Increased drop rates over the weekends

kenken9

sorry, cause i know has the increased drop rate started? i'm on the time zone of gmt+8. so i'm kinda unsure how long more to weekend on the server side.

TK-421

It's live now.

Putchuco

Had the exact same thought now.
Does it start 'RIGHT NOW' ? Until end of Sunday, .... xx hours timezone xyz...?

TK-421

Yes, it's live RIGHT NOW and will last until Sunday evening midnight UTC.

Thanks a bunch for the clarification.
I imagined you rolling your eyes about our nitpicking.... LOL

pullfront

Great news TK - thank you!

Putchuco

I tried 3x 15 radios, got another three Rare, making it a total of 11 Rare for me with v1.3...

Going back on my fence, waiting there.

Not your fault, but this makes me even more depressed...

NieGoleBobra

4x15 and "only" 4x epic shooter, warrior, hunter and assault all 10/17

Is the drop rate for epic and legendary rate is increased for 1 and 5 radio calls also?? Or only for 15 radio calls??

We've increased the drop rates for Epic and Legendary survivors for the whole weekend. Been saving up some radios? Now is the time to use them.

I'm so suspicious, that I see in this announcement a trap The whole weekend we are throwing away all our radios... and a great surprise the next week! Or maybe I'm wrong?
Going crazy!!! Stop that! My precious.... My radios!!! Nobody will take it from us! Shhhh...!!!

Putchuco

@facemanak , I laughed so hard!
You perfectly expressed my feelings right here and there!

@pullfront did you use 15-radio buys?

Verbaub

In the name of science, I did a bunch of 1-radio buys and 5-radio buys (I need the xp anyway for upgrades ).
Best I got was a Rare. Thinking this may be limited to 15-radio buys, but I hope someone will prove me wrong.

Morgan

Do you guys find it difficult to get hunters or is it just me?

Verbaub

I can't get Shooters - have gotten several decent Hunters (Rare).
Wanna swap RNG vibes??

Owlkapwn

@Morgan I have too many hunters!

Owlkapwn

2 15 calls;

1) Epic Warrior

1)Rare Hunter

How is the max level determined? I did 3x 15, (2x epic survivors, 1x rare) but they are all */13. Do I need to upgrade my Radio Tower to get */15? Thanks.

increasing radio tent will increase the beginning level and the max level of survivors.

zoson

@TK-421 Does this include 1 and 5 radio callouts?

Yes I would like to know this too prior to using my 215 radios I've saved up for this opportunity.

Sorry for my english, I'm from Germany. When I increase the radio tent level, it increases the starting level. Also increases the maximum level? Will it also increase the chances for a legandary?

Putchuco

My guess would be yes on the first, and probably no on the 2nd.
Resulting in the connundrum to take advantage of the spposedly higher drop rates this weeend or wait until we can upgrade buildings again with v1.4...

@TK-421
Here's my taught on the "event".
1. The most sought after resources are gas and radios. Both are non existent in the game ATM. The RNG for these is flawed. You can't play the game because you can't get gas because the drop rate is so low, you can't get radios because the drop rate is so low.
2. Ads are a waste, I can only hold 15 gas. I play three missions, I get all food and xp as a reward. I use all cinema and mission ads and get one uncommon weapon and the rest is...... Yes food and xp.
3. Notice, why not give some notice of " upcoming event" ? You don't need to tell us specifically what. But a heads up of at type would be great. I used my radios an hour before you posted here!
4. Communication. In the last update notes I read nothing about reducing the drop rates of radios and survivors quality, yet it was the biggest thing in the release.

I really hope one of you read this and take it as constructive critisism . I'm playing since day one but I'm getting a little lost at the moment.

Edit:
1x15 radio call 3* 3/12 Hunter=Reject

jureforjustice

I went ahead and did six 15 radio calls

x/15 Epic bruiser
x/15 Epic scout
x/13 Rare scout
x/15 Epic assault
x/1 Epic warrior
x/16 Legendary shooter

Liking the results, I did the most reasonable thing a gambler would do, continued and grabbed 8 more.

received 3 rares, 3 epic (bruiser, shooter, warrrior), and another legendary shooter.

Results
14x15 radio calls. 210 radios total
2 legendarys
8 Epics
4 Rares

Decided to test it, dumped over 20 radios into single 1x calls. all commons, uncommons, and just one rare.

Yikes! Thanks for testing the single radios out. You saved me from doing it myself. I guess I'll stick to the 15 radio calls.
