No radios in 48 hours! Wtf is going on

arrowsparrow · July 2016

Why are there no radios, nothing, not 1 from 10000 trade goods, not a sniff on the weekly event or a single one from those biters at the gate.

Ovidmikel · July 2016

@arrowsparrow. I feel your pain bro . But fyi I actually found 15 today with 0 $ so there still there. Hopefully your bad streak will end.good luck

tallinie · July 2016

Yeah you can still get phones free from walkers at the wall at least. Probably not as many as we were already used to. In trade goods or mission rewards I dont even want to see gold or phones.

same here, 1 radio this last 3 days. gg NG lower the radio drop rate to make ppl buy radio??
sorry but im not spending any more $$ from now on for the damn radio.

Rapax · July 2016

Few days ago I purchased the 24h gas refill booster. I've played more the 200 exploration missions alternating tomatoes and XP missions. Here is what I got:
-) About 1.7 M of Tomatoes
-) About 1.5 M of XP
-) 14 radio calls!!!

Yes, only 14 radio calls after playing more the 200 times....
Something got wrong with that. Anyway, I suggested to NG to give us a weekend event like: "increased chance of radio calls!!!"

I forgot to say I am a 48 level player with 17 level survivor.

Fourthstorm · July 2016

I do a lot of challenge fights. Plenty of radio drops there.

@Shadowkeeper

Is it really just a "lucky streak" or "unlucky streak" when it comes to Radios?

As I said in the other post..

1 Radio Sunday & 2 on Monday (don't remember before that cause I wasn't really paying attention)

I know & don't expect 100s of Radios a day lol but....

Is it possible I will log on tomorrow, for instance, & get 10 Radios?

Thanks for your time

Amiga · July 2016

Bad luck. I got few radios every day... Welcome to RNG world

hiplnsdrftr · July 2016

There was a stretch when I seemed to not be getting radios, lately I'm getting what i think is an OK amount... I think they do alter the flow occasionally, just my hunch.

Deuces · July 2016

I've gotten 8 radios in the last hour from crates in the challenge missions and wall walkers. Go figure.

mongo911 · July 2016

If ya pizzoff some software folks, well...

they give ya a " cookie ", that reduces some things, and increases some things...

Small sub-routine in the code... Kinda elegant...

And so devious...

TroubleMan · July 2016

You know...I think you can buy a radio bundle if you're not getting enough....

In fact I'm pretty sure there are at least 4 different radio types available now. Funny how the drop in radios coincides with the increase in bundles!

Wait a second...do you think they are related? Naaaaaaaah...

TheLostOnes · July 2016

I think it varies a lot with radios. Good days, bad days, good weeks, bad weeks.

Try to toll a die 1,000 times (if you have a few hours to spare).

There will be times when there will be huge gaps between any 6's. Then you may get a stretch with 10 6's out of 20 rolls all of a sudden.

But once done, you will have rolled very, very close to 167 6's.

And the tricky part is depending on your mood and on the order of your lucky/unlucky stretches, you may FEEL as though you hardly had any 6's or, perhaps, feel you had very many.

NG has screwed up on many fronts lately but I don't believe in RNG conspiracies or micro tweaking of drop rates. It's much easier for them to screw with us by overcharging for radio bundles etc.

Shadowkeeper · July 2016

@TheLostOnes

You're right, when it's a case of probabilities, you can have bad times and then good times. Drop rates haven't been changed in the last update, and we're far to busy for any kind of conspiracies.

Conan1976 · July 2016

I counted them. More than 260 radio's this month. 3 gas boosters used. Drop ratels seem ok to me

kennyszeto · July 2016

but the drop rate had been changed on v1.10 rite? lol

@Teeceezy @Shadowkeeper What's the story behind very few if any radio's since 2.0? Some will say it's just me but many others are noticing the same thing.

We'll look in to this - there shouldn't have been any changes to drop rates with the latest update.

because both of you used the same statement 'no change in the last update', does this mean you lowered drop chance in the second to last update?

@Shadowkeeper @Teeceezy

BadLuckChuck · July 2016

Just got this once in a lifetime find a few hours ago. I'd love to argue about how rare radios are, but tonight shut me up. Luck of the draw.

@Shadowkeeper @Teeceezy

This is exactly what I noticed...since the first introduction of the token system, the radio rate discreased heavily...

SlowMo · July 2016

I tend to agree to the RNG good time bad time thingy. I have bad day like 3 drop, but also good day like 20+. As much as NG screws up other aspect of the game, I fairly concluded to myself that there isn't a radio drop conspiracy. Still, radio price is crazy.

Necroboogie · July 2016

Probably too soon but... it's probably just a visual error

CanadianMike · July 2016

I criticise NG a lot and in a very sarcastic and mean way pretty often. But I must admit that concerning radios, I didn't notice any decrease in drops before I quit. I got 5-6 radios a day, mostly from wall walkers, sometimes from chests. No gas boost, just logging in 3-4 times a day and playing some missions or challenges.

meanbird · July 2016

You'll have good streaks and bad streaks.

It took me from Thurs-Sun to find 15 radios. Then I found 15 more by Monday night. Since then I've found 2, both this morning.

Rapax · August 2016

I've to apologize to NG. I've got probably more than 40 radio calls in the last 72 hours as a reward from crates and walkers outside the camp! That was really nice

Fester17 · August 2016

Here's my one-time only screenshot:

Heisenberg · August 2016

I find that drop rates from walkers and crates is cyclical, some days/weeks I find more supplies and limited XP and phones, other days/weeks I find more XP and phones than supplies. I was in major phone phase for a couple days, but now the last couple of days not as many phones, but more XP.
But I know eventually the tide will turn the other way....
