Remove This Perk

I completely agree, perks are have made showdown events almost unplayable.

And the lack of bleed immunity straps as well. Can't play showdown with a socko wall.

Scopely will do nothing about this .. perks are a built-in system to keep the smaller roster or lower end people who play at the lower end .. mainly because they want to keep those in the top factions at the top .. if you think this game will ever be "FAIR" to everyone you're crazy ... I suggest you do with this issue as you have to do with any issue that pop up .. deal with it because it's not going to get better anytime soon

I agree with the other comments as well.

Every player who creates nos of blast gems, pyro gems, row break gems, column break gems, multiply gems, power gems, trap gems etc.; those all r effected because of feud gems generation perks. lots of Month Long Contest chase superstar's damages are effected because of feud gems generation perks. we r chasing superstars in whole month long by using lots of resources, but we can't able to use them in faction feud because of feud gems generation perks.

For Example,

I have earthquake who is able to create 7 blast gems, but because of feud gem generation perk, it creates only 4 blast gems that's really effects earthquake's damage.

I’m not a big fan of perks and usually buy them to progress in the solo event and to make my life easier in all aspects of the game at the expense of leveling characters on my roster.

I do believe the perks especially the gem generation defensive feud perk are totally unnecessary with the addition of straps and medals. Not having those straps or medals are, in my opinion, penalty enough to the player.

Games are supposed to be fun, not a time suck for hours to get your faction minimum or to max a solo event.

I'm good with zero perks in feud. I think the only perk that should be offered/paid for is the war score one. Those that want to compete in the leaderboard can have at it. I'm good just trying to get the milestone rewards.

I'm pretty much in agreement with the rest of the forum here regarding gem perks. What's the point in making characters like Shelton if the perks ruin him. He just becomes a pointless character to use. Same as Acro Hhh. Was great fun to use then perks changed that. Sort this mess out. Ta

If you insist on keeping a gem reducing perk that basically makes certain characters unplayable in feuds and showdown, you should also build reducing perks for other abilities, such as bleed and stun, and rotate them every month. At least that way, all characters will be usable at some point. And the meta would be less stagnant, with the same socko's and zombies over and over, when it's their turn to be nerfed for the month.

Keep the current system of MP perks for PvP (which is really what differentiates feud from showdown, and roster decisions have been made with this in mind), but do away with PvP +/- gem perks entirely. At the very least, apply the same rules to all gems equally. Acro Shelton is a great card and was chased by much of the community, but he's borderline unplayble in feuds since both his pyro and multiply generation is curtailed. It's frustrating as a player to immediately discount entire categories of cards based on their lack of effectiveness under perks.

-perks +fun

I think the gem generation perk needs to go, I cannot even use my Naomi so they need

I personally feel that perks should be done away with altogether... It is obvious that Scopely uses them to force us to spend millions of coins a month on something that isn't advancing our roster, because if we don't spend for the perks feud and Showdown are unplayable. We shouldn't have to waste our resources just to be able to play an event.

I vote in favor of eliminating perks for all PvP matches. Perks for Blitzes and Tours make sense as this allows more opportunity for people with lower rosters levels to make a little bit of progress. I think it’s a huge waste for all PvP matches because it puts everyone at a disadvantage and, frankly, reduces the “fun” and competitive nature of the matches.

The issue is that at the final perk level, ALL gem generation is reduced by 3, not just color gems. So if you have a wrestler than relies on creating leech gems, or protect gems, or snowfall/pyro gems, or multiply gems, or whatever, then they get that number reduced by 3 and there is no way to bump it back up without a trainer/coach. For snowfall/pyro/leech/juggernaut gems, there is no trainer or coach so that wrestler's effectiveness is greatly reduced or nullified altogether.

The reinforce is area but the convert to yellow isn't. So if you didn't buy the generate perk naomi can end up not making 3 gems and becoming useless. Not as bad as guys like snoop, bayley, and shelton but it's pretty annoying especially if there's an early feud and you haven't bought all the perks yet.

Regarding this topic. The gem generation perk hamstrings some otherwise great characters. Currently there are 3 main "meta" uses for characters stipulation, feud, showdown. SD characters need to be low charge because of - mp perks. You can kinda get around with great tag links but in most contests you're not going to have access to those links so low 1/2 charge moves only. Feud you can do higher charge moves but you can't use characters that generate special gems because the gem generation perk will hit them hard. Exceptions for the silence protect and immobile perk which offsets but no way to offset x, row, column, pyro, and snowfall gems so amazing characters get removed from use in feuds and only see use when you're forced by contests and even then you're usually targeting much lower rarity so the fact you can't do your normal set up doesn't impact you. Finally you have stipulation characters which require a lot of gem generation such as blue from shelton and recycling ability. When you release a character like cena who is impacted by feud perks, doesn't recycle and doesn't have cheap move charge you're releasing essentially a useless character. Cena could be fixed by adding a plate to recycle making him useful in stipulation and kinda useful for clearing trash in feud but I doubt that was the thought behind releasing him. With this month focused on snoop again I'm dreading yet another month of making 1 pyro gem even with the perk adding 2 those disappear. Love it when you release characters like bayley that would be the best female powerhouse but instead is trainer only because all of her movesets are destroyed in feud and her charge is too high for showdown. It's almost like the game designers aren't aware of the meta or what the other teams are doing. Otherwise I'd expect a lot more area genration characters like AFA rather than choose like shelton and snoop.

Agree completely.

These perks simply make the game less fun. Feud is a huge time investment, so why not allow players to have fun participating?

On top of this, players have invested in characters who are completely nerfed by these 'perks'. It takes 50m coins and 9k TP to take someone to 5-star silver, and then they become unusable because of the gem degeneration perk. Considering the money spent to acquire some of these characters, I think that's it's really unfair to nerf them.

I'd like to suggest that the warscore perks be removed completely at this point too. The past 2 feuds have now been heavily tainted by these warscore perks. Just remove these unbalanced scoring methods from the competitive game modes/contests.
