[ZS] Daily Missions and Loot Cases Walkthrough

Hey all,

Today we’re going to be releasing the new Daily Missions feature on Zombie Slayer only (it's out on Pirate Clan as well, but not VC or LCN right now).

This will come to VC and LCN games soon, but if you’re here from another game feel free to make a character on Zombie Slayer and fight back the hordes.

Daily Missions are designed to give you additional tasks to do with a sweet reward at the end! You’ll get three Missions (of a maximum of three at a time) to do and these are randomly selected from a few categories. You can be sending Gifts, doing Outbreaks, or even partaking in some light PvP.

You have as long as you like to finish each quest, so don’t worry about feeling rushed! Once you complete a Mission, another will show up in your log the next day (Pacific time). You can re-roll one of your Missions if it’s not to your liking, but you can only do this once per day.

You can find your current list of Missions in the UN section when this feature is live. You’ll also see a heading called “Loot Cases”, but we’ll get there in a second.



Clicking on that link will take you to the following page:



As you can see I have a smattering of Missions to do from attacking a Co-op Boss, to assisting with Challenges. If I don’t want to do one of these Missions, I can click the dice symbol on the left to re-roll one of them. Clicking “Do Quest” on the right will drop you on the appropriate page for completing said task. Once you’ve completed a Quest, you’ll see this screen.



Note that I've been awarded with a Loot Cases! Let’s click the "view Loot Cases" button to go to the Loot Cases page and check that out.



When you complete a Daily Quest, you will be rewarded with either a free Loot Case or a Lottery ticket (most Mission reward Loot Cases, there’s one in particular that gives you a Lottery ticket). What’s in a Loot Case? Well I’ll leave that as a surprise, but it contains everything from Energy and Cash to a couple rewards you can’t find anywhere else. Your Loot Case also has a chance to be upgraded to a level two Case, or you can pay 15 UN to do so.

That’s all there is to it! Once we turn this on, try out some Missions, open some Loot Cases and let us know what you think!

 

Are you going to add better loot ? Most of the loot don't help us bigger slayers.

 

We can definitely adjust the loot table; we're looking at adding Destructives to it at the moment but if you have any suggestions I can pass them along.

 

Will there be UNC in the loot boxes?

 

UN Credits are in the loot table already.

 

Mitch when I got the visit the lottery page it did the same thing as it did in PC - you go but you never get the crate - I saw in the LC that a couple of others said the same thing

 

Me2.

I sent in a ticket. I am wondering if it will pop tomorrow when I hit the next days lottery? Like it's showing you've completed your part but it doesn't drop the actual crate until it's part completes?

Either way the popups need to change some how. I can't see my lottery ticket! ROFL.

Anyway, ticket sent in if it helps.

 

yes. I received some.

 

You will receive a ticket for the next Draw when you complete the "Visit the Lottery" Mission, not a Loot Case. So if that is your first visit to the Lottery page for the day you should have 2 tickets:

1. Your free Daily ticket (that you always get)
   
2. The ticket paid out by the UN Mission

There will be a "History" added to the Missions similar to what the Loot Cases have which will better communicate what got paid out for each Mission completed. Once this is is live you'll see that some missions (currently just the 'Visit the Lottery') do not pay out a Loot Chest hence why it is "missing"

 

1851 Navy (Level 4) 269 Attack 9 Defense Owned: 400
Dual Daggers (Level 4) 269 Attack 9 Defense Owned: 933
Tundra Goggles (Level 4) 269 Attack 9 Defense Owned: 474

etc etc etc. (4 pages worth)

Good for newbies not so good for us elephants

Sounds like you covered a lot of the items available currently within the game. If you want to expand you could add complete this many and receive an extra hired squad (that counts for fighting) for say 24 hours or 2 points limited time extra health/attack/def or 12 hour 1/2 cost EXP loss when dying, or Collect this many Keys and receive a slot to upgrade 1 item to a level 5.

 

Could we look into changing the verbage then? I'm pretty sure it said You've received 1 yellow loot case. If it's a ticket it should say so on the pop up?

 

Maybe complete 10 missions and you are entered into a monthly drawing. Then have the drawing be a free user designed item? or 10 un or such.

 

I got the Looter Hatchet 551 attack 297 defense, a cash boost, & energy boost spread out among my 3 cases. The rest of the items are unusable in my inventory, but would be useful for lower levels. tyvm for the free stuff, greatly appreciated!

 

so let me get this straight, we get one a day but if you do that one, the others get a new respawn time? so the only way we get more than one is to not do the first one so the second one will spawn? and same with the one thats 3 days out? Mitch, why dont the timers on the second and third cases remain in play even if you get the first one, it shouldnt reward you with more cases for NOT PLAYING.
COME ON, get with the program, you want us to play or not? the missions is a nice addition, but not playing to get the second and third ones to spawn is lame, lame, lame

 

The timers still count down regardless, because you’re right, making you not play to get a quest doesn’t make sense . If that’s not the case then that’s a bug and I’ll look into it.

 

I would suggest adding some rare loot. I am not speaking for everyone but destructives are not an incentive to upgrade loot crates.

On another note how about making one of the Daily Missions join Battle Arena we need new life in BA. There is never over 500 players even join anymore.

 

This is what it looks like when you earn a Lottery ticket. There is a link to your Loot Cases but the award is a Lottery Ticket.

 

my first loot chest disappeared on me. HEre's shots of my history and missions

 

If you click on the "View My Loot Cases" button, that is where you'll find your Mission earnings.

 

if you do the one day mission, the timers reset on the 2 day and 3 day back to full, so its pointless to have a second and third mission, you will never be able to do more than an average of one per day. im pretty sure thats not how it was designed, also, on the 2 day and 3 day mission, the prizes should be better in those since we have to wait so long to be able to do them, that is if you dont do the one a day missions so you actually spawn them again.......

one more thing, if you pay to upgrade (15 UN) then there better be something better than the level 1 case, which is not the case, i did it once, shame on you, i will never do it twice (that would be shame on me)

can you hear me now? i paid 15 un for worse items and a fairly worthless lottery ticket, come on mitch, thats so lame
what are you trying to do to us, make it worth our while to spend the UN, not take it in the azz

this is probably a novel concept, but maybe you should try it out before you put it in the game, that way your clientele wont feel like they are getting pooched at every turn
