The never ending Kaboom challenge as first challenge to show the effects of the challenge rework regarding grind reductions ?

Seriously, good luck with that !

Would be nice to have a nice easy challenge for one week

Hi, I did look, I may have missed the answer but can someone do the simple break down to the new rounds per level please and thanks!

Ok, i know the new starting levels for players. Simple, got that

Can someone tell me please what the new mission levels rounds will be?

As in the old way was:
14 -18 was 1 round
19 -29 was 3 rounds
(I guess above that was 4?)

I thought green level gear was suppose to be removed from gold crate purchases in the shop but it's showing I can still get them? @Kaz

I confirmed that they are removed from the mission crates for missions of level 20 and greater, and they are meant to be gone from the TG shop for players of high level as well. What is your player level? [It's the number in the top left on the camp screen].

I am 67 already started the new council upgrade. Are the percentages just not updated then? It's understandable if not since the update just went live?

@whitek111 please contact support to get your TG back.
With your next TG shop refresh you will not get green gear out of the gold crate.

Oh, you can rest assured that NG knows exactly what challenges from which they make the most money. And you can be sure there is a reason for everything they do. :-)

So, I just noticed my gas cost for scavenge missions has gone from 6 back down to 5. While this is a good change, it is just one more example of bad communication/non communication.

Now I'm just wondering- What else was omitted from the update notes? @Kaz @Shteevie

@Shteevie
What is the criteria to get level 24 weapons from The Distance? I upgraded everything except the scavenger building but am getting level 23 gear. Thanks.

Lvl 24 survivor? It has always been that way for the distance isn’t it? But I can’t recall if it’s highest lvl of survivor or class.

I thought it is the highest survivor level of the given class.

@paintbeast I wonder if it’ll go up to 6 again once you get level 24 survivors

SCBMA

@Steeboon @David_H79
I was always maxed so I actually don’t know the answer. So I have to have one survivor from each class upgraded first?

For this week a hunter and a scout. Yes I think so.

The timers in my camp keep disappearing (radio, training grounds, weapon upgrades). First screenshot is blank but when I force close and come back in it reappears. It keeps happening.

no, it's still 5 per mission with 3 level 24 toons.

i didn't rush upgrade everything, but a guild mate did and posted a screenshot to confirm

I’m not complaining. This is working as intended. Please don’t change this NG!!!

I just did that scavenge map where there is the really annoying pathway on the bottom through the crates that takes 3 rounds to reach, and then 3 rounds to reach the exit. The crate is on the far bottom right and then you have to back out halfway across the screen and go around to the exit.

The map now has that last crate closer to the center of the map, making it much easier to finish this map. That is a huge improvement. Thank you, NG!

JayZ

@TransmuteJun fyi, I think that change happened when the update first dropped, not when the council release occurred. Agreed that it’s a welcome change! Makes that map a lot quicker

That's entirely possible. The 2.10 update didn't drop that long ago, and I haven't played *that* many scavenge missions in the past few weeks because I have been travelling a lot. REgardless, it is a welcome change!

It was a surprise tot Kaz as well.

Hey, just let you know that there was a very typo in the Balance Changes announcement. I've fixed it already.

"- Players with three survivors at Level 20 will start at Difficulty 16" was changed to "- Players with three survivors at Level 20 will start at Difficulty 15".

Thanks!

iced79 you aren't the only one. My token crate (at 30) were missed too. I've already opened a ticket.
