I'm looking at it like this...we would have had a weekend event anyway, and Radioactive is a fairly common one. Yes, they did extend it for a day but that will only take away from time required to play the Distance (along with the reset) and next week is a GW week. Players are bitching about the grind from no RP but now you are telling me they are ok with it seeing as how they will get a couple hundred phones in post mission crates to use on calls that will most likely result in 64 survivor tokens instead of 32 with the doubled calls? The 2x calls running in close proximity does nothing for most players who have few phones. Only hoarders will take advantage of this event, otherwise 90% of the player base must pick and choose which calls to do to get their green goblins. Also, the radio calls end before Radioactive event, so we have even less opportunity to use them.

End gamers are sitting with full supplies and nothing to spend them on. XP is full as well since we just had 5s gear and survivor upgrades. This event running AGAIN in such close succession does little for me and likely most other players. Yes, I COULD farm XP to store, but that's not worth my time since I have so much upgraded already. It would have been MUCH better to offer legendary gear, phones, components, hero tokens in the TG shop for XP. Give players something to spend the XP on. Offer legendary weapons a la carte for 200 gold in gold shop even. Most of these events are very redundant in providing XP when it's clearly not needed by most.

Guild gifts half off...not sure about you but I get gas or XP 75+% of the time and that's the last thing I need considering the 6 day booster. The Jackpot Deluxe portion might be the best part of this event, but unless they remove the XP from crates or give us something worthwhile to spend it on it is just another thing that looks good on paper.

Healing Times halved...they have done this event the past few times on GW weekends if you hadn't noticed. We are robbing Peter to pay Paul here because we likely won't get it next weekend when it would be more beneficial. And I COULD push further this weekend in hopes of getting more RP for next week with the healing times halved, but the past 2 Challenge weeks have been fucked and I have absolutely no confidence that round passes will be back next week. When is the last time we had a smooth GW week? The best predictor of the future is the past.

So any of these events would be cool on a NORMAL weekend. But with such a fuckup happening, and running them all at once it is truly something that looks far better than it is. It's like a store giving a customer $1 million worth of free merchandise with the caveat being they could only take from the store what they could carry in their arms in a single trip.

Spread things out. Let us know when the radio calls will be active over the next 4 weekends so we can plan and accumulate phones. Give out 120 free phones prior to each special call so there is no need to waste time farming phones. Throw some nice legendary gear in the TG shop for XP so we can upgrade it this weekend.
