I love Carol she's my favorite character alive. And also in the game maybe she dont have the best lider trait bu every single time that I use her i feel so powerful and fearless.
Everyone crying that their carols already legendary lol! You weren't crying for the low level players who couldn't participate in the increased badge event last weekend. Also you don't know what the traits are yet could be silver destructive, gold accurate and gold lucky.
Well, I dug under my cushions and I found two cents, so I’ll spend them here.
Carol, imho, is one of the main reason I watch the show. She went from being an abused housewife to someone that not only takes care of herself, but she saves others. Sure in the T.V. series she’s gone a bit wiggy at times, but I bet ya dollars to donuts every single person here would be a bit off if your life revolves around surviving the apocalypse and the dead walking all around you.
She’s a badass and a bit of an inspiration to my daughter (while she was still binging the seasons with me). That all being said, in the game, I have found her to be a bit hard to upgrade and often complain to my guild the she never misses a kill in the show. How can she miss killing a walker lower level than she is!! Bah. Anywho..
I really do appreciate when NG throws us bones. They are doing something that will make some people really excited. This is yet another instance of you got lucky and timed it right. How many of you that are complaining already have Rufus and got him for free? Well, I didn’t know about the game at that time, so should I be upset that you got him for free and I didn’t?
How many people that just started playing, and maybe don’t even know about the forums, have yet to get Carol? Is NG intentionally screwing them? No. It’s simply a matter of where you are when it happens. If the was a Michonne event I would be just as SOL because I haven’t even been able to get enough tokens to unlock her.
Suggestions such as ”Use Carol for X # of ________" also seem reasonable, until you backup to previous statement of the new folks who don’t even have her yet. Maybe someone just unlocked her and has no gear for Scouts that is worth spitting on, yet they’ve already put days of hard effort into the challenge, now they are so far up Carol wouldn’t survive a mission. Is NG trying to spit on them? Again I must say Nay!
Every time NG, the Staff, or Moderators mention an event, it doesn’t seem to matter what it is, people throw a fit about fair, unfair, even for all etc. Unless every player of the game has the exact same toons at the same level and the same amount of playtime, what ‘event’ would be fair and equal to all?
I want to be involved in this! I’d love to get an award for this!
What chance do I have of getting an award? Not unless it goes for more then six weeks! Am I agree? NO
I understand that not everyone will always qualify! When the Distance came out and I was level 12 I didn’t complain about unfair because I couldn’t play even though others kept tossing the ‘Well you have missions to do, get over it!’.
I encourage people to ‘get over it’ and just hope, if you can’t get this event, you get the next one. I’m just glad NG is doing something, anything, to try to keep people playing.
I’m sure people already said this the fault of @Kaz but ya know what? He doesn’t make all the decisions. Can we, for once, simply be grateful??
I’m sure I lost folks at ‘Hello’, but if ya read till the end, I guess I owe ya a bit of change, because that was probably more like a nickel than $00.02. So, sorry, next time?

Sometimes I cry thinking about all the gold I wasted that I earned from story missions back before I understood how valuable gold was. I cannot go back and replay them. But I also don’t hate on the lower level players who can still earn this gold and use it in a useful manner.

******* I want to preface this is by no means a suggestion but rather an example *******
If NG decided they wanted to run something similarly for influence. "All players who gain 1,000 influence in a cycle will be rewarded with some crazy weapon that we normally charge players to purchase in a bundle only"
Those with lower than 3K influence will find it easier to attain since below 3K you can't get the TG Tuesday deals BUT below 3K you can attain more than 10 influence per victory.
A player at 5K influence (where I am) would need to complete 100 victories to get 1K influence increased.
A player at 2K influence, earning on average 25 influence per win, would only need 40 victories to get 1K influence increased.
@Firekid the issue here is this isn't a weapon you just find with 3 traits. It's a scout weapon that allows you to attack up to 3 enemies. No other scout weapon does that and the game has never had that weapon given out free... You always had to pay. This is the issue players are upset with. Not the traits it contains but rather the "special" feature it has.

@ShadowaceAz good post, but if you read all the comments you will see its not necessary the event, but rather the hero. Sure this will generate revenue as people will spend for it. But people also buy literal shit online so we have that to.
My point and complaint is Michonne is a well liked Walking Dead character, she is extremely useful in game, surely is less likely to be legendary by a lot of players.
I don't think the major gripe is the event, its the little thought NG put behind it. I doubt they spent countless hours coming up with this. I doubt they sat and said hey how can we reach out to our entire fan base. They said hey lets get the newish player to spend in hopes they continue many older players that I know aren't spending cause of bundle changes and the grind. So I feel this was targeted directly to the lower or newer player.

I don't think NG is nefariously making this event. I just think that anyone who can promote her in any way AND those who have her legendary or higher should get the reward.
If she's a Rare hero and you promote her to Epic you get the reward If she's an Epic for you and you promote her to Legendary you get the reward If you have her at legendary already you get the reward
Not If you promote her to legendary, promote her to 1 pink, promote her to 2 pinks, promote her to 3 pinks, promote her to 4 pinks, promote her to 5 pinks you get the reward.
What about players like @Movado who probably already have her at 5 pink stars... She can't be promoted when she's already at max. #WhatAboutMovado

Didn't they say it was a test event and depending on how it goes will decide if they have similar events in the future?
Didn't they say they are beefing up Carol, heath, damage, etc.?
I hope no endgamers and or supplies max players are complaining...because Glenn is useless for you as a leader, but even though I just got a couple of regular toons to a pink star, doesn't Carol's leader trait really help all the multiple pink star players?
@Kaz since we will seemingly be needing to finish the distance to get these great necessary tokens to take advantage of the event, can we assume wrestling will be unnerfed for the week on distance? ☺️
In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us.

I can't believe you want it un-nerfed now after single-handedly leading the effort to get it nerfed in the first place.
Everyone’s got two wolves inside them. One is anger, envy, pride. The other…truth, kindness. Every day they tear each other apart. But it’s not the better wolf that wins. It’s the one you feed.
@Bill_ZRT Nope I refuse to be the total asshole responsible for that one. I will take all sorts of crap, but that guy sucks.

Jeez... the first and last time I play the blame @Guapo game. I was even going to /agree with you, but now you made me sad.

I have to agree with @MadMonkey and @RealClareB not every event goal will be attainable by all players. They have an event in process right now for increased rewards for those guilds that reach 20,000 stars. My guild, along with MANY others will not come close to this (our record is just over 13,000). In fact, I would venture a guess that the increased rewards are only attainable by about 10% of all NML players. Do you see me saying they should lower the guild goal? Nope. It's just an event that isn't geared toward me. My Carol is rare with two traits to upgrade before I go for epic. Will I make it to legendary? Probably not. But I'm gonna give it a go!
@Kaz if possible would you let us know if there will be many Carol tokens in Normal mode, or do we have to finish Hard mode?
I know I just posted a long winded post, and I will stand by it, however (comma), I wonder if those of us that just now can get through most of Normal will have a chance or are we the unlucky ‘came too late’ group?

All in all its a great idea, NG coming to us with some cool ideas.
All it needs is few adjustments.
To be honest, better something like this where many will get "alienated" is better than nothing at all.
I remember days when class bonus damage or damage reduction was implied only once or month or so, now its evey week so there's definitely good progress in that matter.
Unless someone really really likes Carol, it is a much better deal to just buy the spear than buy radios to get her to pink. I need about 500 just for legendary. Do I buy say, 80 phones to get 2 shots at getting enough? Because that will cost more than just buying the damn spear when it shows up again, plus no need to let rng screw me. Unless you plan on using a hero which isn't used because she isn't very good in the game (kinda funny the way to fix that is to give us things to use her instead of making her useful by fixing say, her traits) you are better off just buying a weapon. Cuz math.
In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us.
