Is this a new thing? Now before I finish a turn, preview cirlcles appear that show where the walkers will move to after turn is finished. Makes it too easy. Please bring back the guessing factor. B)

    I have seen those as well. It usually is like the border of where you can move your survivor but they pop up when your going to be opening something that releases walkers so you can't move your player there. The most I've seen them is for example this week's mission when you open the box truck to let out the armored walkers. If tried to position your other survivors around the one opening the door there are certain spots that are bordered out so you can't .

    I guess that these blocked areas were made in an attempt to not allow players to block walkers' respawn points... but something gone wrong.

    I can't post a screen shot of it because it happens during the action in a turn and then they disappear. But they allow me to see where to position my hunter to take out the spawning row. Not a bad thing but it seems like a mistake.

    Those circles have been there for at least a year. I remember seeing them back in 2.0 and 2.1. We also give some "sound wave" effects behind obstacles that block line of sight in order to give you hints as to where enemies are that are beyond 1 turn of movement away.

    Don't worry; they aren't going away. The only easy alternative I can think of would be to stop the character short, but that would be problematic for a variety of reasons and possibly feel like a bug for lots of players.

    It is either badly worded, or @rustynail is talking about something else.
    The circles shown by @I_Am_Psycho are actually the current location of the walkers, not a prediction of where they will move.

    The circles i am referring to a circles that appear before you perform an action like opening a truck etc. They show where the fresh 'n tasty walkers will go after being released from a truck or where they will spawn, not the walkers that already are on the gameboard. To me this is a new thing. But.....maybe...i have been playing with closed eyes for a year :|

    As soon as you go to open the door, the incoming positions are determined and the circles show up before the animation of the incoming is activated. The circles are marking their current location, like @shteevie says. One of many cases where the outcomes of actions are shown before the animation triggers.

    I'm not sure why you would want these removed but each to their own, I'm glad they will not be going anywhere.
