1 vs 100 Live Improvements
-Trust the Brain is now Trust the Top 10 to lessen the numerous times One's were eliminated because the Brain missed the question.
-Your stats can be pulled up by pressing the right trigger now for faster access to those stats. It probably disappears when you let go of the trigger.
-The One now has their status set to Busy so they can't be flooded with messages as people spammed them last season as a distraction.
-The One's entrance is a bit more dramatic, as he/she/it will appear at the top of the nearby staircase and strike a pose before coming down to the center stage.
-Criteria for being chosen for The Mob or The One is now solely based on scoring in the game, for that week, and for the entire season. So now the show rewards frequent players more this season if you check out the Live Shows and Extended Plays often enough.
-You can now earn badges that represent accomplishments that will appear on your in-game profile.
-There is a level system that is based on cumulative score, so you should go up in levels as you play more throughout the season.
-Instead of just a group leader icon, you will be lifted up on a podium if you're the top scorer in your group after a round.
-There are new dance moves based on "The Carlton" and "The Elaine."


Extended Play Improvements
-The set is supposed be much bigger and tuned to make it feel more like you're playing alongside the thousands of others rather than being next to a few avatars and seeing a bunch of red lights to indicate how the crowd did.
-Skips have been replaced with Safeties, which give you credit for the correct answer automatically along with preserving your streak, so you only lose out on time bonuses. Skips only preserved your streak last season, which made you fall behind on points in your group easily for taking advantage of that feature.
-Bonus Questions will show up at times that give you an opportunity for extra points if you get them right. They're supposed to be harder to help give leaders a chance to get a bigger leader, the rest can make up ground a bit faster, and provides for a chance to use the safety.
-There are supposed to be more themed nights that include new additions like Finish the Lyrics, 80's, and Vampires.

If I missed anything or if you have suggestions on information to add to this post, post here to let me know. Thanks.

I just got a 360 arcade and do not have a hard drive yet (waiting to see amazons deals to see if they put any on sale)

do you need a HDD for this?

There is a couple of files you need to download before playing, so you'd at least need a decent-sized memory card (over 50 MB).

Damn, just realized when I was poking around on the fine print for this, that apparently residents of Iowa aren't allowed/aren't supposed to play during the Live games. Kinda sucks for me, though I get a kick out of the extended play anyway.

This game didn't turn to be as cool as I thought it would be. Hopefully this season features questions that people actually know.

They've added some interesting stuff for this season. I'll definitely be checking out some of the Extended Plays tonight.

Just got on for Extended Play and I'm surprised that there was no initial download. There's a new lobby area that recaps your stats for the season so far, counts your presses of the amp button, and counts down the time left until you're in the game.

Damn man I got a 13 streak and got booted, was hoping to keep it going as long as possible. I already have half the achievements from playing one and a half sessions. I must be having the best luck cause I don't recall ever doing so well the first season.

Huh. So the last question of round 2 was already a duplicate question. I didn't follow the first season that much, but does this happen often?

Yeah, there were times where they have reworded questions later in the show.

Son of a bitch. Tried playing this earlier, and I'm getting a "Can't receive data from Xbox live" error or something along those lines. Used a 48 hour gold card I had sitting around due to the free gold weekend coming up, and now my account is showing up as silver when I look at the profile, but when I play OTHER games online, it works. Anyone have any ideas?

Really bummed out I'm missing the first day of this, I was looking forward to it.

It's probably not compatible with Gold trials. Just wait for the Free Gold Weekend that starts tomorrow to check it out.

Ah, that could be an issue I guess. I had a couple one-month trials I never used from GTA4 I was planning on burning up for trivia goodness after the weekend. Might have to use my actual 3 month card instead, eh?

The schedule that you posted, is that just for the first 10 days or so? Common sense is telling me that season 2 should be longer than what your post says.

Scratch that, I just saw elsewhere it goes until Feb sometime.

The one month cards are valid subscription cards, so those should give you a full Gold account since a lot of people used those GTA IV cards to extend their accounts.

It says in the OP that it'll last for 14 weeks. I just posted as many shows as they list in the 1 vs 100 section on the dashboard.

Yeah, I somehow missed that. I just got off work so I'm a little slow at the moment.

I had a lot of fun, the leveling up thing is really cool. I think I got to level 5 or just shy of it. Can this be played with 2 players from one console?

As long as you both have gold accounts.

I played earlier and had more fun this time around than last season. I got up to level 2 and earned new dance moves, lol. I also got a few achievements and I like how you can see your stats by using the RT button.

Oh cool thanks Frisky, I'll have to get a 3 month sub for my lady. It'll be more competitive that way haha.

Did anyone get the cheese for maxing out your avatar action 10 times? I thought I was doing it but didn't get it.

I suck with these new questions. I'd always get two right and then the third would be something obscure.

[quote name='CouRageouS']Did anyone get the cheese for maxing out your avatar action 10 times? I thought I was doing it but didn't get it.[/QUOTE]

You can only get that one during the live rounds apparently, not Extended Play.

Played this for the first time last night, it's a fun diversion for a few minutes I guess. If they started charging for it I'd not be interested though.

My wife and I played last night. It's fun, though it's just trivia. Neither of us are that good at trivia. Still, I'll play it more. One question: how do you have a "4 player team"? I didn't see how you would play with more then one player on the xbox, or is the 4 player team with other people over the net? Either way it wasn't obvious how you do that.

It can be on the same xbox or over the net. I got it last night with 3 random people that were added to my 1 vs 100 party.

Frisky, nice job with the thread!

Tried some extended play last night, and the new stage for it is Awesome! Got to get my old timing back and I couldn't play for too long last night anyway.
That said I cannot wait for the live show tonight! I will probably play an EP Session or 2 to get fully back into the swing of things, this way when the Live show starts, I'll be ready!

You can have someone sign in as a guest, once the gold person signs in.

Damn it. It looks like I'm having the same issue as yesterday, even switching to another Live account that didn't have the 48 hour gold trial in case that was blocking the free gold weekend. Something's broken somewhere.

I hate that you get passes in this game for getting 3 in a row right. I also hate that 2 out of every 3 questions are comic book related for General 1 vrs 100.

The live show starts in about ten minutes or so, for anyone that wants to play and might have forgotten about it.

For the Silver guy that had issues: http://twitter.com/1vs100XboxLIVE/status/5906158892

Damn I forgot I had to download it again... Guess I jump in on the live game later than I wanted.

How is this game still broken? I've been kicked off of the show and then Live twice in the first 15 minutes, which is about how every live show last season began. The Extended Play shows were fine yesterday, so I was hoping that they got their act together during the off-season, but I see that they didn't fix anything.

Me and the GF are in and no problems so far. I have gold and she has silver.

It's calmed down now, as I'm on my third straight round.

I like that before the round starts, it'll specifically tell you if you're in the crowd, mod, or the one in the widget up atop so people don't think they're in the mob every round.

Edit: They also got rid of most of the in-game leaderboards, so people probably won't be masking X to get their gamertags on there.

I ended up being in The Mob the last round. Ended up winning Uno Rush and 80 Microsoft Points.

Pretty awesome for my first Mob appearance.

Did anybody else just see The One do the chicken dance from Arrested Development? :lol: I saw a comparison that said the dance you unlock for lvl 2 is from Spiderman 3 (Peter's infamous dance scene).

I'm tired of seeing The One come from the Mob, or go the Mob after loosing/winning

Despite the bad start, it was a pretty good evening. I'm only a level 8 from playing yesterday and today, so there's still a long ways to get level 50. At least the achievements are fairly easy, so it shouldn't be too hard to eventually get them all.

You're not the only one Frisky, at the beginning, both times when Cashman went live I got disconnected. But it was smooth sailing after that. I was getting pissed off that my group couldn't nab the group hug achievement, IMO each round usually started with 3-5 very easy/simple questions and one person would always miss it!

Finally got a solution, had to use a full 1-month card to kick it in the nuts and get it rolling.

Went from level 1 to 15 playing from the extended play before the show and then to the end of the live show, had a good time. One of the people in my little group got into the mob at one point which was fun. Only 3 achievements shy from all of them. Gotta get 500 questions, get 6 consecutive instant answers, and 3 instant incorrect answers.

Bit annoying I had to dump a full month card on it now instead of using the free weekend, but such is life. Glad I can play.

That sure was a fun night. I was in the first ever mob for the season! Got knocked out on the artist question, which was very annoying. First time I've been in the mob ever! I think they went by lifetime score for the first mob because I did rather well on the extended plays last night (4/8 Top 100) Furthermore, everyone in my party of four ended up in the mob as well, with only one of us getting prizes... There is always next time.

I got picked to be in the Mob too!

I got knocked out with a question like this "Which saint was patron to animals?"

Choices: X) Saint Patrick
A) Saint Frances
B)Saint Mark


2 questions later, the One gets knocked out and a few people win a prize...

Didn't think I was gonna get picked. My accuracy was at 62%, level 15, a score around 300k+

Acheivements? Very sweet. Maybe now I can convince more of my friends to play along with me online.

I read that you can unlock GOBs chicken dance from AD. What level do you unlock it? I have to have it.

You think the guy in the $3000 suit is going to tell you? Come on!

I played Friday night some extended and the live show. Got a few of the achievements as well. I'll continue to play I love trivia

I think I'll check this out tonight. If I want to join in, what time do I do so? If, say, it shows a show happening at 10:30, how and when do I join?
