Let’s begin!

ATLAS-Z · June 2022

Video mentioned Michonne and "Charge points"... I clarified with staff that it was meant "action points"

Carl_Tyreese999 · June 2022

A lot to unpack here...

I'm really excited about Hershel, I think his leader trait looks great and weaken is a good way to possibly get melee back in the mix. As far as Tyreese goes, I think he should've been a scout and he's just gonna turn into another Beth but we'll see.

The Michonne reskin looks awesome and so does the scoped crossbow. I'm interested to see if the crossbow becomes a great weapon or another benchwarmer like the pulverizer but I'm hopeful.

I'm also curious to see if the new support acts as a pile of gore where you can't attack or if you can attack and still be cloaked.

These are just some of my initial thoughts after watching the sneak peek

JordanYuki · June 2022

I’m thinking Tyreese will be way better than Beth since warriors are easier to charge and the damage will be far greater since all walkers standing in the debuff area will take a % of total health like fire damage.

Another Idea for Beth would be to let her benefit from her buff when she activates it with her Charge Attack. Like how melee will immediately benefit from weakening when inflicting the status effect.

Bamster · June 2022

I don't get the scoped crossbow. Seems to be a down graded version of the Winter Harpoon, cripple instead of root and one less space on the charge attack. It is scoped logic would seems to say it should have greater range not less? What am I missing?

euchid · June 2022

The scoped crossbow is silent like the harpoon, charged attack has shorter range than the harpoon but cripples "all the enemys?" ALL ???

ShadowWalker · June 2022

Some good stuff, however I can't help but think that maybe the new LTs should've been switched.

There are ranged Heroes, Rosita and Alpha, that can already attack and get a movement without killing, but there are no melee Heroes that can do that. Tyrese with "Good Enough" could've been that hero. Also since ranged attacks get no benefit from attacking weakened enemies it just doesn't make that much sense on Hershel.

"Made to Suffer" would've been better on a ranged Hero (but can affect Melee and Ranged teammates), because you would have more control of which enemy you want to inflict the debuff zone on.

I'm sure both Heroes will still be good, I just think this way would've made a little more sense.

Agreed. I think I would prefer a Charge attack with unlimited range (like Starbound) and Cripples all targets, it wouldn't have to be a bonus attack in this case.

Edit:

You know what, I think if one of the traits for the Scoped Crossbow is Ensnare then that would be interesting. A silent weapon that can pin enemies on regular attacks can be a great way to support melee survivors. I think this would put it ahead of the Winter Harpoon, because you will likely root at least one target and then cripple everyone else you hit with the charge attack.

ATLAS-Z · June 2022

It will be interesting to see if and where anyone makes room for Weakening (Trait)

There's a lot of good traits or there now so it gets harder to choose. Which is a good thing IMO.

(I always hated it in the scout Rick days when all players had the same traits across-the-board)

Does anything jump out to you as an early contender for who/where to try this out first?

I can’t decide if I think it’s for scouts to set bruiser/warriors up for stunning. Or if it’s for bruiser/warriors to set scouts up for max damage

JordanYuki · June 2022

It’s also interesting because all melee benefits from the weakened debuff regardless of who inflicted it. So you don’t want weakening on all your melee heroes. I’m thinking both Perseverance and Weakening on Tyreese and Beth to help keep their leader traits active. Weakening on Carol since it synergizes well with her LT. And for the rest of the melee heroes it comes down to your own preferences.

Honestly I'll probably use my regular survivors before I switch out any Heroes same as i did with Perseverance. But off the top of my head I'll probably end up putting it on Ezekiel. He doesn't need power to be super useful. Some bruisers also for Dodge.

I hadn’t thought of doing this. Thanks, I reckon I’ll do this too

BenjaminT · June 2022

Any guesses on the traits for the first edition of the Scoped Crossbow?

Mine is Silver Large Caliber, Gold Destructive and Gold Piercing

ATLAS-Z · June 2022

Hmmm lets guesss...

Silver piercing
Gold Accurate
Gold point blank shot

🤢 Lol

ShadowWalker · June 2022

I'm going with:

Gold Piercing
Gold Ensnare
Silver Wide Bore/Lucky

My reasoning why is in my last post above. Also it would be great for GC.

BenjaminT · June 2022

Deffo wide bore, you can see it in the video

ATLAS-Z · June 2022

I'm joking fyi

MrLucky · June 2022

Still didn't rework the face of the game. SMH.

MrLucky · June 2022

DARYL TURNS HIS BACK ON YOU NEXT GAMES.

Just let me swap skins on my 2 Daryl's and I'll be good to go

Governator · June 2022

I hope the Origins II missions include Abe and the Governor so we can use the 1-gas missions to clear the daily quests where we need to use them. That's been a huge oversight in game play IMO. They even put the Governor on the "cover" of the Welcome to Woodbury "highlights" season, yet he's no where to be seen in the missions.

As for Rufus, we'll always curse him when the daily quest comes up and we have to use him. I'll take him on 2-gas Outpost raids along with Abe and the Governor when their turn comes up.

find2046 · June 2022

Those no tactical melee weapons will be active, like chainsaw

Especially the first time the Prison was attacked by Woodbury!!! That for sure should have been included as a mission where he was playable!!!!

liorsalman · June 2022

Finally!I love it

MudMoccasin · June 2022

^^^^^^Trusty Farmhand in action!!!!

Hope this will mean that an Infused version will be forthcoming!!!!

Novell · July 2022

Hershel's LT - good enough:

- chance of gaining a charge point is missing in patch notes

Weakening:

- turns and chance of gaining a charge point is always 1 / 75%. So you can write it down in trait description

Lexia · July 2022

Thank you @Novell!

- Hershel LT and the charge point % - it's the status effect not the LT per se, and you can see that info later on in the info for the status effect Weakened
- Weakening values - both changeable values, but will show in-game with the exact info

soulburn · July 2022

Sounds like very decent update. Let's hope also for being bug-free

Hero outfits is really cool feature which hasn't been used as it could be so far.

WhereisHeath · July 2022

Hooded Michonne looks so badass 😍

We need more skins 🙏
Especially for Series Finale update in October. Remaining characters like Aaron, Eugene, Rosita, Daryl, Negan and Ezekiel needs a fresh look.

Also I made this Origin 2 Sasha skin when she was introduced with Tyresse 👍

MudMoccasin · July 2022

^^^^^Cannot say enough how much I love Sasha's high volume hair!!!!! @WhereisHeath , you are profoundly AWESOME to say the least!!!!!

Now if only we can get Shane's King County Sheriff Department uniform....
