    For the most part this SD was better than in the past...I had 0 issues engaging in matches which made game play so much better.

    I would like to see more chase character shards available and would also like to see bonus characters have an open character option to give us more opportunities to max event.

    The showdown itself was a massive improvement. Very smooth finding opponents. The issues there seem to have been resolved.

    As for the rest of the event, the rewards need to scale better for each league. The tour rewards were not good at all for someone in league 17. The rewards in the event milestone also seemed to be a bit lower than previous showdown events.

    The required bonus characters also seemed a bit extreme. It's one thing to have a rare character for Hell mode on the tour and through in another one (along with the new character) for the SD bonus points, but there were 4 in this showdown that were quite rare leaving a lot people with no chance at any of the decent rewards that were in the event milestones.


    Bottom line, the game play improvements far outweigh the low rewards presented here making this a very successful event. Biggest suggestion at this point is to better scale the rewards for league 16 and 17 players. We don't need 2 and 3 star tokens anymore, and 10TP doesn't do anything for us either.

    Showdown event has improved. I dont see opponent not available. Milestones a little hard to archieve

    Hello I love showdowns and the new Naomi is awesome looking. 1st its tough to grind showdown unless u have a top tier male and top tier female. 2nd we should be separated by our talent level like 0 to 500k rosters then 501k to 1mill and so on cause my opponents are 5ss after notoriety 300 or so which is crazy. 3rd I can never use finish off using bonus characters cause not low enough opponents. 4th I shouldn't have to spend to grind that's not the samething it's just getting tougher I have almost 1 million roster and haven't maxed a showdown ever. Thanks for giveaway. IGN. REVEAL

    The showdown to go with the contest was much better than previous ones. Less issues finding matches and attacked less due to recent changes. So credit to you for that.

    Tours were ok nothing special but nothing to negative.


    Milestone rewards were same as usual so nothing to add there either.

    I really liked the new changes to Show Down but on the other hand top bonus characters for Show Down events MLC tours are hard to come by for the majority of the community..

    positives: the showdown system itself seemed to worked better this time - not a single opponent already been attacked forcing coin refreshes.


    Plenty of opportunity to buy shards not obtained in tours if going for the chase.


    solid rewards around - including a boss plate.


    opportunities: I miss the days of having a two star chase poster in the final milestone

    coins could be x10 what they are currently and players would still not have enough for what we would like to do


    Cost of switching trainers and coaches- it would be great if this decreased as the rarity increased. (The opposite of the way it is now)



    thanks

    I think showdowns are finally heading in the right direction. It seemed way easier to keep my notoriety up and that meant that it wasn’t an all day grind!

    I’d like to see some of the early milestones get a buff in coin rewards. Typically the only way to get a good chunk of coins out of the showdown events is by getting the final few milestones but this requires either having all of the characters for maximum points or by spending money on pulls. I’d like to see the f2p players as well as newer players getting a good amount of coins too.

    Another thing I would like to see added to the milestones are toolboxes or an assortment of props. I feel like props have become so rare to come by now and they are a great part of the game that feels lost. Bringing props back would be a positive boost in the life and longevity of this game.

    I think the amount of showdown coins we can earn as well as the weekly bonus should all get increased. We need literally thousands now with the addition of new character shards in the shop.

    The good: It had an open tour.

    The bad: Not enough required toons to earn points in the faction contest.

    The ugly: Same old copy paste, rewards not worth the time or effort.

    So I actually enjoy the Showdowns but feel that some changes could help. Not necessarily just this past one, but with all of them. With that being said and before I list what I would like to see changed, great job on the " finding an opponent" fix. This past showdown was much smoother.

    As a ftp player, I would like to see more scoring opportunities with common sups. The bonus characters always seem to be chase characters.

    On the mixed tag showdowns, I would love it if the men sups were in the first spot. Most everyone's men's sups are stronger than the women and its easier to win and score if the roles were reversed.

    Finally, bring back showdown coins for the faction event. Back when, if you collected showdown coins, it would count towards the faction contest as well as the solo. Go back to that. It was easier to help your faction place than it is now.

    A few pros and cons, really enjoyed this event with find people to play against not continually having to reset to find someone to fight against. This change is a positive one. Another addition to this could be a 3 tier opponent system giving set reward which people can see they are getting based on who they fight. An easy, mid, hard. Easy being someone of lower talent, mid same talent, hard a higher talent.

    Most rewards are not achievable now without having to spend money to get. After maxing both days and having the bonus characters except naomi and wendi. The max rewards should be achievable for all players without having to spend a fortune.

    The rewards from the tours should have multiple options to allow different people to get different rewards. As most decent rewards are behind rare and difficult to get characters. Meaning they are hard to obtain for most people.

    Thanks for reading this feedback.

    Really nice to have a smooth running showdown. Tour had okay rewards too, but the biggest improvement was definitely the lack of unable to attack messages. The new solution seemed much better than the last showdowns one, as then we still sat there whilst it auto refreshed :)

    Pro:

    there were no problems with finding opponents, not a single "opponent not available"... this was great!!

    Milestones achievable



    Con:

    it would be nice to actually EARN a new char like naomi... not always 3/4 of the shards for free and the rest you have to buy! (or get lucky in a lootpull)

  • Pros:

    • Showdown Ran a lot smoother - I don't think I ever couldn't find a match when trying to engage which was very encouraging
    • The tours were accessible including side nodes without needing a bonus character (though I'm not sure Becky Tech is widely available enough yet to justify her being the normal mode bonus character - perhaps hard yes)
    • Didn't feel like my notoriety dropped much when I lost on defence
    • Nice change to do F/M showdown


    Cons

    • Naomi not obtainable when maxing solo (and you need either her or HOF Wendi to be able to max anyway) - maybe rikishi or Nia would have been good additions for points for the F2P people to earn points with - even with about 12 months of gold league loot still haven't got jimmy uso just 605/800 so couldn't use him either.
    • Pull rates still pretty horrendous - far too many pulls of Roman and Acro Naomi than anything else
    • The cost of the shard packs of Naomi after the showdown to try and complete her. Scenario 1800/2000 shards when maxing the solo and not getting RNG - can only get the additional 100 shards from her tour if you pull her at a lower rarity and somehow beat a hell mode chyna with her for 50 shards of naomi. It shouldn't cost $100 to get 60 shards and then another $100 for another 40 when people have already pulled and grinded the weekend to get her.
    • Faction event tasks were limited - didn't seem like anything really worthwhile getting from those milestones either

  • Pros:

    showdown worked pretty well, not having any error of opponent not available was refreshing

    milestones were doable as long as you had all but Naomi for requirements


    contra.

    2000 naomi shards were to much. i have been to ms 12 and have 1075 shards. 4sb with 1200 would be better. i would have paid for the rest shards

    Both events in last 2 weeks make me just want to quit a little more ...

    This sd I grind what I can just like always but knowing I could grind hours more I couldn't get more no motivation with that kind of event anymore ...

  • ThePaulrus

    Overall, this showdown was better than most, in my opinion. Didn't hit massive 5ss wall, which was a big plus, so whatever you guys are doing to fix SD matchmaking, bravo.


    On the less fun end, keying completion of the milestones in the event to having chase characters is a bad idea. You should provide a grindy but possible path to completion for all events for FTP players.


    Additionally, tying faction contest points to random luck in shard bag draws is a bad idea in that it makes it near impossible to gauge faction involvement in the event.

    Just do the good work that's all what I can say

  • jsoltero1

    This showdown ran much smoother than previous ones. I suggest that in mixed tag matches, players be allowed to switch between male and female characters to start out with. I also propose that, instead of specific superstars to progress in the showdown solo/faction contest, you can place rewards based on class and/or star rating.

    Smoothest and best running Showdown in ages. How it should be. Dont change it

  • Blunt

    It would be nice if you guys would make the characters obtainable if you max the event like you used to. These events are good but sometimes it's frustrating as a player that is ftee to play because the contests require you to have characters you have to spend to get. Even if you made it to where the character was obtainable at 1sb for free to play and added more milestones for pay to play to get them at 2sb and up.

    Much better than many previous showdowns. Main complaint is my second wrestler would take damage when not used in the match. This happened about 6 times. Other than that, very smooth this time

    Best showdown for a while with no issues. However would of been better if odds of obtaining Naomi were higher. The shard bags gave small amounts and a huge amount of people finished around 300 shards shy of recruiting her which is extremely disappointing gong and frustrating especially for some of us p2p

    Bags only content of shards and never had enough to unlock Naomi

    The contest was fine. Didnt get any opponent unavailable messages so that is a step in the right direction.

  • Memo_2900
    Memo_2900 Member

    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.

    But not the worst event

    I am happy to see you have fixed issues with showdown. no opponent unavailable made it a lot more fun to play

    like the mix of shards giving us a chance to finally unlock certain characters.
