Stacy Keibler “Women’s Legend” Debut + Giveaway

Pros: none. The Showdown itself doesn’t count since nothing has been tweaked therefore the gameplay should remain the same.

Cons: the new character is in no way impressive at all…it’s literally a cut and paste of tech Aleister Black so spending a ton of money, resources, and grinding for unoriginal content seems laughable. Also the shard bags suck. Literally.

how can you improve? Make original content…you have a bad habit of cut and pasting male superstar movesets on females and pushing them onto us as “fresh” or “new”. Maybe try not posting a “4 star catch up” event on your blog that requires 5 seconds to claim for better rewards vs 10+ hours of grinding.

This event is one of the worst you have ever produced, why would anyone waste their time on this when unless you spend a ton of money you will get nowhere near max. 3 bonus ss for points that don't add up to squat, factor in the tours and your still nowhere near maxed. Not sure what the thought process was with this but it's sad and a slap in the face to your loyal player. Consider trying harder please.

The expectation of 250 matches to max out might be a little over the top. Can you fix to make it a little more digestible for people with lives?

This is the absolute worst showdown event ever. Absolutely ridiculous. Everything about it . The individual milestone and faction milestone are outrageous, unreachable, unreasonable and unrealistic. Totally fail .. and you probably won't listen to the players and do it again in 2 weeks 🙄

This sd with huge amount of matches with low shards from bags.... Too much

I think waste of time...

Scopely must ensure FUN aspects of players.

The excessive amount are matches is a bad way to turn people AWAY from playing. I've said time and time again make it more playable not less. Spending 15 hours playing on a weekend is not the way to do it.

The shard drops are really bad especially for a not so good character.

Making it a paywall for the faction event is even worse. Why not make it how it used to be and have a match faction goal that would make it a lot more playable

Good event overall - no issues on m end at launch. No loss contest points because of things that weren't working.

SD - the amount of people that can attack you BRUTAL! I would go into a match. 3-turn win the match, and then come out with notoriety going down because I had been attacked and killed twice. Not sure if there is a way to turn down how many times you can get attacked over a very short duration, but that would be a very considerate thing...

1. Overall, the event was 6.5/10.
2. I feel like the rewards do not match the amount of time/effort required to max the match bonuses. The amount of shards rewarded vary way too much in the RNG bags. They always on the lower end of the shard range.
3. Events should be considered as giving players ability to grind for the final milestone or spend to speed up the process to hit the final milestone. It should NEVER require both.
4. Tours were fine. Would have liked the ability to earn more shards there since very few shards were earned in the milestone bags despite maxing both days.
5. As always, loot odds need boosted. Including Typhoon at 3 stars in common loot is a worthless inclusion considering you are giving him away at 4 star bronze on Friday.

The concept is the same as any other, a selection of superstars, in this case female & a quantity of points for a number of battles.

As one of the many players with low levelled females still I managed to get pretty much all my battles done however it seems the defense shield that was present has been removed as for every 20 notoriety points I earned I was dropping 10+ in notoriety because I was being attacked quicker then I could complete battles. After grinding my way to nowhere fast maxing day one became increasingly impossible with the scores dropping rather than increasing. Day 2 started outuch the same way with specific players able to attack me 3 times in a row. I managed to press on almost completing all the points battles & get milestone 12 on the solo event yet still couldn't manage 1% on the faction event due to the low level of Stacey shards dropping from those solo milestones. Whilst I appreciate you need to protect the integrity of the game affectively what is happening is a case of the rich get richer & the poor get poorer so to speak, those who don't need the resorces as much & are already strong spend minimal time completing the events whilst those who need it most can litrally spend hours upon hours & still not complete for the efforts, many will be dropped from factions for not contributing enough when in reality they probably put in more effort than others.

The timezone of these events also make it much harder for players in the UK to maintain that 1k notoriety on day 1

I also noticed that when I was in the 600s I was getting opponents still in the 200s so the match ups weren't giving the most points either, showdown seems very unbalanced at the moment in both being attacked more than being able to attack & the opponents selected.

i think te event goals and rewards sucked, but the gameplay was fun. I like Sasha quite a bit, (I do wish the 5 to black move you could choose where it went though)

This is the first time I have ever payed to boost the monthly character to 3sb at the start of the month, that has made a huge difference to all the events and they have all been more fun, I would have been way more frustrated with this event than I ended up being.

So my stats right now are :

Sasha: 61/100

Becky: 0/100

Asuka: 69/150

Milestone: 9/16

I always had Asuka in my matches and swapped out a stronger first person when needed.

I played quite a bit of this and only managed 69 matches. I was not going to pay any more money this month, especially for Stacy, (who should be an acrobat not a technician).

6/10 event - I had fun, but it wasnt worth the effort

Maxed the showdown coins both days. Finished day 1 above 1000 notoriety, and maxed 2 of the 3 superstar bonuses, still only got to milestone 11. Should be able to max or at least come close with out spending.

I don't mind doing a bunch of fights but this was too high.

I do appreciate the opportunity to get more showdown coins each day but perhaps you can reset the level back to 0 so we can get more bonus fights too.

• TOURS: Again, the tours have been another plus point for the weekend events. Recently these tours have been well-balanced in terms of requirements, difficulty, and rewards.
• CSS: Unlike others, I thought the 350 match target was pretty reasonable. If you had strong enough CSS, you could double-up to cut that number in half. My only issue with the CSS for this event was the points per win. Completing all the wins should have been worth more solo event points.
• LEADERBOARD: Yet again no contest for players to compete against each other. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever have an opportunity to play competitively or if the 'game' is now just a pokemon collection app. Recruiting characters and roster-building doesn't have much appeal if there is nothing to gain from having a strong roster and winning matches.
• SHARD BAGS: The number of shards from the bags was a huge disappointment. The character isn't top-tier in any way, so this would have been a great time to offer a guaranteed 2sb poster. I think the frustration with the 350 matches from a lot of players is due to the poor shard bags they got in return.
• STACY KEIBLER: Not every character can (or should be) overpowered, but a little more effort could have been given to make the character more interesting and competitive. Some tweaks should have been made to move/bleed/submission damage to make this character more viable in the current meta.

Overall, this event felt underwhelming. The grind and spend/talent-up to hit the final 2 milestones just didn't seem worth it because of the poor number of shards given out. The character is quite average and players didn't really have much opportunity to recruit her even at a 1,600 recruit point.

350 matches was a grind for sure, but I appreciate that we were allowed to double up so clearing through the matches was a lot easier.

I liked that the tours were open so you could use whomever you had in case your Becky, Sasha, and/or Asuka couldn't clear them.

The only thing I found weird is this is the first showdown that I can remember where getting the featured character didn't give you extra points anywhere.
