    overall event was good. However, the showdown timer lost about 13 hours.

    On top of this, the 1500 reset for some to where they are able to do a 3rd daily run. While this is great for them, we ALL should have this capability. The additional reset would allow people who did not have some of the requirements max the showdown event by grinding it out.

    i can’t wait to see all the people complain here about the timer being changed minutes before reset. If it wasn’t intended then this should have been fixed way before now. You led people to believe that this was going to have one more reset. I don’t want to here subject to change because you just prevented players from hitting the another milestone. I see people were giving positive feedback but that won’t be the case anymore.



    also bags giving 10 shards or 5 shards each is ridiculous. The minimum should be 50-100.

    i don't care too much that you reduced the timer.

    If it was a mistake well then be it.

    It's just ridiculous that some players still could do a third run after you adjusted the timer while others couldn't because their sd coins didn't reset.

    I mean come on scopely! while i only would be able to max the event others dropped out of their 50 spot now because they didn't have the chance to get another 15k coins. that's just unfair

    I don't think there was enough 'variety' of contest players to receive bonus points. I felt like Naomi was the only player that would be "common" in most people's rosters.


    Overall - the event mechanics were good. Matching around the 480 to 700 mark seemed strange this time, as everyone I matched against was 4 star gold and above... Having only been playing the game for 2 months and only have 3 Star Gold as my highest female player - made attaining higher contest achievements difficult. (not impossible, but definitely not friendly!) I'm only league 11, and I feel like I'm matching guys that are league 15+... just wish it could be more noobie friendly sometimes.

    Mechanics - seamless without errors

    Matching - very difficult, felt like there was something changed from previous events. Everyone I was being matched with was out of my league and I could not progress any further.

    CP for contest - adequate shards for EST; wish there was more incentive to spend - ie: first loot pull points

    Contest Bonus Players - I've been playing this game for years and I hardly had any of the contest players except Feel the Glow Naomi

    I can't say I'm happy that the timer got changed so late. There was more than enough time to rectify the mistake. I burnt more health packs than I would have normally as I wanted to stay above 700 points for the 2nd reset.

    The event it self is just like any other Showdown event, nothing special. what's letting it down is the latest game update makes the overall game experience really unenjoyable.

    Ups and downs this weekend.

    • Rewards were fine enough, but there was an issue with everything being super packed into the last milestones as usual - over 9 million of the 12 million proposed coins and 800 of the proposed 1,370 TP were in the last three milestones, which I of course did not get due to showdown being so incredibly aggressive this weekend.
    • Here's the thing - I had every character (sans Bianca) for both the tour and the showdown event itself. I got every point possible through those methods. I think this event showed me that no matter how prepared you are, you'll get kneecapped if the matchmaker feels like ruining your weekend, because due to all the strapped up, perked up 5SS men/women combos I faced with zero relief (as in, a match I could possibly win) after 400 notoriety I didn't even sniff 600 notoriety, let alone 700.
    • Speaking of showdown, It's a good thing I waited for the reset instead of posting this following the very sudden takedown of the event with more than a day to go like I was going to initially - Again, doing these things suddenly is just going to be a rude awakening, and thankfully it was at least put up with some notice as to when it was actually going to go down this time. I do think the extra day would go a long way to make these showdown events much less strenuous, though, especially in the period where you're trying to get matches done with contest characters with lower talent.
    • Moving back to the positives, I thought the tours were rather well-done. Once again, contest rewards were limited to points so one could have a decent roster and not get a third of the resources they normally would have from a tour.
    • The Backlash tour, on the other hand, I did have some issues with. With the rewards were nice (love those straps) and I have expressed previously how I like the idea of implementing tours that mirror PPVs, I think the strength of a PPV event is that you can set up those 'real life' matchups, but they need to be in isolation - If you didn't have a Randy Orton leveled up for this tour, you didn't get to do any of the tour. Instead, I might suggest doing a tour for each match (This is being done elsewhere) so people can pick and choose the matches they can work on.
    • Deals improved as the weekend goes by, but those shard deals are seriously awful unless you're close enough that buying one of them would net you the character. Rousey for 50, though, I could maybe see someone picking up if their women's roster was lacking. The loot didn't seemed to be dud city this time (at least, judging from the faction pulls) but I also saw some videos bring up a lot of shards.

    Up until the reset screw up, I’d give the event a solid 8.5 / 10


    Pros:


    ·      Solo event was really well structured. A good mix of rare and common cards required for showdown.

    ·      Rewards for the solo event were very good. Great to see more faction MLC points available in Solo too.

    ·      The faction event was good. It’s great to see that almost 100 factions were able to complete the faction event.

    ·      Tours were ok. Good that they’re pretty short and even in hell mode opponents were very beatable.

    ·      No issues with the showdown matching or having opponents unavailable.

    ·      Good that the new card wasn’t a 2k shard recruit.

    ·      Good that portal rewards were increased, with a faction bonus too

    ·      Good that showdown coins are back to 100 points. Please keep this as a standard format.


    Cons:


    ·      The unintended reset was a real mess up. It’s totally unfair that some players were able to go for 15k showdown coins for a third time. It really impacts the leaderboard, and it’s not acceptable. What are you going to do to fix this and compensate players impacted by it?

    ·      No strap available for Bianca? There should be a decent strap made available for the new character, either as milestone or tour rewards

    ·      Scaling on the shard bags was improved, but still not great. The minimums really need to be increased and the ranges a lot narrower. Bronze 3 – 100 is bad. Make it 10 – 50. Silver 10 – 300, make it 25 – 100. Gold 25 – 600, make it 50 – 200. There’s no point in having artificial high maximums for these bags. Nobody is getting 600 shards from a gold bag.

    ·      Too many instances of health being drained from characters after matches. This has a huge impact on health packs when you need 200+ healthpacks because of the zero health issue. I had to send it 3 or 4 tickets to support for this issue. It’s happening too frequently, and seems to be worse after the new update.


    This would have been a much better event without the reset mistake.

    The coins addition was a good change in this SD. Though it is still nowhere near what the current meta requires.

    The requirements for SD were decent. Not having rarer characters like Sasha and Street Profits still hurt, but at least it was doable to a certain level. The change/ fix of the "opponents not available" is a huge reflief, though the matchmaking can still improve a lot. Overall, a decent SD after ages. I'd rate this 8/10.

  • CottonTech

    Great event. Showdown had no issues and was maxable without spending if you wanted to put in the effort. 2 thumbs up!

  • Donjay56
    Donjay56 Member ✭✭✭

    I know a lot people who were able to max without the Street Profits, and while both relatively rare, they gave out a ton of Dawkins during his SD event.

  • Donjay56
    Donjay56 Member ✭✭✭

    Overall, a very solid event. You didn’t need every character to max the event. I get why the Street Profits were used, but if that’s the case, give a link with Bianca. Great chance to recoup coins and resources. Wish maxing would give a lower version of the card, but other than that, good event.

    kind of disgrace for another scopely mess , why there are people able to get another 15k sd coins and another bunch of player sit there for nothing , i’m able to reach the final milestones for this 50 mystery shirt , and so do others. Do the things right and stop only serving the whales , and know what , fuck the RNG , make something guarantee in the milestones also bring back the joy of showndown, first u kill the fun of feud , now u kill the fun of sd , now left competition(fun?) of spending

    Bianca's event was being perfect. Great rewards, the confrontations in no time gave error against the opponent, I think that many closed the notoriety without much difficulty.


    However, they made a serious mistake in changing the time of the end of the confrontation at the last minute. many failed to close the event because of this Scorpely error. this cannot happen because they can lose the lovers of the game with this type of errors.

    Nice... Hope will give better shards. Thanks.

    Testing to ensure smooth launch of event. Make sure the events are on proper time (had an issue where the event disappeared, despite showing a day left). Also, place victory tours in separate events at the end of month. Not same day

  • Lukeario23
    Lukeario23 Member ✭✭✭

    This was an excellent event to be honest. The showdown format seems to be fixed (no issues of opponents unavailable).


    Rewards - very good rewards for the time required to max the event. Plenty of coins and a decent chunk of TP and tokens.

    Requirements - a mixture of rare superstars and a few easier to obtain ones. Could have added a few more easier to obtain to balance it out.

    tours - very good tours. Not overly difficult but still a challenge if you didn’t have the contest superstars at a high level for hell mode.

    the fact showdown coins were worth 100 points towards the event was fantastic. It means you could grind and make up the points you’d lost from not having the required bonus superstars.

    the one downfall of this event was the change of the in game timer. It showed over a day left and then reset the coins for some players which meant those chasing leaderboards were heavily affected.

  • barnzie
    barnzie Member

    1st point please make sure in game graphics are correct, your original timer displayed gave us an extra 24 hours and some players me included didn't do all the contest superstar matches

    2nd Female Striker nodes are a little unfair in tours, as ALL female strikers have been premium only, I have been playing since the start and still don't have a female striker because I don't spend much, you have given out plenty in other classes but never female striker, so maybe a free month long character who is Female and Striker

    3rd time frame for the contest, 13 hours to max before hand can be tricky for some with real life like work and family because afterwards there are 16 hours to max day 2 so maybe have same amount of time before and after rest to allow to max

    4th why with every event are 75% of contest superstars premium superstars, it doesn't give much incentive to play and grind if you can't max the event with spending on pulls for points and the required premium stars

    Has to be possibly one of the worst rewards given event. When the concept of first to race comes , people in SE Asia are at huge disadvantage with event starting at 00.30. For us it costs us a place in faction.

    Secondly, SD used to give good amount of coins but this event gave pennies as most couldn't have been close to maxing solo with such hard requirements of characters.


    If you guys want us to pay and play kindly let us know so the one's who are FTPs won't be disappointed with hope of landing any good characters any more.


    Thank you.

    There should be a option for a character whose points can be less but the amount of matches can be played with should be infinite so people can grind for milestones who dont have many bonus characters to play with

  • Cyrus0905
    Cyrus0905 Member

    the event was ok. but I stick to it, it must be possible for f2p to max the event! if you want to speed it up with cash ok! but if you don't have to, at least get the chance. with bonus characters like Streets Profits and SB the Boss you exclude 90% of the players again!

  • BIGGUNS7
    BIGGUNS7 Member

    This event need more rare superstar to complete event. That's it for me. But I enjoy the event.

  • Hollywood_Woza
    Hollywood_Woza Member ✭✭

    I thought this was one of the best showdown events for a long time. Why ?

    SD Coins were worth 100 points, the character requirements for the tours and bonus points weren’t too bad and the final milestone was achieved without having to spend any money.


    what I didn’t like?

    maxed the event and the tours and still didn’t recruit Bianca. At least 400+ shards short. That’s not great, maybe add her in to the last milestone at 2* Bronze?

    love the daily SD reward / offer from portal too.

  • DrWhargoul
    DrWhargoul Member ✭✭✭✭

    The event gets a huge black eye at the end with the showdown timer. I dont care so much if there was no intention to have a third day, the issue is that after the update some still got a third day of coins to earn while others did not. I could have hit 2 more milestones if I could have maxed a third day. And that just leaves a disappointing feeling at the end.

    Other than that, the showdown portion went really well.

    The tours sucked. Again. Event points should not be the "bonus". The backlash tour was the exact kind of character specifics that I think have been universally panned around here, yet you keep doing them.

    ***6/10 - reduced to 1/10 because of first con listed below***


    Pros

    • Showdown match making process has improved significantly
    • Good amount of coins in milestones
    • scoring flexibility- with most bonus superstars the final milestone was obtainable without current spending


    Cons

    • Showdown itself changed during the contest- it reset an additional day for some, but then time updated and for only a portion of the originally in game shown time. This allowed some an unequal opportunity for showdown coins / bonus points, directly impacts the leaderboard, and negatively changes value for those that spent towards placement. If this isn’t a direct violation of law, it is at minimum unintended dishonest business practices and leaves a sour taste in key demographics.


    • Drop rates for Bianca shards seemed lower overall than recent events.


    Thanks for your consideration 🥂

    There’s never been a better time to be a part of The Haven Family!

    Great Game Overall.


    But there comes a time to switch it up like showdowns and faction fueds.

    As folks build up beating the competition in there perspective league the should be able to keep facing the same league as them instead of moving up and face someone with a tag duo that is way higher than their's not alot of folks have 4sb and above let alone 3 stars just stating the obvious.


    The notoriety points should be a little bit higher than 21 if y'all want folks to get to the top then raise the stakes like make it something to shoot for like either give us the bags and or a wrestler it doesn't have to be a 3sb and above mabe a 1sb to start with like we get on the mlc events also make all milestones reachable as if we all were new at this game not those that have been playing since day 1 really would appreciate it.


    Lower the normal and hard mode in events make it kind of a mix of the road events where u start from the bottom and work your way up.

    Thank you for all that u guys and gals do to keep the game running really appreciate it.

    Scopely and Community, You all got me back to the game after more than a year. I joined back during this event and was amazed to see the improvements made for the members also its great to see that rewards are achievable if you have a moderate roster as well. I was not able to get much due to limited roster but I am sure game is being improved and I hope to build up my roster again and get back to those crazy feuds crushing tons of gems with my loving superstars, however I do miss the EST of WWE from my Roster of WWE champions. Hoping for a bettER, strongER and toughER roster for future.

    I'm disappointed that despite the timer indicating (admittedly it was unusual) that the showdown tournament would be live today, that it wasn't. Still, good job I didn't make a purchase to enable me to complete the event with this considered... oh.

    Also I ended up in one of those weird servers that had nothing but 5ss after the 4th match and I was never attacked. Not having a 5ss myself I couldn't complete the first day which was why the extra day was needed to finish the event.

    So all in all, a bit rubbish for me.
