Snoop's Long Beach 93 Debut Contest

Solo Contest

Pros

• Required superstars were probably the most accessible they've been in years. While the required number of matches were a little high, there were plenty of opportunities to double or triple dip in matches
• As an almost direct result, this ended up being my first ever solo showdown contest maxed. And the rewards were pretty good, so I was happy with that.

Cons

• Showdown coin scoring issues at start of contest - I would guess there were no shortage of people that assumed that the SD coin for point gain began right at reset and may have claimed their saved weekly rewards for a quick head start or pushed through a couple showdown matches before realizing it wasn't counting. Sometimes things just need to work, and if you're going to change it we need some communication BEFORE the event begins if expectations have been set from previous events. More on this point later.

Faction Contest

Pros

• Rewards are very generous and plentiful, both in milestones and the leaderboards.

Cons

• Unfortunately, progress and placement in this event is dictated by how much the faction spends, and it's a high, high spend event. If there was ever a time to bring back the 1-2-3 Kid style of awarding 1-3 Snoop Dogg shards as a common reward, it would have been this event. However, Snoop Dogg shards were placed as a "jackpot" in the common pool. As a player, that feeling of helplessness where there's no opportunity to even grind out a chance at 10-15 Snoop Dogg shards is a real drag on the whole event. Even in contests that are based around spending, players should have the opportunity to avoid putting up a zero in the event for free, with no luck involved.

Showdown Tournament

Pros

• I was able to max both days with very little issue. This is how it should be, as I have made the proper investment in my roster to make sure that I am built for competing in showdown. There were few technical issues to get in between me and the grind. If every showdown was like this you'd hear no complaints from me.

Cons

• The few technical issues are still unacceptable at this stage in the game's development. The amount of health packs that are being awarded through content in this game are not enough to make up for the myriad errors that sap health packs and the (admittedly probably overwhelmed) support team's delayed reaction to tickets.

Tours

Pros

• The first two tours were very wide-open, as promised, and provided decent rewards for minimal busy work, which is much appreciated during these weekend events built around busy work.

Cons

• The final tour was a blog switcheroo, moving it to Technician-only. And of course, this was the tour with the other blog switcheroo where someone added an extra zero to the coins in the blog and ginned up excitement with content creators previewing the event before the decision was made that it was actually a mistake. I get it - nothing on the blog is final. And the coin thing was probably an honest mistake. But the decision to make the "Sunday Tour" the second technician tour of the weekend feels like an unnecessary change that only frustrates players and furthers the notion that the dev team is always tweaking, whether necessary or not, whenever the ARPDAU gets too low for Scopely's liking.

Pros: Love that it was just tech, trick, any Roman, any Becky. It is annoying when there are 12 different characters and you may not have 5 of them. Fun to play and max this event.

Cons: Faction event being spend only was bad, especially since spending didn't guarantee points. The rewards for the solo contest were kind of weak.

Here's my pros and cons

Pros:

• The matchmaking was good and made it possible to earn the max amount of coin e both days;
•  The rewards were mostly good, would have like to see the minimum shards go up a bit;
• The requirements were very inclusive and almost everyone had the possibility of maxing the bonuses.

Cons:

• The Faction Event was lame... I maxed the solo event and even bought some loot coins and didn't get a single shard for Snoop;
• After getting the max amount of coins both days, getting all bonuses and getting over 49k in the weekly SD bonus still fell 600k points short of maxing the solo event which meant o buying loot coins and spending almost every coint and tp earned in the previous milestones to get those last two.

Glad for the increase in showdown coins. The thing I wasn't happy with I maxed all the coins I could get even from regular showdown. Used all the characters that gave extra points and still came up short 2 milestones in the solo event. That's not cool. The bugs that used to be in showdown seem to be gone but we still are dealing problems in matches with the game lagging between moves. If a match goes for more 4 or 5 moves its almost becomes unplayable. Also wasn't crazy over the faction event. Couldn't get any points unless you lucked up and got snoop shards

Pros: This was one of my favorite events in terms of pretty much everyone having the required superstars. I really support the event superstars being more common and open requirements.

Also, the design and game play of the new Snoop Dog are great. He’s a very powerful superstar and has a great, very needed training ability.

Cons: It was very disappointing the event the event and tours were broken at launch and for a few hours after launch.

You've got the ridiculous talent up contest, the standards for this were just as bad. Not letting us max an event without spending a lot of resources or money is ludicrous. The Pay To Win bar to players is way out of line.

It was a good event many vault coins has brought and giving free 1 vault coin every day was a good option

Solo contest- solo contest in this event was made good , introducing more contest superstars in showdown event and more bonus for playing showdown with modern era and that all made that event good but decreasing showdown coins points to 10 was not need although it was good in some other stuff like contest bonus but WWE champions can atleast give 50 points for showdown coins

Fraction contest- fraction contest in this event was not good , although it was a fraction so atleast boost to this events solo contest by giving points in fraction was a good option but I hope WWE champions would make that better in another upcoming event

Tours- the first two tours in this event was better but the 3rd tour can't play without 2 technicians and it was not necessary in this contest and but although it was a better event

Showdown- it was a good experience like the last event which the showdown coins were increased that was a very helpful choice , although WWE champions is creating more improvement in events and that is appreciated and hope WWE champions would bring more improvements in upcoming events

Thanku WWE champions and scopely

Positive side of it all I earned enough rhea ripley shards to unlock her

Showdown improvement has been massive with it far more rewarding to those with higher tier guys for showdown. Tours fine other than the complete mess at the start

faction event… well changing the requirements after the start and having it purely spend with not even a way to get yourself on the leaderboard just isn’t very inclusive

I liked this event in the individual a lot of resources, but regards the money spend that need yo be worked overall good event keep this events to have your rates increase

The event was okay

Good amount of coins but no shards and #14 down in our faction has zero score in the faction event if we don't spend

There should at least be some shards in the bags

Thanks

This event was finally a good one . The rewards were great and no crash or bug during the showdown . As usual sadly, the new superstar seem to be impossible to draft....the solo event was doable but the faction one was out of reach for factions that doesn't spend a lot . Keep going !

I believe this contest was very accessible and the formula works I feel a boost in notoriety gain wouldn’t be a miss as my partner experienced issues of being attacked as much as she was winning therefore didn’t break the 1000 mark whereas I maxed both days and didn’t get all contest superstar points however I still managed to make the second to last milestone all in all in my opinion this was the best showdown to date and the formula works but a few more tweaks to notoriety would greatly help experienced and newer players alike all in all great job on the event and I can see the game getting further in the future if the correct adjustments can be made. Not many complaints from this weekend but very very good and hope this kind of contest persists

I'm only going to focus on the cons because it seems like the pros are pretty standard across the board.

Start of the event - the tours were broken. You could do them, but weren't awarded anything for doing them. I finished the the first tour - normal. And I didn't receive any faction points for the contest. Twitter had a post that we were going to be compensated before the end of the event, but it looks like it's an hour before the event ends and I don't know if I was compensated points it. A message would have been nice from admin where I could claim the points, but now I can only ASSUME I did or did not.

The spend event for the faction - this was terrible idea. Like give us points for the loot coins, not getting shards which seemed like a small % to get. Bought a pack of coins, just to receive zero shards.

Seems this was a pretty good event…

as far as play: pvp seemed a lot fairer… more evenly transition to harder players… I don’t think I was over matched at all….

I did crash on tours 2x…

prizes from the wall were good on an overall basis…

only complaint was there was no snoop shards seems odd that the event was snoop based and the only way to get shards was to spend… last few events have been like that… hope that’s not a format that stays
