STEVE AUSTIN “UNPREDICTABLE BIONIC MAN” DEBUT + Giveaway

I liked that maxing was possible with a lot of grinding (which I did). I wasn't overly thrilled with getting 66 medals for belts. That took a bit to claim and sell :) You all need a way to sell those in inbox instead of claiming, going to roster, going to a belt and then clicking the medals.

PROS : I liked the event as a whole, and I really enjoyed the separate prize wall with some really great options for tokens, TP, straps, etc. I had already maxed the solo going into this weekend, and I liked that there were a large number of points for others to max as well. I also appreciated the fact that we actually got a MOTU themed events this week for the year 1 characters like MOTU HHH and MOTU Big E, which was odd because I feel this entire 3 week event lacked pretty much anything MOTU related outside of the weekend events.

CONS : Anything I say about my cons of the event is what everyone said in pretty much every comment on this thread already. I am confident I would've been high on the leaderboards as I have tons of resources, but I was certain I'd end up outside of the top 25 with nothing to show for it and millions of coins and thousands of TP spent in vain so I didn't even bother going for MOTU Austin for a multitude of reasons.

Without an accurate representation of the prize wall and (what wasn't mentioned yet by anyone else that I saw) the alleged means of cheating/manipulating the scoreboard even post "fix" meant the integrity of this contest was not there.

Pros very useful resources

Cons the Solo event fiasco in which I maxed it and then I was kicked down 2 levels even though I used valid categories oh acros and motu characters and the max showdown limit of 22500 showdown coins there should be more like maybe 30 to 50 thousand

EVENTS

Tour

Excellent. Event without the bonus rewards we were still able to get good rewards

Showdown Event

No big complaints. Opponents were a good difficulty. There were plenty of bonuses to take advantage of, but they were mostly small amount that you needed to stack in order for them to matter.

CONTESTS

SOLO: I was able to get a decent amount of rewards. I was fortunate enough to be able to have multiple requirements (for example HHH & eternia characters ) for bonuses. I didn't get too high on the rewards ladder, and don't understand how anyone, paying or not, could.

FACTION: My faction is decent, but not overwhelming on it's members. We got good rewards, from what I remember.

CHARACTERS

Goldberg: During the event (with the boosts) he was great. Very powerful. But shards were too stingy. We needed more.

Steamboat: 3000 shards is way too high. Not even close. This character slot is hardly ever a realistic catch, but you've made it worse.

Austin: I knew I would never get him, regardless of how many of those loot boxes I got. I am glad I got them, though. Some nice consolation rewards.

Event was good overall. ( outside of the massive error and bad attempt at a correction ). My one major critique is have the SD coins not count for solo…it’s a new change that most didn’t like.

I do appreciate the ability to complete events without a ton of spending, but it seems every time that’s possible, the rewards aren’t all that great. The prizewall was also lacking in smaller cost items..I finished with over 500k tokens and couldn’t use them because the massive difference in item pricing.

Keep up the good work

Good event, couple of times it crashed mid fight, causing me to use nearly 100 health packs per time to get my guys back up. Biggest flaw for me was that there was no solo reward for showdown points. Didn’t feel right that some who hardly participate in my faction should benefit from my hard work. Aside from that, very enjoyable as most MM showdowns are.

Having the ability to raise acros and MOTU was probably the best idea. I think they should be increased to 100 each though. This gives someone the ability to just only do Talent up for the showdown event to complete solo. It he or she does not want to complete the bonuses and has a lot going on. Right now many players are affected by Afghanistan issue, the floods in Louisiana or New York. Yes there are other stages and places affected but these are the ones that come to mind.

my feedback to the developers is to maybe just do a quick double check over scoring. This might prevent leaderboard issues or have a back up incentive plan. Town hall had clearly passed a message saying that players who raised acros and MOTU would not be affect. I was taken from 2.4 mil down to 1mil. This was a global issue with no solution. I had wasted coins and TP to get there the right way and was punished. maybe have a compensation plan other than small appreciation bags given out like 4million coins or shards for the character. I think I end of losing 30 mil coins from talent points being taken down and 4000TP.

maybe offer shards in the prizewall for 2 characters in additional to the straps. The characters could be for the following month as an Easter egg or maybe for the current month. Either way adding ways to get some of the characters would be useful.

I liked the idea to have different straps available as well on the prizewall 50% gem damage is much useful along with the others.

the stipulation promoters have made a huge difference when you’re trying to climb up top of showdown. It really decreases the amount of matches.

I think it should revolve though around 100 matches total as opposed to 200-300 matches.

character 1 25 matches

character 2 25 matches

character 3 25 matches

character 4 25 matches

MLC link bonus 25-50

even getting the total below 125 would be easier and less time consuming.

tours were great always having 2 options and kind of the idea of normal being reversed having macho only. It made the MLC character more useful if you actually leveled them.

doesn’t apply to stone cold but overall the chase shards were lacking all month. Maybe out more importance on Showdown and Feud with having 500 shards for the MLC chase Character. people would be more enticed to play showdown to get the fuse.

the cash IGC loots with the bonuses loot pulls were perfect. Keep those odds and amounts up. It was the first people I seen people getting great pulls. This keeps them wanting to play the game more.

maybe make a women’s showdown daily again with double the amount of daily tokens. We have gotten to a point where we have enough women and have the ability to use them in game on a regular basis. This would be the perfect time to bring it back. Maybe up the league bonus coins though. And also give top 100 people on ranking a bonus amount of coins.

I miss the showdowns where there was a guarantee copy of the character at 3SB maybe add this in at Christmas once or twice.

Huge improvements over all on resources such as Coins and TP. The talent up did help me raise my entire acro class a few stars.

i would score this contest with a 8.5/10. Some people were able to recover from the scores being lowered and some weren’t. Especially people who completed tours and were set back to 50,000 from 1 mil (total was less than tours) I haven’t see a solution or outcome of this issue yet

Trash.... I like the old showdown better.

The thing that I liked most about this event was the ability to max solo without spending. There’s something to be said about grinding. The points issue didn’t affect me too much because I was never chasing leaderboard, however the way it was handled left a bad taste with the community.

the chests were great, the shard bags were great. Even the deals at the end were good, especially for those who ended up with Rey. Make sure that the event works at rollout.

Super excited to get Austin, thank you!

I didn’t receive the prize yet so just wondering if someone could check that for me.
