Faction feud steps (80% kickout boost)

After enduring one painful brawl where my opponent had maxed out steps with an 80% kickout boost. I can safely say it was one of the most unenjoyable experience I’ve had in 5 years of playing.
fair enough give the players who purchase steps a warscore advantage, that’s absolutely fine as they’ve paid to have an advantage.
adding the kickout buff undoes any kind of strap and medal set up on any opposing superstar which makes any strategy obsolete, unless your superstar can do upwards of 4 million damage turn 1.
i started feuding a couple of hours after the start and after seeing the disgust from my own factions server and other discord servers i knew it was going to be a mess.
i didn’t want to complain until I tried it for myself and I can safely say this has ruined this feud for me. I really enjoy feuding it’s one of the better parts of the game due to the competitive aspect. The kickout buff takes all of that away and is basically a cheat code.
please don’t have this in steps ever again. An even better idea would be remove steps from the game period.

This was a complete step backwards. There is no joy in this pay for advantage. Let it stay with zReigns. This is something no one asked for.

what a crap, transparently greed inspired move. Continue to make the game unenjoyable and unfairly disadvantaged to the non or small paying majority and see how fast your game folds...

This stinks !!! For cost you have to spend to get the advantage and take the fun out of the game . Forcing members to spend money on a game just to be good or have fun ! Pretty sad what this game has come to . A huge spending event in everything !! How are free to play members not be mad at this or every event ! We get it you need to make money 💰 .. no one is saying not too but let's remember this is just a GAME and it's supposed to be fun ! You guys just make it more stressful

feud was always lots of fun and make factions work hard to out perform each other and make fun internal competition and you have completely destroyed that with an 80% kickout boost you have to pay for? If u have the money to spend you basically can pay to win. This is really becoming ridiculous. You are making this game completely pay to play and no longer fun those who have been here since the beginning. Drop tons of cash and you can beat anyone… I get you are a business but you are ruining this game with your money hungry additions.

80% kick buff?? This was quite the bit too much. I can 100% agree with a war score buff advantage for the high paying customers, but the 80% kick buff is highly unfair and makes the FTP players as well as the moderate spenders game experience very discouraging to the point of “why bother even playing”
I’ve purchased steps before, I spend on pulls and passes, packs, bundles. All of it for 5yrs now. This premium buff was a slap in the face to players that have been extremely active in making this game a success. You need to do better Scopley.

Sorry, but this was a horrible idea and even worse in practice.
Personally I wish steps could just be removed from feud completely, but this particular version needs removing/changing before the next feud.
If warscore steps are designed to speed up progress, the kickout buff isn’t giving any real benefit for this purpose. Instead, the kickout buff is simply making the experience of feuding far less enjoyable for everyone else.
As bad is this experience was as an experienced player, I can’t imagine how a new or casual player would feel being matched against a player with this ‘perk’.
No amount of medals, straps, trainers, line boosts, perks, can counter this either.
Please either remove this from the warscore perk or make these perks only work on offense.

Spot on with this post. Absolute health pack drainer and doubling the amount of time for one round of feud.

This perk of the 80% kick out boost had basically left me with no health packs, it's a joke of a perk. Feuds were just starting to get good and fun again, but this now has taken it backwards a few steps (no pun intended).
2 -
Completely agree. Draining thousands of health packs only due to the fact that your opponent spent more than you completely ruins the tactics we have spent months fine tuning.

The offensive perks were amazing, but the steps having all the extra gem damage and kickout damage felt like a slap to the face for the player base that doesn’t buy stairs. Honestly I don’t like the idea of stairs anyway. Let it be a grind fest for leaderboards and not a spend event like everything else

The kick out perks are just bad for the game. I get the war score and gem damage. but you essentially gave everyone in the game almost a roman reigns for every characters. Faction feud should honestly be about roster vs roster with their coaches, belts and trainers. Perks are not entirely too bad but when you introduce that kick out it just ruins the feud. a showboat should not be able to kick out of a 2.5mil pin. I like the way the other perks are just please don't put the kickout one back in the game. thank you

The steps should be extra warscore only. I didnt run into them that often but when I did it was not fun. Completely takes all strategy, straps, medals, and trainers and coaches out of the factor and you're just giving the other player a clear paid advantage. Guys kicking out numerous times of pins they would not have only made each fight and brawl last longer than it should have. Not too mention how it kept your opponent in the game and let them wreak more damage upon your team than they should have and causing losses you otherwise wouldn't have taken, and having to rely upon more resources to heal and get ready for your next feud. All in all I think the steps are a bad addition to feud, what's the point of us spending in game resources on perks to try to get the advantage if you're just going to negate them by letting people spend money to get the clear advantage no matter what the circumstances.

This thread is spot on. The added damage and kick out boosts are a very large over reach. To be clear, I am not F2P... I have purchased steps in the past... I have no issue with people being able to buy an advantage in the game. This however is far too much and needs to go.

The kickout boost in the steps was an awful idea. If I were a newer player I’d be completely defeated. Having to use that much hp in a feud is crazy. If this continues i will definitely reassess continuing to play this game and that’s saying a lot from someone who’s been playing since close to the beginning of the game.

We will pass the feedback along to the team directly.

I liked the kickout damage. It gave me a reason to use 300 health packs. Also, if opponent would have kicked out, more points to finish the health off.

that perk was behind a paywall… so let the greedy whales get it. I honestly hate Faction Feuds as the same factions are always on top

Lockout buff was the worst idea I you have come up with to date. It created such an unfair advantage and made strategizing your wrestlers matchup for feuds boring and tiresome bc very few superstars have the ability to produce such high takedown that would sustain a three count pin or put the opponent into danger. The warscore buff is understandable....it gives a person the edge in overall score for the competition but in game it doesn’t give them any type of edge in the match itself. The kickout buff was ridiculous, silly and made a mockery of an otherwise fun aspect of the game.

Terrible, simply terrible idea with the kickout perk.
It's undone all the positives that the recent fixes have brought (more balanced feud perks, more open requirements).
It's fine when steps boost the superstar offensively and speed up the progress since they are paid for. But making the game far less enjoyable for virtually everyone leaves many scratching their heads as to what that was supposed to achieve.
Echoing what was already said, the kickout boost defeats some of the basic reasons of playing the game when buying a perk can beat months of pumping resources, tweaking straps and medal setups for your superstars.
Hope this will be a valuable learning on what should be avoided in any future event.

The 80% kickout on the steps is wrong in so many modes. It nerfs so many superstars and their abilities and play styles. I understand paying for steps to get warscore faster. But the Kickout was a horrible option that should never return. The perks for this fued we're perfect, I applaud you for tweaking them to get them correct, please keep keep these fued perks the same, but remove the Kickout off the steps

Kickout steps are a bit much. Giving someone a line bonus when they spend a few hundred dollars or more in some cases is fair but the kickout steps made the grind a chore and not fun.

All I’m saying is completely
get rid of perks for pvp(feud, showdown)… nothing more annoying than someone being stacked out with perks and steps.. put us on a more of a level playing field and make it fun for everyone that plays not just people that spend a metric butt tonne.
that’s not a dig at spenders as I spend also.. just don’t like buying perks to bring myself level with others during feud n showdown..
so yea, put perks in the bin! Please..

@Stagger Lee the reason I created a new post regarding the kickout boost was because this one clearly got put to the bottom of the pile.
1 -
I agree. I like that the steps add a Warscore bonus for those with limited time, or going for the top score. I even don't mind when they add damage to gems or moves etc. However the Kickout + is an awful idea. I hope it doesn't return... I won't be purchasing steps again until that feature is removed.

What a completely frustrating step backwards after achieving some sort of equilibrium with the turnbuckle perks themselves. A large majority of the community enjoys the grind of feud events, but when someone can make a purchase and make their lives this miserable, it's no longer fun. There is zero issue with people wanting to purchase war score boosts, but that does not need to come at the expense of others and their brawls. Please consider removing the kick-out boost altogether. Thank you.

The +kickout % was extremely frustrating to deal with, and I think that it takes away from the spirit of feuding and grinding.
If you're going to keep the +score boost, that's fine, but please please please take out the kickout boost.

Echoing mostly the same thoughts spread throughout this post. The kickout part of the steps was truly not needed. Just when we all ( that enjoy feud) get excited that the gem degeneration problem was fixed and we took a big step forward, this kickout thing takes us two steps back.
The biggest problem with perks throughout the game is what they are intended to do. Perks ( especially ones bought ) should make the person getting the perks have an advantage. I mean, I’m no English major, but it’s pretty much the definition of the word. Perks that someone else has shouldn’t make my highly valued and limited time playing the game less enjoyable on my end. I shouldn’t have to get perks to end up balanced ( in defense of my opponents perks ). Getting perks to end up even because of another’s perks basically change what they are…they are no longer “perks”, they are basically checks and balances.
Long rant over…at the very least remove the 80% kickout on steps please. That combined with 50% more gem damage makes people unpinnable and feud intolerable.

Scopely kickout perk = scopely continuing to do every thing they can to remove all fun from the game....
