3.5 update “first impression”

AchillesV

Suggested special function on Festive Lucille - Taunt: all walkers and freemen able to attack the wielder, even if the wielder is already stunned, will do so. It overrides their normal movement and target selection. Now someone can REALLY take it like a champ!

It all sounds good! I'm actually okay if they force us to upgrade hospital/mission car first before we can do the council. At least those are useful buildings that will benefit the player, rather than the radio tent or whatever it was last time - 20m supplies for a free 5 call every 3 days? Fantastic, thanks for that...

I'll wait and see for GW, Lucille and the shotgun. Hopefully there are some cool special functions, I already have the shotgun and it's good but not exactly game changing.

I'm really glad there are no new heroes to chase, no new traits to re-roll but it's a shame that the assault class or ranged in general wasn't given some sort of bump. The balance is still off and aside from Sasha & 2 assaults on the occasional high level map they are mostly unused in the challenge.

Hopefully free to play gamer have the chance to upgrade their survivor @ 27 before unlocking the weapons from winter campain...

Sneak peak sounds great. Can't wait to read patch notes.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I believe everyone should curtail their excitement until the update drops. The video from NG does look promising, but the community has been underwhelmed in the past..

And, you can't really blame them. Introducing reinforcement tokens will affect purchasing equipment bundles, which was probably their bread and butter, outside of gold purchases.

@Grendel you said it. I think this update will be big for a lot of older players. (And new players of course). We’re At the point where a lot are slowly walking out, but we’ve been lingering around for guild wars to see if it’s worth staying. And waiting for that upgrade.

A lot of pressure but this update genuinely can end it for a lot of us, or could blow it up again.

Here to thinking big and hoping for the best.

Ps hopefully it’s not in “beta” for 14 years.

Any clue about GW? ...there will ever be a “player vs player”?
Can't handle the day i will finally smash rodent StrikeTeamSquad @vshield50 with my rodent Capy bruiser...

CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since I've been waiting EONS to see this again and dying to equip one of my Hunters with it:


Instead...... EVEN BETTER..... THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:


THE ANTICIPATION IS DRIVING ME MAD ALREADY!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU, NG!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

what am I missing? isn't this just a basic hunter weapon?

Take a closer look, it has lights that distract walkers for .25 of a turn.
P.S. during overwatch of course.

If that's somewhat true, basically shotgun is just a normal hunter weapon and its the same Lucille (no additional traits/special functions for either), these are the WORST campaign rewards ever @Fluxxx ! Really hope I'm wrong...

3750 Alpha tokens would make an excellent 3K reward.

Then I can make her 7-star

My opinion is they have spent a lot of time and efforts to redesign GW into version 2 and new council upgrade. So I'm not expecting very much better weapons (like winter bow, bayonet musket, dragon tongue, ...) for the winter event.
But with winter event and GW run together on the holiday season, it would be very nice.

So much goodness.... I'm stoked!

Everything about this update gives me a massive chub. Those new weapons 😍😍😍 and then revamping the harpoon.

I love you @Fluxxx

This chubs for you big boy

Is that supposed to be no 360degree stun for Lucille? Does that sort of stink. Everything else seems sweet.

But an extra attack makes up for it and gives it some originality and new applications.

ShadowWalker

@ATLAS-Z where did you find out about those weapons?

I wish I actually bought the $5 Harpoon bundle now.

Also please tell me the Dragon's Tongue charge attack will still only cost 2 charge points.

jrodrf2

Love, love, LOVE all the new weapons! Great job, NG!

I'd point out that the description on the festive Lucille says "stunning all targets" for the normal attack. If taken literally, that means you WILL stun all three targets, regardless of razor... But I'm guessing that's not the case.

ATLAS-Z

@ShadowWalker

ShadowWalker

Thanks @ATLAS-Z

There is a second video out now, and it says Assaults and Bruisers charged attacks are guaranteed critical hits. Sweet.

Also, no more random fatties in .2 levels.

This some good shit...

Truf Dizzle presents “THE VIDEO” 😆

@rogueDS think about:
Stabby and HD......
Festive Lucille.......

Bamf Negan. Poop pants. Skull crackin

.......THE END.

@ShadowWalker i got $5 on that harpoon 😆 damn was a steal! Lol hopefully you get one next time ⭐️

Jaden

And on the bottom it says that you can now buy XP with supplies at max council level.

Also really nice.

WellyLuga

The no random fatty in .2 rounds is sweet! It's always been one of the cheaper side of NG's way to make the challenge 'challenging'. Guaranteed crit charges for bruiser/assault will also save me from buying a new phone the next time fast walkers are unleashed!
