Weekend Event- Double XP and 5 sec equipment upgrade time

General_Pain

Hi guys sorry for the confusion but seems like NG added something new and we just got the info.

At this point I thought it was futile to make another video so I will just type it here:

Weekend event July 29th

Old One

Double XP from all kills in any mission+ 5 second equipment upgrade time

New one


Double XP from all the kills, mission rewards, crates, walkers at the wall AND 5 sec equipment upgrade time.

The double XP booster will be removed from the shop however if you purchase the XP booster beforehand it will stack up!

The event starts on Friday at 7 AM UTC and ends on Monday at 7 AM UTC

Now it's the time to upgrade those weapons/armor

Happy Farming!

Thanks for the latest update @painclasher

SlowMo

Now that's what I call an EVENT! But please include 2xp for equipment scrap!

Amiga

When exactly boosters will be removed?
@painclasher could you ask NG?

General_Pain

@Amiga My guess is tomorrow when the event begins. The Gas booster will stay

Revenant

oohhh nice

Radio phones for every kill and tokens from walkers at the wall.

WalkerBiterWhatever

What a BANG BANG event!!!!
Nice combination, extra XP for fast EQ upgrade

Necroboogie

This reminds me of a story about some intrepid survivors going to their grandma's house and encountering a GREEDY WOLF...
Wow what a great event to be had...
ALL the better to get you to open your wallet my dear.
Wow and what great timing they have....
ALL the better to get you to break your vow my dear.

STAY STRONG and and don't fall for an obvious ploy, a couple days of fast cheap exp versus the state of the game for quite a while to come. Keep those purse strings tight and reap the greater benefits down the road.

Don't get distracted by the sparkly thing in the toxic lake people , this is them testing our resolve .. upgrade as much gear as you like , it doesn't make these problems go away ... we speak loudest with our wallets even though we are trying to create dialogue and unify. #walletstillclosed

Maybe they will sweeten it even more during the day. Come on NG, show us your love, add the herd!

THIS IS JUST A SCAM TO TRY AND PLACATE US ALL, FOR THE FAIRLY ATROCIOUS, UPGRADE 2.0. AND NG WONT GIVE US ANYTHING MORE, SO KEEP DREAMING. MAYBE THEY WILL GIVE MORE EVENTUALLY, BUT DEFINITELY NOT FOR NOW, I THINK

Nice event but I am still not purchasing any boosters or spending $$ with NG

TheLostOnes

Yes, let's give credit where credit is due -- it's important that we stay level-headed so our criticism of NG may be taken seriously:

1) This is a very nice weekend event, thanks NG! Clearly they are doing this as a sign of good will.

2) This does not fix the problems created recently so the money boycott continues for now.

Steeboon

Imagine the next update coming out with new council level after the event, rendering all your gear upgrades useless again
Jokes aside, great event! It has been Long overdue, finally able to clear my hoards of green gear from the inventory.

This is a very useful weekend event, one which will undoubtedly help the players, but ultimately, it's not going to placate what is, and rightfully so, a damaged community. RETURN OUR WEAPON STATS - many of us have forked out real world cash to upgrade and you have effectively STOLEN that cash by nerfing the weapon statistics. You cannot do this - it's tantamount to theft. What difference it makes to NG, I don't know and don't care - FIX THIS ISSUE.

It´s one of the better events for sure. But in between the bullshit events there were the nice ones all the time. Last weeks event was bullshit...so it´s pretty usual, that a nice one follows

Just from that I´m not seeing a good will after all...

Don't buy gas boosters, just do entry point outpost raiding. Only 2 gas and a lots of fatties who will give a lot of XP.

dachsurfer

nice event. Still boycotting any purchases and not watching any ingame videos. And no boosters even if you want to trick us with a possible x4-XP with booster.

DLich

My thoughts on this event is it's a step in the right direction and a show of good faith by NG. This event by far has to be the least profitable of all for them!!!

I understand there is a spending freeze going on within the community, but threads like @PimpOfTheDead http://forums.nextgames.com/walkingdead/discussion/12518/used-1st-xp-boost-ever-just-wanted-to-share
show just how easy it is to burn gold when bottle necked.

For a brief example $3 xp booster & 7000 Gold ($50-$70) would not need to be purchased this weekend to reap the same benefits. In my opinion this is a show of good faith.

Good idea @JackBauer

JayZ

I'd like to think that I had something to do with this weekend's event.

Just kidding.

In all honesty though, I am glad that NG seems to be taking a step in the right direction. Maybe if we complain enough, we'll get a radio event (epic/legendary, not the other crap they've had recently) paired with double tokens from rejecting survivors

LadyAquila

I like the event. It's one of their better ones, especially IF we get double XP from scrap, but it sounds like that is still undetermined. I like the idea of raiding the front end of Outposts like @JackBauer said. That sounds like it could be a good return on 2 gas.

Thanks NG for a nice event. Something that drops extra radios or tokens directly would have been an even better move to show that you are listening to our concerns, though.

I will enjoy the event, but without spending. #walletstillclosed

DLich

@JackBauer now that your strategy is seen by anyone viewing the forum (and I think it's a great idea and one I have shared with my guild) I hope the outpost values aren't tweaked no counteract this strategy.

As long as it remains a cost of 2 gas per outpost play and 10 tg costs to search for an outpost and double xp pertains to outpost walker kills your strategy is spot on to maximize effeciency.

Another great idea is car crash. it's 8 gas for lvl 17 walkers but since they don't increase in strength it's possible to kill 100 and then "flee". Just be sure to bring a survivor along you don't mind throwing to the wolves. When you don't attain any stars in a challenge mission there is no cool down.

JackBauer

@DLich I recommended inside our guild the "Inside and Out" for farming. There are constantly coming fatties all the time from left and right top. Unfortunately I'm already over the point of "no return" at this challenge mission where I can't farm it anymore on weekend.

Psssst!

I know it's not popular opinion and don't throw the stones yet but just a thought:

If they make good event, maybe I can buy gas booster, but nothing more.
I know they throwing us a bone to see if we will break, but I consider gas booster is good thing to start with, it has nothing to do with problems in update 1.9, 1.10 and 2.0.

Maybe they want to go in right direction and will implement some changes like this in future updates, but step by step. Because if they won't - they will continue to see all kind of riots and strikes.

Any thoughts? Don't press "disagree", just say what you think.

EDIT. Ok I've made a decision - no gas booster even for good event.

Rick_ZK

I don't want to be a cash producing lab rat as some forum member described it. So my wallet will stay closed. I'm not falling for their trick. Even a gas booster is income for NG and goes against my better judgement.

JackBauer

No. No. No.
Yesterday I used 40 radios for Maggie and got total disappointed.
Today I just got 10 radios together again and got again punked with bruiser tokens.
No. No. No.

I was thinking about just to press disagree...just for a rebel cause. But as I think we both have a fitting attitude, I drops some letters

I´m going with Rick and Jack...stay strong!

Yes...it is a good event, but we had it several times and I don´t see this as a movement toward the community. It was simply the time (after shitty events) for a good event.

You´ll pass it...it will come again

PR0DJ

@Invader I guess you right.
Anyway they should increase gear-drop-rate first so we have decent gear to upgrade.
So I guess I will pass this time. Will upgrade slowly, game isn't going anywhere.
