> 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?!
Can i hit agree, like and awesome at the same time? I am totally agree with you. @RealClareB We want to be part bu be can't if we dont spend a lot of MONEY!!!!
Like I said this is a nice event in theory but unless the reward is given to anyone who already has her at legendary already it’s going to cause players to hoard tokens and not promote them to legendary.
I don’t think NG wants that.

Erbody needs a chill pill ........ or a quick throatpunch, I honestly don’t see any ill will by NG putting this event out there. I sincerely hope they keep mixing it up with different events like this........ it’s random and new. We truly get butthurt over the pettiest shit, I mean damn.
Also, to be perfectly clear, I am in no way saying that they should be giving us anything for FREE. If I had to spend a few bucks to get enough Carol tokens to promote her, I would seriously consider it, and if I decided not to, then that's on me. But I would literally have to spend thousands of dollars to promote her, and that is simply unrealistic.

That's a very good point @DBones and @DLich.
Dobled tokens 15 call would narrow down the gap between those that can and can't but still wouldn't eliminate the whole issiue.

Chill pill is in hand. I will find my zen. Please no throatpunches here, especially while that pill is going down.

I agree. I don't think this is malicious in any way at all by NG. But the base being if you promote her to legendary compared to someone who spends and spends and has her at 2 pink stars there's a HUGE difference in the number of tokens needed for them to earn it compared to me to earn it. They have spent much money if they have her at 2 pinks already so maybe they'll continue to spend more for the reward. IDK.
But in hopes they run this event again for a different hero I think i'm better off not promoting until the "right time" (IE another event like this) since the easiest way for me to earn it is when I promote them to legendary. I'll want to keep my hero's at epic until there's a benefit in it (IE a free pitchfork)

That would depend if event was double tokens are not. My issue still remains Carol is not good enough to spend on. Great loved character on show, but she only has 3 useable traits in game.
How about some ideas that don't have the same problem, but produce the same effect of encouraging players to upgrade Carol? Let's come up with some ideas to base the awards that don't directly involve promoting her. For example:
* awards based on the number of stars earned in the challenge this week with Carol on the team * awards based on the number of kills made by Carol during the week * awards based on having Carol survive high-level missions in The Distance * awards based on the number of completed challenge missions with Carol in the lead that are higher than her current level
Let's give NG some ideas that are better, so they can do this with other heroes too.
it's like being penalized for actually progressing!
Imagine that!

Can you tell us when the special radio call for Carol will start? Does it start as soon as the current Hero Fest call event ends? Also can you tell us how many radios this special call will cost?
You better check yo self before you wreck yo self...cuz I'm bad for your health, I come real stealth
It’s a nice new concept in offering unique legendary weapon. Yet inevitably, some players will have used up their tokens/promotions beforehand, no matter when event is announced. I think offering x2 carol tokens, or, even extending duration of Event longer may help players bridge the gap. This may especially help F2P or minimal spenders.
As for the specific player demographic who already has multiple pinkstars on Carol, let’s not stand on ceremony here folks; if a hypothetical player already has 9-star carol, then that hypothetical player doesn’t care about this event because said player is a spender and likely already has Spear or multiple spears from past bundle purchases. This hypothetical player also never uses Carol because she’s useless at high RSL’s and therefore will not be concerned with said Event. This hypothetical player is therefore not the target audience of said Event. This hypothetical player accepts this notion, but would only like his hypothetical fellow players/guildmates to have chance at obtaining unique legendary weapon without having to purchase. Just hypothetically speaking.
Just consider what the reaction would be if it was Abe or Sasha instead of Carol. There are some that would need in the tens of thousands of tokens to get the rewards.
I think featuring lesser used Heroes is the better option, easier for players to achieve the rewards.

This is a good idea for an event but it clearly alienates some of the player base. That's not nice and you have done it before multiple times before, NG.
Please take better care next time ok?
Personally I got extremely pissed with the Halloween bundle when some got the opportunity to skyrocket their teams to insane levels with 100 bucks while most never got the chance and had to face a sarcastic "I'm sorry" with a tap on the back.
People will complain about anything. It is a one week event. Many times we don’t get any event during the week. Be grateful for what you get. And if it doesn’t work out for you, oh well, move on. Maybe the next one will be great for you.
@Movado great post. As I stated I can tell that some players aren't all that aware of what a good hero is. @Kaz said Carol is badass but he knows shes not in the game. That is why they are beefing her up in hopes that it makes it more attractive. The last hero week event they waited till the very last two days to run Sasha and Abe that's because they know the big spenders and the majority of players realize how important them two are.
This is a cool concept, but I think it would be so much more better for it be a Michonne type hero who is extremely useful then they could run Warrior week next week and boom more people buy bundles to beef her up plus the bonuses.
I got lucky that my Carol is nearly Legendary. So, I’ll take the sweet Kingdom Spear. So, thanks for the freebie. But I see that this “event” leaves out a bunch of players. Wasn’t that the logic of why we are not doing the original Ultimate Challenge? Too many players were “alienated” because they could not participate? This event has the same feel as that. Just my observation.
Yeeeeah i like the event overall but the reward implementation kinda sucks for long-time players like myself. I've been around since Day 1 so have been around since 2.0 when Heroes were first brought into the fray. That means I've been collecting Hero tokens since 2.0 was released. Currently, all but 3 of my Heroes ( Aaron, Jerry, Gabriel) = Epic) are Legendary if not Elite. That said, assuming this type of event is ran for other characters, I'm out of the running for rewards for all but those 3 characters.
It would be a little bit more fair to me and players like myself if players were rewarded if they met the reward requirements at the end of the event. Regardless of when Carol becomes Legendary, Elite+, if the player's Carol is Legendary, Elite+ when the event ends, they should be given the appropriate rewards.
Also, I'm probably going to get her to Elite during this event because I need less than 1000 tokens. That shouldn't disqualify me from getting the Kingdom Spear just because my Carol is already Legendary. Just as during Community Events, rewards should be given upon reaching each reward threshold. When i get her to Elite, I should get
I love this game and I love the events NG implements. They add a new level of fun to the weekly routine. However, please don't forget to take into consideration the hard work of long-time players when determining events and how you reward the players.
@MadMonkey we are grateful with this event. Its a new event and a great one. But the problem is that a lot of players have Carol in legendary. And even in one week we wouldn't be able to get more than 1000 tokens. And we want that weapon. All of us. Because its unique and LEGENDARY.
For the record, I was not complaining about not, realistically, being able to get the spear. I accept the NG sets the rules for their game and that's that. I will admit to being disappointed but, this is just a game after all...
