Superstar Debut Feud(+Giveaway)

7/10.

Positives: rewards were great. Milestone somewhat doable.

To be improved: scoring was limited. Shard bags are subjective so I got 30-40 most times so a negative in my opinion. Feud timer should reflect on minimum requirements. I.e low minimum equals low brawl timer. Last milestones are set too far, no wonder people fall asleep it takes 12 hours to max. Feuding was painful too much lag.

The gameplay is great and the addition of new features keeps things from getting stale and boring but the recent update has issues with lag and connection issues. Injuries due to connection issues is the main problem for me. The feud was great but would love bonus superstars who can get more points to keep it more interesting and make maxing the solo event a little more manageable. Other than that I personally love the straps and medals and so an extra feature for that would be great. Or maybe drop the price for the straps in the faction store as 100,000 coins is a lot!

The event was ok at best. The rewards were below average with NO contest bonuses available.

The feud overall was ok. Some positives I liked were:

• time of feud was solid. Wasn’t too compressed and had time to feud no matter what time zone you were in
• requirements Weren’t too restrictive
• rewards were solid

negatives:

• scoring is too low. Takes way too much time to grind and feels like a full time job on the weekend
• app seemed laggy at times and froze several times after feuds.
• while the free daily bag was nice, would have been nice to have free points toward the feud event
• making the faction event all about stroman shards made it too reliant on rng instead of performance.

The best thing about this event was the feud was left fairly open. There were a couple of completely open spots and others that were fairly generic that allowed you to use a good lineup (though you may not get the bonus).

I'm not a fan of the contest that give points for finishing a fight and a brawl. In theory, it's a good system, but they require too many to reach high milestones. Also, this time the talent up was only for striker. Usually it's for the character's class and era which allows you more potential characters to talent up and gives you the chance at the popular "double dip". Also, I think the talent up points are WAY too low.

It used to be if you finished the event (hit last milestone) you either were guaranteed the character (maybe at a lower level) or you had most of the shards to get them. Now it's pretty common to finish an event and only have roughly half the shards needed. The bags vs guaranteed shards is weighted too low (except the Bradshaw APA that almost everyone seemed to get). When you get a GOLD bag and still may only get 10 shards, that makes you not want to try as hard. I think the higher level bags should have a higher floor. That is their min shards should be something like 100. I also thought the tour events were a bit limited with bonus character. Maybe have a tiered bonus character payout like you do with the blitzes. If you have Char A you get Bonus A, if you have Char B, you get Bonus B, if you have neither....you just get the regular reward and no bonus. The player chests were a nice prize BUT some of the characters in there and the amount of shards....I know we can't always get a new character, but to finish top 10 in a feud and get 75 Ciampa shards is way too low for that level. Usually if you get shards from a character you already have, you get several hundred so maybe you can build some moves.

Those are my thoughts.

Liked this event, was doable for FTP. Required a lot of grind but doable. I wish certain events had two different tier rewards, one for playing and grinding. Complete more matches, wins, etc. that way people who grind get decent rewards. It seems unless you spend you can never max.

Since this most recent update, the screen performs two glitches: 1. When I perform a high damage move, the screen momentarily fades out a bit and back in, indicating I've beaten the opponent. This is a bit distracting and makes it seem like the game is defective.

2. When the match animation shows my guy celebrating, or even during the pin, a prompt lets me know the brawl has ended. This is confusing and suggests the timer has prematurely ended.

3. The blog let's you know what characters give bonus points, but it's not available in game. Although this feature is missing in Feud, it's available in showdown, tours and Blitz.

The good stuff:

➕ Rewards for both the faction and solo contests were useful and helped me improve my roster as well as the event star

➕ The Strowman Express Tour was okay, couldnt beat the last two opponents on hell mode but im okay with it

➕ I really liked the Pride Kickback Tour with the Balor gear as reward

Negative things:

➖ The last milestone on the faction feud contest wasn`t achievable by playing but only by paying to get Strowman shards

➖ General odds of getting the advertised star (Strowman in this case)! Since i really wanted to get him, i got myself 40 loot coins and tried my luck. Didn`t even get many shards for him. I would prefer a higher chance on the superstar, but with less stars than a really low chance on that guy with higher star rating.

➖ You guys should really give us an option to simply remove a superstar from the initial faction feud setup. Because if you can`t replace a specific character, that got beaten in the last battle, you can get stuck waiting for your fighter to get healed up again.

I liked the event.

I thought the contest rewards were good which a good mix of resources

The feud lineup was fairly open which allowed a lot of different rosters

I would add that my main complaint was the warscore cap of 1 million made it a lot more of a grind.

Everything is good ,

But , since a year or more the faction milestones rewards are not that much exiting.

The other thing is very less amount of 4 star tokens in contests.

These are the things that can be improved to make the game fun for those, who have a low roaster.

While the feud is good and the format no real different than historical ones, I found that the milestone points where so difficult to achieve as it was based on number of brawls. Too heavy to have to try and complete for 15 hours or more, especially for European players due to the Euro 2020 matches. In terms of the kickback tour.. pretty much pointless to be honest. If you could beat hell mode, you pretty much would have already gotten balor..

I enjoyed the event and it played easy enough, but I would have liked it better if the requirements to fill the middle line were easier. There can't be that many 5star Volkoffs floating around the community.

It was nice to have an event that you didn't have to spend to complete. It would be nice if there were more stars to use to gain more event points.

Pros- Grindable. Rewards were decent for the milestones.

Cons- The grind was pretty ridiculous. First one I haven't maxed that was grindable and it looks like relatively small number maxed it without spending. RNG bags are still awful giving a rather poor range. Lot of negative feedback about not getting him from the milestones despite big spenders dropping a ton on him. Generaly speaking he's an underwhelming striker as well. Requirements for the extra points are people who are negatively impacted by the - all gem perk which has been mentioned several times as being overly prohibitive to the point of intentionally trolling the player base.

I enjoyed the milestone rewards for this event, I think that was the best part. However with the timing of the feuds, even with having a lot of the required characters, And doing all tour except the contest superstar’s, maxing the event is another story. To finish the event I would have to play feud nonstop with no sleep and that’s too much time investment to be expected from people. It’s definitely better that most players can max it given enough time, just way too much needed.

For leaderboards that investment is fine to expect. But for people trying to HAVE FUN and ENJOY your game and do the event, that’s too much.
