A Brand New Showdown Experience
Comments

Not good at all only 6 matches a week kind bad.
You should start everyone with 24 energy that refresh at a rate of 1 per hour
If you can 1 turn opponent should take half energy not whole one.
This as currently stands not good at all for majority of players.
Having to use certain class is questionable for whole showdown I'd like see class change per match that would make it interesting but not both spots being same.
If this stays as it is might be last straw for many as game is becoming more and more about spending

hmmmmm
1 I want to say Iβm concerned on several things to this new sd mode
1. The energy system is gonna make it hard to get up in ranks vs those using igc/cash to buy the energy to get ahead
2. The fact you now will tell us who we can use for sd def is just a bad idea all together in my book
3. Before we just had to build up good sd def now you want us to get atleast 2 in each classes seems a bit harsh for lower guys with not so many big cards
4 last I wanna say the locking things behind kok sub is just bit to greedy from the companies side

Similar thoughts ,So like yea why stop now, finish the rest off n charge for playing anything remotely fun

This new game mode is pure TRASH. And then to tell me i cant use who i want is RIDICULOUS. No i dont wanna be forced to used tech when i built up some one else for my SD def. And to pay for energy is pure BS

Never cared for SD personally, was always a pay to win facet of the game. Then the perk system absolutely destroyed any fun that could have been had. Add trainers so that you lose 5 times more than you gain, then put more trainers behind a pay wall, the cherry on top is an energy system behind a paywall...Not to mention limiting the posters that can be used... I don't know who is in charge, but they need to be talked to...count me out...again

I personally have no desire to play this. I dont like the fact that once I use energy I have to wait around to be able to play again. I am more likely to put the game away and not play as much as if there was no energy cap. You did the same thing to trivia. I used to enjoy playing and gaining coins to use for the flash market, but when energy got capped I quit playing. You are driving more players away with these restrictions. This game used to be fun, but with every change its becoming less and less desirable to play.

The new showdown is way worse than the old one. Less matches available, forced to use certain classes, the prizes are way too expensive. Why change it & make it so terrible? This game is dying fast & you are driving people away. Are you trying to kill the game?

Pros:
- The store rewards are a nice change
- I like you can see all 3 opponents at once
Cons:
- The energy restriction is ridiculous that should remain unlimited
- Tag links are completely eliminated with this set up
- Time it will take to earn enough to buy anything from the store will be extremely long
- Free to Play players will have a very difficult time being able to participate in SD
Summary:
These are just a few things, however the overall changes aren't very good and still need a great deal of work, because its extremely disappointing

Also here to say this mode is very disappointing / absolute garbage
4 -
I thought Showdown was going to receive an βupgradeβ? If it has then im definitely failing to see it!
Energy? This regenerates far too slow and the cost to buy more is far too excessive.
Restricting offence/defence? Seems like this is going to make a lot of tag links redundant, and disappointing that we canβt play with the superstars we wish to use.
Iβll hold out to see how the weekend event goes, but if itβs as bad as I fear then itβs probably time to walk away from the game. With Boss Battle mode still suffering with lots of problems (polite way of saying itβs junk), thereβs very little left to play for.

Well that response didn't age well, as many thought it wouldn't. I don't see any benefit of the energy system for players, the only benefit is Scopely's coffers. The game has been pay to win for a long time, now this is a step towards pay to play. I really hope no-one buys more energy or it will just give Scopely ammunition to implement it in other modes.
And who's bright idea was it to restrict who you can use? People have spent time and money on assembling good teams with great links, like the newly released Judgement Day and Brawling Brutes, and they're useless in the mode they were designed for. I'm pretty sure this was not mentioned on the blog, I wonder why.
You had a simple job - update the store and match making. No-one asked for or needed the rest of the 'improvements' yet here we are

Energy system needs to go. Its clealry a way for scopley to make more money. I'm continued to be shocked how this game finds new ways to continue to make players pay to win. This mode should be based on who has the best offenses and defenses to see who ranks number one, not who can spend the most money and continue to play. I have see this in other games where u have to spend money to continue playing certain modes its ridiculous and should not be in this game. Its almost heart breaking that a game favorite for many has not been chnaged to who is willing to spend the most in the game to continue to get energy to play.

The energy system needs to absolutely go in this new showdown mode. It only benefits the people willing to spend countless dollars.

Day 1 Questions/Clarification/Feedback
- How often will the Classes/Requirements change?
- When the Tournaments Reset does our league reset also?
- Era Requirements would be better than Class Req's. Most of the exciting tag links do not feature the same class, but most are within the same era.
- I actually appreciate the requirements as It will help add more variety to the mode, and the same Defenses was always a complaint with SD for me.
- Energy I was very apprehensive about but so far I don't hate it. I do wish there was no P2 Accellerate with the energy, but I will never fault you for offering people the chance to give you money and letting the balance sheet determine if it's the right move.
- With an energy system in place I think there is some interesting opportunities to maybe reward players with energy.
- SD was previously an arena to test out builds and superstars against other player builds (especially in the straps and medals world) I feel losing that between the requirements as well as the energy and streaks is a partial miss.
- I also don't love being in the world where I need to check my SD defense trainers after every session to make sure I didn't remove and forget to re-add anyone.

Who had the stupid idea to add another game mode where your decide which char to use? Just play the game on your one, if you dont want the players make any decisions, Scopely.

old showdown was fine for me.. but now.. i have no incentive to play this. it's turned into another **** modeled mobile game. that just about kills my interest in even having it installed. converting it into a communist style "same class only" team, with no player choice.. stupid decision #1. energy for 10 dollars just to continue to even play, what should be unlimited matches as a simple and free mechanic, stupid decision #2. i expect this bull**** from Activision, and now you guys. i invested enough of my money to where i reserve the right to say **** you. why would i keep this game, and invest another cent when there might be more stupid decisions coming. don't think so. i can compromise on the energy, but not the boring "same class vs same class" VS matches.. revert that or be uninstalled.. simple as that.

Now you have to pay real money to play showdown past 6 matches... ridiculous IMO.Β 6 cans gone... now have to wait to recharge..or pay real money to buy more πΏ. How is this constructive or fair or looking out for players. This has to be the worse idea since Invasion... just a money maker. You just keep taking the fun right of the game. If you buy cans they should stay in inventory once used..as the original 6.

After playing this new version of showdown I see many positives and many negatives.
The positives. The new shop is much better great job.
2. The interface is also much more informative.
So the energy comes as a negative. People will attack known names. That will make it unfair for them as they could easily be attacked dozens of times.
The fix. 6 energy is fine however. If you win a match you spend 1 energy. If you loose a showdown or attacked and loose on defense you should gain 1 energy. Meaning if said person is defeated 55 times in a day they get 55 energy. As a winner you give your 1 energy to the looser they give you notority. It a trade off.
With shows own events requiring CSS energy much harder to have set up even with a higher number. The energy almost encourages people to play less. Maybe if you do all stipulation you gain energy each tier. Also in tour loot boxes maybe add energy. The other option. Energy regen speed ups. If a person has king of kings speed up 2x. If they have one DX pass along w king of kings 3x and if have both 4x speed up. You adding perks to the subscriptions.
One other addition would like to see is epic affiliation guaranteed affiliation but random class e red a. 3x legendary affiliation same way and ultimate 4x affiliation straps. We really need 4x especially for move point trainers promoters etc.
Overall I enjoy some of the changes and not others.
Here is another idea DX passes which I stopped years ago. Here is why. In the days I did not see why paying 49.99 a month only to rent a supers tdd ar w a vault was not worth it. I think instead once you have DX pass for a year king of kings for a year they become permanent on roster. The dx pass needs to be beefed up drastically. Maybe now could add extra energy per day as loot plus am extra marque tickets and stip tickets. Also add gauranteed 4x affiliation w the DX pass along with more as right now t h.g.h at pass between the 2 seems like a '10 value not 70.

The thing is, the change of the prizes for higher leagues was insanely overdue.
... and then you ruin that with absolutely everything else. I don't even entirely hate the idea of the energy system! But dear God does it ever replenish far too slowly. Have it recharge more like the trivia energy (one every 45 minutes) and you might be onto something. Also the class restrictions are a terrible terrible idea.
Shame is, you really had a kernel of something great. Just utterly bungled the execution.

So if you lose with your defense you lose points and your win streak is snapped but if you win with your defense it doesnβt count towards your win streak nor do you get any points. That makes no sense at all. You should gain points with a defensive win and most definitely you should be able to either start a new win streak or add to your current one. The energy bars is fine if they refilled a lot quicker than they are 4 hours for one energy refill is insane unless you want to spend on them which is just wrong as well. Adjust the timer so energy gets refreshed faster

The new showdown mode is totally ridiculous as you have no control on who you choose to fight your battles and the whole energy thing is so ridiculous also and the old one worked better and you should have just updated the interface and not the whole gameplay

If my defense loose a match my streak ends and I loose notoriety. Ok, perfect
If my defense wins a match I got 0 notoriety and my winning streak it's the same
What's the purpose of win in defense when I got NOTHING per win?

i donate Β£10 a month via subscription to then be rewarded by 6 showdown games per 24 hrs.
stomach churning decision.

You hide behind the usual phrases of in order of fairness etc . This new Showdown is shocking . Basically catering for the spenders and putting 2 fingers up to the players and factions that try to enjoy it . I get it needed freshed up,but the whole 6 energy start then wait hours on 1 refresh is an absolute joke . You are basically turning new players away and some that have played for years off playing this garbage SD . It's basically another attempt of GREED on you're part and no thought whatsoever of you're loyal player base and lower factions . Also losing you're winning streak to a defensive loss is bull to be honest . Another event lost to all about money and no thought of your player base . Typical
