SummerSlam 92 Scrimmage Contest

colonel1086

After completing all the bonus matches that I had charactures for, buying the requisite single pull for merer points and doing the normal SD for SD coins I did the math. After sifting through maxed 5sg with maxed perks for what semed like days I still needed to do 147 more matches to get to the all important 10th milestone for the 'free' guy. Considering my real life does exsist, I resigned myself to the 9th milestone and called it a day. Congrats to those that made it, but my wife was on her last straw. My suggestion to scopley, there are more than single, money spending whales that play this game, try thinking of us for a change.

Found it so much better to get an actual reward for grinding it out.

Far to often you have to grind for hours for little or not that good a reward.

This was a far better way to keep the community interested, and it didn’t matter if you are a spender or free to play, I thought it was fairly even.

I've played the event and thought it was difficult. I was hitting a wall the whole time and wasn't able to get the card. Maybe it's an idea to get the card in the first reward and then you can upgrade him through all the awards. Every player that is on my level or lower was not able to get the card

Once i saw where davey was i was skeptical about my odds, and was about to write off this contest like every other showdown. However i was impressed at the amount of people both in and out of my faction that were able to obtain bulldog. Sadly i was not one of them due to circumstances i couldn't controll, like loading and whether related problems with my internet, but this is a step in the right direction!

If i had to offer criticism, it would be of how many points you needed vs how many you were given per match. I would either slightly lower the score requirement to obtain the poster, ot slightly increase the amount of points per match to minimize the amound of people like myself who lost a night of sleep this weekend to try (and fail in my case) to get bulldog.

On a related note, the amiunt of shards that were given was kind if nuts. For the first time ever i actually want to chase a showdown character in future events, so that's something else i would say is a plus. Overall: i welcome this new direction for showdown. Hopefully future showdown weekends will be more like this in the future!

I preferred the set up for this showdown. I like having events that reward effort. If someone had the time, they could have got a guaranteed new character without spending. This reward setup is way better than maxing an event and still not getting a character since it would need the luck of pulling a character from bags or spending to get them .

Since we have less weekend showdowns (and now midweek ones to replace some blitzes), they should do all the weekend showdowns like this. Rewarding effort is a good way to support f2p players that put time into the game and don't spend. I hope they continue doing weekend showdowns like this.

Character is nice but again it’s almost impossible to get him or any other good new character , even if we spend real money se end up short of shards and then it’s almost impossible to fill the rest of the shards because a new character comes out and there is no new event for old characters .

i would love to be able to get some general shards and be able to choose in which wrestler I can use them , else the game becomes boring and unless we spend our whole salary on scopely we don’t get any good rewards .

I am very hopeful that Scopely will take on board the positive feedback here. Every event doesn’t need to be grindable, but one a month would be amazing, would give the player base something, and hopefully won’t hurt their bottom line.

Yes, this has happened because of a mistake, but I had been positive for the community.

Generally, the requirements were good. Not too high, not too low. If you wanted to sit for 6 hours and grind it out you could. If not, no issue.

Again, additionally, the prize wall had a good selection of skill plates and shards.

Successful first weekend.

Fantastic event for a change! Even though I fully believe it wouldn't have been like this had it not been for the v.i.p. screw up earlier in the week, the ability to grind for milestones/character is all many of us have ever asked for. I had no problem spending more time playing this weekend than I would have for a normal showdown event. I hope you took note of the positive reactions from this contest and continue to structure milestones and new characters so they are achievable through play and not stuck behind a paywall.

Great event Scopely. Took some grinding but I got all the way to the the final bonus milestone and I really didn't have to spend. This is the kind of event I like to see.

If you're out here complaining about this event (and GAME for that matter), you need to re-evaluate yourself. If you weren't effected by the mistake Scopely made then you have no room to complain. Those that were effected got compensated fairly.

This was a completely reasonable event. Guaranteed free poster. All you had to do is put some effort in. If you feel its too much work for a game, find another game. Its that simple. Stop complaining and asking for handouts.

Scopely is going to make mistakes. No one is perfect.

WolfpacKliq

Wish I was able to grind more and be able to get Bulldog! Any other time he would be mine! Glad Scopley and WWE are trying to keep the F2P players afloat! Like where Scopley is thinking to get guys at 3SB on a weekend event! Keep it up!

Need an option for the TP, like how the coins are done where you can select upping more than 1.

Look at prices in the store. They've gone up 200% from previous years. It's a game for the community remember.

rranarchy

It was decent. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get character due to non active faction and not having all needed characters .. faction is on me though. I'm in that because of my kids

RimShotKing

The event was great! Yeah there was a bit of a grind element involved and the bonus levels after the card were achievable. I appreciated that even after I had maxed out what my SD coins and my character bonuses, I could continue to work towards whatever goal I wanted for myself with what was left over and my only option was not spending. Thank you! I’ve played this game for 4 years now and this I felt was the most balanced SD tournament we’ve done to date.

This was a great event. Having the option to play for the entire time and be able to finish the event actually encouraged me to spend more to get the better prizes. I enjoy events that keep me interested in playing the game. It was also nice to be able to get 2 great skill plates by completing the event in total or getting a better plate by spending some more. The scoring for the faction event was also simple enough to allow everyone to able to participate and do their part if they played the tours and did some talent up. I would love to see more events like this one in the future.

Was always going to be a difficult weekend for Scopely to balance and I have to say it was nice to know that the grind guaranteed the superstar (albeit it at 3sb not 4ss) but I actually managed to collect the shards to get him from the tours and in maxing the event. Yes 600 showdowns this weekend felt like a lot but I could have spent 250 matches before that to get him.

Obviously a lot of this happened because there were errors at the start of the week - this slightly redeemed it for me - I know others who didn't manage to grind out the matches or read the unlimited matches that would score points will feel differently/

The disappointment for me was the blog changing from "nobody will be sent the bulldog to their inbox to avoid the 500K solo points for first 24 hour claim" to him being sent anyway - unfair - the equivalent of 87 matches that others had to do to get those same points.

Rtlchivas

This was the perfect mix of grinding, having bonus characters to help reduce the grind, and faction milestones to help everyone reduce the grind together. Had to do a TON of matches, but was worth it for a 4* silver event card and got Earthquake finally. Only thing I had hoped for was being able to use Bulldog once I got him for more points in Showdown, but other than that, it was a fun event

paigepaige

I love this game

I think this could be the best ever game

Summer slam is the best contest

I love it sad for not getting british bull dog from contest

I think you could help me to get bull dog

My favorite of all time head of the table i wish i have him

People had been asking for a long time for a situation like this. Let us earn the weekend character. You did that. I would like it to continue. Where you failed was rewarding people that took advantage of a glitch. You have them all the rewards that they cheated ti get and made it so they got the character. Honestly everyone should have been able to get all the stuff they received and honestly more since we didn’t manipulate the system. How about instead of worrying about all the mediocre bs that your top spenders worry about, you fix all the glitches and issues and red rings. That’s a priority. Not being able to see what trainers are in someone during feud. Priorities stop worrying about 1% of your player base and start making a better more more entertaining playing environment.

I thought this contest was a grind but by far the most fair across the board. Anyone with time had a chance at several new characters and the faction goals were reasonable as well. Throughly enjoyed this Showdown Scrimmage!

MaxGod

Decreasing rewards and increasing Tps and coins to max is very discouraging for the players.

I wished there was something that could help newer players as well as free guys against the top players but it's not possible.

Grinding 400 matches, without top tier guys is impossible and that too if you have a whole day which many of us don't. The bulldog event was just fine but making it the last free milestone was a bad choice from u guys.. I don't know why you guys think that we all are equal but in reality we're not.

Last month was fun but this is really not up to the mark.We are so out of Tps and coins but u guys chose to decresce the rewards.

I would love to get new characters from bags just once but no it's not possible but others keep on getting new.

Pls do something for newer players

I have very mixed emotions over this contest. I walked away with 4 top tier cards this weekend and I’ve never wanted to quit playing this game more than I do today. You tell everyone they would have a chance at the Bulldog which was total Bs. You guys knew it was a holiday weekend and made it so people had to play on average of 15 hours if they wanted a chance. I put in 16 hours and $140 to get Bulldog. You guys probably did this knowing it was a holiday weekend so people would be out with there family’s and not many would get the card.

I will say it was very cool EVERY SD match gave us points which is never the case. Normall you have to max both days and of course spend at least $150 to get close to maxing a event. It would be nice to see the every match gets points in EVERY EVENT GOING FOWARD but we won’t hold our breath on that.

also the superstars in the loot pulls where awful. Out of $140 in pulls more than half of them where big boss man. Yet again another useless card no one will ever use.

i continue to try and give you guys the venison of the doubt but every event gets me closer and closer to not playing anymore. It would be great if you guys actually listened to us. It’s pretty pointless you guys ask our feedback every event when you know 80% of us are so tired of you guys doing crappy things like this to your community

ALLENRED

Free character.. yea right fought for 2 days and j didn't have but triple h and Brett hart and finished the RA AND THE NEW GEN and only got to milestone 7.. no new character for me.. thanks alot and my nwo hogan does not work as. A trainer

Mattallicas

This event was brilliant a step in the right direction the top rewards should always be avaliable to free to play players who are happy to put the time in and shouldn't be pay walled. We'll. Done for this event and please don't go backwards and back to the old teors where even if you had all the required superstars you can't chase the character.

Swfccarl

Great event scopely finally something to play with out spending a fortune hoping this will continue in upcoming events

Spykid

10/10 !

PLEASE MAKE THIS KIND OF SHOWDOWN EVENT A COMMON THING OR JUST DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS ONCE A MONTH.

Everything was great about this event .

Bulldog is a great addition to the game and to anyone's roster. New skill plate is also very strong.

Tours were easy and rewarding. Css requirements were not too hard .

Solo contest was phenomenal and finally I was able to max a event after a very long time . It was time consuming but atleast everyone had the chance to not only get bulldog but also get the new plate as well!

Faction event was great . The bags especially were amazing , a lot of people were able to get new Superstars because of them.

No complaints 👌

Thanks you for this event.

Couppa_Haytahs87

Instead of grinding a ridiculous amount of matches I spent time with my family. Another bullshit competition

HulkDizzy

Last milestone was not obtainable. It should have been at 5,5m not 6m. Game should be fun. This was not fun, grind is OK but at some limits, let's say top should be 6 hours in the game during 24 hours. What you asked from us to do was much much more. Not fun. Also whole Event would be totally impossible if so many players didn't put easiest Tag Team to go against let's be 100% honest. Without participating of huge part of community any milestone above 9 would be impossible so thanks everyone who made Fair Play. And Tour for Bulldog is partly unplayable to mention that. So 4*s is not reachable. At the end this is interesting concept but needs to be work through. Players want to have fun, remember this...

Ev1l

The event itself was quite strong and grabbing a char as a reward is good, but there is still one criticism that it was very tough to get to the char at all, possibly increase points for a fight or down the total number of points in and of itself but if it went in the right direction, then playing is fun again

MidnightSaintz

The characters required for the showdown were ones that are difficult to grab. I was only able to do the basic ones, but if you don't have characters like 1-2-3 kid you are not likely going to get him.

I am a free to play individual, so I have to grind hard on every event, so I wish all events were more free to play friendly :(

heyitsceleste

Okay, we're gonna ignore the elephant in the room because it's frankly not important

Pros: it was actually grindable. I missed out on a full max, but there was no money spent from me, and the lack of max was my own fault

Tour requirements suuuuper open. There were rare cc's, but they didn't make a ton of impact on whether you maxed it or not

Cons: I'd like to see the actual Showdown go down at the same time the contest and tours do.

Another con I suppose is that I know this format in this way isn't sticking around. It really really should because it was actually super fun and interesting, and gave people incentive to throw everything at it to finish up. I'd love to see this at least once a month.

Final con is the prizewall, you have certain older scrimmage characters available through shards but not others? I'd like to see these rotated from time to time.

In conclusion, I understand this was due to the mishap, but please consider launching an event like this. Despite the vocal minority being.... vocal, this contest was excellent and could be just the thing needed to spice up showdown and make it worth our time
