Subdue or Sumbit Contest

The Shayna character looks great. However nerfing the feud perks has made some key characters for free to play players extremely slow to use or unusable. The needs to be some kind of mechanic put into game to make free to play characters like Carmella and Str Sasha useable again. The feud perks being nerfed is great however in order to level the playing field for f2p and p2p/p2w characters some of the older characters need to be reworked.

All the events are starting to suck its becoming a pay to play game and you guys are catering to the spenders loot odds are ridiculous I've spent enough and have really nothing to show for it

Tours = great for most part, no complaints.

Fued perks = nerf was unnecessary.

Fued = with a busy schedule between work and family, I don't have the time for drawn out matches. Purpose of the wrestlers I built up were for turn 1/turn 2. I like to get in, take care of business and move on to next match.

Rewards = very lackluster.

Overall event was decent, but could've been better. When posting an blog, make sure it actually accurate, stop hiding behind the "subject to change " its an cop out for making mistakes. Listen to the players, they are the ones playing and spending money on your game. If you keep ignoring the players and their feedbacks, all you are doing is driving them away.

Feuds have always been my favorite part of the game but not much anymore. I also noticed inconsistencies at times when receiving my war score. Once I can remember in my opening match of a feud, my Becky defeated a 5sg Charlotte with 3+mil health, drained her of all of health and not counting the iow trainer, I got 140k that match. First time with plus 5sg win should've been 130k right there. Only 10k for the damage? There's definitely been a decrease anyways with the points that we are getting per win which makes it more work to get your 40 mil warscore and nothing better in rewards.

I finished top 120 and I may as well stopped at 25 mil. Leaderboard solo points rewards are nice, but don't mean much when next Milestone in 600k away. Feud was messy as it was, the perk change made it longer as well and not enjoyable.

Worst event is a very long time. Way to kill my favorite mode . Making the thought of retiring easier and easier every week

I get the reduced perks, it made the feud more challenging. What's the point in having a warscore event if you can max it in a few hours? Maxing the warscore event should be a challenge, but that challenge should be rewarded. I agree with other posters about rewards being more customised. The rewards this time were simply not worth the effort, and for the first time since they began I did not max the warscore event.

Too many changes made at once on this event I feel.

The tours were good, which probably means next time they will be significantly more difficult, but at least then we'll be moaning about that rather than the distinct step backwards in the rewards. If you're going to make an event harder to max, common sense would dictate that the rewards should not be significantly reduced at the same time. This has only served to bring excess criticism for a change that could have been for the better.

Recently the new characters are too unachievable without significant spending, which as many others have pointed out actually has the opposite effect and reduces what people are willing to spend.

A bit of an own goal really.

Another weekend that just wasn't very good.Rewards were lacking,fued event was boring.Tourneys were ok but the rewards in them need a serious upgrade.

Just echoing Mherex, 2bob29, and Dear You's thoughts.

This is only the 2nd feud in the last year where I didn't go for 40mil warscore. It wasn't worth my time and the grind was actually too grindy. The fact spenders could outright buy someone out of top 10 or whatever feels extremely horrible. The fact you can spend almost the full 20 hours feuding and lose your top 10 spot to someone who spent an hour feuding is such hot garbage.

The tours were good-ish. CSS requirements weren't ultra premium rare characters which was nice, but the feud as a whole was easily the worst we've had in over a year.

You say that you listen to the feedback we provide, but it seems nothing is done. The "Subject to Change" is pretty ridiculous if Scopely won't even send out a tweet or in game message that they're adjusting things in feud prior to it starting. I'm not saying that a message like that would fix everything magically, but the communication is just so bad.

Final words as it's been stated. If you aren't going to listen to the community you should at the very least listen to ALL of your content creators especially when they say something isn't worth it. They are your ambassadors for the game. Treat them as such if you aren't going to put forth any effort to change things for the better.

This was certainly a mixed bag of an event. Let’s start with the positives.

Tours - great, not hidden behind S tier paywalled superstars so hitting 18/20 solo event milestones was doable just from playing the tours.

Shayna - looks like a very solid character and not too game breaking.

and that’s all I’ve got for the positives.

negatives

Faction event - the rewards were absolutely horrible and I mean horrible. Why would any sane faction want to force their players into around 30k worth of Smackdown talent up for 5K strap parts and some other rng items?

warscore event - dreadful rewards for the time needed to earn them. If you’re expecting players to spend a portion of their day playing to hit 40m you need to put something enticing in there rather than a small amount of coins and an RNG strap which will be sold more than likely.

feud perks - now I was very sceptical about these at first glance and I can say as a hardcore feuder they could do with some small tweaks for the next MLC.

The sub perk needed addressing and rightly so as it was really overpowered.

The multiply gem x 2 could have been halved into x1 as this has severely hurt damage output on many characters who rely on multi gems and for those players who don’t have Matt Hardy this is a huge kick in the face for them.

+2 for a gem match perk was sorely missed and something I personally think needs adding back in. Even if you made it +1 it would be helpful. For a character like powerhouse Big E, his finisher is 18mp so getting that charged is taking numerous turns now making him effectively useless in all game modes other than tours.

the random +1 extra multiply gems benefits who exactly? Most of the newer superstars create areas or ALL gems into multiply. This basically benefits DX Shawn and that’s it. You’d be better off in having +1 on ALL special gems to cover all bases.

on the basis of feuds this is where it gets juicy. You claimed you changed feud perks for a more ‘balanced’ gaming experience. You then did a total u turn and sold ‘unbalanced’ warscore steps in the store. If that’s not contradicting then I don’t know what it. If you want a balanced feud then scrap warscore steps altogether. This means players who sunk resources and time into getting the feud promoters are rewarded via the intended warscore they bring. Every player in the game has access to getting the promoters whereas not every player can afford to buy max steps every feud.

i was honestly annoyed when I saw in game the steps were for sale after reading the blog the day before which said ‘no additional warscore steps’

there needs to be much better communication between the devs and the person who writes the blog as there’s almost always a mistake where you play the good ol ‘subject to change’ card.

feud activity was massively down overall. I missed 8 hours of it and still ranked in the top 40 of the warscore contest with zero money spent on steps.

I wish that there was more that I could add to the posts Mherex, ironsheik84 and 2bob29 (just to name a few) provided earlier within this thread.

Overall, this contest gets a grade of C+ for the weekend. Shayna Baszler as a new character is very impressive. The LT tours and solo contest were decent and doable for the most part.

The Warscore competition and faction contest milestones needs severe improvement in terms of the rewards in my opinion. More specifically, the resources. Leveling up one move for a 5SG character costs 1,000 TP. We need much larger denominations of TP (I suggest 250-500+) especially once you get past milestone 8.

Offer shards from recent chase characters from recent previous MLC events within the milestones as opposed to shards of common characters that players can already get quite easily from various sources (i.e. daily login shard chests, key pulls and League loot).

I would also like an increase of shards for the featured weekend contest superstar from the grab bags obtained from the tours. 10 shards per grab bag seems a tad bit low, especially when F2P players may not have all the the CSS needed for the tour bonuses.

The changing of the feud perks were okay in terms of shaking things up but then to nerf the submission damage and remove special gems bonuses resulted in longer brawls.

The feud steps bonus was a debacle to say the least. Blog reveal says no further feud steps bonus will be offered outside of the freebie available from the portal. Only to have the very same feud steps available for purchase from the faction shop once the feud event goes live is not a good look.

In all honesty, faction feuds used to be fun before feud perks became a thing. Now, even the line fill bonuses make little sense when slot requirements are factored in.

In closing I'd like to thank Scopely for providing a platform for the WWE Champions community to provide feedback / suggestions in order to improve the game for a more positive player experience.

Feedback for Shayna Female Fued Event

Positives

• Unfortunately this is going to be a short list as it's pretty evident this entire event was very poorly executed so I only have 2 positives to add: 1) The Tours were great with the CSS requirement and the level alloted to all the tours so they were easy to complete allowing you to get to Milestone 18/20 quite easily so long as you had Rowdy Ronda and Stephanie "Queen" and both have been fairly obtainable so I'm assuming most would have been able to reach milestone 18.
• I'm turning this one from a negative to a positive: Not needing to fued like a madman and losing sleep trying to reach 40m warscore. I read all the comments and decided to just aim for 10m and call it. It was also evident most of my faction mates and majority of the community decided not to pursue the 40m warscore given the poor rewards and no incentive to maximise.

Negatives

*Cracks Knuckles* Just kidding, you know what considering the amount of negative feedback already provided I don't think there's anything new I can add other than just repeating what majority have already stated.

So here's some suggestions for improvements instead:

• Fued perks should not have been heavily nerfed to the point of making it go from one end of the spectrum to the other. You could have atleast minimised the effect like instead of making color submission turns +3 at max, then reduce it to +1 but still keep 100%. Similarly do that for the rest like special gems, multi-gems etc.
• If you were going to nerf the perks so much then atleast make the line-up easier to fill and give out stronger bonuses so that you're not completely offsetting the gameplay but allow a balance somewhere.
• Honestly, if this change is to remain then I would highly suggest reducing the maximum warscore from 40m to 20m instead. Atleast that doesn't require us to grind out our weekend and still allow us to maximise warscore. I looked at the top 100 leaderboards 8 hours before the fued ended and can see the bottom of the scores were those in the 45m mark which shows there's been such a displeasure with trying to go for 40m warscore or if you still wanted to keep 40m warscore then you'd have to put up a reward worthy of a grind like a Titan Skill Plate or some other rare skill plate that's worthy to grind rather than some random chance at ultimate strap and skill plate,
• The Faction event has been for the first and in a very long time horrible! Barely any points given out and requiring us to find Smackdown superstars for us to use our resources on is such a waste. This meant not many of us were able to do our 1% and we fell short of the last Faction Milestone. This is such a crushing disappointment especially to those in our faction who've spent more than their fair share but the rest of us just means we're either forced to use our resources or not be able to help at all as there's nothing more we could do. Please improve this going forward.

I really enjoyed fued up until this weekend's where I couldn't hit the 40m warscore where previously it was actually fun to race and get to 40m. When you make it a chore then that's where it just feels disgusting and make us less interested. I started enjoying fued when Perks weren't nerfed and Fued Promoters were added to the game but it's like going backwards again... so please Scopely consider making changes at the next Flash Fued and don't make this a repeat.
