Okay I have questions.

Am I correct in assuming that we will be unlocking Negan if we do all of this weeks missions?

Will we be getting a new hero to unlock after every new episode?

No. You can only get 1/8th of the Negan tokens every week. You'll have him by the end of Season 7.

Season 7A, yes.

General_Quatre

Right, sorry. 8 weeks.

Morgan

So the 8 weeks are to only unlock Negan or will we have any new heroes?

@NG new missions look cool well done! Time for some positivity on the forums again!

It's a long hour to wait... I enjoyed having Negan and Rick fight together.

Agree @Conan1976 ... Well done NG!

Yes it's a long wait,....
Only disagreed because I'm not over negan yet,... Maybe in a few weeks I'll change it to agree,...

I'm having fun playing the first two missions over & over again while I wait.. even though they're many lvls below where my regular Survivors/Missions are.. it's fun!! For now atleast lol

Conan1976

Soooo, what would be the best team to finish this first one?

Edit; question was already ot there

OneLessTitan

I'm sticking with Daryl as leader with Abraham as back up. Retaliate on Daryl is working nicely...haven't even bothered using my 6 star scout yet.

This is a really great idea! I love having the scenes from the episode, as well as the 'sneak peek' video for next week's episode. It's fun playing with the new characters, and I am looking forward to unlocking Negan.

Kudos to NG and AMC for coming up with this great addition to the game!

Just got through Trial 4 (10 phones, nice!) but my lvl20 6* Shooter was heavy-injured so I'm thinking either to wait for him and my lvl20 6* Hunter (they're my only two lvl20s so far), since my Assaults will be fairly useless against the lvl21 normal walkers, and way worse against fatties. Even my Scout will probably just end up grappled...although in my previous encounter, my shooter beat a grapple and killed a walker at a VERY crucial time...the wrestler trait is a good change for sure.

Who's beaten the 5th trial? Any tips? I'm gonna try replaying on Easy mode just to memorize the spawn locations...

Top8dog

Just completed the same mission,... With hunter and assault,..I killed a fattie then watched as he got back up and grappled my assault,... Who promptly killed him lol
Both heavely injured

Vakali

I completed trial 4 with assault/hunter. I have good shooters and I wonder with the bonus maybe a 2 shooter combo for 5 maybe?

kryptonix

I've beaten all trials with a 5* lvl 20 scout and warrior with no injuries. Was fun to get this new content. Overall I believe we got 30 free phones and 52 Rick tokens and 32 for Negan.

Thanks for adding this in, the tie in to the show was also very cool.

JayZ

@kryptonix What was the highest RSL you faced (and what is your max survivor level right now)? Did the zombie spawns change as the trials increased, or did you face the same thing each round? I'm on the fourth trial now so would be nice to have some information to decide what survivors to use.

Monsuta

1st is -2 RSL you highest survivor level, reward supplies & xp
2nd is -1 RSL you highest survivor level, reward supplies & xp
3rd is RSL you highest survivor level, reward 5 phones
4th is +1 RSL you highest survivor level, reward 10 phones
5th is +2 RSL you highest survivor level, reward 15 phones

kryptonix

@JayZ agree with @Monsuta although it is 'highest' and 15 phones + the 30 Rick tokens for beating the series.

MizTy

It's like a hitherto unknown level of rewards generosity! Thx NG for not being stingy with the rewards.

@Shteevie
As a follow up to an earlier conversation regarding story mode missions rewards, I would have been much happier with your decision of decreasing the rewards amount if it had been done in this update, rather than 2.1.

It feels like a total slap in the face to think you're gonna get something & NG changes that something, without explanation, without warning.

Please consider in future updates adjusting things at the same time. The "nerfs first then buffs later" strategy you've been advocating doesn't seem to be going over very well with veteran players, even when it comes to the little things. Js. ..

Monsuta

@kryptonix
didn't notice the typo, just copy/paste from the first one

Sipher07

What is the hierarchy of mission, episode vs. chapter in this new organization? Thanks
If im grinding the mission 1 trials and complete it, do I need to wait 7 days to get to next missions, or is it 7 days to next set of missions

JayZ

@MizTy Shhh... don't let NG know! You don't want them to change it in future missions...

Thanks @Monsuta and @kryptonix. No changes in the number of fatties that spawn later on?

TheLostOnes

So I just completed trial episode 5/5 (very nice rewards, NG, thanks!).

Was I wrong to think there would be a third tupe of mission (one where you use your heroes) after that? Or is it over now?

MizTy

@TheLostOnes
I think it's over for you now. The trials "allowed" you to use your own heroes (or survivors).

The wording in the first announcement was initally unclear, but since then I believe TCZ modified it. Hth

TheLostOnes

@MizTy yes, seems like it. Also found a post by Shteevie that made it clear.

It was short but fun. And again, great rewards for very little gas!

707EmeraldTriangle

So far I am loving the Season 7 trials. I played couple round got killed in the last. Hmmm rethinking my strategy.

TheLostOnes

PS I liked to use an assault/hunter combo. Was able to do all 5/5 without getting bruised.

kryptonix

@JayZ the amount and type of walkers didn't change, only level.

Monsuta

@kryptonix
By the way I think it's total 62 Rick token, 32 for Episode 1 & another 30 for completing the trials.

5/5 club
Done with 2x Hunters. Half of my survivors heavy wounded ;p
