The president and the only member of TWD 8 club? Thanks again for another jaw dropping video!

[ScoutPilgrim]

Updated some stuff about more recent patch notes (Arena update) and the Premium/LE. Button really adds some cool interactions to the game, especially around using your acquired items as ball saves to start multiballs.

I’m looking for some info on mode light/start while in multiball here that I’m confused by, if anyone can help.

From what I can tell from looking at @sk8ball 's double roll video(says competition mode in the video title), and looking at the 2016 INDISC videos(assuming in competition but not sure), while in multiball you can both light and start a new mode.

However, on my TWD premium at home, factory setting for this is to be able to both light and start a mode, but when I set competition rules, it changes to only be able to start a mode that’s already lit in multiball, but not to be able to light a mode during multiball.

I think this is feature adjustment #34, “shot modes light/start w/ m.b.”, where “light+start” is the factory setting, and “start” is the setting I get after doing competition presets.

Anyone know where the disconnect is between what I see on my machine with competition settings, and elsewhere? Thanks. This rule in particular seems to really change the way you play, and has some really unfortunate side effects like when you light modes and light blood bath at the same time, then drain: on your next ball it’s impossible to start a mode before playing that blood bath with the rule set only to “start”.

The difference is using the “Install Competition” from the utilities menu. That not only puts competition mode on, but makes the other changes to the adjustments including not allowing modes to start in multiball, etc.

Just changing the competition mode adjustment to YES doesn’t make those feature adjustments that Lyman auto-changes in the utility settings … So Keith’s game is totally VOID (j/k).

BRB, need to shit-post in the youtube comments section.

(Seriously, thanks for clearing that up)

[sk8ball]

Yes I made some modifications. I turned off the first level extra ball so to balance it out I allowed mode starts during multiball because I was very rarely making Terminus (which generally isn’t worth that much considering how hard it is to achieve in “competition setting”) Also Horde starting difficulty is set to 5 seconds instead of 7 which gives you less time to dick around collecting bombs.

CrossbowCrossbow is lit at the right ramp after the weapons supply insert is collected. The five mode shots are lit for 1M+. Certain switches will disqualify crossbow if a shot is missed. If you are shooting the Tunnel crossbow shot and accidentally hit the well walker the crossbow mode ends. If you are shooting the Riot crossbow shot and hit a stab stand up, the mode ends. During a multiball, no other target hits will disable the Crossbow. Multiple crossbow “attempts” can be stacked at once. If you have collected the weapons supply insert multiple times and shoot the right ramp to light crossbow then shoot the right ramp to collect crossbow the next crossbow mode will start immediately after the right ramp is collected.

Does anyone know how the crossbow scoring works? I’ve received some massive points from the CB, and I wasn’t sure if that’s related to # of walker kills or multikill value.

I just played a TWD on location where starting Blood Bath did NOT start a multiball. Not happy to say the least. Is this a software setting option I’m not aware of? I didn’t notice this in the thread above, but I may have missed something.

[chuckwurt]

I think it might be earlier code. I am pretty sure early on, BB was not a multiball.

[keefer]

Yeah Blood Bath is definitely a more recent rule. It wasn’t in the original shipping code.

[cornycrunch]

On the subject of multiballs, has anyone ever gotten a 4-ball Well Walker multiball? Specifically, not with Blood Bath stacked? It seems to happen about 5% of the time. I mostly have played on a 1.41 machine, but I swear it may have happened once on a 1.5x.

I don’t know if it’s just a weird bug or anything.

No. Never.
Only with BB stacked, and you can start either one first.

[onetaste]

@heyrocker

FOOD - increases a shot multiplier for the well. The multiplier is awarded for any hit to the well (letter, well, well multiball)

This bit has me confused, I don’t understand what this means. Can anyone explain?

Arena
Shooting the Arena ramp starts Arena mode. Arena mode consists of two phases. In the first build phase, looping the right ramp repeatedly awards increasing values starting at a base value of 3M and increasing by 1M per shot (4M, 5M, etc.). If the right ramp is shot out of a repeated combo, the value will be halved. For example, making 2 straight shots and shooting the 3rd ramp later (aka “out of combo”) will award 3M, 4M, and then 2.5M. In the second collect phase, roughly twenty percent of the total value of all points earned by shooting the Arena ramp are available for collect at the Woodbury shot which also ends the mode. You must make an Arena ramp first before shooting Woodbury. The collect is available only when the dome flasher above the Woodbury/Extra Ball shot is strobing.

Has anyone had an issue where they can’t finish arena if either extra ball or woodbury is lit?

[raydaypinball]

Does anyone know what a ‘Past Mode Shot’ is? During the DMD’s display of a local ‘X’ champion, one of the things it says is “A PAST MODE SHOT WORTH 9,000,000”

[blueberryjohnson]

If you light and hit a multikill shot without playing any modes does it award zero additional points?

[Snailman]

No. I don’t believe this is possible. The only way to light multi-kill shots is to successfully make shots in modes and Multiball , which will count toward Your mode & MB totals… and your MK value is a small % of your cumulative mode & MB points throughout the game.

So your MK value from a successful MK shot can be quite low, but never zero.

[blueberryjohnson]

Didn’t realize multikill included points from MB. Thought it was only modes. What about bicycle girl?

[blueberryjohnson]

From the top post, here are a few others that I wonder about:

Completing three crossbow shots.
Collecting the Start Multi-Kill award.
Completing three fish tanks.
Completing two Woodbury skill shots.
Making 10 combos.

[Snailman]

Huh. Perhaps you’re right. I’d forgotten there were those non-mode and non-MB ways to light MK.
