What??....would you be so kind as to show us this magnificient specimen of a survivor? I don't mind admitting I spent $2,000 US dollars just to try and pull a Legendary lvl 20 or 21 survivor even though I doubted it was possible...and I got nothing past 19.

(Please don't judge me, folks, lol)

You used to be able to get *uncommon* survivors that exceeded max level 20 as mission rewards doing nightmare.

This event is a follow up of the last 2. We got more XP last weekend so now the time for the survivors has come!

Stay Safe!

Did anyone official say 5 seconds? Didn't they actually say 5 second upgrades for equipment? For this one they said faster. Half time is faster. Just tossing this out there. It probably is 5 seconds, but making assumptions around here usually ends in hurt feelings.

SpacemanSpiff

Ok, forget I said anything, lol

Let's go back on topic on topic now

JVC_TWD

I understood "instant Survivor training prices are also reduced for this limited time only!" as using the all GOLD option. Not the gold you use to speed up the process after you use the XP

zoson

@lmfgunnut 5 seconds is mentioned in the official announcement made by @Teeceezy.

JVC_TWD

However, I'm assuming if the instant gold cost will be cheaper then the gold used to make up the remaining XP will also be cheaper (i.e. I'm short 100k XP so I can use gold to buy the remaining XP. That's what I'm assuming will be cheaper as well).

But we know how assumptions go lol

1st post here.....almost a useless weekend event for many. Include 3x item scrapping or hordes at the walls in order to get enough xp to use this 5 second training. Just my

@SpacemanSpiff
Did u say u spent $2000 ? WTH! That's a lot of money!

limeyjohn

@painwalker
Sorry but event is useless as everyone pretty much spent xp as they got them last week, only good if run alongside a xp event, not a week later

Annette578

@painwalker
AGREED !

@Lightfeet That's what I'm saying. "This is new." When we got the original announcement I did express to NG that people wouldn't have any xp saved up to take advantage of the fast upgrade times.

@zoson Thanks for looking out. I certainly don't have much XP.

The largest single level upgrade that I could currently do with one of my survivors is a level 16 to level 17 epic hunter. The current gold price to do that upgrade "instantly" is over 3000 bars! I don't even have that much gold. They would have to drop that cost by a factor of 100 before I would even consider paying for it with gold. Guess I'll scrape together as much XP as I can today.

The XP economy still needs to be fixed. But we all know that.

That sounds painful.

If it does not go away in four hours, seek medical attention

"instant Survivor training prices are also reduced for this limited time only!

When you pay for "instant" upgrades with gold (buildings, gear and survivors), no XP or tomatoes are deducted/needed.
I think this is what it's meant for, not for hurrying training.

I also think this event should come with some sort of XP bonus.
Triple XP scrapping maybe?

masmith93

I'm totally DTGATSE.

Ovidmikel

@masmith93 do you know if the only reduced price is for instant gold that don't seem right I read it and thought it meant all prices were reduced which would be pretty good because if it's only instant with gold only folks that buy gold will benefit I buy gold but I not sure I would do that ill I st use it for gas and opening boxes I got several to upgrade but it's not so pressing I would pay gold to do it

masmith93

@Ovidmikel I don't. The communication for the last event was poor, and many ppl did not know the double XP was also given in story missions. Hope we can get some clarification.

Dragonius

Pretty useless event for me. Should have double xp as well. Event should be something that is useful for the whole time.

Ovidmikel

@Dragonius I agree if it's only reduced price if you spend gold to instant upgrade it is definitely not very helpful I buy gold but damned if I'll use it to instant upgrade I ain't t that impatient lol @masmith93 yea when I read it last week I took it as the story missions didn't go e 2x I am stuck on 12 @ 13 until I get some weapons lvl up to tackle them with

theRealBender

Cool! I wonder where i'm going to get the XP for all these fast upgrades lol. Hopefully there's a part 2 to this event ...

...like part two of radio bundle event ))

Neil_J

Totally, utterly, completely fecking pointless event without a council upgrade.
Has anybody not upgraded all their survivors as far as they'll go?
No use to top level players whatsoever without any survivors that will upgrade any further!!!!!

lmfgunnut

@Neil_J how many survivors do you have? At 33, I don't think there is enough XP in the game to finish them all and equip with gear. Not that I use 33 or even 20.

You are probably playing wrong, that's all.

Pain Walker

@Ovidmikel The instant gold reduction is only for Survivor upgrades

Ovidmikel

@Pain Walker I know the upgrades us for survivors my ??? Can u only use gold for instant upgrades or can u use xp at a reduced cost also

masmith93

@Ovidmikel Zoson said earlier in this thread that there is no reduction in XP for upgrades.
