Showdown Suggestions Thread

Recommendation for Showdown:
Background: Often times the most difficult part of the Showdown contest is the early stages. Since there are no restrictions on the defense, and they are often just automatically set....users encounter extremely difficult teams early on. it is often not until these folks move into higher tiers that it becomes more manageable.
Solutions:
Option: Stronger limitation on talent levels/stars for Defense at the earlier Level. Right now allowing "no limitations" allows the strongest team to be present. if we limit the star level/talent/etc, it will be much easier for individuals to begin the fights in the professional leagues. The talent should be easier to defeat at lower levels, and becoming increasingly more difficult. Right now, it is just as difficult (even more difficult at early parts of the contest).
Reduced Notoriety Loss at Lower levels will allow so that teams are not impeded until higher levels.

The regular weekly Showdown is in such a terrible place right now. The amount of coins you get from winning matches are a pittance compared to how much you can get from special Showdown events, especially with the energy system in place. I would say the amount of coin rewards need a buff, but there's also another terrible system in place - the addition of Eras with classes.
At the moment, there is a propensity for the game to require Hall of Fame + Acrobat. It needed that for offense two weeks ago, and it needs it for defense this week. This is ridiculous because there are literally only two superstars in the game that meet this requirement, and the new Macho Man can't even be pulled anywhere at the moment (faction mates said something about him possibly being removed from loot pulls because of a right issue, but I have no idea if this is true or not). This means that the only person who fits this criteria is Bret Hart, who some people do have, but others don't, including myself. I actually have 310 characters now but I still haven't pulled HOF Bret Hart. That means that I just don't get to do the weekly Showdown either of these weeks outside of the first few matches. If HOF eras are going to be required so much, why not mix up the class instead of having it be only the rarest possible class combination for it?

screenshot of my lovely big roster included to show his long I've been playing this game for. Surely I am not the only user now locked out of Showdown due to this impossible criteria
0 -
....just to add to that - it's just occured to me that I can't even 'lose my way to a lower tier' because I cannot set a defensive team due to the HoF Highflyer requirement

This isn't a bug but I'll pass along to the team that it might be too difficult for newer players that didn't get the free bret hart to complete.
0 -
Can we PLEASE remove all of the ridiculous requirements and the ability to do only 6 matches a day for free? Pay to win is one thing, but pay to play? "Free" game huh.
I used to love Showdown! My best vs your best. Not anymore.

I would like to offer the idea of a special Showdown store that is only available during Showdown Events like this weekend (10/21/23-10/22/23). This would be a separate store than the one we have all week. So, this weekend we would have had two stores of items to use Showdown coins in.
This store could have shards for weekend CSS, additional shards for Showdown Coin Promoters as well as less seen other in game items (like 6 star HOF tokens or 5 star emerald/diamond tokens).
This would give us more options to spend the Showdown coins each month.
0 -
Another additional option could be past Showdown weekend posters. They could be the bottom row like Hogan, Shelton, Doink, etc. are today in the standard store.
I mean you can even put some plates in there for substantial coins. Shiek plate for 1 million coins or something like that.
You see it increasing the spend rate. Folks using more IGC to refresh, of more energy buys to keep getting more coins to get something.

Bump. I like this idea.

Agreed 100%

It's pretty hard to get started in a showdown when your defensive and offensive teams are already set and you're matched up with teams higher than both your offense and defense right from the start. Most times, I just skip showdowns now because I know bloody well I'm going to lose. Why bother trying in the first place?
My suggestion is to let us build up our strength and build up our notoriety points to fulfill the contest and keep the faction happy.

Most of the time, I am at the lowest tier to start because the difficulty is high to begin with

The mid-week/mid-day Showdowns with cutesy requirements where 50% of them work 40% of the time - please stop.
Like many people, I try to play this game competitively. I can't take time out of my work day every single week to set up my SD offense and defense, take note of which Milestones have Energy Packs so I don't claim them too soon, take note of what bonuses kick in when, and then actually start playing matches on a Monday or Wednesday afternoon because I need the Energy timer to start replenishing right away.
And if your answer is "you can always buy more energy in the store!" - that might be just a little too deliberate of a response for me to accept willfully.
I have played this game since its launch, and while I do not have any immediate plans to quit playing, the oversaturation of SD as a weekly game requirement has singularly made me consider it more than anything else ever has.

Having a 2-month MLC was a bad idea last time but it ended up being an even worse idea this year with the oversaturation of Showdown. I'm glad things return to "normal" next week.
The only positives I can list for this is that it's allowed those that were willing to do the Showdowns the opportunity to get lots of coins to redeem for store stuff in the future (if they didn't already have enough), and of course the event where even Scopely was getting tired of checking the rewards on these Showdown events and accidentally awarded 25k MLC points for every CSS win, making it easier for a large portion of the playerbase to max the MLC and get the Giovanni Vinci chase.

I have been playing this game since its launch. However, I am strongly considering retiring from it due to the oversaturation of mid-week/mid-day Showdowns. It seems like every week, we have a mid-week showdown.
Like many others, I strive to play this game competitively. However, I find it challenging to take time out of my workday to start playing matches once the SD begins to ensure the energy timer starts replenishing right away. We also have to keep track of which Milestones have Energy Packs so I don't claim them too soon.
My suggestion is to remove the energy limit, or preferably, to completely remove the mid-week Showdowns.

My suggestion for showdown is to just stop running them all the time. I am so sick of them. Boring contests, for lack lustre rewards and so constant. They are sapping any enjoyment from the game for me and others I've spoken to.

Last summer there were a couple of weeks where the Showdown was based on color. So you could only use one color. That seems fair and it makes you upgrade other Superstars as well. Why was it changed again?
Right now you only get 6 star silver and/or Clubber against which is useless and you can win anything. There must be a way to make it more fair.
How about when you start a the bottom you only get oppnents of 15000 max? And every time you climb the ladder the opponents get stronger. Now everybody can play more.
Oh and please stop the notoriety system. When you defence gets beaten you loose a lot of notoriety. But when they win you get nothing? That's really weird and unfair.

please add more showdowns instead of Blitz's or feuds
Please less the price of superstars on showdown shop

A year ago every week you'll only make a team of one color. That seems a little more fair because now everybody is using is't 6 Star Gold and/or Clubber (he is way too powerful), sometimes I can't even play 5 Showdowns a week because the opponents are way too strong.
Maybe another idea is you start at the bottom against opponents who's level is between 40000 and 50000 and everytime you up a level the opponents are getting stronger.
And yes, cut it out with a max of 6. Let us play.

A women's superstar showdown area, with new IWM superstars for something like Faction Experience or Faction Coins

MORE ATTACKS IN WEEKLY SHOWDOWN
0 -
Actually, do this, increase for Offense win x what you get x (x) if you have said IWM, take half of Original for Offense Loss, Say 50 was original, use Roman Reigns at Max (Acro +250%) then use Big Show (Showboat (same) is +250 Notoriety if win, -25 if lose. On Defense if use IWM and win get said percentage on IWM, if lose, same penalty as offensive

Honestly make the weekly showdowns competition, 1. Men Only, 1 Women Only, 1 Mixed. and Replace Nikki Bella IWM with Bayley

You already have the other 3 4HW in 3 other groups

i hope you devs will watch and read this comment.
SD revamp is badly designed now. Before revamp F2P could reach last leagues and last milestones for the simple fact that a victory was 100-200 points, and the tougher the opponent was the more points you were earning from a victory. Now whatever is the opponent you win at most 50 points. You cant sustain your point on new SD, ended up doing all battles to keep getting lower and lower because your defense team keeps getting one shot. You even sometimes earn less point with a victory than you lose with a defense loss. That cant be, needless to say reaching milestones is impossible regarding the difficulty of the opponent, you only have a very few options unless you spend 1000 $ a day and have all the characters built and ready... SD revamp is a no go. Need a rollback or revamp the revamp, but in the actual state it s a no go

This new Showdown would've been a lot easier to understand if the steel cage rules were not in place. Also 10 Showdown Coins per match is asinine. This new showdown was like being thrown into the deep end of the pool with no floaties on.

With the revamp of the SD, here are what I have observed so far and some suggestions.
New Notoriety rule seems decent for newer players, not losing Notoriety can be an incentive to attract them to play this mode. But where did the streak of winning increasing the gains go? Bring the winning streak back please.
Steel cage rules are a mixed bag.
Blanket nerfs(entourage, skill plates etc) are never a good thing. If there's to be some nerfs, make it a specific one( certain type of special gems, color moves, color gems etc).
Blanket nerfs favor greatly towards people who have 99mp posters (which most of the player base don't have yet at times).
By making the steel cage rules fair, it can be seen as strategy and fun. Right now, most of the time when there's a nerf, it is not.
SD shop with new currency is okay with new selection of shards and plates as well as the existing ones before. But the currency obtained per winning a match is too low. Need to be comparative or higher to the amount before. Also previous SD shop had 3 discounts(75/50/25) and new one has only one(50%). Please increase the number of discounted items. Either similar to beforehand, or to be more fun and exciting, make random items discounts(even the plates for example).
Since current new SD is considered as beta, hope to see improvements that can bring fun and joy for players to play this mode.

Please remove this new showdown update and return to old showdown mode. This new update sucks.

still a no go for me after losing all viva la raza milestones.
first of all, you should remove defense points loss and introduce defense points wins. if you lose you dont lose points, if you win you win a few points.
its impossible to progress in this new mode. time you win an encounter you're getting destroyed 6 times, like for real, you keep getting defeated more than three times in a minute. that s totally unfair. i went to do 50 encounters approx, win all but maybe 3… ended up at 2400points milestones, and failing to get rewards... this mode should be rewarding the farm, and keep the competition with the defensive points added when winning a defense.
this is really frustrating to give his best with a low roster, giving efforts, and see all these efforts destroyed in minutes. time entries reload, youre back to 1400 you climb it again and wait for reload... guess what youre back to 1400… i understand its a pvp competitive mode but then understand that you cant keep playing a game where you farm for nothing knowing youre playing drawing dead..
An other thing where has come the SD prizewall .. it was great and was offering good stuffs to prog your chars. now it s totally gone.
you've made pretty bad changes with new SD, i know you want this game to be p2w and you want money, but you made a f2p mode not accessible anymore locked behind an other paywall, think there is enough pay to play mode in this game, showdown should stay accessible and with farm and efforts you should be still able to access last milestones, like before the revamp.
