As I have almost finished doing the all the heroics for all my orange based characters.

It's been mentioned that they will carry over, the Buha and Lou vid on FGTV mentioned it I'm sure.

News to me if Activision has confirmed no heroics...sources please folks?

If no heroics, what's the mechanism? I've been asking about this for months and now folks are casually mentioning this like it's old news.

So then only the swap landers can get updated stats? This makes no sense.

ur correct it dont make sense... maybe it was for all... but only seen the swap zones yet..

Basically, there are these things called bonus missions in Swap-Force that replace Heroic Challenges, and for good reason. None of the heroic challenges were mad for jumping, so they just made something different. The way you get them is by completing Swap-Force zones. Make sense?

and it is only the swappers allowed in them swap zones.... but the question is where you upgrade the newlanders etc?..

Yes, the Swappers are only allowed in the Swap-Force zones. But once you finish the zone, and you get the mission, it is unlocked in the hub world, Woodburrow.

thats news to me.....

Most likely, yes - though I have a feeling that (whilst there will be no more HC's) the stat boost will come from the missions unlocked after completing a Swap Force Zone. Or, they've just got hats with massive stat boosts (as seen in various game play videos) to compensate for the lack of HC's.

In Winter's Keep, the Ice Crown gives a +30 Defense boost. Talk about massive.

That's exactly what I mean. I suppose it's to make the SSA and Giants hats look like crap, so you go out and buy the extra toys to enter the elemental zones and collect the hats.

I really hope whatever will replace heroic challenges won't take any player about an one or two to make their figures stronger and faster.

OK, so you're saying completing the swap-force zone unlocks a mission which can be accessed by ALL skylanders and is how we upgrade skylanders in this game? Do you have any source from Activision that discusses this?

I remember Missions being discussed during E3; just didn't connect that it was in fact the replacement for Heroics and it is unlocked through the swap force zones.

I remember hearing about the extra missions replacing the heroics in the e3 vids but i can remember which ones

Well, I remember it was being discussed at E3. Guha Bala said there would be 2o Bonus Missions replacing the Heroic Challenges. The way you could unlock them was through Swap- Force Zones. That is about it, I believe.

anyone found the video?...

I think the stats will carry over because they are on the figures arent they?

all the stats get saved on the chip inside the figure....... so they will be carry over.

I meant if the game checks level/heroics and accords stats accordingly but yeah

leves and upgrade stats, yes.... but heroics and accolades i dont think...

The figure only stores that the heroic is completed. The game works out the stats based on that information. Do you think they will adjust the stats like they did in giants?

The assumption here is that they are using that data. There's nothing preventing Activision from using a hybrid design whereby it calculates information stored on the figure AND some other save-data information. I have a sneaking suspicion that their data model for the figure isn't flexible, or they may feel "pigeonholed" in some way. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
