    It looks like I’m not getting any rewards from the Best of 2021 normal blitz. I can get the points for completing the normal blitz for the Best of 2021 event.

    Right now I am missing:

    540k in coins

    12 Mystery 25 TP Bags

    180 Health Packs

    How is it that EVERY time a new event gets added, something always breaks. The Quality Assurance Department either needs to be retrained or canned… oh wait, the players are your QA department, nevermind

  • The lobby is broken. Nobody still in a match and it a “full” of old expired matches.

    We are aware of Blitz Rewards not paying out correctly for some. We are currently investigating this issue and will make sure affected players receive their rewards promptly.


    Thanks for your patience.

  • With the boss battle on hiatus for now. What about the rewards? This is putting a damper on everyone getting the required rewards in the available time remaining.

    The event is kinda not good.

    The faction boss keeps lagging and crashing or worse freezing during your turns. That shield is a pain in the ass and not to mention. You won't get a chance to get the "Best of 2021 Pickers Medallion" unless you whale the loot. The milestone is too high and most of the f2p for sure wouldn't even reach high milestones since even the tours require rare superstars. Unless you're really lucky with the faction boss and it doesn't crash. You might be able to get some but as it seems now.

    Whales rule this event

    there was very little good about this weekend event. The blitzes didn’t reward for a good portion of the event. Tie that into the boss breaker lobby issues, and that left a good chunk of the weekend doing nothing. I really enjoyed boss breaker and have provided feedback. That said, maxing that event did very little to make a dent in the solo event. It took great effort to get level 10 for boss breaker, and even as a beta, there wasn’t any real reward for it except a Pat on the back.

    the loot pool was extremely bad and overpriced for the amount of NON-2021 characters in the pool. If w charge premium for pulls, then don’t put SB Randy Orton in the pool. It’s insulting as a consumer.

    finally, the amount of TU needed to make even a dent in the solo contest is laughable, especially considering we had a traditional TU at the beginning of the week. If the loot pool was better, then maybe people would get cards to build up, but it goes back to my previous point where there’s no real incentive to do pulls.

    Solo Contest

    • Even when you tell us in the blog "you're only going to max this with a lot of 'loot spins'" it's still a bad feeling to know that the serotonin boost of maxing an event will be reserved for the biggest spenders.
    • I get what you were going for with the talent up parameters, but it all ends up being a little bit too much to keep track of compared to one or two subsets and I doubt I'm the only one that just tunes out at a certain point. Also when you see the limits on there it's another big red flag that this solo contest is simply not built for free players.
    • Tying so many points to blitz runs coming straight off the kick-off blitz (which is always the worst of the two MLC blitz runs) is a bit draining. I think it would've been more advisable to run a weekend blitz after the easier end-of-month blitz. One thing's for sure: You've made me very glad that you guys don't do weekly blitzes anymore with this!

    Faction Boss Contest

    • That's a eyedropper's worth of solo points in an ocean of solo contest points needed to even hit the "F2P max" - I'm going to guess there was some concern about tying too many good rewards to this content just in case it was completely busted? In that sense it was savvy given the long outage on Saturday during US afternoon/UK prime time.
    • If you want people to really stress test the mode, you've got to give some kind of grinding option. Maybe don't reward people every time they run a level 1, but if they're regularly clearing 7 or higher? Throw them a couple faction boss contest points even if it's their 1000th time clearing it. The lobbies in my faction were absolutely dead because people had given up on it after it went down on Saturday and it took concerted effort to put together even a Level 7 faction run. Can't blame them - there was nothing to really do other than poke at it.

    Blitzes

    • Regular: Hoo boy, this one was a misfire. That middle spot on the middle row looks like it's for four-star silver and up but I think it caught people by surprise that they couldn't use 5-star bronzes! It certainly caught me by surprise. Combine that with persistent reward issues and it's just a gimme for players with an axe to grind - "You guys can't even run a gauntlet blitz right and you're putting out a new mode?" Anyway, thanks for tying the tickets to the tours and not to purchases. Small victory.
    • Premium: Well, the rewards worked here, naturally, as it was paywalled outside of a dozen runs. Also seemed to scale fairly considering I sent in a 5SG Techboat. Can't complain about 12m coins and 12 5SG tokens, but it's just another one of those things that fuels the fire of disgruntled players angry about ongoing issues with the game that they feel like are being ignored in favor of the new shiny toy.

    Tours

    • Giving options to use the free/chase characters for the corresponding MLCs was appreciated. Ultimately it was a pretty straightforward way to get some blitz tickets and emerald tokens. Probably the best part of this event, all things considered.

    Loot

    • Absolutely terrible, three separate loot coins and not a worthwhile purchase to be found in any of them. Can't help but feel like the team knows people are spending more money at this time of year and have adjusted the odds accordingly to give people less for more. A far cry from some genuinely decent loots that popped up during the summer - when people probably aren't spending nearly as much on everything. The very worst of this event, far more egregious than a beta game mode that at least people clearly put some thought into.

    Prize Wall

    • Really happy for the whales. Hope they're able to find something in there that they haven't been able to get when throwing heaps of money at their phones.

    This event was a fiasco, plain and simple.

    The tours were ok, but the free character being a bonus character only in normal was awful.

    The Blitzes were ridiculous. I have 4 Masters of the WWE Universe 4 star or up and still couldn't do premium blitz. Awful!

    The Boss Breaker had no positives:

    • barely counted towards the event centered on it;
    • was riddled with bugs;
    • timeouts were abundant;
    • its so well thought that apart from 3 ou 4 super rare characters at 5 gold you barely had any chance of wining on level 8;
    • at one point I macthed 3 red gems, but the game said they didn't match... eventually they all aligned and I had 3 red gems sitting on the board in a line withou blowing up... it was a hell of a sight

    The rewards were fine, but unatainble for the vast majority of the players. I dare scopley to publish numbers on how many players actually managed to ge a single medallion through the rewards, let alone de thousands needed to get the top prizes.

    i Think once the lag and constant being dropped from matches has been sorted out, and rewards problems solved, this could be a nice feature to game. For a beta it was let’s say fustrating and time consuming

    To start I hated it but over the weekend I started to enjoy it.


    I do think the shields were too high at the top end. Having 100m HP and the high shield meant you had to have a striker macho to have a chance.


    was there any rewards due?

  • Lousy event

  • The 2021 blitz just lack a reason to push for prizes. The faction boss kept freezing almost every match I did so I just stopped playing. It seems like a cool idea just got frustrated by the freezing.

  • Undoubtedly the worst event ever run. Connection issues, matches going on for ages, terrible rewards. An absolute waste of time.

  • Gamebox

    animations take too long but sometimes can be skipped. Just skip all animations.

  • There are some great comments here detailing some of the issues. I think the two largest issues were the constant freezing of the game during my 60 second window which eliminated me multiple times and the low points for coins and the higher levels in the boss feuds. It was near impossible to max out and quite honestly, mostly everyone is going to get nothing from the prize section because it was so hard to get points unless you used up all of your coins and TP. This has potential if performance is improved and coins are obtainable.

  • Also gem matching was clearly bugged. I used Drew technician to create more blues than a land of smurfs and none counted

    The event overall wasn’t fantastic and it was overshadowed by the boss battle’s.


    tours were very good. Nicely scaled and decent requirements.


    Premium blitz gave out good rewards. 12 runs with 1m coins each run.


    rewards weren’t being paid on on the standard blitz but they weren’t a big loss.


    the event structure was heavily paywalled and the talent up aspect wasn’t very good either considering only a handful of characters could be worked on to score points.

    rewards wise I didn’t get high enough in the event to bother. Hit 9/20 milestones and kept my wallet closed for this one. Nothing really peaked my interest as soon as I saw where the prizewall currency was.


    the faction boss battles were the highlight of the weekend for sure. The best of 2021 event will go down as a fail unfortunately.

  • I didn’t really enjoy it . It was boring. Couldn’t finish level 7 . It takes too long and for the wait of others finishing there matches . Waste of time .

  • the worst event in 5 years and horrible prizes that the invasion event returns that gave good prizes

  • Hello it's good morning for me and it was the worst thing that lanscopely to created we do not talk about the prizes that did not give and then always stuck and ridiculous first I was very bad me and my faction

    It's fun to play new things like faction boss but lacuna...

    1- solo rewards too high to achieve

    2- boss health is too high

    3- confusive & complicated to play

    4- freezes and lagging

  • loudmusc

    Great you're trying something new. Horrible that "beta" means to test in a live environment. Test this internally first. Stop trying to fix the plane while flying.

    Concept was ok, tedious to beat the same boss 100 times. Server time lag hinders player.

    Considering it took like 3+ years for Fueds and Showdown to "work as intended", that would unfortunately be my expection with Boss Battles.

    Might as well just give the players ALL milestones for a poorly executed event.

    All I can say is y’all tried and it was not working right but it had potential to be amazing hopefully next time blitz will work right and give out rewards and maybe the faction boss won’t lag as much with connection issues but I really see greatest in this mode
