"Soul Man" Spectacular (+Giveaway)

What i like: i just like playing the game it is nice that the shield has been implemented. Rewards are better for the ones who can't max the event. The function of the event.

What i don't like: it is another event that is impossible to max unless you spend a lot of real money

Pros:

Rewards for this SD look to be the best I've seen in SD since it was revamped.

Cons:

1. Rewards are set to the higher milestones which you have to either have all the posters or spend large amounts of money to get. You are still dangling carrots in our face that we cannot reach.

2. Stop making events that cannot be maxed without spending. Make it so that those who want to spend can spend but those who want to grind it out can also do so. Shame on you for making these events so you have to grind and spend to max.

3. Dropping the worth of SD coins was a spit in the face to the entire community. Selecting posters that are mostly rare and not common to the game community for the SD event was like being sodomized after you already spit in our face.

We get you have to make your money Scopely. But you can do that and still keep the game enjoyable and fun for most of the community. You have done it in the past and we know you can do it on a regular basis. Come on Scopely...it's time to step your game up but in a way that's respects the community which keeps this game going!

Hello I’ve been playing the current contest and the best constructive criticism I can give is to allow normal players a chance to win all the rewards without spending large amounts of actual money. The game is more fun when all players have the same advantage rather than more fortunate players being able to spend real money and get competitive advantages. Thanks

This is a decent contest but could be improved. The rewards for the faction contest are very low until the last 3 milestones. The mixed showdown matches are also difficult. It would be better if it was not mixed. Also it be nice to be able to finish the event without spending. Match ups have improved though. Thanks for this giveaway.

Soul Man has been meh. I understand making it difficult for players to cap, but for people lacking God/S Tier superstars (Zombie Triple H, Austin, Paige,etc.) or even no 5sb/SS it is difficult in general.

the tours are so so. Difficulty is very high which isn’t bad but I couldn’t really participate.

A paywall is understandable to 100% complete, but even the mid tier rewards are unobtainable with spending a bunch. Casual players that want to be more involved can’t succeed to an extent.

not everyone feels this way but it is my own thoughts.

Pros:

- 30k sd coins to max was good and gettable for everyone and the rewards were good

Cons:

- you could not max all other events without spending

- too much pts for new champs like new Rock and new Naomi

- extremly bad rewards for team event

- free pts were really low

- again same shard amount in Bronze till gold bags for minimum and in 90% we just get the minimum

- like everytime a new champ we could not get without hilarious luck or spending. Why never a champ which everyone could get for playing

The good was the rewards for the milestones. The bad was the last milestone for Solo and Faction was pretty unrealistic for most. And the ugly is the scoring system. Lowering the points per SD coin. Another contest where no faction will reach the final milestone. Makes players not even want to try. Not to mention the blog post doesn’t match the scoring system in the game.

A little over 7.4mil not gonna max this event everything is max i think this is the hardest I’ve grind for this game in awhile and very disappointed it was all just to look at the finish line and not get it. So after saying that here are my pros and cons.

pros: Although it was fun at the beginning I did find it better that I didn’t have to keep searching for opponents and get this opponent has been attacked already.

The rewards are great and much better than before but this part has a con to it which I will talk about later.

Cons: although this game can be fun it’s also disheartening when you have to grind so hard only to get disappointed when you don’t get the rewards your grinding so hard for looking at the factions and solo no faction that I can see is maxing it. As far as the solo I have friends that maxed it so for that part I am happy for them but they also had every character and still had to spend a lot to max which in this case shouldn’t have been the case per past solo SD events.

im just really disappointed that this was not reachable like other events where I’m not going to bash you guys as I know you have a business to run but I am positive you will make money regardless if you make the game a little bit realistic for people to reach each milestone.

like I said I know people can and have accomplished this and in no way am I knocking them for that it’s like I said it’s just said when you work so hard for you to get right at the end and can’t do nothing

I cannot stress enough how nice it is not to encounter "opponent not available" or to have less than a second to dive into a match. That improvement makes for a much more enjoyable experience.

I'm still running into opponents that are a huge notoriety mismatch and/or 5ss and it just doesn't seem right when there is such a disparity in power at that level.

I know we've seen the term "stretch goal" thrown around here but the gap between the 9th and 10th milestone was ridiculous. It does not inspire me at all. I know I can't hit it so I just quit and play games that are more friendly until the time runs out. I'm not spending money here. The RNG, the shards, the terrible customer service from support...you don't deserve any of my money.

Reaching milestone 9 of 10 and not even reaching 50% of the shards needed for Soul Man. Terrible. Uninspiring.

I'm not paying for loot bottom loaded with useless characters or far too few shards.

The showdown event was decent if the goal was to only allow the playerbase with the rare characters a chance to max it. Having consistent available showdown matches has been a great improvement along with the lack of excessive attacks on the defense as you're trying to maintain notoriety. The rewards were good enough to push to get as high as possible. The tour was also decent with the requirements. The Sasha link being removed without warning mid event was disappointing.

I really enjoyed this showdown as there was no "Not available at this time" sign and was able to fight whomever i chose out of the 3 without having any issues. The contests were pretty good but that last milestone was very hard to even get near and would make it nice if it was closer to milestone 9 in points to be more obtainable. I know that to max events we are to purchase items in the store to get the points but with that margin between 9 and 10 milestone not many will buy anything to reach the 10th milestone as it was too much of a point difference maybe make it closer as more people would be willing to buy something to get to that last milestone.

Showdown Challenge:

• The leaderboard had some issues due to players saving SD coins from the previous week. Other players needed 350 or so defense wins to compete with this. This system is also dependent on others attacking you, which is difficult to control. A simple '1 point per win' event is probably a better system.
• Very achievable final milestone. Every player had an opportunity to max this event, and the rewards were quite good.

Faction Event:

• The math was clearly off for this event which can be seen by the current leaderboard. I can only assume the scoring was miscalculated. Very disappointing.

Solo Event:

• While this event wasn't realistically maxable for most, there was a clear divide for people who want to spend to get all the way to the 8M milestone and those who could target the 5.5M milestone. I actually think this event had a good balance. Average rewards for most, big rewards for spending a lot. The only complaint here is that maxing the event still left some players over 1,000 shards away from recruiting Rocky.
• I am always happy to see friends and faction-mates get lucky from the milestone bags. At the same time, it did feel unfair to people who spent a lot of money to max the event and still didn't get Rocky.
• The CSS menu cannot display all the bonus characters, which is quite frustrating at times. A limit on the number of characters would be a temporary solution until we can scroll this list.

Tours:

• I like that the CSS were 'only' for faction points. Although I couldn't use the CSS for most of the tours, I could still contribute to the faction event by using CSS in Showdown instead. I enjoyed this choice of how to score points.
• No bonus/victory tour for Rocky Johnson. This would have been a nice reward for those who recruited him.

Got to say this could have been a much better event than it was although i did enjoy.

Solo.... this portion of the event was pretty solid except needed nxt roman for hell mode lol was that just a way to make people build him lmao.

Favtion event.

this was good except the math was clearly miles off as seen by not a single faction maxing it hopefully this doesn't happen again.

overall good event just little issues that need to be fixed up for future events.

This has actually been one of the better showdown event in about a year !!! Kind of wish I wouldn't see 40 socko's after 700 notoriety😅😅
