NEW KOFI, OLD MP TRAINER

Hey Champions,
Before we head straight into Summer 2021 (still a few weeks to go) we want to do some more Spring cleaning in WWE Champions 2021.
We thought it might be good to freshen up the Entourage Locker Room once more and who is best suited for this if not him, New Day’s BRAND-NEW Kofi Kingston!

With the upcoming change to the yellow MP trainer what will happen if you have an affiliation strap for akam. Will it be changed for new Kofi or does the belt become useless since it is specific for akam.
0 -
In addition to the affiliation strap for Akam, what about Akam gear? Also, will we get the replacement card at the same level as the Akam currently in inventory? What about the moves?
Thanks

As stated on the blog “He will completely REPLACE the old +4 Yellow MP Trainer, including new Move animations and descriptions. You will find posters and shards for him in contests and Loot. If you owned the old Trainer already (or his shards), you would automatically find ALL-NEW Kofi Kingston “Power of Positivity” in your Roster!” That would mean level etc. As far as the Gear if you do have it then it should change.

Will we find Kofi instead of Akam at the same level and moves or will we be refunded the coins and TP we had invested in him?

Based on what The Pac Man you'll have a 1 to 1 replacement of him in your roster.

gonna what to make sure the affiliation straps work out too.

Very interested in the affiliation strap transferring over whether it's modern showboat or akam specific. That not happening would be a slap in the face to players.
0 -
Nothing changes if you have akam already then it will switch off like last time, same info was post on the blog
0 -
Affiliation strap will not be a issue and will be able to use on the new kofi seeing that akam was a Sb and kofi will be a Sb.

Hi there, just letting you know that I am a passionate WWE Champions gamer for nearly three years.
In all that time, I have had to deal with all sorts of issues experienced by many people, but unlike some people who like to hurl abuse and invective at the Support team Scopely for anything they don't like, I on the other hand would prefer to accommodate those issues and would on occasions defend Scopely for the actions they take against those abusers and haters.
So in other words, I am as fairweather a player as you would expect, I am appreciative, respectful to anyone and expect the same in return.
I am also a Co-Leader of the Golden Fireflies faction and I am highly respected among my own peers.
So believe me if I ever criticise Scopely it will be done respectfully, and hope you do read this and respond in the respectful manner that it deserves.
So with regards to the new Kofi Kingston character that replaces the Akam character... please DO NOT DO THIS TO ANOTHER CHARACTER AGAIN.
I have worked extremely hard for my roster. I have put my heart and soul into it. I am proud of what I have achieved so far. It is because of my roster that I identify with it, and it with me.
So any changes done to my roster, without prior consent through notification, and a period of time for the acceptance of those changes, is wrong and needs to stop.
I accept the fact that ultimately, my roster is not actually mine.
My roster is actually yours. It's Scopely's!
I accept that this means that you can do whatever you want to it, regardless of whether we like it or not.
Now admittedly this new Kofi character is better than Akam. I think that you are doing this with all good intentions.
But I urge you to STOP, because you are setting a dangerous precedent.
By doing this, and if I don't object to this, these changes won't stop with Akam.
If I don't object to this, you can then do the same with Rezar.
Then you can do it with Rusev.
Then Dean Ambrose.
And Chris Jericho.
And Sting.
And Samoa Joe.
And Karl Andersson and Luke Gallows.
And even Daniel Bryan.
And anyone for that matter who is not part of WWE, whether they leave acrimoniously or not.
How long is that piece of string guys??
And my roster will have completely changed from the one I had before in months or years to come.
Like I said, my roster identifies me, and me my roster. Changing my roster in this way threatens my identity, and the pride I feel when I develop it. It is the very reason why I keep playing. Changing it this way is like my roster is no longer mine anymore. I can't own it.
But why stop there?
If you don't like me, you can sabotage my roster by replacing my good characters with bad ones.
Or if you really do like me, you can enhance my roster by replacing my bad characters with great ones.
Now, before you introduced the new Kofi Kingston character, the possibilities that you could introduce in a roster would have been UNTHINKABLE.
The problem we now have is you have created that precedent.
In my opinion, that precedent is dangerous and scary.
Please DO NOT REPLACE characters. Add them instead!
Just because you have the right to do whatever you want with our roster, it doesn't make it right!!
Yours faithfully,
Kman101

What was the reason for the reskin of Akam. I could care less about Akam, because I never cared about Authors of Pain in WWE. But if this is the shape of things to come then one day Scopely may destroy the characters I do care about! And that is NOT good!
1 -
as you know AOP are no longer with the company, which would have put a stop for new players or even veterans from obtaining shards to unlock or the card itself, in the long run it works out for those that still may need him new or old and his training abilities at 9k. Your other concern is a bit drastic. Normally the re skinned only happened to a couple of characters, which are no longer with the company. But good things have come out from doing a re skin.
0 -
We appreciate your feedback. unfortunately if a character needs to be re skinned it may have been in the works prior, not to make your roster weak, but better.
0 -
I'm honestly confused why anyone is opposed to reskins when the only alternative is that the card becomes unavailable.
You like Sunny Dhinsa (Akam) so much that no one else in the game deserves to have the yellow mp trainer?
I guess for me, I've long ago divorced the notion that the picture on the front of the card is what has the value, its the attributes on the back of the card that is important. So in this case, I dont care about Enzo, I dont care about Akam, and I dont care about Kofi...I care that I have the yellow mp trainer who has a solid self-healing ability when I use him in matches. After that, I wouldn't care if it was Barry Horowitz (actually that would be great!).
I am pissed off about wolfpac Sting, but not because it was wolfpac Sting, its because I want that card and have invested years worth of showdown coins in trying to get it. So slap Louie Spicolli on that card and get it back in circulation.
Clearly I look at this differently than others.

Completely agree Mammoth... as a character, who cares about Akam? As I have argued in my piece, because Scopely has done this, it sets a precedent for them to replace anyone in your roster.
So if Akam seems easy pickings to replace by Scopely, what happens when it's your favorite character? Because the way I see it, you are being softened up, or conditioned for more changes to occur to your roster.
I see I got the reply from Scopely in that they are saying the reasons they are doing this is to make my roster better.
I agree with them and acknowledge this in my original reply already. But, that is not the point! It never is!
Finally, THANK YOU for your understanding of my point of view. Cheers, K

Hi Doctor,
See my previous comment. I actually don't care two hoots about Akam. I really don't.
This is where you missed my point which means you need to read my argument in its entirety.
That is because Akam is just the start, the insignificant, tiny, little, teensy weeny character of things to come.
You need to look at the big picture and see the possibility that at some time in the future, that massive changes can occur to your roster without your consent.
Whether you like it or not, whether it's going to happen to your most insignificant characters, or your most liked characters or your most hated, the truth is no one will be spared.
Call me a pessimist. Call me an alarmist. Tell me that wholesale replacements to every character that has left WWE and joined rival promotions will never happen.
But until they started doing that to Akam, you can never rule that out. Regards, K

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it.
I will put up with Kofi this time. And if you have one or two more in the works, I will put up with that too.
But I urge you to stop this practice in the future.
And if you are really considering replacing characters, I also urge you to add them to rosters instead. You can still achieve your overall objective of "not making your roster weak, but better".
But You will get lots of kudos, stacks of credit and gazillions of happiness from every WWE Champions fan at what a great group of guys and gals you really are!
Just sayin'! Cheers, K

I read your entire post. It was unconvincing. The real issue here is sometimes Scopely loses the rights to feature likenesses of various individuals. You would prefer newer players have no access to the yellow mp trainer?
0 -
I appreciate your feedback and its something that I can pass on to the devs for future references.

I know that, man. But we both know that not just a couple of guys are no longer with WWE. And Sting is one of them! But maybe I shouldn't worry about Sting because scopely already made a second red MP trainer. So now all new and old players are able to get one. So maybe I shouldn't worry about it. And I hope that guys like Sting, Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy will stay in this game. Because my approach to this game is completely opposite to @DrWhargoul's. And I don't care about getting top tier character, or top trainer/coach if I don't like him as a wrestler, or if I don't like the character. I only evolve and chase characters which I like and want to play for.

My dear Doctor,
To answer your question, the answer is no. Again, that's not the point.
I can see that from the outset of your first post that it doesn't matter which character is on your roster as long as you don't lose your benefits.
Whereas I on the other hand, and plenty of people like me, am attracted to the game because of those characters.
I care about the possibility of wholesale replacement of large numbers of characters of which Akam is just the start whereas you don't.
If that's the case I can never convince you the merits of my argument.
In my response to Scopely's decision to continue with the policy of replacements, I suggested that rather than replacing, wouldn't it just be better to add them instead? So in this example, you can have Akam AND Kofi, if that were the case that would be no problem. And both can have the Yellow MP charge trainers if that makes you happy.
I am going to end my discussion now. If you choose to make a comment that's ok but don't expect a reply.
Like I said I can't convince you otherwise. But I do respect your opinions, so I will just leave it there. Regards, K

I hope they all stay in the game. K

This was a major part of the discussion when Enzo and ADR were replaced. However feedback from the community was almost universally in favor of reskins. As for why we don't just ADD it provides a HUGE advantage for the players that had the original character and later players can never get on even footing. Additions work better for ones that don't stack to make things overly powerful. In the end it's possible for any character to get reskinned in part due to contracts with WWE.

🙊... Why did they change Enzo into Kofi ... 🙈
🙉 Waisted opportunity for a ... first CMpunk

Woke up today to the shock that my Akam aka Fat Enzo aka Fnzo belt has been removed from my New Kofi and from my inventory as a whole.
So while I was able to put Akam on 2 different people, Kofi I can not.
I was under the impression the belt would not be removed from Kofi.
Considering the fact that I spent money to win the Akam belt from some loot, I'd appreciate the belt returned, or a Kofi 2 trainer belt provided.
