Sami, Rocker, and Naka NERFED?? BS.

Lamedumb

So, in the new update the damage per gem move no longer increases per multiplier, rendering 3 of the top superstars on many players rosters effectively worthless. Why??

Just can't stop screwing over the player base can you scopely.

This is some major BS.

I invested money in getting Rocker shards, the plate for him off the Rocky wall, as well as in game coin and TP because of how he was marketed as playing. And now after this long you decide to switch his whole damage?

It no longer matters what your intentions were when you made the card. You let it play out the way it has for so long that is has become the assumed intention. People have spent real life money and in game resources to obtain these cards and now you severely nerf them. Like how ignorant are you guys?

It seems you guys have tried to find any and every way to piss people off lately. If this change stays as is, I am literally done giving anything to this game and will probably only play it until I finally give in and just delete the crap.

Yeah this isn't cool, Scopely. Even if the way it worked wasn't the original INTENT behind the mechanics of the posters, it's how they worked, for months and months, including being cornerstones behind several boss battles where they were cornerstones. Said battles literally wouldn't have been possible without the moves working the way they did. These three characters aren't outliers in terms of being able to do insane amounts of unblockable damage; if anything, the rest of the top tier meta was made consistent AROUND them, again suggesting Scopely knew how it was working and was fine with it.

Now you make the change with no warning and render several recent "top-tier" characters effectively useless. This is not cool.

I HATE this so much. We were never ever told that this mechanic was considered to be broken or an issue.

Not only this, but Sami in particular was released with preview videos promoting this mechanic, and players were encouraged to recruit Sami to acquire the drip plate on the same weekend. To advertise this and then nerf it after selling is disgusting. People have been spending way too much to recruit these characters to just nerf them without comment.

Many people use 1, 2, or 3 of these as their strongest characters for most or all game modes. I have seen multiple 6SS versions of these posters in the last few weeks also. Given the rarity of 6SS tokens (not to mention shards), I can’t help but feel terrible for those players.

What should happen?

• Communicate the change. Is this a mistake? If so, when will it be fixed? If it’s intended, why was the change made? What steps are being taken to balance the situation?
• Assuming this is actually intended, we need to put this right for affected players. The first solution is to boost the affected moves to much higher damage to balance the damage to a similar level. The other solution is to significantly boost alternate move sets on these characters.
• If the nerf isn’t corrected or rebalanced, the other solution I would offer up is a ‘victory’ tour of sorts for these characters for players to recoup their wasted resources.

I would like to be fully refunded for any money I spent to get the posters. I spent with the understanding that they would work in the way intended at the time. If this is not reversed you have literally stolen money from every player that acquired them with their hard earned money. I would expect a resolution on this quickly.

VishwadeepR33

This totally changes everything what's the point now we spent a good amount of money to get them and then they get nerfed out of nowhere this is really not fair

This is an excellent post. Well said.

Victor091993

Completely disagree with this nerf. Rocker is one of the strongest on my roster. During Rocky event, I spent all my prizewall currency on Prey in the night skill plate to make him even stronger , and now it doesn’t work. Typical Scopely move. People spend real money on characters like Rocker and PH Sami with the expectation of a certain damage output, then this happens. But… Scopely already got their money!!! So go ahead and nerf it! Screw the playerbase I suppose

Grant0106

Okay guys we need to talk....... let the community have the players the way they were. It's the right thing to do. Been playing this way for over a year.

Thanks.

FootersInSidney

Pretty much agree with all the above statements, but here’s an addition to the resources used. A lot of us that have these guys have also maxed boss breakers on them. This nerf now makes that poster a carry character with a good breaker as opposed to someone that can carry their own. A great solution would be lessen the amount of breaker currency, but have the breaker be for the spot instead of one of the what 525 possible posters?

Iceman_Parsons4170

I guess subject to change doesn't just apply to blogs. You guys make it harder and harder to justify spending on this game. Please tell me this is an error and will be fixed

BDC212

Yeah this is absolute GARBAGE! Not once was this portrayed to be a problem or a glitch but then its nerfed without any communication or correspondence.

Do right by your players, for once.

This is major Bs. No matter if these characters were not intended to play that way, the fact that you decided on a whim to change them after they’ve been in game for many months (ph Sami just released in last 2 months) is crap. Personally I spent close to $1,000 chasing both Rocker and Naka and now they’re essentially worthless. Had I known they would changed down the road, I wouldn’t have spent that. If they weren’t intended to play like that, perhaps put a notice out after wards or properly test them before releasing them. It seems you guys have 0 QA Dept and just change things how you see fit later without any communication to players. That’s why I’m upset. Not the changes per se but the lack of comms regarding it and also releas of PH Sami recently that obviously had similar mechanics. If it wasn’t intended, perhaps don’t use the same model. This is ridiculous

Jmcool7

This isn’t a good look. Some of these characters have been on top peoples rosters for close to a year. People planned there 6SS moves around the way these superstars play. It is well past the time when you could have changes these characters, the time has passed. These characters are who they are now. I know I personally spent money on shards for these characters cause of how they played. I do feel cheated out of that money and resources I sank into them. With issues in the Ali event, a weak free card, and now this…all of goodwill that has been gained is gone.

in good faith, after a bunch of BS…just bring these characters back to normal. Thanks!

Sandman3360

Why would you do this to your customers give them something great then turn around and trash the product? Just why?

DeadleeDanger

This is absolutely ridiculous. Are you intending to refund the money i spent on acquiring and then upgrading my Naka. It literally doesn’t make sense. It’s stealing from your player base

Nwodownunder01

This is a disgrace! You knew that these characters were strong and made massive amounts of money from people chasing them, now you nerf them. You either need to fix it to how it was or refund to the people in either physical money or massive amounts of tp, coin and tokens. Or give each person the old partridge so they can choose 1 character they want for free. But we all know what you will do………… nothing.

Doc1987

This is something that we should hear feedback directly from Scopely…not the mods here. You have to know that this was 100% unwarranted. Their damage has not been an issue for well over a year now…why change it? As others have mentioned, Sami was even advertised with the damage as a benefit in obtaining him. You guys are SO out of touch with your player base that it’s pathetic

To the whales in the game—you know damn well that nothing will change if you yourselves do not speak up and take action. I sincerely hope you are all just as upset and willing to speak in TH about it or even dm Firpo directly…otherwise I’m afraid this forum is useless

Grumz

After videos on the official twitter channel showing these characters in action and knowing how good they were so making them very expensive to acquire. You now decide that all the advertising how strong they are and after a lot of people spent a couple tons of money for them you nerf them hoping people will now have to spend more money on new chards and then you can just do it all over again laughing all the way to the bank.

Snax Biscuit

Bump.

Either revert them back. Or offer refunds. Simple.

Bobertkuekn

I can only assume this change which severely nerfs preferred move sets for Rocker striker, Nakamura SB, Sami Zayn PH, and others is an accident. Please tell us all this was simply a big mistake and that a fix is being expedited.

If not, then Scopely has eroded player confidence significantly for the second week in a row. Players spent a lot of actual money to acquire these characters. Players then invested significant coin, TP, and tokens to upgrade them. They also used large amounts of boss breaker currency to upgrade breakers on them. To debuff these characters in such a way after all this time would make all those resources wasted. It's completely illogical and unacceptable to have done this so long after they've launched. Please rethink your strategy and undo what you've done.

Smgordo13

Whether this is a purposeful update and change or another "Subject to Change" error. Y'all are now messing with cards that people spent real, actual, hard earned money for. Even if they managed to get one of these for free, they put a lot of resources in to build them up because of the way they played, the way they were released, the way they were previewed by the Content Creators, the way they were INTENDED to play.

If it was an accident, apologize quickly. If this was on purpose, lie to us, tell us that it was a mistake and fix it. This community, for some reason, puts up with all of these issues and still comes back to spend money and play this game. Please, please, please, stop screwing us.

Everyone let it slide when you took away the pin bar won't move from the stip tours. This was another thing that people built for their gameplay style, and when it work2d, as intended, you removed it because it was... too good?

Do Better.

Stude

It’s very easy. Scopely you had YOUR content creators make these characters wanted by the paying PLAYER fan base.

Now you NERF them and expect the community of PAYING players to accept this? Make this right and revert the changes or issue refunds.

I and many others have spent a lot of our hard earned money and you constantly disregard your paying player base. This has to stop unless you are trying to end this game. If that’s the case you are doing well.

SCOPELY you CLAIM that you watch the forums. I wholeheartedly disagree. You do not care about the paying player base and it shows.

Sumit510154

This change is sucks nobody like this change why you do this

MystikalBueni

I hope this is just a simple mistake and gets fixed soon!

Panchocr

I agree with most of the comments posted here. Basically after months and months, you cannot change character's abilities. I believe a month is the maximum you can change a character. This leaves a sour taste in the community. What's next? Nerf bleeds, power gems, trap gems? This is not the way to run business, as a company you should be accountable for your doings. After all this time, this is not acceptable. Not to mention that you are selling false advertising by changing the characteristics of the product you are offering. I'm not expecting Scopely to change this decision, but at least they can hear our opinions. A multimillion company should take care of its customers, not punishing them for their mistakes.

Masterchan2898

I spent over $350 trying to pull Nakamura with the intention that he was going to continue staying the way he was before the update that came out nerfing him. I can’t imagine how much money people spent trying to get Rocker. This is ridiculous and these characters like Powerhouse Sami Zayn along with the others and the nerf should return to how they were before the nerf.
