Fix to the Reckonin' and Weekend Event News

Teeceezy

Hey all,

Today (Tuesday 1/3) we implemented a fix to the Reckonin’ weapon. Thanks to reports from the community we were able to pinpoint an issue in which the weapon did not cause any body shots, even when attacking an enemy of a level way above the levels of the attacker. This was a bug that was never intended to be in the game and was one that was deemed important to fix as soon as possible in order to keep the game balanced and fair for everyone. This fix brings the Reckonin’ back in line with the body shot logic of all other weapons.

We are aware this may cause disappointment and as a thank you for your understanding of the situation, are going to have a four day 1 Minute Gas Weekend Event, starting on Thursday at 9 AM UTC and ending on Monday at 1 PM UTC.

Cheers,
- Teeceezy

Hey Thanks for the update!! And seriously I freaking love this game...spent well over $100.00 on it so I'm pretty into it!!

Teeceezy

I brought a Daryl bundle yesterday and I did not receive the bundle and I did not get my money back

Teeceezy

Hey @dylan132, please contact support through the in-game Help menu. You can find it in your Settings in the top-right hand corner of your screen. They'll get you sorted out as soon as possible!

How about something for the people maxed out on supplies. Kind of makes the game not as fun when you sit for weeks with maxed supplies.

Teeceezy

Thanks for the feedback @ledgejeff, that's definitely something that the team could look at!

Good thing...it would be perfect with again 5 seconds healing times for shooters! ;-)) And when will be the boxes in the trade shop again available to change supplies to trade goods? Our storages are already long time full again! Thanks in advance!

I wish I had known that because of this issue the weapon was not preforming correctly, cuz I sold my Level 12 Reckonin and equipped Rufus with some weak assault rifle.. Is there anyway for you guys to remedy this little problem? Thanks for your time, trouble, and Great Game!
Regards, Jordan

Hey guys I really appreciate the response time you have with fixes and the creativity that is put into the game. It is nice to play a game that is always kept fresh and new content while still keeping it fair to the players. I know that the sole purpose of the company is to make money but with next games it doesn't feel like that's all that matters. I spend my money on this game now because I want to not because I feel forced in order to advance. Thank you

CucuRico

I sold mine also...maybe we will get one free in the trade shop

@CYBERDOLPHIN8 A weapon that never body shots is hands down the best weapon in the game by a country mile and that's why this bug needed fixing. It was our mistake that the bug made it in the live game and we're having this special weekend event as a thanks for your understanding.

Well.. I don't feel so bad about missing the legendary reckonin pack now... I already have a lv 20 legendary rifle with good traits.. I'd rather trash my molotov and use that instead... Already trashed a lv 20 6* assault to go back to 22 because who wants to struggle with lv 23 walkers til 2018? Well, assault is worthless, again...

Couldn't agree more. It dose feel the game is coming to an end for you when you can't spent the slupies aa.nymore and you are just maxed all the time. Sometimes you can spend them in the trade shop, that at least helps.

I'm curious about the rationale that is used regarding body shots for a Molotov cocktail. The damage is done from fire so it really doesn't matter where the body is hit. It actually made sense that body shots weren't applied to the Reckonin'. Also, in regard to all the "fixes", if everyone is playing under the same set of rules, what does it matter if the game behavior is something that wasn't intended? Every player, regardless of level can use that behavior, so it is fair. What isn't fair is continually identifying player strategies and changing the game rules, after the fact, to eliminate those strategies. I've taught my son from the time he started playing games, that changing rules in the middle of a game is cheating.

A walker only dies from a headshot right?

Como faço para recuperar o meu progresso

I guess I am not as observant as I thought. I didn't even notice that there was a problem except that Rufus wasn't very effective sometimes. I love the game and play it every day. I haven't spent a lot of money on it, but I have spent some, which is more than any other game I play on my phone.

mikkig92

Thank you for addressing this issue.

I hope that you make Aaron the next hero! He might just be the most balanced, level headed survivor!

PowerUK

With regards to brining the molotov into line with other weapons in the game, will the % level of its lucky trait be increased? It's either in line with other weapons or it isn't ☺

Also, and please see this as a constructive criticism, please test things more rigorously before releasing for sale. It can only save everyone some aggravation. Mostly yourselves.

Fixing bug isn't a nerfing game.
We had bug months ago when killing walkers at exit zone gave trylion of XP.. So fixing it was also a nerfing?!

Orion

@MadPuppy Walkers aren't very threatening if they can't move because their muscles have been burned away. Your logic isn't even consistent with how the game currently plays. Burning walkers expire after enough time for the damage that is done to them, even if they aren't hit. It's been like that since burning walkers were introduced to the game, months ago.

Hmm this should have really being announced prior to the legendary version going on sale you know guys. Thought you had got away from these shenanigans.

I for one thought this was intended as how the hell do you body shot from explosive which would impact the entire mass

Unfortunately we only discovered this issue after the Rufus Bundle had gone on sale.
