Comprehensive 1.9 Update Thread (UPDATED)

SlickRick

@zbot

Can we merge with stickied for the update?

lmfgunnut

1500 Trade Goods are protected by your council. now there will be no protection of trade goods. they will all be up for grabs (10%) them anyway.

@zbot please merge with master update discussion thread.

Amiga

"Gas can now go over the max when received from rewards"
..also good change. This update is the big step forward NG

@zbot please merge with master update discussion thread. Posted this before I saw the sticky.

@amiga it seems you were basically correct. They fixed EVERYTHING in this update. I'm sure there will be things left out, but it seems pretty damn extensive.

General_Pain

This update appears to be mainly fixes to the current systems! Let's see if this will improve the experience. The 2 big things are the new radio system and the new challenge map.

@Amiga If I had to guess, NG are preparing for something "big", but they had to fix these before that.

SlickRick

I don't know what these 2 mean but they sound appealing...more gas and XP is always good:

- Get a Gas booster - free Gas for 24 hours
- Get an XP booster - double XP for 24 hours

Amiga

@SlickRick
For me it sounds like - money makers...

Dale

So no more brushing my teeth with one hand and hitting End turn with the other. Can't say that I'm going to miss that.

SlickRick

@Amiga

Hey one can hope and dream can't they!!

General_Pain

@SlickRick I have 2 theories for this:

Either we get them in the first 24h after the update, or we will have them once a week... ( not at the same time though)

These are my thoughts. What do you think?

Mystique

I am loving everything about this update!! Great job NG!! But did I miss where it was said when it was happening?

SpacemanSpiff

I wonder if these "boosters" are basically buffs that are bought with money/gold. I'm fine with that, but depending on how much it costs, there will be discontent expressed by some, I bet.

Update patches to Outposts looks really good, and may help improve that aspect of game. But protection removed?...as in no more shields? lol

Overall, seems like some good changes....but I suspect it'll have a heavy $$$ angle to it, which is understandable, and unlikely to alter the way I play

SlickRick

@painclasher

It would be weird if it was just a one time thing...once a week or so seems like it would make more sense

Amiga

I think we will be able to buy it in ingame shop. Always something....if price will be reasonable.
But the biggest mile-step "+" for me is 25% scrap back ))))

Amiga

each..no more 7k kills.... I have to live with that....

lmfgunnut

maybe they are sold for like 500 gold or 25000 TG. That would be cool

I wonder how much it will cost to buy a booster.

I was wondering that myself

SmittY

What does this mean? Recruiting survivors just got much more legendary. The new radio call system gives you the option to choose from one, two or three survivors with every call you make. Quantity? Class? what?

Amiga

@SmittY
you will call 3 random survivors and you will pick one.

lmfgunnut

On timing, we already know what the next challenge is (factory) so it doesn't have to be before tomorrow morning.

raton

No new council in this update? Great for me, i have things to upgrade yet

BarcodeJ

Awesome addittions with this update guys! Love the xp scrapping change. Now please give me back something to do on the weekends! No challenge on sat and sun is really killing the game for me. Make the day off during the week when all of us are working.

SmittY

@Amiga 1 or 2 or three not pick one from 3 offered. Does that make sense?

Mystique

@BarcodeJ I can't agree with the challenges on the weekend! I am loving the free time for real life with family!

BarcodeJ

@Mystique than maybe a whole week challenge with no break to allow people to max out on stars when they have the most time and take their break when they are done. But trying to earn 200-300+ stars when you work 10AM-8Pm mon-fri is basically impossible or severely expensive.

raton

"My Classes: Watch videos of your unlocked classes to master their skills and charge abilities"
Explanation please!!

Conan1976

Good job NG

Mystique

@BarcodeJ I would be onboard with that suggestion! Everyone maxes out at their own pace and use the rest of the time as they choose!

Mystique

Guess there is no point to the thousand tanks spawning on the Shut Them Out Map anymore then! Lol
