I've got nothing to complain about. Obviously everyone isn't going to get what they were asking for but I'm impressed with the new interface. Less gas for missions, better rewards, better selection of trade goods and lower cost. Even my survivors seem to be getting less body shots all around and more critical hits. Appreciate the free gift also!

I have no complaints either... looks smooth!!

7 gas for scavenger mission?

Thought this was going to be reduced not increased?

Teeceezy · October 2016

Reduced at mid-game @BigRich.

LabRat · October 2016

Looks great now ty.

JayZ · October 2016

@Teeceezy I'm usually pretty positive about changes, but increasing gas costs for exploration missions is seriously some BS. Did you seriously just advertise the positive change and selectively forget to mention that you made things crappier for a lot of players? Wtf is up with that man? I thought @Shteevie said that they were going to make exploration missions more viable, less of a grind, etc. Everything with NG seems to be one step forward, two steps backwards...

@JayZ Perhaps it was their endgame content

I am seeing 6 gas for scavenge missions.
Hard and normal are both 6 gas
Is the gas cost tied to your camp or srvr level?

LadyAquila · October 2016

Looks pretty good except for the broken Outpost map that 80% of the people use and 7 gas for exploration missions. What does "reduced at mid-game" mean @Teeceezy?

JackBauer · October 2016

I like the new "Interrupt Avoided!" message in the match.

JayZ · October 2016

@EL34xyz I'm guessing yes. Either that or your mission progress. For context, I've finished all missions on normal and my camp level is 54.

I'm just incredibly frustrated about NG's communication on this. There were many things that I was expecting (e.g., the luck nerf, trait rebalancing, etc.). However, when I read the changelog this morning, it said NOTHING about screwing over higher level players on gas costs. I can't wait to find all of the other ways NG has secretly screwed players without mentioning it in the changelog.

Honestly, this seems like a dirty way for NG to get people to spend more money on gas and gas boosters. Upping gas costs from 6 to 7 means that players can only run ~80% as many missions as before.

If you think it's dirty, don't comply.

Which gas costs have gone up for you @JayZ?

Amiga · October 2016

XP side missions I reckon. From 6 to 7.

JayZ · October 2016

@Teeceezy Scavenger missions. They're up to 7 gas now.

@Shteevie had previously said:

Altering Exploration missions has been a goal for a long time, but it has always rested "below the fold" so to speak when it comes time to scope out releases. We have had plans for it that go back to launch. I'm aiming for some kind of changes that would be less ambitious, hopefully providing good bang for the buck, and could therefore get into a release sooner than later.

Is this your idea of "less ambitious" "good bang for the buck" changes? Not only is it more expensive for players, but the "Hard" option isn't even worth it for high level players. For a level 19 player, 500 XP is negligible. Furthermore, because crate unlocks are capped, there's really no benefit of playing harder missions. Really, the only difference in playing hard missions is you're more likely to get bruised by 1 hit.

Thanks @JayZ. I'll pass on your message to the team.

@JayZ
I have finished all 14 episodes also
My camp is level 48 and my A team is level 17
I am paying 6 gas for the side missions, same as before

EL34xyz · October 2016

Ok, that seems to splain that
The gas cost seems to be based on camp level

Welcome.
