    As a team, it seems you all have strived to make Showdown a completely irrelevant game mode. Ever since we have gone away from the original showdown format where we could all hope to replenish our coins via the solo contest and tokens via the faction contest, the "inventive" new contests have gotten worse and worse.


    This one is a new low.


    1. Solo contest only, no faction element.

    2. 3 tours, 2 of which most people can't do, with very rare bonus characters.

    3. Completely unrealistic solo milestones which can only be reached by spending a SIGNIFICANT amount of money.

    4. Ridiculous bonus character expectations for the SD event.

    5. Vast majority of coins "available" in the contest locked behind the spendy milestones.

    6. Utterly lackluster prizes available in the reachable milestones.

    7. Laughable prizewall costs


    Did I miss anything?

    It was fun but the fun did’nt last long and the character did’nt progress as far as he could’ve.

    I don't get all points for winning SD match with bonus character, for example nikki hof I played 5 times but I got extra points only 3 times

    Hi.

    In the individual event I just reached for the attached chest in the picture, but it only gave me the prizes that I have marked in red.

    The first time something like this has happened to me, although I had already had problems when counting the scores obtained in the event itself.

    right now the distaste I have for showdown is unbearable. Honest feedback is that this was one for the ages as far as finding matches, the usage of coins for a refresh. The attack time with no cool down, the issue with revenge log, milestones that really unachievable, the amount of rare characters needed....I mean the list can go on and on. The one thing I loved about this game was showdown, it’s becoming a patterned that needs to be checked. It’s was pointless to even try unless you opened the wallet, and I’m sorry but for this at least for me was not the case.

    Showdown is a complete waste of time in it’s current shape, which is a pity since it once was one of the most liked features.

    While coins are needed in higher demands, all ways to get coins are taken away from this game. SD was the best way to get those. Nowadays SD actually costs more than you can earn, due to the crazy amount of unavailable opponents and the must to refresh them and the coins it costs.

    Next to that HoF are basically all paywall characters. To then give only those characters (and Honky Tonk) contest points make this the easiest SD to ever pass on.

    This showdown was another waste essentially. Having just a solo element isn't that nice. It WOULD be nice if there were more benefits like, I don't know how old showdown was and you could make 6 or 7 mil in coins. The time and effort is not worth it.

    It is a shame how strict the characters for bonus points were as well. When you look at it on paper I don't even see how it seemed to be a good idea. At this point bring invasion back instead of showdown. It literally is the worst

    I hate that the concept of "bonus" rewards has been spun on its head to mean "rewards relevant to the event". The bonus rewards for using certain characters should be just that...a bonus. The prizewall currency is the whole point of an event like this. Its not a "bonus". The prizewall currency should be the normal first time reward and the character bonus should be the unrelated items.

    Pro- the biggest bonus to this event was the lack of faction event. People were more free to pick and choose their involvement. Have time and all the hof characters go hard for what was some decent prizes. No time no hof dona little bit and gain the smaller prizes or just skip it completely. Your faction was not relying on you and your spot was not at risk. While it’s not devs job to worry about people keeping their spots in a faction it is a good thing if they understand the requirements and basis the playerbase have enacted.


    neg- the largest part of the negative comes down to the characters required for bonus points. Don’t have multiple hofers and specifically missing slaughter and Austin well good luck getting anywhere. Even the bare bones common character like htm and trick slaughter aren’t the most common. Beyond that the normal sd issues of an abundance of being hit every time you start a match and the inability to push upwards plagued this event.

    Pros: it’s difficult to find pros with this contest. The best thing was probably the coins in the event milestones and the pw for the ht coins had some pretty good stuff on there. The straps, coins, and blitz tickets there were good.

    Cons: The tours were already locked down requiring the HOF specific versions of three superstars. Requiring normal sarge, and a showboat female after that just to play for the normal rewards was lame. Sarge isn’t that great and doesn’t have a point above 9k for training. Not to mention people still don’t have him that would have after the Independence Day blitz fiasco (still not resolved btw). It would have been much better to do the HTM HOF tour locked behind him, Then open m/f tours with bonuses behind any HOF. Still very restrictive due to the talent needed to complete it, but doesn’t lock people out of some of the normal rewards. No faction event diminished participation from the community, and leaves me wondering where some more faction and MLC points will come from to make up for it. The loot pulls were not great either. Desperately need a pity pill system or something similar

    Showdown itself is still a big mess. As everyone has stated, attack timer is way off, matchups are nowhere near balanced, and hackers still run rampant.

    As for the contest, there are some positives to take away...

    I liked the prizewall having resources that we definitely need.

    There were some pretty decent offers (for scopely standards).

    The tours were decently open.


    On the flip side there were also negatives.

    The milestones were very much out of reach unless you spend, and the fact that maxing did not guarantee the HTM card, to me, is very unacceptable. Spending to max this event should have AT LEAST granted a 2sb version of the character. I realize you probably made a lot of money on this event, but you left triple that amount on the table I assure you.

    Hell mode of the tours was unbearable. Unless you had a max 4sg strapped HOF character, u likely weren’t getting the bonus reward. Tours need to stop evololving before everything else. We need to be able to play to have fun and we need to be able to have fun to spend. Once again, so much money is left on the table.


    overall I give the event a C+.

    Copy and paste event with RNG shard bags in the milestones. Not much incentive to spend as it gives little progress in the contest as well as little chance to recruit the chase superstar since the shard recruit level is 2000. A simple take what you can get for free and run event. The requirements for the event were hit and miss. A lot of points locked behind elusive superstars which instantly puts most players out of the running which in return takes away incentive to aim to max. Rewards were okay but still a long way away from what we require considering the current meta at 5SS. Blitz tickets being available on the prizewall was much needed. The portal free rewards were a positive.

    Pros- resources on prizewall and milestones. Better shard drop rate and character.


    Cons- requiring garbage characters in first slot like piper, tours being locked down. Sd matchmaking sucks for most people. Milestones were too difficult for most. No anti bleed strap on prize wall

  • Pro: Tours were fine. Solo contest only made it not mandatory to play.

    Cons: Showdown still broken. Couldn’t get past 600 notoriety at any point. Put it down and didn’t waste my weekend on it.

  • The money spent on pulls to try and max event due to not having the proper characters was outrageous. Plus the pulls themselves were low level prize coins or useless shards

  • I worked my ass off for this characters and didn't get him and I wont to know why??
