Hart of a Legend Faction Feud

Even though I didn't have all required superstars to max the superstar contest, I like the concept. Also like that you could earn the steps from the tours and an obtainable solo contest milestone. No major changes to Feud-, faction- and solo milestone rewards.

All in all, I'll rate this contest at 7/10.

I liked the change to the contest superstars, giving them there own contest that was a grindable event that had good rewards. The war score competition could use some updating. Maybe some stretch goals that would keep the community more engaged during the feud, especially during the flash feuds weekend.

Also, I would like to see one of the new weekend characters have a grindable way to acquire the champ. That would have ZERO money requirement whatsoever.

How about make the characters actually easier to get

First of all the Ken Shamrock tour had a node that wouldn't work send a ticket in no real human ever got a hold of me it never worked for the whole week so I missed out on all the hell prizes. Feud is still broken soon as it matched you in a feud it would kick you back to the main screen and then drag and lose at least two to three minutes before you could even start and freezing the entire match for 5 to 10 seconds here and there.

Event was a change to the standard Feud but it seemed like more work for basically quite near the same rewards you'd get in a standard feud. Grind is all good if you have a whole Sunday to waste but even after that you'd find yourself nowhere near recruiting the new poster. That's a lot of time for half a poster.

Feud Battles take longer to complete as opposed to Showdown so the Showdown type contest in Feud was maybe a little too high of a target for many to reach.

Addition of Feud steps in tours and Portal was helpful.

Technically it was much better than last month so props for that. No issues with loading or getting stuck on Battle over screens. Ran very smoothly.

Use of Legend era superstars that may not be used in Feuds much made a change was a nice touch.

My god, it happened. A feud event I genuinely really liked.

• Changing tacts here and talking about the new portions of the event - namely, the superstar competition. The competition was a nice way of directing people towards using a certain subset of people (in this case, legends) for a feud without resorting to super restrictive lineup. I was lucky enough to have everyone but Macho King meaning that 100 Legends matches wasn't a super strenuous experience, but I do wonder how much more positive I'd be about the whole thing if I had to do 200 to finish things up, because the big issue was I felt it was pretty vital to finish this contest up in order to do well in the main contest (3 mill out of the ~8 mil possible) so locking that behind like 300 feud matches is not exactly my idea of a good time.
• There was also the new way of getting steps, and I think I like this over just not having them or paying out the nose for them - putting them deep (but not in the very end) of tours gave tours a bit of spice, and you still get the freebies to get the non-war score bonus. Surprisingly well executed.
• Speaking of tours, they are generally well executed this time, using the 'mostly solo contest point' flavor this weekend. The challenge tours are back to having interesting and reasonable requirements instead of 'the new character' or 'the character we released last week', which is refreshing.
• Rewards were really good for everything but chests and Neidhart shards, but honestly that's enough to make me pretty satisfied with an event. 6-star tokens, a meaningful amount of fodder shards, and even stuff like tier 5 medals all contributed to a good haul for a weekend, though the nature of the event meant that if you didn't max out the superstar contest you'd really get kneecapped across the board. In comparison, the war score contest really felt like it was made redundant here, and I can only hope it steps up in the coming weeks.
• A bit of a tiny, miscellaneous nitpick here (so nothing new from me) - why was HoF Bret a requirement for the middle row? I don't think HoF Bret is overly rare for the spot, not really my issue, but he isn't a Legend, didn't even get bonus points for the war score contest IIRC, and the fact that there were at least two other legends acrobats who would be fighting for the feud promoter and Bret's trainers meant that he was kinda redundant for the whole thing outside of generally being a good character and the Hart Foundation tie-in.

Hi,

For me this contest was fun. The best positive side was that you gave us the boost steps in different milestones. It boosted the Feud score and with this you can get high score. It was great that the required superstars was not those we can hardly get.

Keep on this and the game will be fun again.

It was a fun event. It had better rewards. I think 50-100 shards is more reasonable than 5-10

Good event. Finally a good anvil

Another riveting weekend, another bundle of thoughts, for sure. Let's start with the positive!!

- I personally think the concept of the superstar sub-event is great. Like, really, REALLY fanastic. For many people, the typical CSS setup in feud is never really worth it. You're better off just grinding your A-game rather than try and work in some people you maybe haven't leveled or something to that level. Furthur more, offering a SIZABLE grip of solo contest points just from grinding feud is GREAT. It's a really nice and fun idea, I hope to see it back on some level. Great job!

- I like the contiuation of transparency on the blog w/r/t points in the weekend events. Personally, I had a lot of frustrations with the game as of late, I've even thought about walking away. Thankfully, I have a great team with me who helped me to readjust and refocus my energy this month so I'm trying to have a goal-oriented approach. With the blog info and points from warscore, someone like myself is easily able to directly math out how much you would need to spend coupled with a warscore leaderboard target in order to max the event and get the Hogan strap. For something like that, again: thank you! It's great intel when the math lines up.

-Weekend tour requirements continue to be pretty agreeable and good. Always love that.

- Free steps. Need anyone say more? This is rad as heck and hope there are more potential setups like this in the future.

Now onto some points of criticism.

- The beginning tour nodes not paying out is very much not a good look. I was in voice chat with some teammates, and some people mention they think they're short of points. Considering I mathed out my entire weekend, I ran the numbers with what was left in tour, and I was indeed on pace to be short with my goal of a top 20 finish. I'll pair with something nice, and a huge shout out to Luna in support for ran a check and saw I was missing points and got them credited to me. But I think this happening is going to potentially innudate support in some bad ways. Hopefully this gets fixed.

- I think the timing of the faction event ending with the contest is a little wonky. Maybe I'm just biased because I'm in NA, but the feud marathon ended at 2pm. Inevitably, I had to get up at 7am Monday for work, as do....a lot of people, I think. So when something like the feud event ending at 2 or 3 am or whatever it's just rough. Sucks to sometimes feel like you have to be available at any given time/hour for something like this.

- I'll take every chance I can get to whine (ish) about reward structuring. Like I mentioned, my main goal this weekend was the Hogan strap. And I did get it (nice), but where did I end up in solo after getting over 2m points in feud rewards? 52nd. My Anvil shards? 1665. So by my math, I currently have to not only be one of the best feuders in the game every event, but also probably have to spend an additional $100+ to have a chance at a card? After awhile it just makes feud feel fruitless. That being said, I had my goal for the weekend and I got it, but if not for the end milestone being obtainable and good, why would I push myself for dang near 24 hours? It's the same deal as the Dragon event, which was where some of my resentment started. 4th in feud. 1800 shards. I bit the bullet and eventually shelled out an additional $200 for the shards. But I don't want that to be a norm on any level. It just feels like nowadays you still be one of the best players in the game and just be constantly beat by the almight dollar and it's very demoralizing. 

All in all, I honestly think it was a solid event. Realistically, I think I could have maxed solo completely free had I know I would have finished top 10, it is what it is. But that's a great step in a positive direction! Sucks I couldn't secure the card because of my own wallet but such is life. Hopefully some of the new, good things come back in some capacity because I think they could make feud weekends something much more fun to look forward to. Overall, 8/10? Yeah, that seems about right.

xoxo,

Dear You

• Superstar Contest

I loved this addition! It was great to have a reason to play the game after hitting 40m warscore and I played far more faction feud this weekend than I have done for months. The rewards were quite good and gave players an opportunity to make progress in the solo event by actually playing.

• Warscore Steps

The opportunity to earn the steps was awesome. I was a little worried that the steps would be locked behind very rare CSS or behind a paywalled milestone, but I was pleasantly surprised by how attainable it was by playing the event.

• Takedown 2 Medals

I was excited to see these medals come into the game but this was a flop. With the only options for the move damage slot being 'All color moves', there is no situation where a Takedown 2 set is better than a regular Takedown set with a specific color. I'm not sure if this was deliberate or an oversight but I was really disappointed.

• Offers

I thought some of the packs this weekend were really interesting and there was some good value to be found. Some of the guaranteed shard/poster offers were good, particularly if people needed loot pulls to reach certain milestones. The loot was again very bad, so I'm sure people are generally only buying pulls to progress in events at this point.

• Solo Contest

Overall I was satisfied with the progress I could make in this event by playing tours and progressing in the warscore and superstar contests. One gripe was the massive gap between the final and 2nd to last milestone. When I calculated the potential leaderboard points I was on course to earn and the loot coin cost of hitting the last milestone, I realized there was no reason to continue playing for a specific leaderboard rank. An additional milestone in between might have pushed me to keep playing and/or spend.

This event was a massive improvement on recent feud events. I was a long long way off recruiting Anvil which is a shame, so I'd really like to see more shard availability of feud characters from previous feud events to incentivize collecting as many shards as possible during these events. I'd be more inclined to chase shards if I felt that I had a realistic shot at more shards over the next 2/3 months.

Feud Set Up

• Requirements were fantastic. (I could fill bottom 2 lines) I don't feel any of the characters were in what I consider the extremely rare category. I'm sure some view them as too P2W but they likely view everything as P2W
• Speaking of P2W ... I LOVE what you did with feud steps. Having them be earnable was fantastic and I would love to see this adopted for future feuds.
• First time wins 150K lets keep this as well. First time wins having large point values just encourages players to utilize their rosters more which is always more positive.

Solo Contest/Feud Contest

• Hogan Affiliation strap was not a great carrot on the end of the stick for me personally. But I am not one that will spend to max the events anyway.
• Using the 4x affiliation strap in a feud designed like this one with scoring as accessible as this one. Adding on a 60 million Individual Feud Score Milestone with Feud Promoter Straps would be a great additional chase.
• I also really like how the CSS portion was separate from the Warscore Event. Only difference from me that I would like to see is the Era Matches be worth a bit more. 20-25K would be more motivating for me. Bringing 100 down to 50/40 would encourage me and more players to chase those milestones and feud that much more.

Faction Contests and LTTs all pretty much standard at this point. I think they are in a good spot and don't have any additional feedback on them.

This event felt different, I appreciate the bonus for having large rosters for old timers and not just rewards high spenders , it felt easier to advance than other events that felt impossible but still this game has become for real money spenders , and I have spend too much already and still don’t feel appreciated by scopely or rewarded with justice , every special bag or real money loot I enter i normally get common shards and low rewards , I guess new players are getting amazing things with the free players and 10,000 shards that once were impossible to get easy .

i suggest very special gifts for anniversaries on the game , daily consistent players and not just for millionaires spending money .
