King of the Ring- Faction Feud

Alright here we go with another one of these.

as always I’ll start with the good

i will say the amount of points given out in rewards for the solo contest where much better. It didn’t feel like I was busting my butt for very few rewards. That was very nice to see. Also the superstars or links that where needed for war score points where also much more fair I thought. I will say for a feud it was very short compared to most feuds which I thought really stunk.

ok so now for the bad.

mom going to start with the loot pulls. You guys are getting way to carried away with the shards we can convert. I don’t spend money to get 10,000 shards of uselessness. These shards are still useless in my opinion. The trade in value is absolutely awful. I give you a example trying to get my riddle to 6S and I have about 25,000 tech shards and 850 riddle shards when I go to convert I’m still 1200 shards away. We’re literally spending about $4 a pull and if your gonna look at the convert value we’re getting Pennie’s on the dollar. I’m no dummie if this was a stock I would of gotten rid or it a while ago.

now for solo the points and rewards where very well balanced I thought but these warscore contest are getting way out of hand it’s like hey come play for 10 hours to walk away with a white belt and a plate that really is way over rated. The fact you have to play about 8 hours (a work shift) and not even max the contest with ALL the bonus superstars is just Ludacris.

now lets get to the Release character shard contest. So you put a 5SB release superstar card in the rewards if we are able to get 3,000 shards. You do know if we got to 3,000 shards we would already have the card right? After speaking with a lot of the community members we ALL feel that was a half a$$ attempt to make it look like the card was actually obtainable. That was really weak.

also I do have one negative thing when it comes to the solo contest. Although there where a lot more solo points available it still cost around $400 to max the solo event. I had all the bonus superstars which meant I got every single solo point possible in the tours and I also spent $220 , YEA $220 which is a paycheck for some people and I was still two milestones short of maxing. That is just awful. Literally legally robbing us. Here’s how I would break down this issue. $220 (a small paycheck)

total hours played 12 hours

so basically your charging a paycheck and a day and a half of work and we don’t even max the rewards. Now I don’t ever spend as much as I did this weekend. I was 101 shards away from tech Roman who is the only card I’ve ever chased. I spent $180 on pulls and got 50 shards twice so I said I was done being 1 shard away and then Sunday there is a $20 pack with 50 shards so I bought it. Now that I have the card of my favorite it’s very unlikely I will I will spend more than $20 a weekend. You guys had made the cost of everything as bad as the White House has made the cost of living in the United States. If you guys actually made these things more obtainable you know we’d probably spend more if we actually felt like we got our moneys worth.

hopefully the amount of points available in solo contest continue to be like they where this event cause for once they where fair to the player. Same with the requirements for warscore bonus.

as discussed on our podcast today we all feel like we won’t be this lucky again but hopefully we’re wrong.

overall this event was much better than usual but still those warscore prizes and and amount of time needed to reach them need to change. If you expect us to play for 12 hours we need more than a white belt and over rated skill plate.

Hi.

I would appreciate if the faction feud could last 24 hours, not only 20 hours.

Reason: the feud start in Europe during night and happen whole Sunday till evening.

If you are busy on Sunday, no chance to play, but you can play on Saturday evening.

Cheers

I have mixed feelings on the event. While it was laid out that the best chance of getting King Woods was spending cash, the tours and feud did have some decent rewards as well. There were some matches where my superstars weren’t leveled high enough to complete the tour, but that’s really on me for making that choice. Still, there was a way to still work on the tours part way because most had at least an older or free version of the character.

Do I think Scopely takes all of our issues into consideration when asking for feedback like this? I actually do, but I know they’re not going to implement everything at once. Example: Some said that it was impossible to max events, so eventually we were told that “you can earn this many shards in the event, and you can try for more with pulls for this price.” Some stated that the character bags had disappeared so they were brought back in limited quantities….not enough for people to pull all the shards for the character but enough for people to believe they have a chance to pull said superstar out of the bag (yes even if it is a small chance). The feedback won’t fix the game immediately but I’m sure as a community we still are being heard and all of our feedback is taken into account.

I used to be a paying player to the tune of $200-300 a month and honestly, I haven’t gotten much further than I would as a free player. Sure there was maybe one or two extra milestones I got, but usually it came at the price of many posters of characters I already had or the milestone loot was a belt I’d never use…that’s why it’s called a chance. Spending money never fully guarantees you will get everything they offer. I remember spending $250 one day when PH Drew was the featured superstar. You would think with over 100 pulls even a 1% chance that I could pull him…nope and didn’t end up getting that character till 2 years later when he wasn’t relevant. There was also a time where I spent $20 and pulled a 4sb “Fiend” with gear when he was featured. The luck is always there but never guaranteed. For the loot bags, I got lucky once and got Stevie Ray….however yes 99% of the time is always shards.

Whether I get every new reward or I decide to spend money here and there is irrelevant because in the end, I still enjoy playing the game. Yes a lot of my roster is old and outdated, but I have some that are still good and competitive.

All in all, the feuds and contests are made for us to have fun and win some stuff we didn’t have before. It won’t happen all the time, but one pull can make all the difference. Until then I stick with the motto of Learn, adapt, and overcome…..and then get my butt handed to me by a 5SG Kevin owens on turn one

Happy with the contests and the feud performance.

The only thing I would like to see is a longer feud window.

The event had several problems, in addition to being ultra restrictive, it was cloying. A very dull character who only came to cover up this month's bad event.

I liked this event. I would like the Faction Feud page to have a clear button so if I want to change my feud team I can. Once you save your team you pretty much have to replace players you no longer want/need with characters your not going to use in the feud.

Agreed with most other comments. You have to be a very high level player to compete in these restricted events. It's fun playing with a fully loaded character, but I know I will never get him in the game.

Solo contest

The solo contest was a step in the right direction. With that being said, I think that the term “free to play” needs to be redefined for some folks over at scopely. This game should be, for all intents and purposes, a free to play game. The amount of sheer time that this game demands alone, is enough to really drive home this fact. If a player is willing and able to put in the hours upon hours of work and dedication that it takes, they should theoretically be able to max any and every event. Time and hard work should be all that is required. The game moves at such a fast pace (ie 6 new characters per month) that it really doesn’t matter if a majority of players were able to earn the weekly characters. Understanding that you are a business and need to make money, I think that where players should pay is to get ahead in the game. Whether that be to complete a given event quicker or easier. There are so many avenues for revenue and the players who are in the top tier of spending are going to do so regardless.

Rewards continue to take a step in the right directions. Resources have improved tremendously and that is much appreciated. The prize wall having the previous weekly characters is a great new addition. My only gripe would be the available shards for “purchase” on those prize walls. 25 or 50 shards may get some of the larger spenders that new character, but for the majority it simply isn’t enough. It would be nice to be able to earn a minimum of 100 shards of any given character on these prize walls. It can be extremely frustrating for the “average” player to come up at around half of the required shards for any weekly character. Sometimes a bit more and sometimes a bit less but on average it seems to be right around half. What is the point in me spending so much of my valuable time and oftentimes money, only to end up missing the character by a landslide. Paywalling has become a huge issues within these events and as stated above it needs to be stopped. What happened to “grind-able” events? The event structure of the recent summerslam bulldog was a prime example of what an event could and should be. Do the work and earn the card.

The game right now isnt a whole lot of fun. The characters needed are chase characters nit many have. Get it together or this game will die.
