    There will be a council update so we shall be back to upgrading our gear and survivors again. That would be too much as it doesn't add too much to the game value

    My bad, thought a council update was on the way. Watched the video again and thanks there is no council update this time.

    We need a round number. Level "29" has been triggering my OCD badly.

    Any clue as to the traits on new weapons? And if the upcoming update has these weapons (As well as Decimator) making that Grenade Launcher,  "Thoomp," sound instead of that annoying Crossbow/Harpoon sound it currently has?

    To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed by this new coming campaign. 
    Nothing for bruiser, scout or warrior in this update? We keep boosting Shooter, Assault and Shooter but they have already the best team with SPY and SMY. We add again more powerful weapons to make them stronger? Bruisers are the worst class of the moment and there is nothing for helping them in this new update> 
    2 questions :
    Why make a pass for level 30 council only? It means only end players will benefit this add and they are more likely the ones who need the less the extra-bonus it brings? 
    Will the badge sorting improvement will look the same as for wepaons ( we can switch badge directly from on character to another)? 
    Thanks,

    The pass unlocks at council level 13 and also last campaign we got Mercer’s Axe and the Riot Shield 2 really good weapons for Bruisers & Scouts.

    This is how the game has always been, it alternates between Ranged and Melee classes being the most op. With that being said I think they did a good job with Mercer's Axe and the Riot Shield. Both of those weapons are game changers. While I still think Melee may need another buff, I'm not upset about these ranged upgrades cause these weapons are awesome. As far as the paid pass goes, it starts at Council lvl 13 so I'd say that's plenty low for the newer players to take advantage of. Also there's no way bruisers are the worst class rn, that title 100% has to go to warriors.

    I disagree with your last sentence Carl, warriors with Ezekiel LT have been greatly buffed! Only bruisers still cant avoid a hit by fatty with Ezekiel LT. Warriors have morning star and scout Mercers axe

    How much money will it cost to keep up? This pass thing is the same as another game I play. It consists of 21 objectives at $5 a pop. That’s $105 every time it’s ran. This is a serious problem. I already give you $15 every campaign because it’s not possible to complete without gold. 4 times a year $60 lol not to mention bundles from the shop at $15 to $25 about 4 times a year. Another $60. Now you want a monthly bill?

    @jamesW or, and hear me out, I know its a *CRAZY* idea, but, you could just not buy the imaginary things... its not like your purchases have any value whatsoever outside of the game...

    Those who can spend within their means are absolutely welcome to do so. Those who don't have disposable coin, who complain about too many things in game costing too much money, can voluntarily choose not to spend the money, and be better off IRL for it.

    No one has a gun to your head demanding you spring for the season pass rewards.. i think it's cool that its an option, and even cooler that there is an available no-money track as well. That suits many players.

    You Right, I missed JordanYuki response but Riot Shield is really less stronger than Mercer axe or morning star. What Can you do against a fatty as a bruisers? Nothing...

    I know nobody is forcing me to pay. Totally see it coming down to who can and who can’t. This will start separating communities that have been together since day one.  That’s really going to suck. You all can say what you want now but when it becomes reality it will be a different story

    I’ve been here since amc said download now. Once I get separated from my group due to not being able to keep up then what? Start all over with all new people? I’ll quit first

    Really? I could name 3 warriors I find more useful than the most useful bruiser right now.

    Phalanx 44 I agree you don’t have to spend money but James is right I too can see a separation starting in the game with this upgrade. Most top guild(s) players spend money on the game to stay competitive and not let there guild mates down. I understand there is a path for players who don’t spend money but it’s not the same as players who don’t hesitate to drop coin on bundles etc. in the past NG strived for a balance in the game now I see an active step away from that practice.

    You can already buy bundles with weapons, tools, gold, radios, etc.. Season passes will offer a weapon, tools, gold, radios etc.. Same thing! Except season passes, in every game I’ve played, are usually more affordable because you have to play to unlock all the rewards. What exactly do you think will cause separations in the communities? Why wouldn’t you be able to keep up if you don’t get a season pass? What do you think is the difference between buying a bundle or buying a season pass?

    I mean this as politely as possible. The only thing which jumped out at me is that colorful sleeve on Fluxxx. That update video fell flat. Nifty production as always but the game content aspect appears underwhelming.

    @mousetrap1 @jamesW

    Just to clarify, I'm not saying there isn't a superficial advantage in paying for rewards otherwise unavailable to the masses, and clearly there is a fast track to be gained by paying for certain bundles (and now maybe this season pass), but it isn't purely necessary to succeed.

    There isn't a hard pay wall that absolutely divides the community.

    There are many many players who complete the Challenge every week with characters half as developed as those belonging to the whales.

    The Distance, even on Nightmare, is plausible to complete every week without the specific need for pay-exclusive weapons.

    The Last Stand is dominated by those with TIME, not MONEY.

    And GW can be tackled with strategy and know-how. (Plus, that game mode relies on good partners pulling their weight too. Single player success isn't generally enough to garner a Team win.)

    Ultimately though, paying for anything in the game remains a voluntary option, not a mandatory course to be able to play along. And if you feel like the expenses are too daunting to "keep up with", you CAN stop. It won't critically end the advancements you can make in the game. (This comes from a player with absolutley minimal spending practices, and I feel I am no worse off for it.)

    TLDR; money may fast track progress, but strategy and understanding of game mechanics are infinitely more beneficial.

    ALWAYS PLAY WITHIN YOUR MEANS

    If you can keep this to coming in as an AU$7.99 (US$5) price point I'm all for it. But if this will be a $20 a go idea then I'm way out of it. Microtransactions work on volume of people for small amounts. Games seem to have lost sight of that. You get more getting $2 from 1000 people than $1000 from 1 person.
