Teeceezy · October 2016

Season 7 Missions are playable now! Go try them out!

Amiga · October 2016

Sweet;)) can't wait. The question is how many missions will be available today?

Teeceezy · October 2016

All of the Episode 1 missions, including:

2.2 Patch Notes said:

- Normal Mode: Play with a team of Heroes preselected for the mission, and complete a challenge suitable for players brand-new to the game.
- Hard Mode: Using the special Hero Team, face off against a tougher version of the Season 7 Mission.
- Trial Mode: Using your own heroes and survivors, push yourself to the limit by attempting the Season 7 Mission repeatedly, each time with a higher difficulty.

Oh so it's old chapters with tuning

ok then

Pig · October 2016

If you only have one hero then I guess you're out of luck when it comes to trial mode?

Neil_J · October 2016

I'll reserve judgement until I've played, but in essence it has potential.

zbot · October 2016

@Pig , detail on season 7.

Papacas · October 2016

I wonder if we can play both Normal and Hard missions and get rewards from both? And then do the trial as well for different rewards? Too bad I can only try these tonight (in 8 hours or so)...

Teeceezy · October 2016

You can and you can. @Papacas

Papacas · October 2016

@Teeceezy wow that was fast. Thanks! I hope I can get enough time to try the 3 modes... Swamped in work at this stage, hehe

For the lazy folks like me I'll copy paste Shteevie's more detailed posts about S7 missions that zbot linked to a few posts above this one:

Shteevie said:
1) Season 7 missions 'normal' & 'hard' - use the team we built for you. Tokens as rewards.
2) Season 7 trials - you pick your team; survivors, heroes, or a mix. rewards start with good resources, then progress into phones as you go up in difficulty.
3) Trials difficulty starts relative to your max survivor level, so these will be non-trivial going up to quite challenging for everyone, especially veteran players.
4) Complete the entire Trial [5 wins] within the week to get the special bonus hero token bundle. May require many tries to get this each week!

Shteevie said:
Yep - 7 plays total. I guess I'll give a little extra info because you asked so nicely and there's only a couple days of waiting left...

Gas cost for these is 1, no matter the difficulty. The first 2 playthroughs are with our team, regardless of who you have unlocked. So if a character you don't yet have is in the Season 7 mission, you can 'try them out', though with a fixed level and gear for that mission.

The Trials are more or less just harder versions of the first 2 runs, set to be harder than before. So you'll already have a good idea about enemies, win conditions, etc. There may be some surprises, though. These are also 1 gas each but have a 1 hour cooldown timer after a win, to help you 'recover' from your last fight.

You may find that you need an upgrade, or to try different survivors, between Trial runs 3, 4, and 5, so you have all week to beat them and claim the weekly reward before the next mission opens.

Some of these have a very different setup than what you may have seen before, so the "one of every class" strategy might be the way to go, to keep flexible.

Hope this helps, and that you are as excited as I am for these to be unlocked!

@MadPuppy
Can you add in his other post a bit further down in that thread too please? That has some great info in it!!
(I'm on iPhone.. can't do quotes)
Thank you!!

Edit: Thanks again!!! & you're very welcome!!

MadPuppy · October 2016

Thanks @rgerkman ! I didn't scroll down. Edited.

SlayerSect · October 2016

Really looking forward to the Season 7 missions.

I was going to go to bed early tonight, but I am definitely staying up for the star time.

I'll post my thoughts after i've given them a run.

Always appreciate the new content be added. Keep up the gray work!

Amiga · October 2016

Wrestler trait more than welcome

))

SlayerSect · October 2016

Will the missions, disappear at the end of the week and be replaced by the newer one?

I am thinking this is what will happen.

MadPuppy · October 2016

A new one each week.

rgerkman · October 2016

Hello Negan!!!
I'm excited.. super excited to play the New Missions!!!

MadPuppy · October 2016

I'm all giddy now, playing with Negan! O.M.G.!! Hopping in my chair.
Best stuff ever!
I agree it does not spoil the show.

I mean, I'm looking at a survivor screen of flipping Negan. How cool is that. He move's. He taunts. He's awesome.

He may not be in my roster yet, but it sure feels like it.

Woohoo!

Okay, fan boy is back to his game.

Amiga · October 2016

I love it!!!

Teeceezy · October 2016

Reminder to all: NO Season 7 spoilers, thanks.

Spindig · October 2016

I absolutely love it so far! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Uploading the season 7 missions to YouTube in case anybody wants to watch them again after they play

Rapax · October 2016

Can't watch the video... After few second of video, the screen went black... I've tried to watch it many times.. I get all the same..

rgerkman · October 2016

Awwww Man!!! This is going to be the longest hour wait ever!!!

[Deleted User] · October 2016

OMG.... this is going to be so much fun. I can't wait!

MadPuppy · October 2016

But how much harder will it get each round? (I'll find out soon enough... well, not soon enough, but you get my meaning).
I got walkers 3 levels below me. If it goes up 1 each round I should be able to get it done all the way. Should.... this is fun!!

Amiga · October 2016

Very very nice idea with trial and rewards!! Finally something different to do. Good job NG!

Rapax · October 2016

I can't see my "not-yet-unlocked" heros tab !Help me

Gladi · October 2016

Well, maybe connection with S1-S6(and beggining of S7) is what I need, to understand your anthusiasm guys. For me it was like...huh...what...ok, lets kill ´em.
