sell the game.
you have to play it like your battling zombies for your life!

lol... i know i was missing something... but for sure, now i'm a better player
Played a few more games today on the pro we have at work. Man, I'm not sure if all Walking Deads get this many center drains, but it more than I have gotten on any other game to the point I dont even want to play it. Consistently coming out of the pop bumpers I'd estimate about 85% go down the center.
Officially a member of club dead. Brought my Walking Dead premium home this week. What an intense game. The theme fits this pin perfectly.
My machine came loaded with Cleland. It sounds good and reading up in the forums it seems to be what people prefer but I want to give the stock sound a listen to and decide for myself. How would I go about doing that? Do I need to do a factory reset? If I do, will I need to reload v1.6 again? I imagine I would.
thanks

You need to download the latest code from sterns website and update it using those files.

Thanks for posting, that is a fantastic strategy. Easy to talk about, very hard to do.
Quoted from mannymasy:Which of the two do you prefer?
I’d choose the top one, but I prefer factory lighting on the Premium.
Quoted from mannymasy:Which of the two do you prefer?
Definitely the top one. Lose the green and you're all set 
Quoted from mannymasy:Which of the two do you prefer?
Top with a dash of green. On well walker
Quoted from mannymasy:so that such?
Lose the green and blue mid playfield. Light some GI red upper two thirds and drains plastics. GI warm or sunlight mid playfield, slings, and some back GI. For a little color separation add blues to back panel. Throw a couple red comet matrix strips in the drain and behind the ramps and you’re all set.

Put a matchbook under one of the front legs 
Heck can you even find a matchbook these days?
Quoted from ZMeny:Pierde el campo de juego medio verde y azul. Encienda algunos GI rojos en los dos tercios superiores y drene los plásticos. GI cálido o la luz del sol en el campo de juego, eslingas y algunos GI de vuelta . Para una pequeña separación de color, agregue blues al panel posterior. Lanza un par de tiras de matrices de cometas rojas en el desagüe y detrás de las rampas y todo listo.
eliminate green and blue?
Quoted from mannymasy:Thanksssssss, 3 lights Up prisión?
Put all the backboard lights in Blue then swap with whites as needed.
NeilMcRae whoah thanks for that tutorial! I've only had the game a few weeks and barely cracked 400k. Tried your approach on a single game and would have cracked a billion if I didn't choke on the last two balls
Also... mannymasy the previous owner of mine added a blue strip behind the ramps, the bulbs in the backboard lights are all red.... so there it is if you're wondering what it looks like.
Quoted from mannymasy:Thankssss!!!!!
Your game looks so much better now than before, nice job!!
Quoted from Who-Dey:¡Tu juego se ve mucho mejor ahora que antes, buen trabajo!
thanks !!!!!
I had lights behind the ramps but I can not get them to light up well and I eliminated it ...
It's fine with everything in red the truth. Thanks for the ideas
Quoted from mannymasy:do you know if each of the multikill lights a particular weapon insert? ... for example to light the insert of the gun that multikill must be made?
Each weapon isn’t linked to a specific multikill. There are more multikills than weapons, so it can’t work like that.
Quoted from Who-Dey:Put the glass back on
Haha. I may need the glass off if I ever want to reach LMS, but for that score, I did it fair and square.
People have posted much higher scores on this game, but for me and my skill (or lack thereof) I'm content with it! Not sure I'm ever going to beat it though haha!

I am surprised after getting a score like that you would say you lack skill. That makes me feel like I am a complete piece of shit player. Lets get one thing straight, if you are putting up a score like that you are plenty skilled no need to rub our noses in it.

LTG has a twd and ill be dammed if it isnt the best playing twd out there. Makes me feel like a good player. All the tight shots are as smooth as butter

If you were here to witness the amount of ass whipping this game has put on me, you'd realize that score was probably a gift from the Pinball God's, and won't be seen again!
I only say lack of skill because I'm very inconsistent. I do occasionally have a game where I'm locked in, but as a general rule, I'm throwing up middle fingers and yelling out stuff I prefer not to write here haha.
