I logged into the game and I received free 24 hour gas, 2x exp and 40 radios followed by a message saying thank you for your purchase but I didn’t buy anything though ?
It's a compensation sent to players who unlocked Survivalist Rick. We didn't send it last week because there was another compensation for players who were stuck in a loading loop due to Rick being broken in the outpost. Enjoy it!
I got it too. I have bought more weapons than I planned to of late and panicked when I saw it, I thought addiction had taken over and I'd bought something without realising
I am hearing of a lot of people receiving this. No one can deduce what it is for. @Kaz how hard would it be to say something in the news explaining this sort of thing before shipping it out? Yet again here I sit thinking, “am I just unlucky? Should I have mentioned some sort of recent connectivity issue that I had? Will I be getting this also with my restock? Does NG just hate me?”

Much appreciated! @Kaz. It wasn't something I really felt needed compensating as he's absolutely incredible leader position or not but I'll certainly take it!

It's not so simple as it sounds. We could have contacted our entire player base about a problem that they didn't have (and make everyone confused) or we could have sent the compensation only to the people who were affected by this specific case (which is less than 1500 users).
I do agree that being transparent is the way to go and I'm always open to discuss these issues with you guys. But we always have to consider the consequences of all our announcements and actions. Creating contact volume for the live and the support team affect our services to every other player, so, unfortunately, in this case, we decided to not make a big announcement.
To be clear, we are compensating the bad experience of unlocking Survivalist Rick and not being able to use him as players intended to. I know he's still a good hero and I know he'll be fixed in the next update. But I agree with players that they might have used their phones somewhere else if they knew that from the start, which is a valid complaint and definitely a bad experience.
I also understand that if you haven't unlocked him but made calls nonetheless, it's a bad experience still, but not so bad as the first one, since the usage of your phones will have the same value now or when it's fixed.
I'm sorry if players feel that this is unfair towards the players that didn't make calls or not enough to unlock Survivalist Rick. But hopefully, we won't be in this situation ever again.
So players who were able to unlock him, get to use him already and don't have to wait a month to get him will get a gift on top. Uh, makes perfect sense.
I also had a bad experience when the call wasn't there anymore when I wanted to make some more after getting more phones. I just didn't feel like complaining.
Maybe I should have.
But congrats anyway, you triple lucky folks.

@Kaz Thank you..... that is very generous. and certainly I welcome free gas and 2XP I have lots of new armor needing upgrading
@Kaz That is a very nice compensation to those that were able to unlock him and have been deprived of the opportunity to use him in the leader position. However in pulling the call that unlocks him 5 days early, NG deprived the rest of us the chance to use him at all (since this is the only way to get him). I'm not here to ask for compensation, but I do believe a "make-up" event is in order. Here is my proposal: the weekend before the update, run the old school Radioactive event - increased chance of phones AND increase number of radios in crates. Then, after the update drops - with fixed Rick - put a double token survivalist Rick call in the tent. I think this sounds fair - it offers an olive branch to everyone while still having us put in some effort to unlock. What do you think?
Uhh, this is amazing and I am super grateful. I thought unlocking Rick was the reward, and I was already happy. Now this on top? You guys are awesome. I only regret opening my game accidentally and triggering it at work.
I understand that whoever managed to unlock the new Rick has a clear advantage over all others, because the calls that would be active for 6 days have been canceled and these players can use the new Rick, while the others do not. Even if he is not a leader, he is very useful in the team, already brings benefits. I understand that the compensations must be for everyone, because they all lost. Many players do not unlock it because they knew they had six days to do it and many players spent many radios and failed to unlock due to the lack of luck in the calls, but in the same way they could have invested in other heroes their radios wasted. Therefore, I do not see justice in this decision, all have been harmed, so NG, please be fair and reward everyone equally.
I would like to formally request and give permission for some NG staffer to mess up something in my game. I think I’m around 2 weeks of gas and XP boosters that I’ve missed because of relatively smooth sailing.

And I don't care what anyone says. I've not used Survival Rick at all since the nerf.
Is he still good? Yes.
Is he worth benching my other survivors if he's not in the leader slot? Mmmmmm.... Not so much.
Thanks for the phones boss.

Our idea of simple must differ. Items are added in the “news” everyday. I will assume that due to that being an everyday occurrence that process has been made “simple”. With that being said it seems, to me at least, “Hey everyone, those of you who unlocked Rick but we’re unable to use him as leader, will be receiving...”, would have been a “simple” announcement to make.
> I got it too. I have bought more weapons than I planned to of late and panicked when I saw it, I thought addiction had taken over and I'd bought something without realising
Addiction clearly has taken over because now you’re spelling realizing with an S
Well I'm from the UK and we spell it with an S!
Of course I know that, however you folks change the version of English you're speaking depending on the current ruler. Although you'll be speaking the Queen's for another century since QEII is never going to die.

I slacked hard core last week, was trying to farm components. Sadly not much luck. I think I maybe broke 1200?

Congrats to all those you had saved enough radios or had the disposable income to buy rick, and then get rewarded sorry I mean compensated for the good fortune. Me salty? Never! 😜
@JayZ that's cool man. I'm trying to buff out my melee. Still no pinks worth mentioning other than Morgan has 6 star. He's a God Damn tank tho.
I'm gonna try to get a respectable score this week... We'll see ;-)

and people who have spent radios and have not been able to unlock it receive nothing.

I just assumed that it was for appeasing the dev gods with my apology for always asking for 2000 gold when I break something in the game.

I do not want your apologies, I want you to reevaluate this compensation.
