mack22 · January 20

Bravo is all I got to say.
Finally a challenge where you can mix melee with ranged, thank you.
Now just waiting to see this week's leaderboard.

Found a bug...

Riot-Glenn can´t reach the exit, even if he should.

This challenge will be ending early I guess.

After the cable is installed, you must go outside the cars to reach the exit, if one of your survivor is on the wrong side.
The upper way on your screen is blocked, but the lower way is accessible.
Happened to me too.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Thanks

They skipped the payoff! I wanted to see the cars drive off, mowing down any remaining walkers! Probably too detailed of programming, though.

Billbam · January 20

why can't we climb under or over the cable hahaha?

m4s · January 20

We exciting The cable. New re-worked trait Eekiel is climb or over cable 😆😆😆

Seems like something wrong with Secure the Lodge. Those freemen seem abnormally hardy if not damage proof.

IcePeter · January 20

You can’t see or get to them. I can’t even tell what the map layout is. Triple-bruiser map.

Congrats to all winning maps of the dream challenge community event! Even though some insane spawning, I like these maps. Maybe it's because they are new? Perhaps it's because today's still Wednesday? 🤣😂 But I do like pt 2 and all six maps will definitely challenge my survivors. Grrr...

Thanks, NG. Any chance for another dream challenge community event for Pt 3? 🤞🏽

NG, please lighten the screen under the lower car. Players keep not "seeing" that they have to go around. If the map at the bottom of the screen is brighter, it will be easier for players to see they can go that way.

Another solution is to do away entirely with the fog of war without line of sight aspect on this map. It's a count down map. If you don't make it you lose. Fog of war isn't adding to the gaming experience at all in a positive way for this specific map. Keep all the spawns. Keep the timer the way it is. But change the fog of war so players can see more easily and brighten the bottom portion so the blue movement area bubble is clearly visible and players go "Ah ha!"

It's actually nice to have some trickier maps and some harder maps and some nice mix between mele and range driven strategies.

I have to say I really LOVE the split on The Future. 3rd position for spear rick or beta. Can your solo character survive until you free him? Really fun. I was cringing when I didn't think rick would make it over the bridge and for that one moment I felt like I was having a serious TWD themed experience. Thank you.

When you rewrite the script for the sake of xp...

Sasha + 2 assault do the job perfectly in this map.
3 melee freemen come out on third turn and 1 range freeman on fourth turn (I think).

Wattlauefer · January 21

On the Secure the Lodge-map you can try to block the spawnpoints, so only 1 freeman can came up

Don't know if useful, but in secrue the hostage, you can move the garbage container. So you have access without drop the fence

I'm glad to hear you guys are enjoying the map set, I'm liking it myself too

You're right about the confusing aspect in Cable Ties - we'll try to find ways to make the areas around the cars more visible.
While it would technically make sense for survivors to be able to get through the cable, we went with this so that you have to be a bit more mindful with the positioning of survivors

Can someone in the staff reach out to AMC?

I'd like to see:

MONSTER TRUCK vs WALKER HORDE

Who is opening the fence at this strategy?

Firekid · January 21

Just do it after once the single freeman is dead.

Gates of Hell - Really like the set up with this one, it's a very nice map to prowl/herd and I like that it's not spawn dependant. It seems to have the same setup every time I've played it. Big plus for me.

The Future - By far my favourite map. Not only is the back drop with the river really nice, it plays very well. I've had success with Beta, Daryl and Rick. Rick can keep himself safe herding alone and I've managed to be able to chip away at the walkers on the right with Beta/Daryl.

Cable Ties - Another cool map that plays well, not too difficult to just chill at the start and build up charges. An assault can be used to keep the horde at bay. The only issue I've had is sometimes walkers approach around the cars and other times they don't.

Rescue operation - Same start, every time. Again a big plus for me. Plays quite nicely with Sasha, RGG and an assault.

Secure the lodge - A gold sap of a map. 2 freemen hunters? Come on, these are the sort of maps that make me hate that players have been given the chance to design maps. Any seasoned player knows how much of a dick one freemen hunter can be, to put two on? Christ

Herd it thru the grapevine - Hate it. Auto spawns in the middle of the map, blind corners an objective that makes you go right to the end and then two tanks spawn on the finish when you get the green light? To make things worse if you have to open all 5 you end up with 3 tanks on the map. Absolutely awful design with no thought to playing it at high level. The only saving grace is the spawns stop after a while or else it might be one of the worst maps in the game.

Overall I really like it but the last two I mentioned could do with some balance IMO. Still early days and I'm only on 41/42 so still figuring out the best ways to play them.
