Just traded MET Prem for TWD Premium and after a week of trying, FINALLY cracked a high score, which was 400MM+.
Had a hell of a game (for me). Horde is just an amazing mode. I really like the coding, where shots to alternating targets can build up score, then a final specific shot can cash in and end modes. Still have a LOT to learn.
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Curious to know which you prefer in a few weeks time. I've got a TWD-LE, the only TWD I could find at the time, and just don't enjoy the theme at all. Had considered a trade offer for MET Prem/LE, even though it may not be as great a coded game, I might just prefer playing it!
Well, personally I am really enjoying TWD Prem. I don't watch TWD or read the comic. I'm not a "gory movie" fan either, so the theme doesn't appeal to me at all. But the really clever layout and amazing code has me hooked. I played a pro for an hour on location back in January and I put it on my wishlist.
I loved MET Premium too. I bought it NIB and thought it'd never leave. I even had the signed Dirty Donny print hanging next to it. The layout is fun and fast. Like anything, it just got stale over time. With MET you really have to get through a lot of bashing to even progress to a mode. For me, it got a little tiresome of starting multi balls to collect a ton of cross, snake, hammer and Sparky hits to light CIU.
Don't get me wrong, completing a CIU mode, then lighting Double Scoring, then cashing in your CIU is a hell of a rush. Also Seek & Destroy is awesome too. The problem is you just don't have enough games where you experience CIU at all.
When you play a long game on MET, say you make it through a couple of CIU modes, it's hard to push restart. You know it'll take forever to get back there. Tron fills this wood for me.
Quoted from gentrsa:So my DMD went blank all of a sudden and I can not figure out what fuse if any I should check might be blown. I do not have another DMD to test with. Any suggestions would be great as this is driving me crazytrying to figure this out. Everything works as it it should oitherwise just a blank DMD screen.
First thing is reseat everything related. Is it a color DMD? Power cable issue? Shaker could theorically could shake it loose.
So could banging the glass repeatedly when it kicks your ass (not that I've ever done that though....)
Quoted from Pinzap:Yeah, funny thing is I had already tried that many times because of my impatience. Learned that with my LOTR that if you want to time out a magnet capture, just hit both flipper buttons. You are right that it doesn't "fling" it STDM with as much speed, but it definitely drops it STDM. I'll try that a bit more, because at least it gives me a chance to do more of a slap save that way (not that I enjoy doing that every time for a feature that shouldn't need it). The rotation of the prison magnet by 90deg has piqued my curiosity, so I might have to try that.
As for the outlanes, I've owned pins for close to 15 years (only on pinside for 1 yr) and know how to nudge most balls out, but none of my usual techniques seem to work on this game. Oh well, I'm always up for learning new techniques.
You definitely want to try to get the first 2 prison hits within the ball save time starting a game. If it goes SDTM you're still good.
Quoted from chuckwurt:The wizard mode is last man standing. Need to kill 115 zombies on standard settings.
Siege is a mini wizard that you need to complete 12 jackpots in prision multiball to start.
Terminus is another mini wizard that starts after playing all the dead features (riot, barn, CDC, tunnel, and arena)
Thanks for this rundown.
I've been playing my Premium for a little over a month, and have made it to Horde 5 times. Haven't reached Siege or Terminus and certainly not LMS. I haven't fully understood the rules yet though, so gracias.
Tough pin but it's just interesting every time.
Quoted from Rondogg:Why are Walkers "not welcome" in this thread? They aren't as bad as the show makes them out to be. Just seems a little short sighted no?
I was told they tend to hang out in bicycle forums.
Quoted from Phbooms:When i posted that link i thought there was only optos in trough.
First thing id do is take all the balls out and turn game on and add each ball one at a time and see if the game reconizes each ball. If it doesnt reconize one of the balls then one of your rollover switches either needs adjusted or a wire came loose probably.
there is a opto for the ball getting ready to be kicked up by vuk. has 2 plugs one on each side of trough id start there for resetting plugs.
Like 95% of trough issues are simply reseating connectors.
Quoted from JohnDelNJ:Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll definitely be going with a shaker. The sound roms could be a nice addition also. I'm in the process of reading this entire thread so that should help pass the time till the pin actually gets here.
Sound Roms are AMAZING. I got mine in a trade (only played it twice) and didn't realize I had them. Finally got the hint when I tried to turn "adult language" off and realized you can't.
Quoted from Edenecho:What, is there adult language in twd? I have a premium, cant remember any swearing?
I don't really know, but there is a setting.
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Hi Kris, there are a few animations that are pretty gory - like the face being gouged with a knife and some other stuff, but it's done in a comic style. Not sure i'd be happy with small kids (under 10's?) playing it though. Especially with the ColorDMD (which is a must have) - this makes it easier to see what's really going on!
As for the Adult content switch, i'm almost certain this just disables the stronger language, just like in Met.
I have a color DMD LCD set to Hi Res so everything is smoother and more comic like, just for that reason.
That MJ mod is cool! Does someone sell it?
Quoted from luvthatapex2:Fish Tank Animations.
I saw an additional animation today on the fishtank. I completed it like 20 times today and usually you get like 250-500k for a completion, but this one time I got 00, then the middle zombie head made an O shaped mouth, then another animation showed a 600k or 550k completion for the 3 heads. It was very cool!!!
Did I hallucinate this, or did anyone else see this easter egg?
I never saw that but I complete the fish tank maybe twice a game.
Quoted from MikeS:Alright, I'm an idiot! The past 4-5 months I've been really struggling with having good games and have only made Horde a couple times. Just realized that I've had my extra balls turned off since hosting league night back in June. -Doh!
5 walker kills + Woodbury shot = extra ball = necessary!
Quoted from WombatPinball:Finally joined the 1 billion club yesterday!!!!! Had horde and terminus. Put up 80mil in Horde and 117 in Terminus. Ended 5 walker kills shy of last man standing with 110. Was an intense game until the very end!!!
Holy crap what a game!
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:IMO the biggest difference in gameplay comes from the bombs. They are not available on the pro.
Walker bombs are the bomb.
IMO anyone on the fence should get the premium. The ramp with the flap fix is perfect. The light show is amazing. Horde is one of the coolest pinball modes.
Quoted from bmegar:Where can you get the ramp flap?

Quoted from Black_Knight:I swear every major update has come while I’m out of town.
Are you from Woodbury?
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Put this up last night at a friend’s house.
[quoted image]
Sweet baby Jeezus!
Quoted from Damien:Weird thing happened last night. I moved my machine just a few inches to line it up with the rest of my games, and took off the glass to level it.
Played one he, and noticed all my scores had been reset except for the GC!?!?
Anyone know what might have caused this?
All I can think of is you accidentally turned the other high scores off in the settings menu. Did you try to adjust anything?
Quoted from gliebig:If only I could keep the ball in play long enough to take advantage of that...
It's still a tough pin, but get these. You'll be very thankful you did.
Quoted from gliebig:Have them. lol.
They've definitely helped a bit. Maybe I need to put bigger rubber on them. hahaha.
LOL. From what I remember, the left outline is a bitch!
Quoted from iloveplywood:Horde mode is also a popular video game mode, usually a mini-game, where you face an unlimited amount of enemies coming after you wave after wave. I'm guessing that might have influenced the name too. Thank god -- who wants Herd mode.
herd (resized).jpgQuoted from Damien:I really have to disagree with this. I have 3 digital levels and OCD! Haha
You're not going to find many game more perfectly level than mine. I also believe in playing all games at 6.5 exactly as intended by their design.
You play steeper, you reduce the side drain, and I prefer not to do that.
Also, the fact that I've played all 4 machines, and saw the same issues, would mean every game is set up wrong. Impossible.
And the last one I played was a premium set up stupidly steep. Game was much easier to control than my game, but the SDTM issues still occurred.
FWIW, it's a lot easier to have 4 machines set up incorrectly that 4 machines set up correctly.
Quoted from Brady2Gronk:Christmas break has been kind to me on TWD. I FINALLY made it to Last Man Standing. I was damn excited but then almost immediately choked. Didn't even score enough to beat the factory score for it. I was still jazzed. I cannot imagine being able to finish it but it's something to shoot for.
Wow. When I had it, I never made it close. I'm really tempted to get another because it's such a good tough pin. I miss it. Congrats!
Finally back in the club after 2 years. Sold a Premium and missed it, then traded for this one. Not even sure if these are all the mods:
ColorDMD
Moss green powdercoat
Custom painted well-walker
Custom translite
Stern blades
Shaker
laser crossbow
LED backbox
topper
lighted barn
speaker lights
undercab lighting
Such a great, punishing game.

Your machine is pure porn!
Thanks! Yeah I never thought I'd get another Premium as nice as the one I sold, but this one is it. Love the powder coating and the translite, especially.
Quoted from pipes:So, you killed 2 walkers with 4 balls..? That is seriously impressive.
