LASH-OUT

Am I being overly optimistic thinking this event will offer much more SD coins (like people have been requesting)?

The points per showdown coins are listed as only 10, rather than the usual 50-100 points, so does this mean more SD coins will be available?

I like a challenge, but I think the limited time tour has some very unreasonable requirements and it's not just needing the top tier characters. The past showdown events had reasonable open tours that you complete your era and/or class based wrestlers with requirements sprinkled on top and one for the chase character.

Now, limiting it to 3 characters (one of which you can't even show us a preview of for Icon's of Wrestlemania) + an open women's tour is a step backwards in my opinion.

Well as you can see showdown hasn't been fixed

This event, so far, is unplayable. It's at least nice that we get the free refresh after two unavailable opponents, but why are they even presented to me to begin with. I do 10-15 refreshes, and still can't find a playable opponent. We have an event that requires us to win 250 matches, and in the first two hours, I've been able to do TWO matches. TWO!!! How are we supposed to even come close to finishing this event in the time you have provided??? You said last month that you were fixing this issue, but this issue CLEARLY has not been fixed.

I'm sorry but this event is so poor, from the lack of rewards/resources to the broken Showdown. Again. It took me three hours to get a playable match. From 8pm until 12.30am, not a word from Scopely during this time too. I know timed events are likely to cause some problems somewhere in the world but with Showdowns it's constantly the people in European and surround time zones having to sit up playing until crazy times in the morning and crossing their fingers that if they log off to sleep they don't fall below the arbitrary markers and are penalized. An event that happens every fortnight that holds it against you if you sleep! It's been going on years now and it's only getting worse now with the Showdowns being unplayable for the first few hours, the contempt shown for players on a regular basis is mind boggling. As soon as problems crop up there's no one to be seen, but when there's another new character released people are falling over themselves to talk it up and get people spending. Scopely should be ashamed with themselves that events they've been putting on for years (and in some cases it's daily) are still bugged.

There shouldn't be this much ill will between a company and it's fan base, people want to play the game. They want to give you money for the new characters, give them things for the time and money they put into it. Let them build and grow rather than miserly dishing out tiny amounts of shards, coins and TP. I don't want to sound confrontational but this is four or five years of playing the game coming to a head after another event littered with problems.

Yet another completely ass-backward showdown event where I end with less coins than I started. How tf are we supposed to do this week's coin/evo events when all the coins for this event are locked behind the final milestones?? Your entire player base have been complaining about resource scarcity for months now, and what is your response? A big middle finger to all of us in the form of this event...well done!

My suggestion is spreading the coin out among each individual milestone instead of sticking 6 plus million coin on a pretty unobtainable final milestone. Coin is an always needed resource. To waste a weekend of grinding and not getting 5 to 6 million coin is a waste of a weekend to most of your player base.

i think the math was off with the Bobby lashley SD amounts. I highly believe the webportal should have had 300,000 each day at least. Most people are wayyyyy short of the final milestone. Bringing them closer would have increased sales in the store. But the top 100 in at least league 17 aren’t even close.

maybe adjust the numbers higher in different areas.

1 hour, 3 matches. No one can be attacked. Worst experience ever!

Ok let me start with the positive. The resources available were great.

That leads me into my biggest con, having almost ALL of them in the final milestone that required something like $1000 to get to is a slap in the face. Also, at this point of the MLC, the amount of contest points isn't worth much in the early milestones of the faction contest. If there hadn't been a faction contest attached to this event I wouldn't have done even half of the matches I did do. There have been significantly better contests just in the last 60 days. Just make it seem like I'm not wasting my time.

I do understand that every contest isn't going to be free to max and I dont have a problem with that, I just think it would build a little more good will if we were able to get close to the available resources by getting near the last milestone.

Have to echo what a lot of people said in that this was a real rough event - from restrictive and sometimes nonsensical tours (You couldn't pay me enough to level Acro Cena to 3SG, and I already have the poster at 3SG) to pretty much every asset of the showdown event, from the kneecapped point gain from showdown tokens to the seemingly purposefully obscured equal odds bag, because if people knew who was in this bag (Bayley, PH Nash, PH Dream, PH Show, SB Lacey, SB Orton, Akam, Dango, Striker Sting, Striker Bray, Tech Orton, Rezar, Steele, Lawler, Trick Faarooq, Woods, Trick Show) nobody would have grinded the 250 matches for it.

The only thing I can really say is that I did like the idea of a grind-based showdown contest (one that didn't require you trawling through 200 notoriety of 5SS Ortons and Sockos to maximize returns) but if the reward at the end of it is going to be characters you could primarily get from your average key pull, it's not going to work out. I also still think that the currently implemented system does do a lot to make showdown more playable, even if it is still hell on earth getting a match for the first six or so hours. I really do think just having everyone always available to attack and only having some attacks count on the defender's end (Say, after a registered attack none others count for the next 15 minutes) is the way to go.
