Naomi's Showdown Scrimmage (+Giveaway)

Can't say too much about it because I cuz mine is not that because my Naomi I can't finish it because she's not strong enough

I would like to say that this finally might be the first showdown that has no problems as of yet, there was definitely a major improvement with the opponents, I managed to get about 500 notoriety in about 2 hours and I haven't seen 1 single message "opponent unavailable " even the 2 star opponents I had enough time to switch my wrestler for the bonus points and fought them without a problem. I also haven't dropped a lot of notoriety so giving us the chance to get a lot of points the next day is really great

So as far as the showdown goes I personally feel like you nailed the spot with this one.

Personal preference would be to slightly increase the multiplier or amount of coins we get, so we can work on getting the posters on the shop but that's more general showdown than the event.

It's great that the coins are worth 80 so we will definitely reach a couple of milestones.

Only real downside would be the css I would personally include more like Nia Jax and rikishi wich are apart of the rocks family

Other than that I believe that this showdown is going without any major problems

Its nice not to have opponent unavailable popping up. Haven't even seen it once this time.

Matchmaking itself is still a problem. I'm hitting the wall of 5sb and 5ss at less than 400 notoriety. And those opponents have notoriety well over 600. End result is I still can't get reasonable matches.

I still think you do the "bonus" backwards in the tours. The first time reward should be the contest point and the bonus should be tokens, coins, etc. It has never made sense to me why you do it the other way.

I was probably going to do one of these up anyway, but I'll certainly take a chance at getting Naomi as well.

• It's going to be odd to see one of these threads without nearly everyone talking about how they can hardly play Showdown for 12 hours. Not that I'm going to miss it (either the conversations or the old system) - Playing showdown resulted in zero issues with trying to get matches or even with getting attacked - there was one instance where I got attacked twice within two minutes of each other, but generally it was more than tolerable.
• Will say though - not the biggest fan of all the matches being full 5SS teams the second you go past 400/500. Seems a bit of an artificial climb to me.
• Tours (Or tour, I don't have Naomi as I type this) was about the same general quality we got - surprisingly good rewards for an event tour. Not a big fan of HOF Richter on Hell, but whatever it's only for faction points, no biggie.
• Bonus characters in showdown were pretty even-keel for the most part, and they all fit on the screen which is a big plus. Wish they all required fewer matches for - there's about 85 matches (Assuming no overlap, to be fair - You could do a bonus for both characters and HOF can be fulfilled by both slots and/or HOF Brie) for me to do for just the bonus point characters.
• This is more of an arbitrary add-on, but I am glad Naomi got a good poster - she definitely deserved a better moveset than the Acrobat version, even if said Acro version kept my women's roster above water when the women first got released.
• Deals were a bit better compared to the Rock event - some cheaper deals that offered better value/loot coin, and some freebies along with it. Shame about the loot itself, though, which seemed to be mostly full of duds (YMMV, of course).

Also, I've already sent a ticket out for this, but apparently all of my events got disabled at some point and it required a reset for me to get them back. However, I already collected my weekly showdown tokens before noticing this and I didn't get any points from those tokens towards the contest. Maybe this happened to someone else, so just a heads up before you collect any showdown tokens. EDIT: Support got back to me pretty quickly, got me the points I was missing.

Pros:

1. not having the opponents constantly unavailable;

2. Open tour was impossible of completing despite not having any female character above 4 star silver;

3. Characters required for Showdown were 50% common characters.

Cons:

1. Nearly impossible of getting bonus points from tour;

2. After surpassing 400 or so in SD ranking 90% of opponents had 5k+ overall on me ;

3. Nearly impossible to get to the 9th reward.

4. As per usual, the odds in the loot were horrendous... And I don't even mean for landing in each level, but of getting some characters in each level... 5his should be more clear, because it's not understandable that from a pool of around 20 characters you keep getting the same over and over again.

All in all, not the worst event ever, but far from being the best.

Pros:

• Increasing the points for showdown coins back to 80 made maxing the event more realistic than past events. It was still out of reach without spending, but the number of loot coins needed wasn't crazy. Personally, I needed the $99 pack with 65 pulls to max, which is far more reasonable than past events.
• The tour was pretty quick and it was nice that the CSS were only required for faction points. With the faction event being easy to max, it wasn't essential to have or beat all of the nodes with the CSS.
• The new showdown system where notoriety is only lost once seems to have worked excellently from what I have seen and heard from others. I had no issues finding matches this weekend and didn't need to refresh opponents at all.

Cons:

• Removing the 'Win a SD Match' contest (similar to the Lash-Out Solo Contest) was a big disappointment. I really hope this returns for the next Showdown event.
• Doing all the required matches in SD, staying above 700, earning the maximum coins, spending, and doing TU to max an event should earn more than 1400-1500 shards. As many people have asked for over the past year or more, a guaranteed poster (of any rarity) should be attainable by maxing.
• Loot pulls were very poor. If the drop rate is going to be so low for the poster, at least increase the number of shards so that people can try to pull for the shard recruit.
• RNG bags should be switched out for a set number of shards per milestone (with a chance at a poster). It's unfair that players who max the event can be so far apart in their shard count at the end of the event. I've seen players at the same milestone with 400 shards between them.

Overall Experience:

This showdown scrimage was enjoyable. I did not run into "player unavailable" or "player can't be attacked" this event. It went overall flawless. Was it me, or the shard bags were automatically collected at each check point this time? (This may have been something that was also automated before but I failed to notice.) I did notice a wall at the top tier of the showdown ( 799-999999), everyone had their 5sb 5ss characters - maybe there could be more tiers for the showdown or some way to separate the lower level "league" players from higher tiers. (Coming from a lower league player, it was quite quick before I reached the top tier vs the 5sb/5ss was impossible)

Pros:

Smooth matching game play

Gaining showdown and ranking up was enjoyable

Cons:

Not enough ranks - easily to reach "max tier"

Matched against players that weren't even

Should have more points awarded for participating in the actual Showdown (faction and solo)

Suggestion:

Mini Contest Within Faction - Awards for Rank 1 - 5 within faction?

Not as "new" superstar dependent - I understand the marketing behind it, but if you are looking for participation, I think you should lower the contest points for the "new" superstar being used in and create a better spread of "bonus points" to either more characters or more points for other superstars. I noticed many of my faction mates didn't really care for this event... Not sure why, but participation was weak on this one.

Side note - I wanted to purchase the Diamond Shine Shard Bag from the Store, but I did not know what the range of shards that could be attained. 10 to ????? (I can find bronze, silver and gold in the game for reference but not diamond?)

Thanks

Stay Safe

I have only have 1 main point to prove on this feedback. That is if you have the capability to complete the solo portion of any showdown event in which there's a chase character there should be way better odds on getting that character. Know of numerous amounts of people that were able to complete it and still didn't get the new Naomi. This needs to change not a good thing at all.

In the shard bags must be more shards in it. I close to max.. 14/15 and about more daanb 700 shards a missing too much i think.

But great was that i haven't opponent is not avai. Great change :)

I love the adjustment made to the showdown event as regards to finding opponents. I however believe that there should be ways to maxing the showdown events if you don't have some of the required characters. Thanks

more Tours for earning Naomi Shards would be great. Especially tours with „normal“ chars

the changes in finding opponents in the SD Mode was really good. Thanks for that!

Over all it was a good event

pros- solo event we s achieve able levels.

rewards were good on all levels

cons - faction event was limited with tasks. 1 person in our faction maxed out Mickie and Trish levels themselves.

rewards for faction contest should have been better if so limited to earn

no points for winning matches

I don't have Naomi but I see some video she is not so good. Kindly make some special move for her. Feel Glow all time. So when we play Naomi Charter Then Make all Lights Are Glowing 👍🏼

I have to say, the showdown was this time a very pleasant experience, because there wasn’t any problems anymore with ,,The enemy is being attacked, etc“!

The Tour was a bit hard because I have not the right superstars for the bonuses but nonetheless it was a nice weekend this time 😊

This showdown certainly seemed to run a lot smoother than previous ones, no more unavailable opponents or having less notoriety after a fight than you started with despite winning. Very much an improvement.
