I just wanna take a second and thank the folks at NG for the recent events - from increased rewards/0%body shots to increased trade goods/extra offers in trade shop to gold Rush weekend to fallen heroes week. These events have been fun and different from the usual. That shows me that you guys still have plenty up your sleeve and can still surprise us.
I'm of the mindset that people will be much more inclined to complain about something before complimenting a job well done, so I hope that those who are with me will take a second to thank you here as well. Keep up the good work guys!

So thank you NG and can't wait for my RPG.
PS: 1 RP for every 3 rounds is excellent.
Well, you might forgot, that NG downsized/lowered/decreased/adjusted/balanced nearly everything over the months before.
If you take the water source away from people over some time, every drop is appriciated when they are near to dry out.
Some people don´t even remember, there once was a water source...
Edit: I may poo poo on a thread thanking NG for the jackpot event!
> That's sad it only took 2 response posts before people came along and poo poo'ed on a thread telling NG thank you for doing something right. I won't tell people not to poo poo on someone else's' thread thanking NG but I wouldn't do that or at least try not to.

Nah, I expected that to happen from a few guys here. Don't care, really. There's just too much whining and complaining about everything NG does; so much so that even when they do something great, someone's gotta poo poo it. At this point, I think they could run an event where you have increased chances of opening crates that contain both radios and gold, with both amounts double, and someone would come along and complain that the drop rate increase wasn't big enough or that it wasn't combined with 1 minute gas, or whatever.
I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Thank you, NG. I got 79 Sasha tokens so far today!
Edit to add: Especially with no green gear in gold crates, I actually really enjoy jackpot weekends
I could really care less what their reasoning is also...they have done some very good/awesome things recently and that's all that matters to me...and in my world if someone is nice or does a good thing I like to say thank you and appreciate it
I know that sharing positive things is not as "attractive" as sharing complaints or even so, hate/toxic comments. And you can see the pattern: every "thank you" thread we get, doesn't have a lot of engagement and dies fast. At the same time, the "radio event nerfed" received 5 pages even before the event started. After the event, some people had changed their minds and most of them were okay with the fact that the changes were needed in order to make the event more frequent.
During the Guild Week, I guess we broke our record and we had 7 threads thanking us for the events (yes, I counted and I even took a screenshot). We had 8 events happening in the same week. And guess what, forum activity was really low.
And of course, I'm not saying "DON'T EVER share negative feedback". We value negative feedback as much as positive. But I guess it's easy to spot a player that is being difficult and one that it's sharing a negative feedback expecting to help and improve the product/service. Let's take the "A tribute to the fallen" event for example. Players love the Hero Week (double tokens for 15 radios). So we've brought it back and added Free Hero Tokens every day on top of that. So how is it possible to receive positive feedback about the Hero Week, but complaints about an event that it's unquestionably better?
Once again. Thank you for sharing your thoughts @jrodrf2
For me, 1.25 years into this game, it's still a lot of fun and you guys are continuing to improve it. Please keep the great ideas coming!
I often fear I will be found hanging by my toes outside some office building for going against the grain during forum flame moments. I'm glad you stepped up and offered a chance for me to say
Vir prudens non contra ventum mingit

Yeah there's definitely some awesome stuff going on recently and I believe it won't end there.
Now if we could get a tribute to the living week after this one that would be much appreciated so I can hopefully get Michonne up to 7*

As much fun as it would be to play Teeming Graveyard with charged bruisers again (and I loved the hell out of that match up), I'm looking forward to playing it with a different buff.
We might have to disagree on this one as I feel that 15 tokens is better than none and they have improved an event (even if ever so slightly) rather than "nerfed" the event.
I have never ever been offered 10 radios for 3500 tg's. I have bought 5 radios for like 5000 tg's.
@Kaz do players get different trade shop offers like that? If so, what the heck do I need to do to get on that list.
I have known for a long time that at least some players get way better radio calls, after mission crates, challenge reward crates, dailies rewards and challenge mission setups...well at least far more lucky than I have been for the most part...
...but say it ain't soooooo @Kaz not trade shop offers:(*******
Ps...I firmly believe that positive and negative feedback is essential and you should always praise when praise is due and RANT when it's warranted!
You can get 1 or 2 for free, and it is possible to buy 1 for 600 or 5 for 3000 once in awhile.
After the event, some people had changed their minds and most of them were okay with the fact that the changes were needed in order to make the event more frequent.
That statement made me laugh... You would have to run the event at least 8+ times to make it beneficial and given the track record I doubt that happens. The old format was ran 3-4x a year. I highly doubt NG does it in fact I bet this new format gets ran maybe 5x... But I favorite this threads link to review EOY
I spent over 500 to get Abraham to double pink for Legendary and Sasha to pink in one double token events.
So I paid a great deal to do it then basically stopped playing shortly after. This past challenge I got 9 stars! The price associated to get what you want is extreme, but in some fairness they do have to give players something to strive for. They Hero pool is very diluted and that's why they keep running the most used survivors in these double token events. They realize not many give a shit about someone like Eugene, in fact most heros are worthless or have little value. We all know what Sasha/Abe offer that's why we see them the most.
But NG had a successful bundle concept for most of the time I played(15 months or so) 1k gold/50Radios/ 2k TG for 9.99 that was a solid price point and worth wild to buy. Then during first double token event you got same bundle but added 25 hero tokens making it that much sweeter. That's when I started spending heavily on the game. It was like wow too great of an event to pass up. Looking back my 500 spent on the second event would have been more worth wild as they skewed the bundles more in their favor oppose to just letting us have something worth wild.

I didn't think so...someone up top said they got it, so I just had to ask,)
@PigBenis if they made the price point to get a single hero to double pink for $50 then the big spenders like drunken spending 500 would get all the heros to 10 pink in minutes and then they'd all complain there is nothing to do or reach for get bored and leave. Yes there needs to be a happy medium but using a thread praising NG to make comments repeated in hundereds of threads on these forums pretty much word for word in some instances needs to stop.
Thank you NG for the last few weeks keep it up!
PigBenis responded to a developer who happened to take course of topic instead of saying Thank you for the positive feedback they decided to go further discussing current event which lead to the rebuttal from a player. He isn't wrong in his posting and you touched on it with a happy medium, which I don't think there is a happy medium. I was a big spender to get into a top 3 guild and I accomplished that and then quickly lost interest in game when they decided to jack up prices while lowering what was received in bundles. Price goes up but product became less. This is a non real world game and typically in game purchases don't inflate, I do believe NG has learned from that mistake as bundles have gotten better, but they alienated themselves from their consumer base that did spend. Had NG not jacked up bundle prices I would have instant built everything and still might play more than a map here or there out of boredom when I am dropping a deuce.
But see I drifted off topic its easy to do so I revert back had @kaz not said anything other than thank you for the kind words then @PigBenis would have nothing to say. Therefore you or myself wouldn't have even posted about it here.
Further more above stated above it shows how out of touch NG Developers are with gamers in general.... Kaz should have known his comments would fuel a rebuttal and further aide in someone commenting or critiquing the current event. So either he knew and did it anyways or he didn't know and proves me point.
