EST in Peace Showdown Scrimmage

The design on the new EST was great. The overall weekend event was good. The only suggestions I have is that the bonus points could have been spread out a little better. There are so many zombies and the only ones that really got bonus points where the ones that are the hardest to get. I would have been more engaged if there had been more characters, I actually had that i could have gotten bonus points for. The only other suggestion that i could ad is what if you worked some shards into the loot boxes in the tours. It wouldn't necessarily have to be shards for the new character but maybe a harder to get character from an earlier event. Basically, it would be nice if there was a way to grind out some of these posters rather than just always have to pay a lot for them. Thanks for listening and thanks for keeping the game alive (or undead this month)

The thing I appreciated the most was that this featured character was reasonably obtainable. Shards were actually pullable and the reward shards to shards needed ratio wasn't bad. Only downside for me was that the prizewall wasn't a very good one. Mostly because obtaining enough prizewall coins to get anything of greater value was near impossible without big spending. The better prizewalls have had decent loot or more coins available without spending a lot. I understand the coveted new item being harder to get but even the old plates were not obtainable without lots of money to purchase coins or pulls to get to the last milestone.

((If I am randomly selected for zBianca, please randomly select another person because I was able to obtain her.))

This event was pretty good overall. Like others mentioned not overly restrictive CSS requirements for tours. Kind of brutal if you happen to be someone who doesn't have almost any of the zombies, but I don't think I saw many complaints from faction mates and friends over the weekend regarding the requirements.

Probably the only real negatives I saw was the cost of the skillplates on the prizewall. Everything being costed the same including the new Blade plate seems like an error. The other prizes were also lackluster and priced high. I'm not saying make everything super cheap, but throw some TP or some straps I can sell for parts at the very least in addition to coin.

ZBianca seems like a great addition to those who managed to get her. The coach abilities will be interesting to use moving forward. They are also a welcomed alternative to those who don't have and can't get characters like HoF Lita, Sting, etc.

This event was good from a high level point of view. The scrimmage ones usually are, and although I don't have zBianca yet, I should down the road if she is in future scrimmage prizewalls.

The one negative, which many have mentioned, was the prizewall. I understand the high price on some skill plates, but maybe put some weaker, less available, plates in for a cheaper cost. TP was missing from this wall, so I'd like to see that come back next time.

Personal Results from the Event

• Unlocked zBianca with all but the final two solo milestones achieved and $60 spent
• Also unlocked Striker Bobby Lashley through solo milestones
• Inched closer on several zombies that are missing several hundred shards toward their unlock

Positives

• Showdown CSS requirements were paywalled, but fortunately it didn't require incredible amounts of spending to fill in the gaps.
• Tours had reasonable requirements, especially with affordable 5SS versions of zSasha available on the ruby market for some players
• Decent rewards for faction contest

Negatives

• Skill plates on prizewall remain heavily paywalled, even for older, more limited-use-case skill plates.
• Straps that were offered on the prizewall were underwhelming considering most of them were the equivalent of modern female straps in terms of requirements. Poor bonus pools. Cutting out the middle man and offering a straight up strap parts buy would be appreciated if these are the kinds of straps that will be available for the majority of players who couldn't get enough medallions to reach the skill plates.
• No TP on offer in the prizewall, too.

Overall

A middle-of-the-road event. The nuts and bolts were solid but the stuff around the edges was frustrating and underwhelming, from the showdown requirements to the prizewall.

in itself it's nice but why so many milestones and why in the tours only team points.
 The search for opponents is still difficult because you only get 25 fame yourself,
 but in the same time you are attacked twice and lose about 90 fame.
 The blance isn't really right.
 why is there not even pkt for free stars only cash stars as content.
 since the introduction of the 1400 ruhm pkt stamp it's almost impossible to get hold of cashstar.
 it would be nice if you could get 1 to 2 bonus ms without spending real money.
 precisely because of the price wall, most of the points are in the bonus ms,
 which you can't achieve without money, that is to say you can't get anything out of the price wall.

I really enjoy when a new character is available with a grind and some smallish spending.

I think the challenge nodes aren't bad.

Love the new character. Wish she had a different outfit from the striker but not bad.

Definitely need to give some prizewall currency in the faction contest. That last milestone is waaay to whaley at this point

Recruiting the character within 24hrs and spend 300 still short of the final milestone? Also maxxing both sd days. You gotta do better than that.

Other than that, tour was fine.

It seemed fun but sadly in the end ended up with less then 200 of the 1600 needed. In my opinion instead of having a crazy high locked in number maybe let players have a choice of going to the crazy high or maybe summon for less at lower amount then upgrade with the shards as we get them.

The event itself was nice

The character looks good and all .

The showdown es fine though all the bonuses Characters are rally hard to get, so maybe in the future events, try to increase the amount of shards as prize...

The wall of shards of the event was the worst part...

Literally can't get nothing besides gold

I think the event it self I didn’t notice any bugs, I think it went smoothly, I would just like every now and then for you to look after the gamers from different areas of the world especially on showdown events, so in the uk it starts at 8pm, so if I work nights as I do I’m at work for the main chunk of the event as you need to get a decent bonus from the sd coins you get as a reward the next morning.

having a different start time every once in a while would give other time zones a better chance other than the one time zone the game caters for currently.

the character seems strong though and looks like she will do a lot of damage

Not a bad event just didn’t have any of the zombie requirements for showdown. You could have put a few of the common/free to use to help the F2P players out some.

The good - Character looks good and strong, a decent amount of shards accrued so far.

The showdown itself I find a bit monotonous even with strong promoters it gets tiresome on the first evening (8pm UK start time)

The bad for me is the prizewall, I will hit the last milestone before the bonuses but I would still need to spend well over £1,000 to max the event. I was only missing 2 CSS and I currently have around 8k in currency. To get a plate you have to hit the last milestone which means spending gross amounts of money. But with only getting a tiny amount for the prizewall it makes me wonder if I'll even bother to play the event with the same setup.

Overall, it's a no from me.

Doing the event and not being able to use the shards medallions or being some what new and not competing for better bonuses made the event lack luster, maybe a stronger woman wrestler or more accessible characters to keep it fun for newer people. Same with Gauntlet Blitz
