You have already almost everything, but here are some extra details!

EDIT: 2.11 is LIVE!

first!!

I swear... If I can't get a legendary bazooka because the necessary tokens are in the hard distance mode on maps 18+ I will be super pissed off!!!

It's the only thing I can see that's going to cause a hindrance. This will most likely help larger guild families to want to have the strongest players in each guild to maximize their rewards. Some guild players sometimes want to "stay" in the guild they are at eventhough they qualify for a higher ranking guild. This will help fuel the desire for them to move around.

I also hope the "summer tokens" are distributed evenly. I'm also going to be pissed off if I see someone repeatedly get an offer of multiple tokens daily yet my daily quest resets don't give me any.

I'm sure this is something, since it's running through August 29th, that there are many ways to earn them and many days to earn them. I just hope I don't get screwed out of it because I can't defeat the hard distance mode or RNG doesn't give me the reward in the daily quests.



Other than that everything looks great and I'm looking forward to it!!

^^^Agree with @DLich statement

Question!

Does the new improved bodyshot calculations apply only to offense or do they apply to defense too?

Pain Walker

Also a remainder that everything in this update is free and for the better.

JayZ

All of this sounds good to me

One quick question: What does this mean?

Challenge Trade Goods Miscalculation
A bug has been fixed which caused an incorrect calculation regarding Trade Goods rewards and Challenge Round Passes.

What was the bug and what is the fix going to be?

Can't get it to play

I just hope guild rewards don't mess with me getting the legendary weapon. I can pass the hard distance but i don't want to leave my guild even though I got 1000 stars each week, but the guild only gets 2400 or so. I like my guild mates

paintbeast

Hmm...fix the grind...or make them want to grind even more? Mwuahahaha!!!

An excellent question @Kaz

Higher rarity pinks are less likely to be critical hit etc.

Firekid

Sounds good especially if we are getting out trade goods back! And if so an admission they got it wrong and was a "bug". If so then the update gift should include a fair whack of trade goods as well as the gas and XP booster.

@JayZ its prob where when challange starts some players have more stars than what they actually earned it happened to me a few months ago i started challange with tad bit over 1000 stars

Questions about the RPG:
Can we know the traits that comes with?
What lvl will it be, and what we will determine that lvl?
Would we be able to "hold" to unlock it? Let's imagine you are close to be one lvl up, council upgrade, etc...

And one comment, an RPG that doesn't set walkers on fire is a big LOL, I understand the need of balance, but I'm sure you could come up with something better and a bit more aligned with elementary physics, that goes beyond Sci-Fi!!

Firekid

@Kaz any more input in this? Fair few questions and not much activity. Would be good to get some answers if possible?

zeeblack

First, when is the update coming.

Second, everybody would want to have a legendary bazooka. Agree with @DLich concerns about token placements.

Great that the bazooka would not be automatically going off in overwatch or setting the walkers on fire.

Very much like to echo the last point there. There are a lot of people below lv24 (or 23 for that matter) who are skilled and dedicated players but simply haven't been playing long enough to reach the level cap. Just like bundle weapons, there's no point working hard or paying for something that you're going to make obsolete through leveling soon after.

Is there a case for making very rare weapons like this a 'heirloom' item like we see in things like WoW? Either leveling with you or a token that you can activate when you're ready?

Love the idea of Daryl's RPG, but worried about it's longevity. Surely one or two heirloom items wont be economy breaking...

The tokens will be evenly distributed, so everybody will see the same number of tokens in their games. However, since this is an event for veteran and active players, you will have better chances of getting the Legendary RPG if you play the Hard Distance Missions and even more if you restart The Distance. Normal Distance will also have Summer Tokens. On top of that, some of our events will also have Summer Tokens as rewards.

It applies both to offense and defense!

Round passes were sometimes doubling guild rewards. It was not the intended behavior.

This first one we are going to give during the Summer of Explosions will have Silver Lucky, Gold Accurate and Gold Destructive! The Legendary version will have the same traits as well.
The level will be the same as your highest Hunter and you don't need to claim it right away. It'll be available for you and you have until the end of August to claim it.
And well, we have a crossbow that can kill more than 8 walkers with one shot, so that's even more surreal, haha. But it doesn't seem to have bothered anyone in the past.

We are planning to have it released this week. So far everything seems good to go, but we are still running some tests to see if we find something weird.

Thank you @Kaz

Personally, as long as it does as advertised it will be the BOOM!!!!

Crossbow is no joke either wanting both really really badly!!!

I am with not sticking summer tokens in Hard Distance missions 18-21 if possible

Firekid

@Kaz so you aren't going to be rebalancing the TG received from the challenge then? booo! Other than that looks like a good update!

You'll find Summer Tokens in missions below that. In Mission 8 and 16 if I'm not mistaken.

Oh yeah, by the way. We are sticking with the 3 round passes throughout the summer (and probably forever), so that should help with the TG as well!

Firekid

Oooh that's a big one @Kaz (that's what she said) kept that quiet, loving 3 round passes!

CBgaming1969

Super, super Extremely AWESOME @Kaz

O.M.G.!!

You made my day @Kaz

nadecir

Those traits (gold accurate, gold destructive) for the RPG do not work very well for high level play.

The only enemy that has a chance for a critical hit is the single one that is targeted at high levels. At high levels, you are likely to body shot the surrounding enemies. And no charge attacks makes gold destructive less useful.

Silver luck is ok, but without a charge attack it won't be useful with Sasha. Sasha is important for high level play.

If the traits for the RPG are as Kaz indicates, I will prefer a better hunter weapon for high level play. The combination of features of the RPG and weapon traits don't make it very useful.

Kaz did mention that this RPG is the "first one". Maybe there will be another weapon offered with better traits.

bladgier

@nadecir

1. Critical damage is not limited to one target.
2. You've forgotten that RPG will not be affected by bodyshots, meaning any attack from that weapon regardless of enemy lvl won't be a bodyshot which means that those are actually very good traits for that kind of weapon.

WellyLuga

@bladgier It's only the central target which isn't governed by the body shot rule, the surrounding targets will be so I can see the point.

I can't see myself using it too much for challenge missions but it will be very useful for the distance, it should mean you aren't as reliant on charge attacks and/or Sasha.

I thought the only target that won't be affected by body shots when using the RPG is the one targeted by RPG or the central target whatever term they used in the patch notes. I think @nadecir is talking about the others targets caught in the blast may just be body shots at higher levels.

Edit: I should have the central target won't be affected by body shots or something like that. I kind of made it sound like the ones around the central target will be body shots when it's more like there will be a chance for body shots.

Shut_Up

Why is it Daryl's RPG and not Abraham's RPG??? Or one could even call it Rosita's RPG as she has been known to blow up some stuff with a RPG.

bladgier

What? Are you serious? Only one central target is non bodyshot?

I'm speechless then. Thought it will be a very powerful weapon.

@nadecir your point stands then, my bad 👍
