Ricky "The Eternal Dragon" Steamboat Trial and Flash Feud information

Can't even play match 2 of the trial tourney against Mankind.Whoever tests this game should be fired on the spot

Ricky the eternal dragon trail level 2, can't even play it. What's going on? Let's get it fixed asap please.

First off, I like it when all players are given a new character/superstar to try. Its a player friendly development process for both game developers and players.

As for zRicky, he seems to be following the new meta trend for powerful characters in not just blowing up the board but doing so by converting the board to his most powerful color gem, in this case purple. He seems really solid in that regard and I'm sure if you have the right equipment, straps /medals etc on him he could hit pretty hard. He would be a worthy chase for sure if that was a realistic possibility, unfortunately the way the loot boxs are set up and the "carnival" odds of obtaining him so ridiculously skewed that process is a waste of money and he will not be seen by many for 3-4 years when he will no longer be effective.

That said, that kin of highlights the trouble with the last two events, Bianca on the weekend and now this mid week showdown. For me, showdown is me least favorite of all three events. That's because you can spend hours and hours grinding and get absolute nothing in return. For a mid tier player, its the most frustrating event. Its better when there are point award for using certain characters but in thw last 2 events this was mostly for the super rare characters that most players don't have. Particularly this mid week, it was all special characters. Yes you could use z Dom and z Drew but how many people can grind them through the free trial characters with Ricky? I think that was a major oversight and blew the event for most people. Hopefully not the whole month long event in terms of accumulation of solo points if your going for the max and the free superstar.

While I understand and respect that this is a game designed to make money for Scopley, you have to treat your fans and players fairly too. It is a tedious balance of not giving too much to keep people wanting the rewards but you have to give to not have players quit or feeling like it not worth playing. Imo, the last 2 events flet more like the rewards were lacking and maybe only designed for the top factions players and content creators.

There was alot of hype and many people look forward to October for the zombies but so far I feel 2 of the 3 events were busts. Hopefully it gets better and there is a more inclusive thought process brought into the events. The idea if needing to restrict events and awards in thw hope that people will go buy loot coins is really dumb and only serves to push players out more quickly. Yes you make money up front but if you notice the reviews and what people say about thw game its all negative. Understand that the people who are going to spend are going to spend. But still make the game playable and open to play for all players. Its not just free players vs paid players either. You can spend hundreds per month and still not have those rare special characters and then what did your money get you?
