    Will it be possible to evolve Drew to 3sb by friday without spending?

    At the last mlc I have maxed the TP, T.U events, collected all evo tokens from tours (expect the VIP) from the blitz event and some from the faction mlc. Even with all the free stuff, I was at least 100-150 tokens short from 3sb Drew, so I couldn’t compete at the hard mode blitz.

  • Where is the zAustin 3sg for the solo rewards? Says its a milestone, but I checked this afternoon and couldn't find it in the list.

    So far the month contest seems pretty good.

    The chase card looks incredible, the free card is not bad with monthly bonuses. Zombie Edge looks interesting too.

    The spread of points for the solo MLC seems ok so far. Compared to the MLC that was just completed, there are:

    • More solo points in the talent up
    • More solo points in the free card talent up
    • More solo points in the faction MLC
    • Most of this is offset with no points in the faction blitz contest though.


    Good news is that feud perks seem to be better. At least the -3 MP is reduced.


    The really bad part in my opinion - Blitz hard mode is still paywalled. There's no good reason to do this other than greed. The amount of time needed for players to grind their blitzes in normal mode is too much for the casual player. With some grinding, you should be able to enjoy hard mode in the first blitz. No issue with hell mode being paywalled, but at least make it possible for grinders to do hard mode for their factions.

    Suggestion Introduce a cheaper 2 star silver starter pack. You could price it at $5 and still make more money than you would from the current $20 and $30 starter packs. With some grinding, those purchasing the $5 pack would be able to get the chase card to 3b and still participate in hard mode blitzes during the kick off blitz. Getting the 500 tokens necessary to go from 2 silver to 3 bronze could be a fun challenge for players, and a money maker for Scopely. There are a lot of players who simply won't pay $20 for a 'free character'. Reducing that to $5 while still making it a challenge for players will, in my opinion, make Scopely more money.


    Update - 15th October


    • It's good for the majority of players that more points for the Solo MLC contest are available. Those extra points for using healthpacks are a nice touch, and hope that many more players are able to complete the solo MLC because of it.
    • zEdge contests were underwhelming. zRhea contest looks to be pretty much the same,. Far too many paid pulls required to max the solo event. I'm sure there will be separate feedback on it in its own thread.
    • The mid-week zombies attack was fine, would like to see a few more matches though. Most top factions complete the required matches within a few hours of the event launching. Still a heavy spend component
    • Rewards for coin events seem to be a lot worse for this month compared to September. Far less solo MLC points available from coin events. As long as there are other free ways for players to make up the points that's ok. So far that seems to be the case.
    • Please can we pull back on the talent up requirement for every single event. It's constant talent up - doesn't make any sense, especially when giving out so few points for it.


    Thanks

    It's unlikely this will be possible. The intent is to have upgrade packs for players that want to progress more quickly through the contest. Thanks

    The zaustin is based on the league you are in. Higher leagues are eligible for the new chase superstar and lower leagues are eligible for the alternate superstars. Thanks

    Hence the suggestion for a $5 starter at 2 silver. There's nothing in the rewards from the Drew tour or Drew talent up that really justifies a $20 purchase in week 1 imo. The main reason people are buying them is blitz, not for progressing in the solo MLC.

    He literally posted a good suggestion for a lower-priced starter pack.


    That aside, the hard blitz paywall has only been in place for the past 3 MLC. Before that, it was possible to grind enough evo tokens in the first week to be able to do the hard mode blitz and help propel your faction forward in the MLC.


    It seems more and more that the only players and factions that Scopely wants to be able to max the solo and faction MLCs are those who spend early and often, and it is becoming more obvious by the day.

    Zombie Austin is being offered in the milestones for lower leagues? What are those of us in the higher leagues that still don't have him supposed to do then?

    The News Article for the contest says the Backstage Pass will contain a 3sg character. Will there be a pass with a 3sg this week, or just the 5 zBlack shards one?

  • DKMangler

    Hello NWG. Just the shards in the pass this week. Thanks

    My suggestion would be to make chasing the chase superstar more attainable for solo players rather than mattering what faction you belong to. The game is supposed to be fun but when you max everything you can at solo level each week but find yourself way behind someone who hasn’t but is in a faction that get loads of solo points you start to wonder what the point is. Right now the solo is only available to max if you belong in a high tier faction and others who aren’t but try are not rewarded. So yes please consider putting more solo points in solo contests and less in faction thanks

    Nice event, reasonable requirements in tours and subevents. In my opinion if the MLCs stay this way there is a good balance between paying players and f2p players. I am not in a whale faction at all and managed to finish the solo contest with very Little Investments ( bought the backstage pass each week). Seeing how this event still lasts for 10 days it is totally doable to max the solo event without spending any real money. This is a very good step in the right direction .

    It seems like the zDrew Talent Up Contest is missing the "legendary zDrew Belt" (which usually is an Extra Turn Belt).


    Looking at the contest milestone 14/15, it just shows up as a regular random legendary strap?

    I could have sworn I saw it as an extra turn belt at the beginning of the month.


    According to the post at the beginning of the month made by scopely, it says one of the rewards is a "legendary zDrew Strap" but I don't seem to see one in-game.

    For future events, can we get some changes to the limited faction tasks?

    I wake up multiple times during the MLC to see I've missed out on thousands of points.

    I'd like to see the bonus points per player or even scattered release times to allow more players to benefit.

    GOOD THINGS THAT SHOULD BE COPIED/PASTED IN FUTURE EVENTS

    • Health packs counting as points towards SOLO during Feud weeks. They should count everytime, but it's a good start
    • Weekly Backstage Pass counting even for weekend events
    • Shards of rare characters in the briefcase. Too bad the November MLC doesn't seem to have them, and no, the weekly bag is not a valid substitute
    • Length back to 4 week. MLC should never last less.
    • The structure of the Boiler Event was really appreciated

    7/10

    This is my 2nd chase character earned (Afa was the first). The backstage pass made a big dent in the milestone. I don't think it would be possible to max without it. Especially if points are faction reliant.

    The characters were great. The tours had some easy to fill CSS requirements. I liked the final week event a midweek leading into the weekend was a nice change. The keypulls having shards for the chase was a nice addition.

    I would like to see the kickoff blitz more accessible to all in hard mode. I agree the paywall puts others at a disadvantage. Reward vs effort was a 5/10. I'd like to see more reward for solo contests, ease off the faction reliance. Meaning more ways to complete solo contests with more points if you put the effort in.
