7 Days of Heroes (new radio call event)

The next week is 7 days of heroes. Each day, the 15 call offers a higher chance of getting tokens for a particular hero, and if you get tokens for the hero-of-the-day, those tokens are doubled. The schedule is:
- Thursday, Nov 16: Rick
- Friday, Nov 17: Daryl
- Saturday, Nov 18: Governor
- Sunday, Nov 19: Negan
- Monday, Nov 20: Michonne
- Tuesday, Nov 21: Carl
- Wednesday, Nov 22: Maggie

I'm hoping to get my Daryl to his first pink star and Governor to legendary, so fingers crossed that the chances of hero tokens are actually a lot higher than usual (and better than the 10 calls). Even if they aren't, 15 radio calls are still the best bang-for-your-buck, so even if you're not getting specific hero tokens, you'll still be getting other useful survivor tokens that you would normally get from a 15 call.

Looking forward to the event NG! Hopefully we get one for Sasha, Jesus, and Abe soon

P.S. I think my radios are ready for this event.

It sounds good on paper and I'm optimistic and looking forward to it. I hope in 10 days I can say way to go NG and thank you so don't mess this up NG. Something positive would be nice after a river of bad news.

Did NG removed Abraham from the list because of what happened last time?

I am also ready for the event I have already 9 Radios ! Will be exciting.

TransmuteJun

This looks like a decent call event. It's an improvement on the regular 15 radio call, and a HUGE improvement over the terrible 10 radio call.

I am looking forward to this event, although I wish they had more heros. I'd like a Merle day!

Tapatio75

Going to save mine for Carl, only need 136

On another note my Abe is finally LEG and i unlocked Michonne

@JayZ ...thanks for info....but I've just used my phones the other day...wish there was a game heads up in news room before I used mine
If you have any extras left can you send some radios my way @JayZ ;-)

It's sad that my first thought when I read this was "I bet the chances of getting 64, 128, and 256 token drops are quietly reduced for this event".

I'm just going to go ahead and put this positive energy out into the universe: during this event, I WILL get my first ever 256 hero token drop on Nov. 20th!!!

Wish there was Aaron in there

Governator

If anyone gets 512 Hero tokens, please post it here. Then, we can all hate you.

Damn I JUST used a few hundred radios

@JayZ , holy crap!!!! You gotta post your results if you finally use those phones.

By the way, is nobody worried that NG is fiddling with the odds of our “beloved” 15 radio call ? I mean does anybody believe that everything will be as before after the event ? I fear that the 15 radio call is transferred into another bad version of the 10 radio call

Usually when I have 15 Radios I burn them in a call. Now, I need to save them until the event is over because I prefer taking normal tokens over Rick or other useless Hero tokens.

Anyhow, it’s maybe a good opportunity for people looking for certain heroe tokens. We will see it when painclasher makes a 300 radio burn on Governor day.

Or you could just use them as normal and not take hero tokens if you don't want them.

But save them if you prefer.

Captainslayer

Yeah I'll be saving mine to, no real useful show characters up (although michonne is fun to use at low rsl) and I don't want my 15 call diluted with them

I'm just hoping that @JayZ isn't a dick and provides a written summary to accompany his 3.5 hour, two hundred and thirty x 15 radio call YouTube video

kiwinz7

None of the trio that add any real value are on offer, ie Abraham, Jesus & Sasha

TJS

I was hoping for a Eugene token day.
Dam!

@JayZ 6 months ago on hero week with 10-calls, I needed just one Carl token to unlock him. Had to waste 200+ phones to get missing Carl token on Increased Chance for Carl Tokens day. I was very close to smash my phone to wall. Cant even think what you would be doing after wasting all your phones to get... well hopefully RNG is your friend.

So, this actually has nothing to do with the 15 call. They just increased the price of the awful 10 call. Oh well, at least they didn't mess with the only option that I've ever found worthwhile.

docfinzenburg

same rules as a normal 15 radio call, so only 3 stars and better
made 3 calls:
- 1st call rick (64) and two rares,
- 2nd call two times rick (64 each) and a rare,
- 3rd call one epic and two rares

i'm fine with it

JackBauer

Oh great, it is an extra call. That was not clear from the announcement.
I am no longer concerned regarding the normal 15 call.

Governator

I gave it a try and got 64 Rick tokens on the first pull. Not bad for a hero that will ride the pine. Before the Wrestler Nerf, Rick was useful as walker food in playing The Distance. I'll probably stick to one special hero call per day. I do that already with the 15 call.

TransmuteJun

You can still do a regular 15 call. It's just that this is better IF you're looking for the hero of the day.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. The 15 call has been improved for the same price (and you can still do the old one if you'd like). This is the best call event they have had since the day of 15 radio calls discounted to 10 last year.

I sure will! I'm probably going to compile my results over the course of the week and share them at the end

It really isn't. If you like that hero of the day you may want to consider it.

JayZ

I've started tracking my results in this spreadsheet in case anyone is interested!

Quick summary of 10 calls:
- 2 calls w/ 3 green goblins
- 2 calls w/ epic class tokens or non-Rick hero tokens
- 6 calls w/ Rick tokens (64, 256, 64, 64, 256, 256) for a total of 960 tokens

Overall, I averaged 96 Rick tokens per call. I also got Hunter, Assault, and Daryl tokens. Really digging this event so far, and I can't wait to get some of my heroes their first pink stars!

JayZ

Update: Be careful guys. I made 20 more calls and only got 320 hero token in those calls. I wonder if the drop rate was nerfed. My first 10 calls almost seemed too good to be true

From my next 20 calls:
- 6 calls w/ 3 green goblins
- 5 calls w/ epic class tokens or non-Rick hero tokens
- 4 calls w/ legendary survivors (!)
- 5 calls w/ Rick tokens (64 each time) for a total of 320 tokens

Teeceezy

No the drop rate was not nerfed. @JayZ
