WEEKLONG ROTTEN REVENGE

While i'm a fan on weeklong events, this one has been a miss for just one sole reason: the showdown grind. We have daily tours for the rotten event, we have the regular mlc tours and the showdown component right now is a little too much and shouldn't demand this much time during the week when many players have to work, go to school, take care of the house and family.

You basically have 20+ matches before the SD coin resets, since you start at 200 notoriety and have to climb to 899+ to max your daily coins, and another set of 20 matches after reset assuming you stay in the 899+ range. It's too much for the week when there are other components involved. Fine if it was only Showdown. Bad when there's more involved.

Everything else has been good, but the amount of time required on showdown matches makes it less attractive and makes me less inclined to continue to play this event since all the time invested will be gone once a new showdown tournament begins and sends me back to the 200 tier.

First I love that Scopely is experimenting with new ideas.

• Wish we had MM and FF and not just alternating between MF and FM. I assume its to avoid some powerful links like the Nia and Baszler Link or Alpha Academy Link. Let us enjoy them!
• Not a HUGE fan of SD so the massive amount of SD this week is a bit of a turnoff personally. Also ways to gamify like throwing Defensive Wins to faction mates.
• Tour Bonus Characters - I see as fair to both spenders and nonspenders IMO.
• Again a lot going on this week. - First half of the week we had Blitz wrap up, SD to get to max level and max it, SD the next morning, Daily MLC tours, Rinse Repeat.
• Faction event - would have maybe liked to see some more options for advancement. Realistically the best way is 6SB leveling and outside of the very top factions this are still very much a luxury item. Probably too specific for current point methods available, but something like Evolve Zombies which would tieback into the monthly theme being worth a higher point value.

I thought the pick the skill plate you can earn for "free" was just that. We would earn it for free. But I haven't done the math, but I know what I can and can't accomplish. There's no way based on my roster that I can earn the foley plate for free. 20k x 33 pts x 4 days for SD coins = 2.6 mil + bonus points = 20x5k x 4 days = 400k for zombies (the other points are premium as they would require paid characters so not free!) there's no way to get to 6 mil.

The showdown flipping back and forth is nice. But the fact that you lose all your work as it resets the next day was disheartening. I got tired after the first 2 days. Life is busy during the week, there just wasnt' enough time to do 25+ SD matches, the special tour, the blitz and the monthly tour matches (heck I haven't touched the road tour in months - and I have a lot of incompleted matches that I should probably do - I recognize others have more time, but give us a chance).

Like those above, the faction event was nice. -but I don't see how we'll come even close to the final milestone and our faction is in the top 70. I suspect many used their fuses during the flash feuds the week before. I see that the usual crews maxed it on the first day.. but the over representation of points for 6s evos makes it impossible for the rest of us to accomplish. There is already an issue with getting resources for 6* that it didn't need to be reinforced.

Its been an entertaining event, but the advertisement of free rewards was very misleading.

I'm assuming stuff like this is at least in part in response to people noting there wasn't enough to do in game at certain times. This is too far in the other direction.

For me specifically it's the need to hit the 10k twice each day is what puts it over the top in terms of what needs to be done. I think if you take that out it becomes more manageable.

Now I do have a major beef with having the community vote on this "free" skill plate and then putting it this deep into an event. That was scummy and whoever came up with it ought to be ashamed.

The blog also mentioned a quantity of "free" 6 star tokens but the characters you would need to own at extremely high levels in order to obtain these "free" tokens makes it an abuse of the word "free".

I like the effort of trying new things. But the carney tricks needs to stop.
