Why are the new icons behind the KoK pass? i wonder why since every icon was/is obtainable by playing the game.
6 -
Yeah, not a fan of the new characters being locked behind the KoK pass. Not that is expensive, still will be a bummer for a lot of free-to-play folks. I do commend tho the effort on putting better rewards on the KoK Prize Wall, cause a lot of seasoned players have enough of every single token being offered there.

My real concerns are on a couple things...
A: When CSS come up, that's going to be real tough if you have limited energy to get CSS done... ESPECIALLY doo doo cards... All those losses are going to pile up and not be as smooth sailing as SD currently worked for other CSS matches.
B: With this new energy system, if there's one very popular person showing up on peoples list to hit, who is to stop an entire faction from keeping that one person down? If they get hit by 20 people in the span of an overnight when they go to sleep, and wake up to an absolute insurmountable task to even break the most basic of milestones without attempting to go into the bonuses.
C: The fact the new promoters are walled off by the KoK shop is a real concern. It's the first promoter of any type being walled off by a strict paywall regardless of the price. SD now has become a 2-promoter system where you need to now have matching promoters, for 2 classes of cards, that now requires 2 of those cards to be walled off by KoK in order to get the biggest benefit towards gathering SD coins moving forward. If they released a $5 bag like they did for those first promoters, then maybe it's a different story and you only need 1 promoter, walled off by KoK, but even still that's a commitment in it's own right.
(Maybe?) D: IF AND IT'S A BIG IF... IF the events are based on gathering SD coins, it's going to be an absolute necessity to get those promoters juiced up to the moon in order to break even with the milestones that aren't even bonus ones.
I dunno, I obviously think it's a big concern, and a big set of problems that didn't really get addressed in the recent blog... I'm just hoping that the implementation of this isn't as horrible as it seems like it's going to be.

Firstly the Champions Team has forgotten why the Faction Invasion was withdrawn .
This new energy system for SD is just for looting the players . Looks like Scopely cannot resist anything being F2P .
Before bringing such unavailing energy system for SD , please fix the energy regeneration problem in Champions Portal . Every time the Portal is opened , the regeneration timer resets i.e. back to 8 hrs .

I think this nails everything. It could be a really cool switch but I have a LOT of concerns.

im willing to give it a shot but energy system things rarely work out and keep ppl engaged. Sd was already a mode most ppl only did when it was the week events..
on top of that we get 6 new icons that are locked behind a paywall idk how making someone pay to be better at a mode is fair but ok. On top of that icon tokens are so hard to come by most top players are still trying to get tokens for ppl we had we get at most 1-3 a day sometimes your lucky and get 10 but rare.
i myself have 9 5sg promoters right now and only 45 gold tokens left if your going to bing even more ppl in I think we need a way to get more icon tokens a day the way it is now it takes 2 weeks about to take One icon from 5ss to 5sg if u had 0 tokens.
like I said I don’t love all this but willing to give it a shot maybe I’m totally wrong and it won’t be so bad but these are a few of my thoughts as of now

Get rid of the energy system and get the new IOW set out where everyone can access them and then maybe this is a fun update. As it is now, for me this kills any interest i had in showdown.
All you needed to do was revamp the match making and update the store. Nothing else was really needed, including another set of IOWs.
I honestly don't get it.

Or Plan B:
Wait until the first actual Showdown Tournament goes live with all the changes. Then you see the full potential of every improvement and how it affects/benefits you in the end. :)

I am one to try things out before immediately saying that something is dumb anything like that. I have no issues with the new promoters being behind KOK as long as there isn't a coin component in competitions. I agree with most of 2bob’s other comments. If we can get some clarity on those issues, that would be great.

Putting a energy system on the mode is a blatant cash grab. For all the people who have to work I see this as huge issue. I do showdown on day 2 while on lunch at work and the hr I have after before it resets. People should not have to pay anything to compete in a game mode. What next faction boss, feud? Sounds like game is heading to get their players to pay or quit.

I am in the player group that has always had to work twice or thrice as hard as other players to achieve what I want in showdown events.
If everyone is on the same playing field of having the same number of matches per day, or a few extra matches with pay-per-play, I have to assume that I will fall behind because I can no longer put in the extra work to achieve what comes so easily to other players.
That's the basic math that's easy to do when I hear the words "energy system" - I don't need to play the mode to understand that.
3 -
Why? So you can say it's too late to change course now that its gone live?
7 -
Absolutely terrible idea to lock the promoters behind a pay wall. Only way to make it somewhat fair is if you increase the number of coins you can get each from the KOK tour.
2 -
Locked promoters behind paywall?Any interest I had in the updated SD is now gone.
4 -
Absolutely ridiculous 🙄 and not a smart business decision. Do you really want people to still play the game or just quit 🤔. This is a terrible idea.
6 -
As a community,don't you think we pump enough money into your pockets as it is??Why update Showdown only to try and squeeze every blood penny out of us yet again??Why does every new update in this game have to cost us anything??I'm sorry,but I am frustrated that we have to pay anything for these new promoters for us to even be relevant in this mode.This feels like a giant slap in the face to your loyal player base.

Bruh, you're a community manager. All due respect, can't you see how it might kinda be a really bad look to give a really snarky response to feedback Scopely asked for? I know you're trying to do your job dude, but come on. Be better. It's this kinda stuff that makes Scopely look bad and makes people who try to give y'all the benefit of the doubt out in the community (myself included) look like clowns. A tonal shift is ALL it would take to make the spirit of what you're saying a totally reasonable response. You CHOSE not to do that. Disappointing.

Replying for awareness about the Web portal because yeah, with that current bug you can now only get 2 Energies tops a day.
3 -
This. This is the situation in a nutshell. I agree with the principle of what he's saying - wait and see before you bash it. But this, to call it what it is, is frankly patronising and insulting to the entire player base.
And you all wonder why we have no faith in what you tell us.

Might as well disable the showdown for New Players(I am league 7). I had to spend all my tokens to get 1 technician (another one I got from a web login). I maxed up the new technician I got (till I could). And tried searching for opponents(My tag team's power is 5.3k) and all my opponent's power is above 26k. Does it make sense to force new players who have small rosters to have fixed-class defense/offense?
6 -
For the record, now that we're on day 1, I stand by everything I said and would like to add:
-resetting everyone to zero notoriety is a crappy thing to do
-6 matches with 1 regeneration per 4 hours is way too low and slow
-paying 10USD for 12 energy is a non-starter
-restricting who we can use on both offense and defense was a poor choice (I assume this is going to rotate each day?)
6 -
Colour me shocked - it blows.
Energy system - badly implemented
Limiting superstar types that can be used - nonsensical, assume this will eventually be used in contests etc?
Matchmaking - possible this will sort itself as more games are played, but as stated above, you should NOT be getting matched up against teams with nearly double your talent.
Probably a waste of time to ask, but was any of this tested before launch?

Wait years to update showdown,ruin it and no doubt the weekend showdown event by having terrible reload times for energy UNLESS people spend cash. Bullshit scopely at it's finest
3 -
i now can NOT even choose my own combination of a team, i am forced to have the same style wrestlers to compete against the "same style" opponents for a week? PLUS i'm now required to pay 10 dollars in order to keep playing matches or wait 3 hours? monetizing on bottle energy, are you ******* serious? this might be the main reason i stop playing or buy anything else... stupid decisions like this. oh HELL NO.

i want to any superstar like old showdown
2 -
The new showdown is just a garbage game. Why is it getting worse and worse? It's really puzzling. Cancel the energy. Thank you
1 -
please give us more energy or shorten the time to regenerate. and color pairings are unfair to tags links
4 -
Tbh I don't like that i cannot set up any superstar for defense/attack
Sucks that i have to use a specific kind of superstars to play the sd. Killing the fun
Wonder if there will be any sd event, how it would work considering the limit on energy system.
Sad that new promoters are behind a pay wall.
On the other side is great to have some shards for Superstars like shelton Benjamin (acro) on sd store.

So Champions is now turning into candy crush? Purchase energy to move further? I really thought you guys were better than this! We give enough with all the passes and subscriptions.
