Was wondering when one of the steiners would show up.
Nice to see Rick is in the mix and still enjoying the game.
Some feedback, with the Faction Boss fights, why can you only go to level 8 with the global option?
Why not have it maxxed out to the highest level so it helps with people who are not in factions or need to wait for others to join from your faction?
Just helps skip the part of waiting but hey each to their own.

I've waited a long time for the Steiner's to show up. Can't wait to play this one

1) Energy system
The only reason we are playing is for PvP, restricting this is counterproductive
2) Matchmaking
Having to refresh multiple times to avoid double 6s’ers because I’m only 5sb ph
3) Win streak
Having to rely on the AI to protect the win streak is insulting, it doesn’t know how to play.. watching HTM marquee auto games proves this point!
my monthly subscription has been cancelled until pvp restrictions have been removed

You’ve removed the earn showdown coins part already. It was there at the beginning but now it’s gone.

Competitions nice but again for paying players... As always, the rewards in a backpack are just slivers. And winning a star is just a dream. Likewise here...

i got a "warning" for pointing out facts about the stupidity, and admin become butt hurt. lol "community guidelines" community is pretty much about to be dead in the water with the changes.. it's pointless, liberals.

This Showdown event is brutal. Still required to use a PH in the first slot, still getting nothing for defensive wins while getting absolutely hammered for defensive losses.
I won two offensive matches and one defensive match while losing one defensive match. That put me down from 200 to 180.
Then I won another offensive match while losing a defensive match (to someone rated 300 higher than me), and lost another 120 notoriety. Sitting down in the lowest league, I'm getting nothing but 6-stars to battle.
This definitely needs some work.

What a disaster you guys have made this

I'm trying not to be negative but it's very hard with an event as poorly planned as this.
1st- I played as many matches as possible before hitting a wall of 6 stars that are unbeatable, refreshed 5 times all 6 star matches ... and I'm only halfway to the "world class league" So I can get these bonus superstars points. Yet I'm around 550 notoriety and you need to be 1000 ... I'm not even gonna touch that league to even ATTEMPT to get those bonus points
2nd- 5 defensive team wins 0 points, 1 defensive team loss -178!!!!!!! How is that balanced? How can someone legit lose that many points? I have photo to prove how ridiculous this was. Why do we get 0 points for defensive wins and lose 3 matches worth of notoriety in 1 defensive loss
3rd- why when you claim the energy can do they immediately go into the empty spot instead of inventory? I'd much rather use the energy cans strategically then to add them when I have no desire to play the game because of unbalanced matches
4th- I understand locking a position to a class to help push people to balance there rosters but it would be nice if we could chose 1st or 2nd position instead of it being locked at #1 ... if you want to balance out to be fair or all players including free 2 play then this could make it more manageable then locked in at #1 spot
5th- bonus character points .... why world league before able to achieve the bonuses ... why add a stipulation on a stipulation it's hard enough to get these posters you want us to use but now we have to get to a level that to be honest most people won't be able to get to, so even if your lucky enough you have one of them you making it 1000 times harder but placing the bonus in a league unobtainable by probably 75 percent the players.
I'm trying so hard to not be so negative but this event is honestly one of the biggest letdown in a while

why not just rename the new showdown "screw you F2P, we hate you cheap bastards" how in gods name am i meant to beat double 6s guys with my 5sg powerhouse? absolute p!sstake

This person is spot on. There are several aspects of these changes that, in a vacuum, would be fine. Good, even. But with every potentially positive change comes two negative that makes everything worse.
1. Shop overhaul is good! However, the economy involved is so garbage that it's hardly worth the change.
2. Class requirements provide an interesting wrinkle. However, forcing the required class to be in the lead off slot means that unless you have a 6s killer in EVERY CLASS, going on offense is impossible. I have a well over 3 million roster, have already COMPLETED league 20, and I'm still struggling.
3. Rewarding win streaks is good! However, having your streak killed even by your defense being beaten is garbage because one, it's completely out of player control, because even if you have a completely flawless setup that is basically a guaranteed win, the AI is so stupid sometimes that it loses the unlosable. Second, what this change guarantees is that the game will be full of NOTHING but 6 stars. Constantly. So when you set bonus requirements like New Gen, Bulldog, nWo, Harlem Heat, or EARTHQUAKE of all things, the majority of which have been fodder for years, it makes the bonuses impossible unless you also have those characters at 6s or absolutely bare minimum 5sg.
4. The expedited energy refresh is good, and should be extended to Career, or at least something closer to that than what's there now. Theoretically unlimited coins is also good. However, making the matchmaking so impossible to conquer basically neuters the benefits of those positive changes because winning, as established, is extremely difficult.
There are good ideas buried in here somewhere. There really are. But this is an absolute bungling of the debut , both in Event and Career.

Oh wait thats normal for you guys!!!!

Not just F2P .. if you’ve started playing within the last 6 months & paid for a monthly subscription you are also in this category

At long last the SD which needed an overhaul has finally been delivered, with better items in the shop as promised.
Now I can see the boardroom as the guys delivered on the promise, in complete meltdown! better rewards well we must make it harder for the players to get said rewards. any ideas?
how about we only give them 6 energy so they cant get too many coins?
oh I know we can sell extra energy! boom sounds good!
then an arm pops up, (not to be outdone and wanting the favourite stick to be with them this month)
how about we restrict the players to only play with PH for offence and only can use technicians in defence? oh even better!
now lets make the weekend SD event an absolute cluster for the players and we can all stay home and dance around the favourite stick while watching the players have a meltdown.
well done on completely messing up the event. and making it only possible for the top 250 or so players to actually gain from it, just when we think things cant get any worse you outdo yourselves again.

How come the new IOW characters aren't giving out bonuses? I have Brock at 9k so should be getting 15 percent more showdown coins (so if you are giving 1500 for a win 15 percent is 225, so 1725 total) yet I'm only getting 1500.
2 -
So which one of you numbnuts decided to put restrictions on this showdown? This is beyond stupid as you know what. I along with many others in my faction are very disappointed with this showdown. Having a powerhouse first? That’s a bunch of bull spit. Don’t get me started on the energy and weekly showdown restrictions. Whichever one of you numbnuts came up with this idea you need to be fired.

Overall was an enjoyable event. However, one mechanic that I'd like to see tweaked/fixed. Unlike the previous showdown...when you check out your log and select one of them to revenge and decide you don't want to, when you click back it used to take you back to the log, now it doesn't.

So far it’s been an absolute mess.
There are good ideas within the current model. I like the energy refresh but disagree that you can purchase more. The showdown shop was long overdue and looks a nice addition! Unfortunately that’s about it for the positives.
Where to start with the negatives? Let’s start with the new SD promotors. For the first few hours of the contest the promotors were not working and we’re not giving extra coins for wins. Up until now the coins earned from them are not being added to the contest.
You have created a completely pay to win mode which will drive away F2P and small spenders very quickly unless that changes.
The notoriety gained and lost from battles is absolutely crazy. Matchmaking needs to be fixed allowing for only revenge matches or matches against people within 100 notoriety of you.
Allowing only a PH in the first offensive slot but an open defensive doesn’t work. Choose either no requirements or a requirement for both. Too many turn 1 superstars and the PH class has a lot of high charge moves.
The new model has potential but I feel it’s been poorly implemented with very little testing by people who actually play the game.

and they edited me out for pointing out that fact.. lol game turned into North Korea.

This update is worse than the last showdown tournament .. Wasn't it supposed to get better not horrible worse. This is an absolute disaster beyond. Everything about it stinks !! It's just terrible beyond. An totally embarrassment. If I gave an honest rating from 1 ( being the worst ) to 10 . I'd gave it a zero

I know you want to make things competitive but these requirements for those weekends tours were absolutely garbage. You have the s tier rock as the boss for today's tours and you need an NWO superstar to play, on top of that their is no S tier NWO superstar. This is just rigging the game against us.

Like the new showdown mode forces peoplw to utilize there roster better rather than same 2 people always popping up. New showdown mode is nice able to grind for however many coins you want. Enjoyed the 2 seperate contest side of it versus at reset everyone getting the same amount of coins nice touch. One thing id recommend is to fix defensive victorys they currently give no notoriety or coins also causes you to lose win streak which is fine but there should be a reward for victories just like in the past showdowns.

Overall, event was mixed. Energy balance worked surprisingly well. New character is a big hit.
However… most in my faction started with a double 6* wall immediately… many of which have no six stars… so could not play.
While, I made it to max league quickly, I found the rewards not worth playing for. Other than getting the showdown coins themselves… I didn’t see one single reward this event worth it. Coin and MLC value were VERY low. This was compounded by the blog making it sound like getting prizewall currency would be aplenty.
In reality, having gotten all there was and spending a little, there wasn’t enough prizewall currency earned to get more than one set of cheap shards and some coin.
The last couple of week’s rewards felt worth grinding for… I really hope we don’t have another relapse to the “player appreciation” 6th anniversary style month/rewards which felt so dispiriting.
Please make wrestlemania weekend worth playing. Give some GOOD rewards again. Not 25 shards of the new character and 70 MLC points.

I didnt mind showdown very easy this first time out , a choice to who we want should be a thing and not pick a class, for some this made it hard to play and having a 6s off the hop is kind of wierd considering there is over 20k players and all of them have 6s yet, energy thing is ok i guess kind of point less if this was a constant grind but i get it , point system could be higher for less grinding if some one just wanted the points for contest and not show down coin , tours could of added solo points with faction points. yeah over all it is what is

While showdown needed a good overhaul, I think it's not quite there. I went in with an open mind hoping that I'd be able to do some showdown, but when it started, I took a look and saw myself facing 6s right off the bat, and went back to doing other things.
While i'm at the cusp of being high league (league 16), my roster cannot handle 6s, especially with requiring specific classes as a first slot. I think matchmaking needs a little more tweaking. While the old showdown wasn't perfect, at the beginning one could at least get a few wins as it started with very easy opponents, and progressed to harder ones. I think that should continue.
I do like in theory being able to grind as many coins as your energy will allow with resets or purchasing them. I agree with other players that mentioned making you get coins or rewards for defensive wins.
The tours were miserable from my accounts perspective. While all tours can't be easy, the requirements were definitely more difficult than my roster could handle.
Again showdown is going in the right direction, but needs more tweaks where lower leagues can actually compete/play the event. Maybe combine players in leagues 10 and lower then 11-14ish then 15-17 and then players 18 and above.

Alright, I played the first week of the new showdown, I played the first weekend of the new showdown - are people allowed to say they don't like it yet, or do Firpo and the content creators want people to suffer through it for a few more months before they're allowed to say they don't like it?
- First off, to whoever thought that a tour where you have to beat a 6SB Razor with one of two characters who have no business being 5SG let alone 6SB (Quake, SB Yoko), you shouldn't be ingesting those kinds of substances at work. Either that, or you're just an asshole, who's to say. Same goes for most of the other tours (Damage CTRL's being heavily paywalled or 'Beat a 6SB Rhea with a 4SG at best Dakota' and the nWo tour being another tour that would be the worst tour in any event that wasn't this one, especially with everyone catered to counter Stevie Ray) - if you didn't want to give out 300 Steiner shards to people that badly, just don't give them out. I'd be less upset seeing that the free total was exceedingly low rather than get ingame and realize that you pulled the rug on everyone. God knows Showdown Scrimmage hasn't been about making characters that are easier to get for months now anyways - and the prize wall certainly backs that claim up.
- This weekend showdown isn't as bad as the traditional showdown that we got a taste of this week (not glacially slow in terms of energy, you're not totally locked down offensively and defensively, payouts are actually pretty good per match) but there's definitely a lot of red flags in this first weekend.
- First off, I feel the energy itself is overcorrected and is coming in too quickly, and I feel like I need to be constantly chained to the game in order to get anything done - to keep on top of the rankings (which reward a ton of solo points), to keep from 'wasting' energy by sitting on a full set of energy, and generally because you're consistently rewarded per win now. This all encourages staying around and playing and the like, but one of the things I like about showdown (and feud) is that I feel that there's an end point where I can go "Well I got about all I want from this, I can take a break and stop playing the event". That doesn't exist here. I feel as if I'm not playing showdown constantly, I'm behind the 8-ball, and I'm not even done with Saturday as of typing this and I'm exhausted facing the same 6-star clowns in this mode. This is further exacerbated by the fact you still have to open with a powerhouse on offense, meaning I have only a couple of options for dealing with top guys at 6-star bronze, furthering the monotony.
- The Showcase competition is interesting in that it's basically the Showdown equivalent of Boss Battle's Superstar Competition - the grindable portion that holds the lion's share of points for the contest. This honestly wasn't too bad so far (though missing one requirement means you have to do an extra 60 matches, which means you can quickly be kicked out of contention if the requirements are against you) but it wasn't a fun grind and the milestones directly gave out energy - which meant if you didn't want to get a bunch of energy you didn't want or need quite yet, you need to avoid these like the plague until you're both out of energy and feel like wanting to use more - a rare moment in this mode. I'd just recommend giving out vouchers we could freely trade for energy instead, so we have agency in getting that energy.
- Another showdown, another dreadful prize wall. What you could get for free won't get you anything other than econ, uninspired straps, and some Striker Lashley shards - making it probably the first time one could actually buy Lashley shards for free in a scrimmage shop. 7 months after Lashley released. I suppose that's still shorter than the 'never' a lot of other posters are set at, but again, this is the Scrimmage contest we're talking about here.
- This is basically shouting redundantly into the void with how literally every faction-based contest is conducted, but I don't like how one could pay for an advantage with the buyable energy effectively allowing people to, in theory, get in more matches and get a higher rank for the contest. Defense playing a part in things already complicates things (as it's really all down to whether the matchmaking system throws you to the wolves or not) but in particular the ability to directly put in money to influence one's standing in the showdown rankings makes them actually being a competition a bit of a joke.

The new showdown weekend was great to me even though I was really skeptical about the revamped system.
The tournament itself was not an issue as I had superstars from different classes including an offensive powerhouse superstar in Mutant Seth that made the climb really easy, easier than I thought it would. I even would like to see a restriction on defense next time to test other classes on defense. The class restriction is actually a breath of fresh air.
The CSS was not too shabby either and putting them at higher notoriety level is also a welcome change to me where I thought it was not a great idea. Thank you for including a Razor shard pack as he was really the last superstar I really wanted and was able to use him in the event. The new gen damage task was a bit confusing, but got it done by tagging Rocker in from Mutant Seth.
The fact that you can get unlimited coins was really the absolute best thing about this showdown event, got almost 200k coins in one weekend.
After thinking Scopely pulled an Amber Heard in Johnny Depp’s bed with revamping the showdown mode, this weekend changed my mind for the better and actually love the changes done. It took this showdown weekend to change my mind. The energy was not a big issue as long as you collect the extras from the milestones, you did not have to buy the energy packs whatsoever.
The tour was difficult on Sunday and if you don’t have the CSS, you could fall short on getting closer to recruiting Steiner. There should be one weekend in the month where it should be able to obtain the weekend chase cheaply and believe it should be the chases that are 1600 shards and below.
I am happy with this weekend’s event and it’s been a while since I felt this way towards an event. My hope is that Scopely does not change anything about the showdown weekends.
