I feel like it’s all already been said over and over but this update is just awful in every way. Of all the things in need of fixing…guild wars…they decide to make displays smaller and add icons no one wanted. Now it’s so much tougher to know what’s going on…who’s crippled, who’s stunned and for how long. When you have a ton of walkers on the screen you can’t even figure out what’s going on. There are delays and the ridiculous slow movement of scouts too. I’ve been playing this game since the start. It’s almost unplayable after this update. Please change it back. This isn’t fun. It’s really tough to want to push further now or even to want to play.
@Lexia@Fluxxx Would be great to hear some official feedback on this thread. At least acknowledging these issues is a way better than being silent for several days.
Bad a change! The first is about symbols: using a dark background instead of a transparent or light background, the animations changes continuously between the overlapping symbols, it's just confusing; "In a strategy game, I spend a lot of time scrutinizing symbols to avoid confusion instead of calculating tactical moves?" Second: incredible slowness of animation holding spear even at x2, "How much time does it take for the game with this slowness? All day?" I bet everyone wants to go back to the way they were, this update is funny and bad. A small part of my team has paused the game until the symbols, animations are reviewed and returned by NextGame. "Game made for community. It would be silly and stupid not to listen to the community"
I would like community to have some sort of voting for what quality of life improvements will be implemented. These changes were unnecessary, old status UI was good enough.
Hey @Fluxxx ... when @Lexia was joining the team, you said this:
“I know I wasn't always very active on the forum - partly due to to internal changes to my role, but the team and I always listened to all of your valuable feedback and opinions, and held them in very high regard. Whenever I've had a chance to talk about the NML community, my go-to description has been that you guys are passionate, dedicated, tight-knit, vocal (in a good way ), and that you've had a tremendous impact on the development of the game. Just in the past two years there's been many great changes thanks to your contributions and, without going into much detail, there will be many more 🤭”...
Please, don’t get me wrong, we do appreciate your efforts, and when you listen to this passionate community (aah, NML’s community... those coo coo folks kept me playing the game for all these years... 😁), things get better, because these players really know what they are talking about (they not only play the game... they are good in it)... But something went really wrong with this last update (please, tell me that “many more to come” wasn’t those last changes! 🥺 They are just... awful... not only the confusing and unnecessary new status symbol ((Good Lord, what was that? And the scouts with the spear was a joke, right? We did laugh... to not cry)), but the Last Stand too... so boring), and you guys need to talk with the community (like really get the feedback and not only held it in very high regard, but apply! Hope the fixes come fast 🤞🏼... we really like NML, you have a loyal group of people here...
This has got to be one of the most bizarre updates in the game's history.
Something no one was asking to be changed is completely overhauled and single handedly unites the entire forum against it. That's how bad it is.
It goes beyond the icons though. The new visual layout is horrible, navigating the in game menus is slow and laggy with all the animations slowed down.
Filtering in the survivors screen doesn't appear to work. How can I select all heroes by class? If I click heroes it deselects the class filter, if I select a class filter it deselects the heroes filter.

Well, that part wasn't changed with the update. It was like that before the update as well. Unlocked heroes are included when you filter by class, though.
For this matter, if there is still silence, no answer given, and no positive change, the game gradually loses old players, new players can't enjoy it either, for the game that make them lose time. I really love The Walking Dead universe, as well as this No Man's Land game, but I'm willing to put an end to it because of this update. I am really annoyed and hate the last update, not only me and many others in this community. The first to leave will be me and the small group of 4 peoples who have been with me, until the problem is solved or will be decided to leave permanently if the game continues this way. "Symbols, slowness animation of this update is bad and takes me a lot of time for it"
The most urgent is the rebooting loops players keep getting stuck in.
Second would be the horrible... HORRIBLE status icons.
Unfortunately I think they have their hands full with the first one and other bugs. Priority will be squashing those before we get our lovely icons back and I think

Biggest priority is this ridiculous Scout bug. Should have ALREADY been fixed by now, in a small update, in my opinion, but….. We head into GW with Looney Tunes scouts….. NG has already proven they don’t give a rat’s furry bottom about anything, if it don’t affect them directly.
it looks like there are more urgent issues that need to be fixed
Thank you. Now I fully understand where NG’s priorities are focused. I will leave the forums now.
I agree. If @Lexia or @Fluxxx had made 1 single public statement acknowledging the need to rollback some stuff that would've been enough.
I listened to players tell me all week in my chats how merciless and honest the feed back was for this update. I felt I didn't have to waste my time giving all the necessary feedback. But I see 3 pages of agreement and no public comment from NG. I'm not interested in playing anymore. Not like I was.
I CAN'T SEE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THE SCREEN!!!
I give up. They win. They REALLY ruined the game this time and I'm done with this forum silence. I'm not giving anymore advice or feedback or trying to help.
it looks like there are more urgent issues that need to be fixed
With the new update icons , the game can t be played anymore in any mode.This is supposed to be the top priority.Many people, including myself are in the game for GW. I m not sure you all understand the magnitude of this failed update you did.
The last stand is not a top priority or at best in 2nd.
The fact , your priority is not to fix the icons with so many upset people (many of them did not write here) is very worrying. @Fluxxx@zbot @Lexia

There are some players locked in a glitch caused by last stand where their game resets over and over. Therefore meaning they can't play the game full stop. That is clearly top priority, whilst the new icons are tougher to see and a nightmare at least we can still play the game.
I agree that players froze out of the game is top most priority.
As for the rest...
I like to spend and buy cool bundles pretty regularly, but right now, I'm very VERY keeping that wallet closed.
It's not a threat, or pouting, or anger, I just can't see spending money on a beautiful ship that is suddenly full of so many holes and sinking quickly. It makes me sad.

Those are two parallel problems that need to be solved. I bet people can't adapt to what NG has done, at least can wait to see the final results from they, because at the moment I'm not sure what they will do. Their answer to this is that there will be a patch in the near future, but I don't know what they are focused on, I still don't see a clear answer to what people are asking, instead it's a generic answer meant to appease everyone anger. If I have to adapt to the last update, then stop the game is the right choice for me, although I love this game, I can't accept the bad things that bad in the game (new status symbols and animation holding spear moving is a nightmare), I don't think I will waste time on how slowness the game is right now.
Remember that game glitch are inevitable, and no one wants, and willing to sympathize. But, in the bad update this time, it's their choice, tweaking things that are already stable and no one is complaining about it, that's how they innovate, and the result they ruined the game. Right now, they still have the choice, listen to the community and fix them, or not.
I made a comment on this thread on the first day and really I was finding the update horrible, now after a few days of playing it feels like I'm still on the first day. hahahaha
My apologies for the late response on this thread. As some have mentioned previously, we're prioritizing game-breaking issues in the game such as reload loops that prevent players from playing, or the damage bug that causes some survivors to deal lower damage after being stuck in a reload loop.
Due to the fact that the status symbols are a mostly visual matter (though of course, we've seen your feedback that it also slows down play and makes the understanding of the game harder), I hope you can understand why we would choose to focus on bugs that compromise the function of the game instead. With that said, we do hear your feedback and we will do our best to address it after the Season 11 update.
For beginners and more intermediate players, the visual effects are meant to improve understanding of what's going on - but at those levels you're also rarely up against big swarms of walkers, and rarely inflicting multiple status effects. I understand that at your level of play and understanding of the game, this feels very frustrating, but it would be truly helpful if you would be able to provide screenshots/gifs/recordings of instances where you find that the visual indicators are ruining your experience.

I agree, but think the update was so ill received that the Devs are hesitant to respond.
P.S. punish icon is missing, it shows only text

Since it affects not only Last Stand but all game modes, it could very much fall under "more urgent" category.

GW still continuing. And now these things still exist, nothing has happened yet. Waiting for a result, getting bored, giving up.
