A player has a significant advantage in earning this award based solely on how close they are to promoting Carol. A player who is just a few tokens away from promoting her has an easy job, those far away from promoting her have a nearly impossible job. I applaud NG for trying a new player incentive, but this execution of an idea really needed some more thought.
That's because there isn't a scout with a good leader trait lol. BTW idk if you have Michonne or not but her with scouts with swift and TR guarantees threat reduction
Additionally she has bullet dodge so that's a secondary trait that has become worthless. So why should I run Carol with beefed up stats when I can run my 7 star who has 5 great traits? This argument has been discussed before a lot on this board, but it all goes to body shots. Great that heros now do more base, but eventually that cancels out unless they are pinked up. My 7 star with less total damage is more useful than my legendary Carl who does 1600 more damage then 7 star

Yes, I do have her but she is way down the list because her tokens are so hard to get I would love to use her some day
@Kaz I am 1750 tokens away from pinking Carol. So unless one of those ways to help us is a double Carol tokens for 15 radios call, I have no shot even if I buy every single radio bundle in existence.
This event is a great idea in theory... My Carol is epic with needing about 139 tokens to promote to legendary. I'll most likely get her to legendary to earn my spear yet @theldssdl who already has theirs at legendary needs 1750 to get theirs to pink to earn the spear. Kinda sucks for them

You are looking at Damage vs Level.... IDC if my Carol was 8k damage on level 30+ these two scouts are better suited. Eventually traits and star level matter way more than just physical damage
If you do this event a second time, how about doing this with Rufus and offering his couple of weapons as prizes

The tools you have are based on several factors Maximizing your radios by this I mean spending the radios on the right events(IE Hero WEEK) Then not only that but upgrading the right heros and being able to understand and use their leader traits to best possible way.
Then there is trade good shop where you can buy tokens, and should buy tokens to get those double pink, triple pink, something I didn't do for my first 9 months of playing.
Then there is knowledge of the skill tree and how they work together. Something a good guild can teach you.
Then there is pure luck of radio call, radio drops, etc...
To spend significant radios on Carol to get her to pink when they will run another hero week isn't maximizing players radios. I would rather save and use on a hero that is more beneficial down the road. IE Michonne, Rufus for example weren't used in last hero week. Rufus has never been in a hero week.
Love this event, @Kaz . Thanks for continuing to mix it up. I will try to get her to pink, but even if I don’t, still love the event. And I greatly appreciate the announcement today. It allows me to plan a little in advanced. I hope NG continues to do more of that. A couple of days of notice can make all the difference.
That's unfair. Why the players that has Carol in 5 stars cant get the reward? @Kaz at least they should give the Spears to the players who already have her in legendary
@Kaz I love the idea behind the event but the implementation feels like another punch in the face for veteran players. Those of us who have put a significant amount of time and effort into getting Carol to legendary prior to this event and are no where near the next promotion receive another ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ from NG as our reward. Perhaps you should put some serious consideration into the suggestion from @docfinzenburg on how to make this event more fair.

I think you you should get something
I just happened to have 549 radios saved up yesterday Not knowing the event was coming, but I was saving for the next 40 call event anyway
I made 13 x 40 calls and did pretty well
544 - Daryl Tokens 256 - Glenn tokens 128 - Tara Tokens 224 - Carol tokens - Carol went 5 star 96 - Sasha tokens 32- Merle tokens
I re-rolled everything that was not a hero token I feel cheated not getting any Eugene tokens
@Kaz i love the general idea of promoting good heroes and reward us for going after them. But, as others have also pointed out, a promotion of the selected hero IN THE SELECTED TIMEFRAME makes us hoard hero tokens from now on, waiting for the next event. Do you really want that?

Moan, moan, moan. Wah, wah, wah! Why can't NG cater events for me and only me. Forget all the other players around the world and at different levels.
Honestly, if you don't want to take part in the event don't. If you can't because you've already pinked Carol, then you'll have to see what other event NG comes up with. Not everything will suit every single player.

It's not that I "don't want to take part in the event." It's that I CAN'T take part in the event. I need 1,421 Carol tokens to get her to pink (see below). No matter how many calls I make, no matter how much Distance I play, unless I spend THOUSANDS of dollars this week, it is literally impossible for me to get this reward. Whereas people who just through sheer luck happen to be right on the precipice of promoting her get a SWEET piece of legendary gear for free. Look, if the reward was some green normal knife, I wouldn't care. But it's a friggin long-range, LEGENDARY scout weapon. The rarest of the rare! Why should being at the right point at the right time be the only reason people get such a sweet piece of gear?!
Edit to add: And furthermore, it's like being penalized for actually progressing! It's not like I just started the game yesterday and I'm complaining because I don't even have Carol unlocked yet. I'm complaining because I've already achieved the goal they've set, and they're telling me "too bad, you did it too quickly."

I am 1712 Carol tokens away from promoting her to a pink star. Is there a prize for being the farthest away from earning the award?

Why would you do that?
I stick Jesus in as leader and use the scout for threat reduction
That combo works really well
Remember to use your charge abilities

I would love to use her some day
The scout can open the chest or gates a turn before any one else gets there
