Another awesome weekend event

Phoenix527

So instead of an xp weekend or a much needed survivor event we get increased gold and silver boxes. Thanks.....

SgtSalami

Well I will see how it plays out. It may yield a lot more resources than we think. I could sure use the survivor event. My guys are starting to max out and need replacement.

Well the 'good news' is eetu agrees that this event sucks. I've been maxed since rollbacks in March, I can't believe they didn't give us a survivor weekend in April.

Well hopefully the boxes and crates all silver have like 26000xp in them and the gold hopefully have 49000xp... Which yea we need way more then that all the time n that should be standard but it's better then nothing and hopefully they do the boxes like that... Doubtful but we'll see

No I don't think it sucks. Instead of just e.g. an xp weekend, you get more of everything.

Invader

Yeah...this means we get higher chances to get low level equipment and low level xp/tomatos since we have to play the challenge

Okay...positive point...gold crates offering radios sometimes

After last weekend's event I almost did cartwheels when I saw this one!!

@SlickRick For the win! I can't even remember last week's event.

@PapaSmurf

I think most of us have tried to burn it from our memories...the pain was too real

LOL, I had the same exact thought.

Necroboogie

There was an event?? Hmmm....

OMG! I can't remember what it was either. I'm not joking....

@eetu then why like a post that's being sarcastic about the event?

This event is actually pretty nice. You can be sure I'll be moving my deadly count well beyond 2000 this weekend. I need a new assault rifle and a new warrior blade and the xp to upgrade both of them. I'm going to be making good use of this weekend.

Same here...there is a pretty good bundle on sale...should I?

(edit) I need a hunter weapon

I'll definitely be playing more deadlies this weekend. Gonna try to get as many stars as I can today, so I have better rewards in the higher level guild challenges tomorrow. May also play some hard and nightmare episodes for the better rewards since I'm not too optimistic I'll get much useable equipment from recommended survivor level 17 exploratory missions.

Just my passive-aggressive meta-sarcastic sense of humor

He's staff on this forum. Sarcasm is now a normality.

I was thinking the same thing! Time to grind away at the low hanging fruit today in hopes of better drops this weekend at the higher levels.

OneLessTitan will keep us honest

TheLostOnes

I think it's a rather good event overall. Sure, there are a few I would have liked more but it's an event where there will be something for everybody's needs. The extra gold tickets can both yield high XP, food, phones and gas.

I guess even equipment, but for some reason, the gear I get from gold tickets (both from mission tickets and the 500 TG ones) is ALWAYS level 15 or 16 and my survivors are 17 so that's autoscrap. Hoping the computer soon "raises" the level it thinks I am.

Oh, this started out as a positive post but turned slightly negative. Sorry about that!

masmith93

@TheLostOnes the crates are definitely way off. For a few weeks I've been getting level 11 for my 15/16 hunters.

@eetu such is your prerogative

blaher86

Yeah...I am so happy for this event, "where is my ps4 controller, going back to playing ps4 until there is a worth wild event!"

@blaher86 Next Games Gone Wild?

After last weekend there was literally no where to go but up. If I pull the elusive base level 18 legendary rifle it will have been a successful event for me. They could make it better by following up next weekend with a 3X scrap event so we can thin out all the new gear in our armory for a fair payback in XP. Of course, they could prove they listen /care/actually read our forum comments, and give us a radio event. Then again, we could get a "Scout 2x strike" event too...

tunky

I dont remember last weekends event either, i could go to announcements and look but then i wouldnt come back here and comment, so i guess i will never know what it was, as far as this event, eh, eh, idk, some events definitely seem more special than others

Phoenix527

Last weekend was x2 bruiser damage lol

I honestly think they won't release a legendary radio event until the radio changes take place and level 20+ survivors can be summoned. Level 18 players pulling legendary max 18 and 19 characters (if they even pull a legendary) will lead to thread after thread complaining about low survivor limits.

I actually like this event , for farming xp , ketchup , and phones even more than for the gear chances. Nobody has mentioned the best part about it which is the 15g cost to open 3 more crates. I know it's a "pay us gold" part of the event , but those who already pay to get that gold crate they missed with no cinema chance will save a ton of gold this weekend.

I'm first to call NG out on bad events , but I don't agree this one is.

One should expect that the expected can be prevented, but the unexpected should have been expected....

While I had hoped for a radio even this weekend, I suspect that this is true. Since they started having them, we've never gone this long without one. If that is the reason for the delay, I fully support it despite badly needing some higher level survivors.
