Rey Mysterio "WCW's Ultimate Cruiserweight" Contest + Giveaway

Overall this was a very strong event in its own right, despite being a bit disappointing compared to the Seth debut event which seemed to be the model that the event was based on.

Positives:

• Making a new poster available for around $20 or so if you completed all the different aspects of the event was great. The cost went up a little for those in lower factions or those who didn’t want to/couldn't grind 35m Warscore, but the cost was still reasonable. I think a lot of players will snap up these new cards if the price point to recruit remains reasonable.
• The faction event was well-balanced and the 1% mark was manageable for most players between the tours, feud, and a little talent-up. Only 7.5m was needed from feud score which is a comfortable target for most.
• Some nice line bonuses and open requirements which made feuding a breeze and allowed people to use various powerful characters.
• Again, the tours continue to have good requirements, difficulty, and length. I would really like to see all the tours released at the start of the event rather than waiting for the final tour on the last day.

Negatives:

• The leaderboard rewards for the warscore event were really, really poor. Not only were there only 3 posters available, but none of the gears were on offer.
• The blog separated the 'free' and paid rewards for the event, but the ‘free’ rewards required a backstage pass purchase and buying 1 loot coin for three days. I'm not sure if this was unintentional or deceptive, but this felt underhanded.
• Warscore steps for a total of $300? Wow. As mentioned above, players could get the card for around $20, so why on earth would someone spend $300 to compete for the poster on the leaderboard?

Suggestions:

• NWO Macho was needed for the middle line bonus and was sold recently for a low price. It seems like a real missed opportunity not to offer him again for people to take advantage of the feud line bonus.
• Make leaderboard prizes more enticing and rewarding. While the leaderboard doesn't generate money directly, having good rewards entices people to spend in order to compete. If the gear was on the leaderboard, for example, people would have spent to recruit Rey before feud to get the line bonus.
• With none of the new gears being reasonably attainable, it would have been nice to have offered the rare Acro Rey gear in the warscore event as a milestone or leaderboard reward.

Milestones

• I want to say the solo milestones were well designed in a way to cater for light spenders, F2P grinders and heavy spenders and I'm ok with that.
• I decided to not spend this event as Rey seemed mediocre to me without his gears and it was evident the gears were paywalled and I don't plan on spending above my limit to get him.

Rewards

• Happy with the effort I could put out for me to end up where I can so no complaints.
• Again, would like if more Health Packs are given out as part of Milestone rewards. There's a need to replenish them for every weekend event especially if we need to revive 5SG characters needing 300 HPs.

Loot

• Nothing to add as I decided not to spend.
• I do like the every day first time spend for points.
• It would be nice if you can alter the loot pull for people to pull 1 /4 / 20+ (similar to how it's structured in cash pulls) at a time rather that pull for everything we have in bag to allow us to get the benefit of buying a packaged deal and allow your players to reap more benefits. I understand you have your way to get players to spend but this is one suggestion that may get me to spend..

Difficulty

• Choice of characters was easy with Rey, Booker and Macho
• Thank you for not making it a specific Macho or Rey.

Superstars

• Rey alone is mediocre, nothing special about him.
• It's the gears that makes him great so really enjoyed the trial version.

Overall Event

• I think this was a well done event. My personal thoughts are your design around a character that can be unlocked with minimal spend for free which is great but paywall the gears to make the card great and I'm ok with that.
• I went F2P and ended with 200 shards short which I'm ok with as I'm not that high on Rey but appreciate the 1200 shard to recruit as that means I can recruit him in the near future rather than waiting another few years down the line to get him...
• I think if Rey was a slightly stronger character by himself without the relying on gears I may have been inclined to get him.

This event was truly interesting. The limited tours, and contests allowed everyone who is loyal to the game to score highly.

In addition, we can see that the people who did spent on your discounted deals did get the results they want. Every business needs a percentage of premium players in order to provide motivation for the game developers.

I am loving the fact that the game screen has evolved and dailys are easier to complete with various options.

Positves:

In addition to the exclusive event character, I was able to use for once characters that I had 4sb. Those characters for nwo show and master of 619 are having better chances to pull on the monthly chests for free. I like this idea and believe it could be modified to include a pool of characters that are required in the current months competition.

The tour itself was great and was really good seeing shards being offered as rewards. Suggestion would be that tours that are based on a characters name should be made avaliable to all characters of that name. For example limited rewards for using nwo big show should be any big show to give newer players a fair chance and motivation in the game to get characters.

A god send update I notice is the loading of the screen. I used to have issues of long loading and timing out before getting to the home page. Now it is done with the first minute depending on Internet speed. Great improvement.

Negatives

Points attributed to events are slight low and not connected in the theme. I was surprised to see that when I was getting rey shards, it was almost not counting anything for the event score. In addition the selection for the feud didn't require the usage of the new booker t. I believe for all the events there should be more bonuses attributed to the character for the event in the month. It makes it more challenging to do.

Regarding the evolution tokens, being that the game has incorporated 5sb characters and more. It should be easier to get 3sg on event characters. This gives young players a chance to get characters competitive and to use in the event.

I must praise the developers for how far this game has come. Sometimes playing the game, we users forget all the sweat and tears developers put in the game. Alot has changed to make this more user friendly and I totally commend and support the team.

I know I didn't get enough shards for rey but it was thrilling to almost complete the event in tours or contests. Also hands out to the portal rewards and interface that allows us users to examine characters in detail.

Thanks so much.

Solo Contest Could have been better for f2p but won't complain since the tours turned out to be good for us.

Faction contest was okay as well in terms of rewards and max milestone.

Warscore contest should be optimized for some solo contest points, just giving away faction points and rey shards didn't do. much for those who scored even 15 mil in feuds, good regards were for only the last milestones. That, you all can really do well so would like to see Warscore contest meta like that of Macho King and Zhogan combined.

Overall : 6.5 / 10 👍

Bottom line is having events like this that essentially allow players to earn/buy a new character for a reasonable amount of money are always going to be appreciated. I didn't have time to get the last few milestones of the warscore competition, but it would have only cost about $25 to get Rey had that been the case. That's in the range to at least get a lot of people to think about it. I decided to save my money for something in the future this time.

Uncertainty about the ability to earn/get the additional gears in the future works against the reasonable nature of getting the card. This is similar to the new Seth card from a few months back. I managed to get him, but having methods of earning the gears would be a positive (even if they are really expensive MLC prize wall options or a not crazy expensive real purchase).

Only other thing I would want to see is maybe at least one tour having an emerald token case in the boss match. Otherwise coin/TP resources were good for the weekend. Good tie in to the new character and free MLC characters for the tours - all possible with a little work/creativity.

I feel that the events themselves are good to great. It's the rewards and paywall at the end to max the event that is the issue. Also, 1200 shards is very reasonable to recruit so I think that is fine.

A player should not have to spend real money to max these events. Good old fashioned grinding should be sufficient.

More events should be mixed in each week along with the tours. Maybe a short 24 blitz or showdown.

With that being said, I was able to get Rey Mysterio by earning shards but locked out of the last three milestones which are behind a paywall. That is the core issue I think.

The game is awesome and consistently evolving I’ve been playing for about a year now and I’m still discovering new things/ways to preform better!

The contest was fun one critique I have is that I wish there was an in game key that showed what all the props were used for “mega burst of strength, ect..” I also think it would be super helpful to show a shard count on each character without having to click on them or sort by shards.

Anyways that’s all I got keep up the good work guys!

The event was mostly good. I liked the accessibility of bonus points in the LTTs. Would have liked more chances to help ourselves in the MLC or with the Keibler shards.

Overall event was ok. Event matches were playable by most, if not all. Decent factions blazed through the faction part of feud. The solo milestones should’ve been part of feud, imo.

Ign: DJ Parks

I thought it was actually fun exciting getting to use that 5 *..made it alot of fun with the ss fully upgraded... would love to add him to my roster...only downfall for me was... the end of it...

Was a good event. Easily doable tours with decent prizes.

Feud was pretty straight forward as well. Again my only complaint would be the constant red circles which ruined a few brawls.

I think many people had the required stars for bonuses.

Missed out on Rey by 110 shards so gutted about that.

Using the trial of him was fun. Different movesets to play with. Only complaint is I think he shouldn't have any ink on his body as in WCW he only had a couple small tattoos on his arms.

Hopefully get some luck thrown my way from Scopely 😉

This event was ok but I'm tired of spending and not getting much from the events in general. Ign: HarryPeter

Contest was good, rewards aren’t much though. I think you should get more shards for the superstars, and it should be more open to use other superstars.

You guys have cerate more gem damage as per 619% damage only applies when you have gear

Accept he is useless without gear

And recently there is no community event in the portal you to update time to time when you start something

The TP and coin payouts in this and future Feuds&shiwdowns should increase to meet the highentened demands of the Coin and TP contests of late.
