@TJS My apologies, it seems my memory sucks worse than yours. You were correct about the Christmas event being two days.
@Drunken Good grief man, I made a mistake in remembering how long an event lasted. You'd think I TP'd your house, slashed your tires and gave your little black book to all those residing inside of it.
We all get it, you hate NG, you don't like what they've done with NML, you can cite how this other game went the same route and how it failed miserably after going that route. Then you can cite this other game was developed by two guys in their mom's basement using rubber bands and bubble gum that kicked serious ass and makes NML look like tin cups and strings.
We've heard this all before. In approximately every third post you've made in the form since the bundles went "poo-tastic." How about something new? Or even better, nothing at all, since you've found the outdoors; the gym and, as a result your feet; and hopefully the number to the local med express for when that rash and itchy feeling come calling after your new companionship leaves.
Because I don't know about anyone else, but right now, I'd drop about 500 bucks in NG's bank account for them to create an ignore option in the forum just so I don't have to see your diarrhea of the mouth any more. It's gone well beyond constructive criticism to a toxic diatribe.
And congrats on grinding out 900 phones in a day. My best was around 350. I would never spend 20 out of 24 hours doing any one activity because I find that to be extremely unhealthy, both physically and mentally. I play for relaxation and enjoyment, not to strive to be the best. Because at that point, for me, the game ceases to be a game and becomes a job. And that's not why I play a game.
So to answer your question, no, I won't come close to 900 phones. Hell, I probably won't even come close to my 350 phones since I'm traveling this weekend. So I guess you get to win this e-peen contest. You da man!

MMM feel that rage. I feel your pain and anger. I love it... Thanks for the kind words I did find my feet and also my pecker again was an amazing feeling. You was quick to point out last event was only a day but then get so upset when I corrected you that it lasted 2 my post to you was as simple as that.
Also if you want to drop 500 bucks to make me disappear I can give you my Venmo information and I will sign a written agreement to never return to this board. That's up to you but you brought up the topic now its open and easy to fix or was that just a more of a way to suck that ____ of NG?
heck 500 bucks is 500 bucks. He can even have my account for that lol. If people noticed I never posted past 430 central time and never on the weekends. Hmm
Because I care for the players I guess you could call me a player advocate. I still use line and I still talk to a handful of people every day that I have met through the game. The forums is a way to kill time while at work for me
This is the ONLY event I truly looked forward to. Pretty sad day. Have spent several hours tanning at the beach, and only got 50 radios. No booster being purchased here. I guess once NG have grandfathered us out, the newbies won’t remember there was a time that there were actually awesome moments in this game. RIP ICELS, Now R.I.P. the radio event. I’m bummed, but not entirely surprised, it’s pretty much the MO with this game now.
I don't think it's been that bad! I love the game and I love being part of the community on the forums, I get the frustration but the forums lately have been riddled with so much negativity, complaining, whining, whatever you want to call it. But holy hell it's becoming a little draining
I wouldn't want to no life the game and play beach life all weekend. But I'm currently half way through a booster and I'm on 100 radios gained. I've spent 7 hours of that sleeping, just played through RSL28-32 and done a little XP scavenges. Wrestler was nerfed to outrage on the forums, but it made the distance actually challenging and rewarding to finish and it turned out to be the right decision. If they have to nerf the radio event so we may or may not see it more often, so be it.
I would say this and another board are the best results I had so far. I managed to get 5 radios at once earlier in the Tara mission but haven't had really anything since.
I usually don't go for all 9 but I had 2 golds left after opening 6.
If your analogy is that NG is slowly taking things from their customers, like gradually building an immunity to a poison, in the hopes that players won’t rage quit (die), they are failing miserably.
NG should just end the radio event alltogether. They just wound up looking stupid and greedy with this new version of the event. The scripted line of BS from the moderator was a feeble attempt to defend the event....and it insulted many players. Just end the event....no real point in participating anyway.
I don't know about y'all, but I'm enjoying the event. More phones is always good. And if getting rid of the increased number of phones makes it possible to do the event more often, I'm down for that. Assuming that is the goal, I will be one of the (seemingly) few on here to say good work NG!
I found a radio... but it’s breaking up... can...hear me? The animals ... they...turning... first...humans...later...gator...a while...crocodile. Radios there’s not enough to get the message...
I ran yesterday XP farming missions on low difficulty and have not received the promised radios. I played for more than 2 hours with surely about 100 missions and received a lousy 8 radios! Today I played equipment farming missions and in 10 minutes, I received 6 radios!
With the 15% drop rate for 1 radio in a bronze stash and with 3 boxes per mission, I should get 1 radio in about 3 to 4 missions but this is definitely not the case!
From that data, it seems obvious that the devs haven’t changed the drop rates correctly in every game mode, this is my personal impression.
Someone else with the same impression on the XP mode?
Why are people in here thanking NG for nerfing the best event and only one that made a huge difference to upgrading our characters ?
They nerfed an amazing event (the last amazing event) and how could someone who loves this game try to put a positive spin on it?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion , but the way this thread and the weekend has gone makes me question what this once great community has become .. being positive is great, but we can positively know that every single comment defending this nerf will just lead NG to thinking they did the right thing here . Yes you are all entitled to your opinions and this is mine .. going dark for a while to decide if I want to keep playing this game, peace for now to all my friends here .
I'm off this week. My first thought when I saw the event announcement in game was to buy a booster. But first I needed to burn the 100+ gas I'd amassed ready for today (Sunday). It didn't take long for me to realise the event sucks.
Sure enough, I see this thread and a couple of others.
So from a guaranteed booster sale, most likely with double XP my spend suddenly became £0.00.
Personally I play the challenge, and the distance. Being an end game player, and playing for as long as I have I'm just not interested in grinding scavenge. Even on updates if you notice the ones who don't purchase gold for a speedy upgrade usually just grinds along, or waits for x2 soup. This means I play the challenge for these extra radios. (And the Challenge Only) I've noticed a tiny increase. Not many. And this is definitely an event that I won't be all hyped for and cancel my PERSONAL weekend events. I'm sure many end game players are like myself. Exp the ones that have been around from the beginning when walkers were a handful of experience. That grind, oh boy that grind almost drove me away thank goodness that was fixed. But when you add up the challenge, the distance. I just don't have the time to grind out scavenger. This being said I liked this event because it was less hassle. You could run this 3 or 4xs I'd still take 1 or 2 of the old event. Salt in the wound is being able to purchase more radios. Those weren't touched they were increased. I enjoyed this game because at one point in time it didn't matter if you were a whale, or f2p you both had the same advantages. I hope this changes, I doubt it will. BTW I Hate ranting, and with history it's like beating a dead horse. I do apologize but this was one of the few events that I enjoyed

Your posts are the best.
I love the chaos based on nothing but the truth.
I hope NG can read through the mist though.

Have you ever had a nice MLT...mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich...where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They’re so perky
