Not very happy with the total lack of communication on this one, seems to follow the pattern of an unannounced campaign recently as well. And abruptly shutting down a civilized discussion thread on it? Nice suppression, NG. We should be able to discuss changes to the game, after all, our input is valued, right?

@Agoatrodeo, I think a lot of elite players are in it at this point just to hit the leaderboard. That seems to be the complaint, the lack of differentiation. Who wants to slog when the ones who get there earlier dominate the board? Making it tactical again seems to be key to shaking up the same old, same old, leaderboard…

Lower level players tend to ignore the star hero in my experience, they pick their ‘go to’ heroes regardless. So two levels of challenge, the expert one with both a star hero and benched heroes would accommodate both levels and styles of play, I think.

@Agoatrodeo, thanks for being kind about my suggestion! That sounds like it would give the most choice to players of every level while providing extra difficulty for those who want it. However, wouldn’t elite players just choose the easier mode to get the most stars? Unless the star hero was also limited to the harder mode?

Please forgive me chiming in, since I am nowhere near an elite player, although I have been playing since 2016. I was wondering, would it be an idea for NG to randomly bench a hero player from each class for each challenge? Or if that is too much, maybe 3 heroes from different classes? The idea behind the star hero, I…

In addition, if there is a lower or mid level player who gets a special weapon, you would be virtually guaranteed they would be spending reinforcement tokens to take it with them, so it would surely help your bottom line, too.

They really need to overhaul the guild gift feature. Gifts should, IMO, be exclusively things of some potential value. Legendary weapons/armour, gold, components and they should throw a couple of phones and the occasional reinforcement/reroll token in there as well. Current gifts are just embarrassing to give and even…

No, I try to not get near them if at all possible as I know rooted walkers can get you in adjacent spaces. I took a clean shot from several spaces away using charge, and was astonished when there was no root. It has happened a few times, I was wondering if I was misunderstanding the charge root dynamic. I will try to get a…

Thanks for responding so quickly! Yes, it was a totally clear shot. Seems to be confined to metal heads as far as I can see.

I don’t understand either. Are you guys saying that there’s a map you’ve worked out like the last one where we can manipulate or control the badges we get?

Congrats, hiboy! I’m level 75 too, but a pretty casual player. A few good toons and weapons, but don’t have the time to pursue super high scores. I would be ecstatic with that score, so do those cartwheels!

Thanks, @zbot! They are not very productive members in the challenge, so maybe they are signing up for GW as a protection against being booted? 

I would add that GW participation is not mandatory in our casual (but full) guild, so I don’t know what they are playing at ( or rather, not playing). Neither one speaks in the chat, and I have previously asked all members not to sign up unless they know they will play.

Equipment scavenge jackpot

I think I may have found everyone else’s missing weapons...

I agree with @Artminius. I am pretty well versed in NML, but I simply didn’t realize different players saw the same maps at alternate levels. I thought everyone was seeing what I saw. It would be super helpful to have that clarified, and really help with planning for smaller guilds that have newer players.

@Fluxxx, thanks for the explanation! I can only see missions 27 and above on my maps, I wrongly assumed it was the same for all of my guild members. Thanks all.

@Fluxxx sorry, I put a gap

I was curious, so I just went and did about 10 gear scavenge missions. I got two silver and one gold, although I will say RNG has been unusually kind to me this event. Nothing in the way of good gear, but *shrug*

@mack22, you seriously only did 3 calls?? Buy a lottery ticket, dude. Now. Run, don’t walk.

Did probably 70 - 80 challenge missions yesterday and today, in a few sessions to maximize free unlocks. As I was using my booster, also ran about 40 gear scavenge missions, although that’s always a dead duck, I know. There seemed to be fewer than normal gold crates, a few more surfaced of course when my free unlocks per…

Agree! Thanks NG, I bought a few bundles and an xp booster and have some pretty awesome stuff upgraded ready for next challenge. It was really appreciated!

OK, thanks so much both of you! I guess I just read OLT’s statement wrong. I get overly paranoid sometimes with this game :-)

@jenng, can’t believe you remembered. Wine forever and always!!

Not a total fail, at least I got an @Jenng meme for my stupidity! Apparently I can’t differentiate between long pointy things, and that’s why I should be on no one’s team for the zombie apocalypse :-)

God, I’m such a dumbass. You’re right, I equipped Rick with the musket to try it out after a few wines last night and forgot to remove it. I thought it was the spear because he usually has that. Thanks for helping out a dumbass, everyone, much appreciated!

Thanks so much! I am back in now @Fluxxx

I made the mistake of popping over to run a few Beach missions for radios, and of course, first round, my first gold jackpot. I’m level 70 and maxed on tomatoes ☹️ I only paid the 15 gold for the last three out of morbid curiosity...

There absolutely needs to be a compensation bundle for this. Just providing us with the resources to work extra hard to get back to where we were is not compensation. I propose a free bundle with a choice of 3 legendary weapons (such as Rosita’s concussion rifle, pitchfork or winter bow, we can choose 1 of 3), plus some…

I propose a compensation bundle as follows: free legendary weapon (one choice of 3, such as Rosita’s concussion rifle, Carol’s Pitchfork or Winter Bow) to provide something worthwhile to use the xp on, plus some gold. A Radioactive event until the end of the challenge to make the second round of soul-destroying grind worth…
