State of the Game
Comments

State of the game... This is very interesting post and can mean multiple things to people so its very subjective but also important. Typically I struggle at typing and putting together thoughtful comments... I try to stick to videos but I am going to give this one a try.
Sissa brings up so valid points for sure. Ultimately games should be fun or there is no reason to play them right!?
Ok where to start. So much of the game is better then it used to be especially for new players so I'm going to give props there. So much more free stuff then ever before. MLC has never been easier to max. The daily login rewards with the chests have been amazing for people that missed those chase cards could probably use a refresh soon tbh. The daily login claim is amazing!!! I have more resources to work on building guys now then in the past is it enough, or perfect, no (could use much more tp) but it is improving. Static shards is such a huge huge improvement over random shards I cant even tell you how much I hate rng...
If you expect to get every card if you expect to max every event this game will always disappoint you. Unless your spending $5k a week its not going to happen. In a lot of ways we as players can do better at setting boundaries and realistic expectations for ourselves... With that being said there are so many new cards every month it can be over whelming for many players.
Solution have 1 card a month be a refresh of an older card. A prime example would be Kalisto during the MLC when he was required he had a mp boost, a gem damage boost, and a multi gem boost this actually made him fun to play and good! What if you gave him 3 gears 1 was free to play 1 was grind and 1 was payed toss some 3s 4s and 5s fuses in the contest and id be willing to bet people would love that and you could still make some money plus it wouldn't take as many resources to develop an all new card!
Events: When they are deployed broken this is the worst thing in the game for me... this should always be a top priority and since they are almost all copy and paste it really shouldn't be happening.
MLC the chase card being good and attainable is very important for a lot of us this is the best and only way we get top tier cards on a regular basis I think this formula is good but for sure some refreshing wouldn't hurt. My number 1 complaint here is the paywalled hard blitz week 1. IMO hard mode should never ever be paywalled that's what hell mode is for...
Feud events: Grind portion requires you to buy warscore perks!? Really cant we leave that portion alone... steps are a travesty to the grinder that wants to prove he can out work the whales at least give them this... Perks get rid of them 100% for feud that's what line bonuses are for... Imagine having to be smart about who you put in your lineup instead of perking out and facerolling your keyboard with 1 click winners man would that be fun and glorious! Scopely you have an insanely competitive players base you could allow this to thrive just give them a chance!
Showdown: Defense doesn't even matter strategy doesn't matter just throw your required guys out and click for a few hours and its over it could be so much more make it matter make it count. I'm not sure how I would change this mode to do that so on this one I feel like I may be part of the problem.
New character releases: This one is tough its how you make your money and as a business that matters. I don't expect to get every card. I don't think I should surely not for free! I do like getting 2/3ds of a card a heck of a lot more then 0 I can tell you that and the seth and rey style events are pretty great. I much prefer when its gears that are monetized or a rare plate at the end and I can compete for the cards...
I love this game and enjoy it very much. I may get blasted for this but I feel like Scopely has been listening more and actively trying to deliver a better product. I think they can and will continue to improve it but its important for us to be aware of what they have improved and offer constructive feedback on how they can continue to improve it.
As far as fresh gameplay I have been lucky enough to be a part of testing Raid Boss and it is fresh and amazing and I can't wait for it and to play it with my friends. The biggest thing this game has been missing is the Team aspect and 4 people working together is a start and an improvement. I want to feel like a faction matters where working with my team matters not spending more... So this is a great start.
This post has become extremely long and there is so much more I could and want to say but I'm terrible at posting lol.
I think the game overall is in a better place then ever for most groups but there is so much room for improvement this is the longest I have ever played a game and most of the time I have a blast!
Thanks for listening to this overly positive gem smasher

There are so many thoughts that come to mind going through this post and its comments that hit home for me. i had some thoughts i shared about it that i will copy and paste here.
i have to agree with the post you just tagged. of all that person said the "practice mode" seems like an amazing and fun idea. honestly i dont want them revamping too much becuase they have proved they are incapable of doing so without breaking the game. i would also like to point out a reply to that post that points out their support/customer service that is really horrible at the moment. i think they need to fix whats broken first. gameplay or otherwise first before they go f*ing with the core of the game.
what this game is missing now is the engagement it had before. its become spend x amount or be a**ed out. sure you can do well without spending. but EVERY new plate and Mid week character has been behind a paywall. i dont mind there being a grind. and personally i dont mind a little spending on a game im highly enjoying and spending time on. but when its all about spending it looses its luster
reading through more comments make me realize more things that are gone... werent there usually semi rare characters in feud rewards? most months had fairly different types of events. its true the game has been pretty stale recently. the daily claim was great. but there hasnt been much thought put into events other than spend up until the last week of zombie month. unless its a super event its all cut and paste. and they went backwards this month in the shirt shop. what happened to the shard portion of the store? that was a great addition i thought. keep the cost low but give us more options to choose from and make our choices matter instead of going for the exact same thing every month.... rant over...

So I'll try to be constructive here...
The power creep in the game is now so broken that characters become outdated before you even have a chance to fully build them unless you're pushing them 5ss in a month. That needs to slow down and classes need balancing.
Agreed with the things that have already been mentioned.
My 3 big problems with the game right now:
Scopely is very well aware factions have minimums and hard blitz is paywalled is unacceptable and creates a lot of friction for f2p players looking to participate. If people want to pay to access hell that's absolutely fair.
Goalposts move with no notice for the average player base. We plan for TUP at a certain level then all of a sudden you have little to no notice that scoring will drastically change with no reasons given. I'm fine with things changing but you know these decisions aren't made 2 days prior to a new MLC
Lastly MLC tour bonus characters are often either ultra rare characters or low tier characters that people haven't built up (and who will be useless after the MLC). A bit more options and variety on the MLC tour bonus people. Maybe an era + class instead of one specific character.

Key loots are a bunch of loaded craps, where you may get a relatively recent character once in a year, perhaps!
Showdown rewards are no more appealing! You can get almost all the coins, with no milestone containing a chance to get a new superstar! I can recall one sd event, where we had to win 150 matches to get a guaranteed superstar (not shard) loot! Many of us benefitted from it, literally!
Every week new character gets released with damning power, yet the free loots are filled with old players having little to no impact on the current giants! And the odds of getting better characters is next to 0!
MLCs are getting difficult for many to even get half done! Many a times it has happened that contest superstars set aren't available to all and not everyone has access to loads of ig coins & tps to build them, only to see new characters getting released & building the ones required for tour bonuses becomes irrelevant!
I agree with what has been told already! The new modes are not for everyone, only the selected few can reap rewards from em!
Never a user of subscriptions, won't be ever! Unless something is done about it

Please bring back the days where the key loot gave you shards for the free monthly character. Also with the requirements of kickoff talent up being so massive it would be nice if the rewards matched the effort it takes to max. There used to be a time that there was a 3sb of the free character when you maxed the TU. Sure that would take away from the money you make selling the 3sb but for crying out loud does EVERY THING have to have a price tag attached to it?
Another option that I feel should be considered is give the constant new characters a rest. We don't need 5 new characters a month. Not to mention currently we could use a break on a new character every month. It would be nice to have an event/events that's surrounded around resources and TU so we have a legitimate opportunity to improve what we have. The game used to have so many intriguing events when we used to have take the urn, or the original 8 events. It would be nice to see fresh ideas or a revamp of some of the older ideas that made us come back daily.
Sadly I have vowed that if significant changes haven't been made by Wrestlemania and continue the WM event will be my last and after nearly 5 years I'm ok with just walking away cold turkey. I couldn't agree more with this game becoming a chore and survival to maintain a faction spot. Finally it was great when you guys loaded us up with resources, and then that was killed by the daily/weekly coin or TP events requiring massive amounts of either to max quickly chewing away at the resources in meaningless weekly or daily events. We're also not even allowed to enjoy our previous new character because once the MLC is over that person becomes an after thought and it's on to the next chase.

Il gioco oramai richiede molto tempo,dottorato alle cose più importanti ,e si sta spingendo sempre più verso lo shop.si sta perdendo il divertimento dello stesso , prerogativa iniziale del gioco

I get you want to make money but it’s getting beyond a joke.
we don’t want new (alternative versions) every week.
we don’t want to have to spend our whole wages to reach milestones.
im vip12 which equates to a car at least.

State of the game right now is more becoming pay to play then it ever has been before and the events, characters, etc are so repetitive it’s making me and a lot of people lose interest in the game to get back people into the game is those two new tournaments is a decent start but scale back some others so people actually have a chance to get those super rare characters instead of making people spend hundreds even thousands of dollars to get shards of characters every one has, so just take in consideration scaling back some of this stuff would make the game fun again to grind and actually come out with a new character and not just shards

I was going to construct a post explaining exactly how I felt about the game but I read Scott’s post and he put my feelings across in a more intellectual way than I could ever manage so… please pretend that this is my post 🤣

Copy and paste events and having a better shot at pulling a super star from a bag than the loot for months and months has made lots just stop spending all together.
There is absolutely nothing exciting in the game anymore.
Bring back faction contests that matter and stop releasing a new character every week with miserable odds of pulling them.

VIP should be a totally different thing. The fact that DX Shawn, DX HHH and King of Kings is locked behind a membership is kind of ridiculous. Especially when nothing truly got updated, DX Vault aside. We definitely need something better. Also, slowing down on characters isn't a bad idea, especially when you have ones you can't even acquire anymore, leaving us several tokens off. Also agree that we need inventory clean up and the option to flip gear tokens into gear that may be harder to obtain normally

I agree with what Sissa said but I disagree with Mherex. Sorry man, love your videos but I disagree that they’re listening at all.
I’ve been playing since beta/pre-world launch and the game has never been further from listening than it is now. We used go get fun Q & A’s, update videos….giveaways that all of us would get. Those days are long gone.
We’ve asked for the ability to get chase characters at 1s and build since day 1. Still hasn’t happened. How much happier would the community be if you could have a crack at getting a 1s by grinding and speeding up the process by buying a 3s fuse up or some tool for them to still make money? They did it a few years back in the Trick or Treat bags if you got ZSCSA. Best $40-50 ever spent. Speaking of treat bags, still pissed those weren’t given out for the first time since release. Those were fun and people enjoyed them.
The MLC kickoff blitz has been a pain in my side. I don’t want to have to do 80+ blitzes because I’m not in the mood to give Scopely another $20 to start a month. I’m fine with people doing it or the $100 offer, just don’t force it by making hard mode impossible without $$$.
The goal posts move way too often in this game. You even had to create verbiage in your blog posts to CYA for your eventual mistakes. Every other gaming company is pro-player, you’re Scrooge. We used to have ways to get some loot pulls in special blitzes as possible rewards. That truly helps your F2P player base CONSIDER spending here & there. I get your company needs to make money but your top 1% always shows up. Isn’t it about creating new cash flows? How in the world do you get new customers when the characters they start out with are so outdated & only way to even think of playing is by spending. They run the other way. This game hasn’t added a large group of players in a very long time.
What happened to building a week around each PPV? It was fun to have tours or shirt coins for a special loot for featured PPV. You guys punted on that a long time ago but should be something to bring back.
Where are the fun spend coins on loot pulls that happened every few months? Weren’t top tier megas but guys got new characters and some were low end tier 1.
People tell you all the time about the experiences in _______ game and yet you have ignored what would be in our interest. You ruined faction events and found ways to get long time members kicked because of your new strategy.
I know I sound like the old man yelling at the kids on the lawn but I’ve mentioned countless items on surveys and have never seen a move to any of them. Only thing that has ever worked is when Guersan made his thinking of quitting video after the Broken Matt Hardy loot debacle. They promised communication after our spend ban in April 2020 but never followed up. They won’t move until a big whale walks away.

i agree with the majority of comments above.
instead of 6 new characters a month, why not make it 4- the freebie, the chase, and 2 new cards. Use the off weeks to allow players to earn some shards of already existing newer cards. Or refresh old cards with new move sets or gear that makes them more current.
I personally liked the monthly solo to utilize the free guys more, how it used to be earlier this year. That older model encouraged you to level up the new free guy as much as possible. The current model using the free guy talent up— and just having a single tour for him- means that it’s really not worth it
the shard wall was great and I miss that
I agree that we need to bring back star blitzes and inventory recycling. And please- a way to do like +5 or +10 leveling instead of all or 1.

Can’t agree more. I think the balance of f2p and p2w has become intolerable. I think when you spend, you should absolutely have an advantage, it’s what “keeps the lights on” in a mobile game, but I think this game has lost the focal point. We are now separating the events, so that there is no way to “grind” to complete objectives, and I think that’s what Sissa was getting at. You’ve separated the player base and excluded the vast majority, for reasons unknown to me at least. It used to be fun working together in everyone’s own way to complete objectives and get rewarded, now if you don’t spend, what’s the point. Spending should be a way to cut down on the amount of grinding that is needed, not it’s own scoring method. Your losing your community and it sucks, because I do love this community and the game. Stop killing it please

I enjoy this game and I've played for a while but it seems just when it starts to go in the right direction it takes a sharp left to worse than it was
There are so many characters released monthly and so many different requirements that if you don't spend an insane amount then you aren't competing and in some cases you aren't even playing
Maybe go back and revamp some irrelevant characters and reskin them so newer players can even acquire them. For instance no one will ever use the Dudleys, they won't be a requirement and they just sit there
Also you just started to let people be able to replenish all the resources we need every month to be competitive then you raise the currency price. Sunday coin event went to 32m coins...we used to not spend that in a week. These are the types of things that frustrate people. If it were only that players would probably look over it but with the money and the resource costs and the time required and all these things that you keep adding to that is making people upset.
I know you're a for profit business and there's nothing wrong with that but I think you forget that this is played as an escape for people to have fun and lately the reward just isn't there.

Bring back faction spend diamond loot to win a new gear events!
I've been saving my diamonds for 2 years and I'm ready to spend them!
Also how about invasion 2.0!!
1 -
I dont know how anyone could come in here and say the MLC has never been easier to complete. These last 2-3 months have been tedious. The best word I could use to describe trying to work up the free character is "sluggish". I've struggled to barely get them to 3sg by months end, whereas earlier in the year I was getting them to 4s bronze or silver. And I've done that while also refusing to use the turnbuckles. I hate perks, and the only way to prove that is not to use them.
I won't stick around if the current mlc format, talking about the talent up, the paywalled blitz, the generic feud rewards, the cash spend events, the dedicated free character tour, the price creep, the absent shard wall, and the fuse fest you've been putting at the end of the month are here to stay.
The early part of this year was nice though. And the one click claim with the multiplier. Positive developments for sure.
Do not bring back invasion. That mode was crap.
I am one of those people that beleaves that most things in this game should be grindable but that paying can make it faster. I do spend a little here and there but its the hidden odds and the bottom filled garbage that holds me back. I'm never going to pay for a membership, I think that whole concept of memberships on a mobile game is insanity. But its obvious that many like it or at least enough do.
But I dont think a group of big spenders should be empowered to cheat the rest of us out of basic fairness. And I'm talking about Wolfpac Sting here. When he was pulled from the showdown store, everyone with shards should have gotten something. But the people that had managed the full recruit reacted "overwhelmingly negatively" so nothing was done. Thats ridiculous. Did anyone ask the people that paid 500USD to buy Papa Shango if they cared when he was placed into free loot? How about the people that paid for Andre's mid south gear that is now in the gear loot? In normal retail sometimes things go on sale and I get the item that you paid full price for at a much lower price...no one asks previous owners if that's ok.
Serious question here...why are blitz tickets even a thing anymore? Why does this mode need additional barriers to entry? You already require a certain number of a specific type of character and they all have to be full health. Why do we also need tickets on top of that? And I'm talking about today, not the 4 years ago blitzes.
Why does gear loot give out silver hangers with nothing to spend them on? Why are some gears still priced in gold hangers that no one can obtain? Why does the game give out belts that no character in the game can wear? If I want to spend all of my time in this game trying to recruit that one specific character I love; why is there not some pathway for me to do that? Why does every event need event-specific currency? When most people complain about inventory clutter, why do you start giving out a function less trophy for mlc completion (and I'm certainly not suggesting the trophies start doing things)?
Lastly though, to the player base, we can complain all we want but if you don't show them that their poor decisions will affect the bottom line then what incentive do they have to listen to us?

I agree with all comments.
I really enjoyed this game as a whole it is slowly going away. This is my take on this game as of now.
- I really enjoy not having to do dailies.
- what really is the ending factor is doing weekend sd and only coming out with a half character when you use to be able to grind sd and get the character even if you had to do talent up to get there, I find this is over stepping people for grinding the event instead of paying for the character.
- feud rewards need to be better hiding all the big rewards behind a paywall is not right some people don’t have thousands to spend on this game a week or a month.
- blitz wow you really screwed this up, i remember getting the free character at 1sb but you put enough evo tokens in the talent up and blitz to get that superstars to 2sb to be able to do hard mode by the end of the week, now you expect people to buy the free character at 3sb just to do the hard blitz now paywalled hell is very understandable but hard mode not so much.
- Talent up, I understand with the 5sg coming out you have to raise it that doesn’t bother me, what bothers me is that is was fine right at 150 million no you have to raise it to 180 million why there was no need too it was just as hard to do 150 million then 180 million your plus why are we still getting headliner chips and diamonds that you never use on anything. Put extra evo tokens for your free character instead of those things.
- Mlc I like the idea that you are using 2 characters now where you can get the bags for the mlc points but why not bring back like the afa event or like the vaults I read above that you take away everything the community likes and that’s very true you always take 10 steps forward and the community likes it to only go back 20 steps to upset people in the community to get them to fold there game.
- VIP this is the one that gets me we are collecting auto clear tickets for nothing now every event you bring out that you can use them on to help your faction you cannot use the (pumpkin event) we should be allowed to use them per events especially the hhh tour.
- quit taking away events we like to do and think is very enjoyable to play
5 -
It would be nice if was like old times rng is absolutely horrible..
What I would change is allow an event chase character to be given even if just at 2*. Also have a pity timer like if after 10 key/ loot pulls you get a guaranteed 4*+ drop that is very rare +

All I want to do is make WWE champions a greater place all the points above me are all true way too many new characters,rebuff the blitz rewards for blitz,put more rewards in solo rewards but easily like put in some TP and coins in those solo, the game has been fun but it turn from listening to the free to play players to be for pay to play players only I get that you give free mlc characters but for the love of God please please listen to the more free casual player that is all been trying to ask it hasn't always been fair to us free players but you have to remember you wouldn't be where you are if it wasn't for us we are the ones that help you grow the way you are. I'm always confused on the silver hangers on to get new gears.

I agree with everything Sissa said in the first comment not because if I don’t stabby bear 🐻 will get me but because the lady talks sense rather then doing wrestling moves on my brother every day we both load the game up and forget about the real world for a few hours which is great but no so great when unless you spend real money for example at beginning of each month long event you need to do 360 normal blitz matches to reach your 1% king of kings tour was good about 25 years ago now you get more coin from logging in every 24 hours then you do off the 42 matches on that tour try something new like for every 500 matches someone does on the game they get to choose 1 shard even of a character they need I no you guys at scopely will be mortified reading something like that but at least it would be something have a Ecw month on the game surely it’s not just RVD Bam Bam Dudleys and Cactus you guys can only have on the game ? Shard wall bring that back even just 4 times a year every 3 month give people hope they might get the remaining shards of Otis or get the chance to get a few heavy hitters in there roster like Neville and Ryback we are nearly in The year 2022 and Rick Rude Shards and Harlem heat Booker shards just arnt cutting it anymore I assume most could take them both 10 star gold if possible 😂 add medals and straps to the wall every month too like you guys have done with the skill plates that would be a great addition now I’m not asking for much here but hopefully my message works it’s way to the CEO of your company the vinny mac of scopely and you guys go Wow this man talks sense 😀🙌🏻

In addition to much of the feedback above that I wholeheartedly agree with, I’d like to reiterate a few points made that when put together could solve for some of the game’s gaps today.
- Bring back the shard wall. This was my favorite feature of the game when it existed. It enabled f2p’ers to obtain characters otherwise out of reach or behind pay walls. Spending should accelerate a player’s progress in the game - on the other hand, making spending necessary to obtain certain characters alienates a large percentage of the player base
- Flip side, although I am not a spender, I can sympathize with those who are - who are discouraged by the fact that perks can so dramatically alter character’s abilities. Perks neutralize coveted top-tier superstars worth. I think the perks system needs to be revamped entirely. Feud and SD suffer badly from the current perks’ system
- New and different game modes - some comments above that I love - steel cage tag team matches, maybe a refreshed version of invasion, alternative SD modes (the recent mid-week event was a nice add.)
Lastly, please please please eliminate belts from pulls that do not fit any current character. Belts require a lot of in-game currency to acquire and it’s extremely disappointing to pull a belt that is unusable.
Thank you for making a game that I’ve enjoyed playing for the past (gasp) almost five years. There’s always ways to refresh and innovate - I hope you’ll consider taking action on some of this feedback.
On a final positive note, I love the “pick a plate” reward that was introduced this month. Would love to see that continue in the game and to be expanded to include some of the rarer plates.
Best,
AmandaHugNKiss

There are many great comments on this post already. I hope that the developers are able to see that the community cares about this game and wants to see it succeed.
Please continue to work on the known issues and understand that when members put in support tickets they have time and or money invested in this game. The community is the biggest sales team you have to get people involved and playing.

I'm not going to try to add anything here, I can't think of a complaint that I have that hasn't been addressed multiplem times.
I just wanted to hop in to ask that y'all actually use this thread and the requests and advice given by the players to make some changes that we, the players, have actually asked for and not some random new mode that no one wants.
Thank you

Here’s my input coming from a person that has Matt Hardy and it doesn’t matter one way or another to me but I have friends that don’t have Matt. Matt Hardy showboat needs to be reskinned so that the people that don’t have him can get the trainer ability without it nearly every acro in the game sucks for them besides snoop ztaker and ford. It needs to be a reskin because if there’s a new character that gets released with it the people without Matt still get shafted because people with both can put both on a character like hbk shawn and now the new norm for acros is that so it defeats the purpose please think about this.

I think it's a pretty damning indictment of the game when the best new feature introduced into the game is something that enables players to play the game less. One click collect is brilliant because we no longer have to do the pointless dailies. Instead of having great new features to spend our time on, players would rather not play thanks to the one click collect.
Things that need immediate resolution:
- Stop putting kick off blitz hard mode behind a $20 paywall. It's unnecessary gouging. If you absolutely have to do it, make it $5 and make it a worthwhile chase for grinders so that it's possible to work the card up to 3 star with some effort
- Stop making every single event pay to max. The best thing about the recent feud event was that there were enough shards for the chase character if you grinded a lot. That's the first time that has happened in a very long time. Every other contest has needed anywhere from $200 to $600 to max. Outside of a very small group of players, nobody is paying that. All it does is make the player base resentful
- Make the VIP subscriptions worthwhile. Currently the only subscription that is actually worthwhile is the strap up pass. The 3 VIP card deals are terrible, and have been terrible for a long time. At this point they've basically been replaced with weekly backstage passes.
- Make sure that events work properly the first time. This is by far my number 1 complaint in the game. At least 50% of the new events or contest related tasks don't work properly when they're launched. It's ridiculous how often things don't work.

There have been many changes and improvements to the game over the years. Some significantly better and some that haven’t worked. Please revamp the team modes of the game so that it is more enjoyable. What point does it make to have a faction of 100, if the top 15-25 players are the true difference makers? This is disappointing. The current rewards systems and superstar restrictions heavily incentivize solo play and spending to win rather than spending for value or roster enhancement. This alienates the team play aspect and erodes the fun of the game.
Areas I’d like to see improvement in the most are
Faction Feuds:
Likes - PVP mode
Dislikes - Same faction reward layout for the last 2 years, restricting superstar lineups
Wish - Unrestricted feud lineup that allows players to choose who they want. Give better bonuses for using contest superstars/new released player in feud lineup. Update feud rewards and bonuses for faction based gameplay
Feuds is a mode that has rapidly declined for years. It’s the most PVP mode in the game and used to be my favorite due to the faction teamwork and thrill of getting the most out of my collected superstars.
The superstar restrictions are too heavy. At this point in the game there are enough perks, belts, etc for players to decide on their teams and make them viable.
Also, while the individual reward system has improved, the faction reward is lacking. The 1st - 3rd place reward bonuses are severely outdated and should be updated with something that reflects today’s gameplay. Perhaps even work in faction bonuses through the top 10 factions. Incentivize us to work together and take some pride in this mode again as a team rather than just individual glory.
Showdown:
Likes - Incentives to use other superstars via contest superstar bonus
Dislikes - Faction based rewards have been heavily reduced for this mode or are based on mostly on a faction’s spending.
Wish - A better reward system faction wide was in place here. Bring back team play in this as it’s also a PVP mode
Bugs:
I understand that it’s software and things will always happen. What should not happen is the customer base being left hanging on weekends with no word from support that acknowledges or says that you are looking into what’s going on. The weekends are the largest driver in the game. Having support personnel on standby to acknowledge issues is a simple appeasement while we wait the fixes. Please fix this
And due to the very large number of bugs/crashes that do occur on the weekends while fixes are not available, I think it would be fair to issue health kits ahead of the event or increase the heal rate for superstars during weekend tournaments. At least until things are stable. Support has been good at honoring requests for health returns promptly. However during a tournament I feel we should be only writing support for something new not an ongoing bug
For me the grinding, spending, analyzing in-game inventory is paid off in the player vs player modes. Improving these and bringing back the team play aspect would go a long way in improving my experience with the game

Whenever there is a criticism of Scopely and its operations, I see a lot of apologists coming out of woodwork defending that it is a business and that it, at the end of the day needs to make money. No one is disputing that. The ones with scruples however, do that by giving its players a choice. Grind hard and complete tasks to get the rewards or pay a sum for a shortcut and make your lives easier. Scopely does not. To complete an event, even the weekend ones, you effectively need to sum out money. And if you go by recent trends, that amount needs to be in hundreds. And even when they are pretending to cater to the people who don't want to pay, it involves bulking up your roster by hundreds of thousands in talent up which indirectly need you to purchase resources. (Not everyone sits on a top 5 faction like some of the defenders to see a windfall of resources. And while the resources have improved across the board it does not mean that it has made completing daily events any easier). Can't pay, sorry, you are no longer competing, sit by the sidelines, do your thing and take whatever scraps are thrown. What's more insulting even with such blatant handicap when it comes to the event milestones, they double down on adding insult to injury by still asking you to do 100-150 matches just to get the paltry milestones. So the grinders get all of the effort and absolutely none of the payoff. If you are a grinder, your effort, your time, your commitment means s**t to them. To some of the people gushing about some of the recent improvements, granted they are much needed they are still boiler plate and have been more than counter balanced by the increased resource requirements for various events. And it took them 4 (FOUR) years to come up with it. So please excuse me when I don't pat their backs and hand them cookies for that. To the same people showing that as a proof of them listening, that's hilarious. You come across as naive at best. Again, it took them 4 years to come up with one genuinely good thing. When was the last time an event that was accepted as a good one on a general consensus was repeated? Surely, if they were listening, we'd get more of THOSE. No, instead we get to vote on our favorite out of the 16 biggest overspenders on this game and hope they win so that we can get some pittance out of it.
Edited to add:
At least some of the comments above mentioned about how much easier it is for the newer players. I'm sorry, but no. You might be comparing to a time when you had to deal with 1 star and 2 star characters and feel new players getting a 3-4 star is great for them, but they are playing in a different meta needing resources different from what you did back then. So, while a daily coin reward of 1.5 million looks great when you remind yourself of your early days, you needed 50-100k coins to max your stars and be competitive ; while the new players need 9-15 million. And they need to spread it around different trainers and coaches to even get to a level playing field while you had the leisure of getting them up at your own pace as and when they were released and acquired. Yet, they do not get the advantage of some of the trainers since Scopely decided to screw the newer players over by taking them out of rotation and doing absolutely nothing to remedy that. Best example, Sin Cara and Showboat Matt Hardy. Almost every half decent acrobat needs it. Yet they are no longer available and haven't been over a year. Go ahead and tell a newer player how much easier he has it while you have the same characters he has but can do thrice as better because of trainers and coaches he can no longer acquire. There are other niche trainers that have no alternative/poor alternative/behind the paywall of a new mega. Even if the new player acquires these work around, the older players can still stack the abilities with their existing options. The only advantage they genuinely get is to skip over some of the roster choices you made and chase alongside you, the newer characters, each of which is way more overpowered than the last rendering the older characters useless. But then you're still getting and spending the same resources in the present and you have an advantage with the choice of your entourage and the state of their development. So once again, what advantage? I'd request you to drop your rose tinted glasses of nostalgia and check your privilege.

This is general topic to start out update upon update I understand that the game needs to be more fun and exciting yes but I also understand after playing for almost 7 years that when you have reported issues and bugs like the ton of red rings and crashes when doing Feuds fix those first ever since I started playing back in 2014 this game has that red ring and when your character is in the middle of a match you know that it will either crash or time out that’s not fun that’s annoying happens a couple times a week during Stipulated matches as well so for the idea of bringing new content yes bring it but before you do absolutely fix the old problems first I understand that companies need to make money but your making a crap ton off of a buggy game if you want happy players that will try to spend so we all have a better experience mix it up some on the MLC as well game is getting stale with the same old stuff in faction contests would be fun and very helpful for the whole group
