STEVIE RAY “NWO HOLLYWOOD” Debut and Giveaway!

I love this event.

IGN- Mohd Kashif

Good luck all, so many of us your going to need it.

IGN-SMAMS

First of all great to see Stevie Ray in the game. A complete new character unlike lots if version if others superstar. He is a good powerhouse character to play with and great link for formel Harlem heat.

New Nwo skill plate- Its awesome skill plate to have. Great bonus for red moves. But disappointed that a free 2 play players can't get it for now. You have to spend to get him which is tough for most of us. Please add this skill plate in last solo mlc milestone as rey skill plate was added in last solo mlc milestone. Which will be good addition for sure.

Tours- all tours are well placed with decent rewards. Since coin events milestones increased, there must be more coins in every contest to play all events.

Showdown-

Showdown runs smoothly. All contest superstara were playable with decent amount of solo points.

Solo milestone-

All milestones were easy to achievable if you play all the possible tours and showdown matches without spending.

Faction milestones- Decent faction contest. Rewards were not good. There must be more appealing rewards to go for it. There were no kiebler shards, no solo contest points, no shards bag for Stevie Ray which is not good.

Suggestions-

1- As suggested in previous reviews also. There should be solo contest points of weekly events in faction weekly contest And faction contest points in solo weekly contest. Which will be great for factions to go in right direction.

2- After playing all showdown matches with contest superstars, maxing solo weekly contest, maxing all the showdown coins, opening all the bags in tours, we get only 1275 shards. We missed 325 shards. Which is not possible without spending. Please make it possible to obtain all shards for players who work so hard to get the superstar without spending.

3- Add NWO skill plate to last mlc solo milestone.

Thank you.

My favorite thing about the event this weekend was that the spending and the solo were technically a separate thing and you were able to max the solo event without having to spend. I feel when this is done it improves the morale of the players, encourages more participation because people can get that sense of accomplishment, and because people are happy they are willing to do extra pulls. I was also happy you didn't have to get all the solo points in the tours to be able to max. You had some wiggle room if you didn't have a showdown bonus or tour superstar.

Overall I was happy with the event, although disappointed with the lack of Stacy shards.

Milestones

• Personally, I'm happy with the milestones for solo event and target number set as this gives me the comfort knowing I can complete it without a whole lot of grind nor money spend.
• Faction milestones were seemingly doable without any paywall restriction so again happy with that.

Rewards

• Nothing to complaint about for now. However, seeing as you're raising the milestones for coins and TP, I'm hoping the milestones starts to get a substantial increase so we see these balance out and not run out too fast.
• No comment on the NWO plate locked behind a paywall event as I would obviously choose not to spend but glad others can double dip on this if they spent.
• Suggestion: With the amount of Health Packs needed to recover 5SG superstars (atleast 300 Health Packs), could you please add HPs as a regular milestone reward for every event. Heck, even give out those faction heals more often so we can help our factions out. I think something in this space needs to be done to improve superstar health going forward especially with the constant game crash and killing of superstars health isn't really fair or what's better don't remove superstars health if the game crashes, please don't expect us to ask Support to re-imburse every time this happens, I mean this is just an un-necessary waste of time and effort for everyone. I know this means people can abuse this power but so what? Isn't the point of this is for us to play the game more rather than have us run out of HPs and what for us to put the game down or worse for us to play another game in the meantime?

Loot

• Nothing to add as I don't spend my money based on the odds of what's in the loot.
• Here's a suggestion: In the olden days, you used to give out a Cesaro card if the 30+ pull was done, so maybe if there's a guarantee of getting a superstar I don't have even if I've done a 30+ pull, I could consider doing them as I mentioned I wouldn't base my odds of getting a new superstar entirely on what the pull loot offers.

Difficulty

• To complete tours and both event milestones were easy. Continue on with this.. please.
• Good selection of required characters to use and none that were strictly paywall characters except the normal tour last node where that one alone was different to the rest. That seemed rather odd.
• Minimal grind effort required to max the event out. As stated above I'm happy with the lower target scores.

Superstars

• Stevie Ray has been a long time ask so glad to see he's now in game.
• Looks like a fun character and would have been nice to get him.
• For those who weren't lucky to pull him likely ended with 1275 shards as that seems to be the most you could get for free.

Overall Event

• Rate this SD event a 9 out of 10.
• Similar to what was done with MOTU Rey, if at the end of the MLC if you offered 500 shards for sale, I may consider purchasing. I'm hoping you would for Black Friday sale ;)

Overall I think this was an almost perfect showdown competition.

Things I greatly appreciated:

+Having the ability to double/triple up on bonuses in showdown matches made them go very quickly and never really felt like a grind

+Having a decently open field of bonus characters for showdown made it easier to max the bonus matches compared to previous showdowns.

+The rewards were very fair from the free to play side of things. Maxing plus tours got some 1200+ shards I believe towards the chase which is absolutely a fair amount.

+The tours were decently structured and gave easy access to the bags and a decent shot at the emerald tokens if you had the correct guys.

+Being able to max the solo without spending is a huge deal and will ultimately lead to more spending in the long term. By feeling successful players may feel more accomplished and will be willing to spend some to advance a bit further. I am entirely okay with this structure going forward.

+Having the spend event and the grind event be different is greatly appreciated and i hope this trend continues in the future.

THe few negatives i found from this event:

-The tour bonuses were just a bit restrictive and could have been eased a little bit.

-The spend event required a little to much to max. Toning that down a hair next time would be greatly appreciated. I understand it was high due to their being a new skillplate in there though.

I hope future events follow the similar structure to this event. Felt like alot was accomplished and never felt like a grind. Thank you.

Great to have some new faces in the game! Stevie Ray is a welcome addition to the roster. Glad its someone from WCW without the awful Millionaire's Club link that gets in the way!

Showdown

• I was able as a F2P person get all the way to 14/15 milestones. Very happy to see that.
• Loved the choice of characters, I had all except a Scott Hall/Razor variation, so it made some fun variety in the options and it was fun to be able to double or triple up the nWo ones thanks to nWo Big Show and Ric Rude
• No extra grinding needed, so I was able to reclaim my Sunday

Tours

• No problem here, enjoyed the tours and was able to make it to the end of each

Negatives

• Still miss the days of a 3SB character as a high level reward.

8/10 event, a fun showdown.
