Bring balance to the game

Der gulp

I’m playing the game since early 2018 (with some „sabbatical months” offline) and returned full-time early November this year, so I saw a lot of changes, improvements, nerfed stuff, and different factions. Yes, here and there I even spend some money but I’m far away from being considered a whale. (contemplating buying today’s offer Carmella, monthly’s offer Bayley)

I really still enjoy the game and of course there are some things which not only bother me but the whole “mid card” community.

Scopely did a lot of changes when 4 stars where introduced in, I guess, Summer 2018. When I returned and 5 stars is being the new talk in town now I saw some changes on the daily tours – giving tokens which were more sparsely given in the past in order to help new players with smaller rosters develop faster, or for me, push 2* and 3* superstars faster than before 5* introduction. (definitely on the pro side!)

Most of the new mechanics are decently integrated, ie. Faction shop, belts and plates, league system. Others need a work around / improvement, ie Showdown (opponents should be evenly balanced, like feuds are doing in regard of superstars’ talent level), Vaults (interesting only for TOP 50 factions), older The Road tours (hence league 12’s Madrid stipulation), and, most of all, events’ rewards for the mid card community.

The mid card community I’m referring to are the players with good, long-term experience, organized in the 50 to 150 (feud) faction range who are spending couple of bugs each month. You also can call us the WWE Champions Society Gap (as there are the rich = whales, and the poor = newbies / everything below Top 150 / non-money spenders / without good organized factions, and the gap / we mid carders in between). We are the ones who are addressing most of this forum’s discussions, pointing out balance issues and stuff concerning rewards. I don’t want to start another one of this kind of posts (complaining on how bad the game is etc.), my “goal” is solely based on my experience in order to generate more awareness for the core gamers of the game to Scopely. Recently checked the company is changing each months’ event rewards big time, so when you are not having nearly infinite resources it’s hard to accomplish things like kick off evo events, even so having planned and calculated what and how much to invest on basis of last month’s kick off event. Next are prize wall MLE rewards, November was real fine, December is not as the company nerfed the return of investment drastically.

I could say, the company is only focusing on Top Tier factions / players / whales but (despite subscriptions / vaults) they are getting hit hard by the nerfs, too – just look at the recent 12 day of X-Mas events to spend money for loot coins vs. the ridiculous pull rates. The company would do good to really embrace all of its players, no matter on which of the 3 groups they are in. Otherwise the gap and imbalance will be getting bigger and bigger until this game turns into a mis-improved behemoth.

So, fellow Champions, have fun kicking ass and chewing bubble gum ;)

Agree 100%, I am also part of the MidCard Community that Scopely ignores...woohoo 5SS, will care about that when I get my 1st 4SG
