Is there anything being done to improve gas distribution in the game?

@Vane , @Fluxxx

Almost 3 weeks ago, several players complained about the new movie ads system here in the forum, as we are without enough gas to play.

There were several suggestions and ideas, but there was no statement or response from you.

Is there anything being done to improve gas distribution in the game?

Another observation, not being direct criticism of you, but I miss the Kaz, quick answers, daily interactions with us, on all the topics he was present in the forum. I miss more NG participation in our topics.

I can't think of anything other than "RIP NML".

I still think I get plenty enough gas to play as I please. And I really enjoy all the phones I'm getting from cinema.

That said, I agree with you on the communication. It has improved a bit in the past couple weeks, but I too would like to see it at Kaz-ian levels. Hopefully with full-time @fluxxx here, we will get back to that level of communications

I can't be efff'ed to do the math, but I think my 'overall' gas income is about the same. What the new system does is gives it to you in chunks, which are easily consumed. You get a pack of 10 chicken nuggets instead of a single nugget every few hours if you like. The only knock I have for the new system is that when you NEED that one or two gas top up to finish a challenge or distance mission, it's not there for the taking as in the old way. Other than that one minor tidbit, I'm quite happy with the new system. An easy way to put a tiny bit of gas back into the system is to let players get one every now & then from the walkers on the wall.

The gas economy is okay... only if you are willing to use gold to heal and play every 5 hours to not waste any gas.

I can get to RSL41.2 every week (2000-2100 stars) without a gas booster, but the only way to do that is if I don’t take breaks and use gold all day Sunday to heal my guys.

It would be great if gas costs for all challenge missions were reduced by 1. I think it is okay in Distance (especially with new format) and other game modes, but unbalanced in challenge.

What do you guys think? Seems like something NG can easily do without breaking the game economy or hurting their sales. The top players will still pay for boosters and gold for healing, but the casual players will benefit a lot from being able to play when it is convenient.

As shown by the favorable response to the new Distance schedule, there’s nothing more important than having the flexibility to enjoy the game when it’s convenient, instead of turning it into a grind. The grind is what drives loyal players and customers away.

Amount of gas was enough during the last 3 challenges only because the extra gas top of the regular sources.
During the week of ad-change we had the update gift 24h gas, next week the herd and last week the blockbuster event (5 min gas, 3hr ad).
Without these additional gas sources RSL40-41 in challenges wouldn't be possible.
I think we need a permanent solution for gas economy...

I was going to say that, is it really a coincidence that the 2 weeks since the change have both been ones which mean we get more gas? Let’s see how it goes when there is no extra gas from anywhere.

For the past few weeks we've been dealing with post-update issues and looking at the balance of the game (cinema cooldown change, reroll&reinforcement tokens, etc). But back to the point, gas distribution in the game is definitely something that we're discussing!

I apologize for not being active enough on the forums, there's been some things that I needed to sort out because they got a bit messy in Kaz's absence but I promise to be more active here 🙏

Thank you @Fluxxx we may ask a lot, may even get unreasonable at times... But the worst is when there's no response on NG's end. Show up, say "Hey," tell us "not in your wildest dreams," or just say how awesome a good ole @jenng GIF is. Just be around and interacting; that's good enough for me.

Fluxxx

Because I've only started recently, there's still some things that, for example, I don't want to say 'not in your dreams' to, without consulting relevant people about it first. In a way I'm still learning about our team's capabilities, how much time and effort certain changes take (and do they require an update) and so on. But regardless of that, I will be more active on the forum

The future now seem bright and clear in the apokalypse.
Thank's.

Why not put fuel in the walkers around camp, like during the herd? Will definitely help, and random how much we'll actually get.. just a thought if it hasn't been mentioned already.

Any reason for gas not present in gold crates? @Vane @Fluxxx

Firekid

Wow! 64% chance of XP! I knew it was high but that ludicrous! Lower chance of phones and gold than a silver ticket too (yes I know you get more in a good but you get gold less often too!) the only percentage I agree with in there is 12% chance of a component. Come on NG don’t be stingy! Reduce the XP to 50% and share the remains 14% equally from all the other rewards!

Please make gas available during the weekly in the Trade Goods shop, with tomato cans as the currency.

Thanks.

Lack of gas problem solved along with what to do with the Memorial Tent. You are all welcome.

Tested it. The effect is a little different than what I expected, though...

Just FYI, it's definitely possible to get to those levels without extra gas sources. I paid gold out the ass for healing, and I only let my gas sit full when I slept, but it can be done...
