What the? So components are completely removed? Yeah, well....commence phase two. NOT GOOD! They could have lowered the odds of xp instead of just removing components.
That's just stupid!
I cannot confirm or deny that. I only had 1 gas remaining and since the new said the event was live, I did a 1 gas mission on the easiest level. I do not know if that might have affected the components.

@TJS The last two times the old style radio event was run (Christmas 2017 and the two year anniversary celebration in October 2017), both were only one day events.
And I believe both were run on a week day as there were complaints about that happening.

I remember the last radio event around christmas was running for 2 days from Wednesday to Friday and was cutoff by some hours by NG on Friday releasing a huge shitstorm...
Chances of Radio's in Gold Chest was 3% it's now 6% (2x greater chance) Chances of Radio's in Silver Chest was 4% it's now 8% (2x greater chance) Chances of Radio's in Bronze Chest was 2.5% it's now 15% (6x greater chance)

On the previous radio event, you could get 500-1000 phones per day, you had to buy a booster but it was worth it @ShadowaceAz start counting your phones today and you'll see what is this about.
Is like ordering a meal, with beverage, coffee and dessert and get a sample that is out of date. Two things will happen: 1) Half of the ppl at the restaurant will leave 2) The other half will complain because that is not what it was expected.
We don't even need analogies that's exactly what is happening here, now.
Now the breaking economy excuse... that's another big BS, and pardon my french but.... progression is infinite, and it gets harder and harder every step, since it gets harder(exponentially) arguing that what you used to get before on an easy progress curve, now is "breaking the economy" is insulting. I'd understand it on product that has material costs.... but it is only bits and bytes. This games need the false promise of progression, as soon as the player feels is getting nowhere, that they can't progress they'll leave.

Not true last event was 2 days and they cut the event short. I am not sure where people are getting this 1 day shit from. I specifically remember they cut it short by a few hours and people were mad because they bought gas/changed sleeping habits/ planned on doing it till last minute then NG changed the time
@Pic I have exactly the same feeling. It is like waiting the whole year for Christmas just to find out that Christmas day is gone for ever and instead of toys, presents, etc... you get a bunch of candies, same as in Halloween, Eastern, etc...
Even if I rolled 300 phones with the old event it is no where near enough to upgrade my end game heros/toons, I have been playing for about 1 half hrs 2 phones. I'll maybe play on and off all day so hoping to roll enough for a 15 call by dinner.
Seriously how often do you plan on running this event? From October to Jan you ran old format 2x. I think you ran old format 4x last year. So how often is new format going to be done? Is your business team this special that they don't see the continue to push away their players? Who makes these calls is it developers or business ops?
Chances of Radio's in Gold Chest was 3% it's now 6% (2x greater chance) Chances of Radio's in Silver Chest was 4% it's now 8% (2x greater chance) Chances of Radio's in Bronze Chest was 2.5% it's now 15% (6x greater chance)
Those "increases" are based off the %s that were lowered from 5% around the time when the chance of radios in the Trade Good store were also lowered (bronze crates only, silver and gold have stayed the same).
@Japes87 I saw the comment. (quoted below) I'm not sure where he got those drop rates from, maybe from what he and others appeared to experience because as far as I'm aware drop rates weren't released at the time of the last event as JayZ mentioned. (quoted below) Kaz says drop rates were double in all crates. (I can only assume that is true.) He does not mention if that has changed, I guess we'll only know when the event starts. (quoted below)
That's what we know as far are drop rates.
What we do know is in previous event Gold Crates contained 6 Radios, Silver 4, Bronze 2. Exactly what I said in my previous comment.
OneLessTitan
And for those that want to compare this event to previous radio events (when they ran for the entire weekend), here's the drop rates found that were consistent across multiple radio events: Bronze Crate: 15% (instead of 5% outside of event) Silver Crate: 8% (instead of 4% outside of event) Gold Crate: 6% (instead of 3% outside of event)
JayZ
Agreed. It's too bad we couldn't see the "increased" percentage of the last time they ran the radio event to be able to compare this event to the previous event. We can only compare this event to normal drop rates.
Kaz
The chances were doubled in all crates (Normal/Silver/Gold) and those are the same numbers from the previous events. Between Increased and Double, they would sound the same. And a "reasonable increase" is not the best way to sell an event, haha. But the drop tables will be there to clear any doubt!
@TJS - If you think my "data" comes from a source that wasn't 100% accurate, that's fine. Sharing the "data" (aka drop rates) before Apple made NG do so resulted in numerous bans/jailings on this forum, and a threat or two saying they'd ban me from the game. Would they do that if I was sharing lies? Believe me if you want to, or don't, it doesn't matter to me. I'm not just making stuff up, and it wasn't from tedious amounts of data collection. In JayZ's comment, "we" didn't include everyone; there have always been people who actually knew what was going on with the game (and someone like me...aka the "WikiLeaks" of NML data), and there are plenty of people who probably realize this after having certain things (like body shot mechanics) explained to them...now that's just common knowledge that has no real "data" behind it. Some things are still a mystery, but many things aren't and haven't been for a long time.
And I don't think Kaz was intentionally lying; he probably just didn't know or got incomplete info. Is it a coincidence that he said every % was doubled, I said bronze had been tripled (silver/gold % doubled was accurate), and the drop rates now show that bronze has been tripled (based on the old drop rates 15% is 3x 5%...6x the new nerfed rate of 2.5%)???
Did NG change the drop rates based on my comment, or maybe I knew exactly what I was talking about? I don't make those types of statements without confidence they are correct...and will admit when I'm wrong...
Did I say it wasn't correct? Did I say you posted lies?
You collected data from players experience, it's that not what I said?
I did not say that you said I posted lies. You said we only knew that crates values were increased from previous events and nothing else. That is false.
Don't know if it's been addressed but you don't get components from missions with difficulty lower than 15 I think.
That's why no component % for Tara missions

Thanks @Dodkong. I would never deny my memory sucks.
@TJS Simply because I wanted to try to head off the "We got screwed again" bandwagon. I went and bought gas...
This is from the Trailers mission.
Components were not removed!

Here is discussion but it was Wednesday and Thursday
@Dodkong
@Jasper
Last event was two days. I was able to take 1 day to grind and scored 900 radios. Will either of you come close to that?
NG just killed Santa, and that's cruel.

> i think 18 in one hour is bad. thats like a non event phone drops. It is likely better but no thing like previous events
