I no longer will spend any actual money on this game. It obvious to me that they are just trying to kill it.

You really don't give a damn about players outside the top 1% spenders. This is a terrible excuse for a prize that people spent hours and other currency(Blitz tickets) to go for. The whole "Free Superstars" is deceptive and we see that for what it is.
Look at the path to get any of them. 20 shards of Macho in the showdown shop is 9000 SD Coins. Even at a high level I'm capped at 1200 SD Coins per day. He costs 1200 shards. That is many months, especially since I won't be able to spend 9000 per day. I also will lose out on 9000 SD coins worth of other needed resources each day (TP, Tokens, etc)
Then lets say in 2022 when I finally get him, he is probably an average superstar and will surely be pushed way down the list of superstars with the 3-4 new guys released per month. Then I recruit him and have to spend all the resources to get him up to a competitive level. He will probably be more useable as a promoter which is a very little bump to whatever the bonus is. When you put out all these announcements and said "Biggest release ever" there was modest excitement but most of the community was thinking "What's the catch" There is always a catch with you guys. When players see what is actually "Free" it is absurd. Maybe your whales have hundreds of thousands of SD coins and IGC and can buy the shards and refresh to get the superstars earlier, if they even want them, but most of your base is looking at this as another Scopely shiny OMG look at this object that means nothing.
If you want to get people excited about the game again, give us better odds on these pulls. People are wasting $100 on pulls and getting worthless shards. Or even pulling a featured only for it to be a common character that was put in the "Featured" catalog... See: Harlem Heat, Rick Rude. Eventually players hit a point where it's "Why am I doing this" and either go to other games or go to Free to play. Things you hear in the community... Loot is overpriced, I'm constantly wasting money and getting frustrated after pulls, the company doesn't care about me as a mid level player, the contest milestones are unattainable, there is more I can do with my time than this game. This is the real feedback you need to address. You priced everyone out because you know a few guys will put in $1,000's for every contest and that in turn screws the rest of us. Stop rolling out meaningless stuff and do the little things that will make a happier player base. I'm sure there is great advice in the surveys, pull those out of the recycling bin and get creative. This game has so much potential, but unfortunately it looks like the bottom line is more important than customer satisfaction. It should go hand in hand. Marketing 101 - Happy customers are willing to spend more and feel value of your product. You have a bunch of frustrated people that feel left out and are providing a subpar service at an excessive price.

The only possible thing they will do is give the "Make good" message with 25 HP and 3 player appreciation boxes. It's a joke.

If the surprise was the shards couldn’t you have at least given a decent boost to the shards available so it mattered who you pulled. 1 shard for big show is what you get from the faction shop... multiply the shards available by 3-5 and there would be less annoyance

Absolute waste of time. How can I do this. Biggest letdown.

Keep our eyes out for one of the biggest reveals in history? Based on that info I spent money on the game to progress in the weekly solo events to collect these mystery coins. I used all of my blitz tickets, stayed up late to blitz, spent more money and then to discover that I used my mystery coins on this? Way to pull wool over my eyes. I should have known better then to expect anything less from this greedy company. I have never been more disappointed in this game then I am right now. I will never drop another penny into this game again. I certainly hope everyone else does the same. Absolutely disgraceful way to treat the loyal players of the game.

I just constantly feel cheated with this game at the moment. A bit like saying all these free characters, that are not free. I made purchases in order to get higher up and claim some of these coins, but typical scopely we get ripped off

I can't believe the reward for the mystery tokens. I spent so much time and tickets specifically to get those tokens, and you give us shards for stipulation characters!? Such bull!

People whine and complain about spending money on the game and getting robbed from rewards...Keep spending your hard earned money on the game week after week and you get what you deserve.As long as people continue pumping money into the game daily-nothing will change

I'd call the people who made the decision to make the mystery coins as the currency for worthless shards pieces of crap. but that would be a disgraceful insult.

Was really glad I didn’t bust my ass for the mystery coins when it was revealed. I first thought “Well, shards for superstars I have NO DESIRE of getting”
Way to go Scopely...

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the feedback you hahd to share regarding the mystery coins.
There are different perspecitves on this. every promoter is very valuable in the respective game modes, thats how you will score more points "in the future", so you really want those. and yes, it will take a long time to get them all. the mystery coins help you with that (for now), especially with the ones with a lower unlock. so, from that point of view, it was a nice thing to have in the end. of course, not everyone shares this opinion and thats totally fine. we take that feedback and will consider it for next time.
Best,
Firpo

While I appreciate this response, I think the miss was the RNG aspect. If you wanted to do this properly using your valuation, you should have taken the max number of coins (63) and divided by three (3). That number is twenty-one (21).
Take the number of shards to recruit for a superstar ... we can use Big Show at 40 shards. You offered one (1) shard as RNG for him... one (1). As a minimum, you could have at least made it at least three (3) shards so that’s if you had excellent RNG, you could have recruited him. Instead, he’s still a long shot.
Additionally even if you recruit that superstar, you have no TP, tokens or coins to upgrade them which was a miss. If you would have at least given 500k coins, three (3) 100 TP bags and some tokens you would have received a lot less backlash... maybe even throw in a few points for the solo MLC.
I am comfortable saying that on behalf of the community which has responded to this thread (arguably one of the most popular ones in the history of the forum), your valuation was in fact wildly inaccurate. It is really hard to earn a “F” grade on an event (scoring A-F... “A” being the best), but it is what your team did here. It was a complete failure.
I still encourage you to reach out for members of the community, not the development team, to review events like this prior to their epic failure. This could have been prevented with transparency and consultation with folks who play the game.
I also encourage you to take a step back, make adjustments to the event and compensate the players with something, even faction shop credits, to offset your terrible valuation again. It’s okay to send it out within the week and we will somewhat forget this fiasco.
Looking forward to your acknowledgement and response to this.

Damn. No wonder they gave so many "appreciation" bags. They had to know this would be the overall response. All the requirements and resources and time needed to get that many mystery coins. No wonder the solo and global events were easy. In before we gave you free stuff! A fraction of resources given on what a player spent/used to gain those mystery coins.

This is pandering and insulting.
If you had advertised from the start of the month, that those coins collected would go towards low-shard bags that are a minuscule fraction of what's needed to recruit the card:
*Players wouldnt have blitzed and used nearly as many tickets
*Players wouldnt have spent real money to acquire the needed loot coins to finish the last milestone (This is the real crime here)
Because of the above, there is no "difference in opinion" you hung out a unknown currency, promising huge returns, then attached spend requirements to obtain all the coins, and then revealed it was shards, not recruitable characters and to add more insult...an extremely low percentage of shards per bag as well.
Youre disgusting for trying to put lipstick on such a sham, and chalking up screwing over some of your most dedicated players as "difference of opinion" and "valuable feedback". Cant wait for you guys to get hit with a class

There are absolutely not different perspectives on this.
Not a single player has hailed this as a great, or even a fair reward for their time, resources and real money.
A choice of promoter shards is the only way this would have been seen as a reasonable reward.
As suggested above, surely you guys could round up a group of experienced players to give you feedback on this kind of thing before it goes live?

I know we will never get an open and honest response out of the powers that be around here. They will all have to toe the company line. But seriously...who sat on the live events team meetings and honestly thought ANYONE from the player-base was going to think this was a great idea? Or do you have one of those workplaces where dissenting opinions are never welcome?

Glad you released that prize wall before I decided to spend on Hogan. No more pulls for me, saved me $1,000 dollars for the casino. Thanks again for the heads up.

Scopely at their best. If you expect it cant get worse it will!
This was just a waste of time and ressources!
But also want to thank scopely! It helps me much at my decision to quit this game after 4 years of playing.
Have enough of this crap!!!

That's really weak.
20 shards of a character that costs 4'000 to recruit isn't a reward. It's garbage. It took well over 150k blitz tickets to max all 4 solo events. The best part about the solo events really should have been the mystery coins. Instead it was the fking straps that were given. Think about how terrible that is - when straps are better than loot coins.
There was nothing nice about this. How you can have the nerve to call it nice is a disgrace. Throw in the how many of the other events were broken, milestones not counting etc. - and you add up to a truly awful month for players. How are you going this fix this? If the first blitz for the new MLC is anything to go by, you're doing a shit job of it.

This is unacceptable. There are not different perspectives on this. Maybe instead of just providing a blanket "Thanks for the feedback" on any ideas we have, actually do something to make the gaming experience better for your players. You overcharge for a product that is very sub par. You only listen to a few whales and they determine where this game goes(little content and lots of store offers). That leads to a frustrated customer base and this response does nothing to show that you care. I suggest getting a couple community managers as this is NOT working.

Everyone has already beat this to death, but I just wanted to add on the fact that not only were the rewards total garbage, but there was also the fact that Scopely arbitrarily decided to require 3x mystery coins per pull. What is that? Did people get more than you expected so you just had to reign them in? Why not just give 1/3 the coin rewards in the milestones? Instead, you used a deceptive tactic to give people even less value for their time and money than what they were expecting.

What an absolute piece of horse crap. Spend tons of tickets and real life cash for mystery coins to get a shard bag. In that bag guys we can get for free. wrestlmania season and thats the best you come up with. Absolute joke of a company if i treat my customers id be out of a job. Sack which ever useless wet bag that makes these events and put someone with at least half brain in charge at least that way we may get something decent back from all the time and money we put into this game.

Why ignore every single player that spent time not only playing the event, but also took time out of their day to give you an honest assessment ? Saying it’s a difference of opinion is insulting to our intelligence.
