    This weekend's event did not seem doable for players like myself. I say that as someone who has been playing daily for years and does spend a little money here or there. I barely had any of the required characters for the tours despite being a loyal player, was only able to beat the boss on level 15 this time due to the constant shield and constant glitching. My faction only got to milestone 4 of 10, i only got to 11 of 20, and only had enough to buy one thing on the prize wall, which ended up being worthless.

    I don't expect to max every milestone, but when someone like myself who plays all the time and has a decent roster only gets to milestone 11, then the event sucked. I gave up playing it yesterday except for the tour because it was pointless. Gave myself time for a nice Sunday nap, so I guess that's the one positive takeaway.

    I really like the inclusion of Christmas sweaters as extra gear in the game and that you have made it an ongoing resource.


    Boss Breaker is actually my favorite feature of the game. The community would benefit from more information about how to work together and achieve success as a faction. Many of our Faction members don’t understand the strategy required for success.


    The offers in the Shop have been very generous and better than most other months. I really appreciate that 5 Star Fuses are so affordable.

    I found this boss's battle to be one of the least enjoyable. Boss just feels overpowered. Meanwhile still none of the biggest problems with this mode have been touched at all. Move effects don't fire. The gem counter is not accurate on the shield. Connection is unstable at best. The 1-20 scaling is horrible compared to the older 1-10.

    You're constantly building these to heavily favor a single character but then structure the event points to require using a range of others. Theres little replayability.

    Its just not fun. It used to be.

    Contest...whatever. I played the tours and got what I could. No excitement. It was what it was.

    Prize wall is still a joke. Nothing of much value unless you're willing to spend money on the prizewall coins. And I'm stuck with 1500 I can't do anything with.

    I do want to applaude not feeling compelled to introduce a new character. The quality of the new characters are so diluted. Way too many of the same few people. Bring out more uniques or just take a few weeks off, its ok. Yes...feedback once upon a time was there wasn't enough new characters and that was true 4 years ago. You went way overboard. Pull back. Let us earn what's out there and get everyone thats blacklisted available again no matter how you have to do it.

  • Extremely poor Faction event..Very hard to Max..Only way to get points was to get 5ss to 5sg..Hardly 25 factions cud Max it..Plus Boss battle was extremely difficult above 15 level..Improve things so that everyone get fair chance to play and compete..

    The faction event really wasn’t that great as the only way to get points was to take 5 ss to 5 sg this was basically another talent up .Boss battle wasn’t great either putting up a shield every turn took the fun out of it and the guys needed had to beat the boss on level 17 which was a lot harder than before

  • Honestly, nothing to like about the event. Needed to complete Lvl 17 with specific characters where before most were at Lvl 10 to get the individual bonus. On top of that, to beat Lvl 17 more often than not required that everyone had a 6 star character which most don’t have. So either start making it easier to get 6 star tokens or never do something like that again.

  • Not a fan of this specific contest that was issued. The same 5-10 faction member who do spend have to use all their time and effort to carry those who don’t have the dominant character required for the contest. If that is the way you want to do these boss battles, fine. But you need to give us the chance to level up the needed character at the beginning of the week.

  • The only way to score a decent number of points for my faction in the faction contest was to evolve 5star silvers into 5star golds. That takes a good chunk of resources. This was not cool

    I want to say as the only person in this whole game to play bischoff I feel slanted that you made him crazy paywalled, 1300usd for his gear really?. I have never been so upset about this game since its release but knowing I will never get the bischoff gear that only I would of liked is very depressing.


    Other then that I would say its a very good event, the boss was beaten easy with a FTP card what's imo really nice since many factions could of maxed the event (big thumbs up), the gears was nicely priced (apart from no bischoff swetter there what was disgusting), and being in the top 10 in factions event secured at least a hogan or bianca gear so all round I will say the prizes and rewards was worth it.


    Big thumbs up for the tours they was all quite easy to finish with characters who was not super rare, I found the tours this event very easy to finish. (Lol 6SB Bischoff)


    Just a shame the only Bischoff player in the whole server could not get his gear and spent the weekend upset. But them's the breaks.


    Overall I would give the event a solid 7. Would be a 9/10 if the bischoff gear was at least viable to get without me ruining my family's christmas and making them get coal for me getting my gear.


    PS: if I somehow win can I trade the edge gear for Bischoff now that would be a christmas miracle I would believe in.

    Merry X mas!

  • Faction boss as been on a miserable power creep lately, you only get to do anything beyond 10-12 if you have specific superstars when a lot of players still don't have one, and it feels like none of the common bugs in the event have been addressed

  • I thought the event was ok, I was able to get 1000 shards to recruit Great Khali and got the Scott Hall sweater so that made me happy. Boss Battle was a little rough and I didn’t like how we need Randy Orton for the first tour. Felt like that should have another nWo member instead. Other then that I was very happy with this event

  • The contest itself is fine but please stop forcing this mode on us that is clearly unplayable. When the damage you say should work does not, (Silence gem bonus damage wasn’t working properly for many hours into the event) you should be extending the timer instead of just screwing over everyone who started early. 

    I know you’re a big tech company so I shouldn’t have to explain beta testing , but it’s very clear that no one from your team actually played through the mode before launch. A mode that glitches out more often then succeeds should never be launched. 

    Many issues include 

    -Connection issues throughout every single match, both while loading and during the match 

    -Constant lobby freezing pre match 

    -Doubling up the 5 minute time out 

    -Boss breakers not working when you press the button

    -Don’t get first move until 5-10 seconds into the 60 second clock 

    -Cuts off gem placement when the timer is up even though it says someone else is finishing a move 

    -Many people not receiving correct points for bonuses 

    All of these issues made it near impossible to complete

    There is absolutely no reason an event should run like this. The game is a cash cow and there’s no excuse for it. End to end this is hands down the worst event you have every put out. No wonder people are quitting the game.

    This event seems to be the most fair and fun in a long time.

    i truly wish there were more options to earn prizes by game play and not just by spending more and more $.

    But, the value to purchase 5-Star wrestlers for under $10 is a very good value.

    you need to make boss neutral buy all, i struggled to even do level 13 with 5sg ppl and no not every one has 6s top gear and plates. should be a gradual build up and rewards should be more then just 1000 faction points, add some coin or tp. This month i guess hard to come by. Maybe make boss league based, higher league higher difficulty. Whens this hard i feel the replay value very low and not as fun, or even give us rewards regards less for losing , nothing worse then spending 20mins to beat a boss then get nothing, then when you do win you give us 1000 faction points lol

    Sweater Contest: Same as any other contest really, mid-level prizes achievable but any further requires a money spend or one of the mega rare S tier guys at at least 5* gold to get near to anything better.

    Boss Battles: I have a 3m+ roster and still struggled to get good players for it. The idea of lowering the gems needed to break was good renewing them each go, but added the extra MP needed for moves and freezing some as well made anything over level 12 near impossible, unless you had a 6* guy from a select collection of S tier guys from the last 6 months.

    The timer errors and disconnects make the boss battles a real pain. Xbox and PS can get 30-40 people playing more complex games altogether seamlessly, the game struggles to keep up with a bit of gem matching between 4 people.

    Please bring back the ability to global match as well as just faction matching.

  • Sweterki wpadają ale nieda się nazbierać na odebranie nagrody brakuje mi 5 tysięcy i niedostaje olejnych za pokonanie bosòw po zatym konkurs fajny i ciekawy

  • I'm not complaining at all!

    This event took all the fun out of the game. I understand trying to make the game challenging but the shield every turn was a bit much, the drastic prizewall costs and limitations are annoying, either you are in a top ten faction that can max or you basically get nothing. The game has become nothing but a spend to compete waste of time. I’m ready to quit the game, none of the events are even fun anymore

  • I understand that it should be a grind to get to the higher milestones, but man those Boss Battles are just a bit too much at times. There aren’t many characters on the F2P end that can succeed in the higher levels of boss battles

  • it was great play everyday

    Ok, unfortunately I think boss battle is losing its lustre. There were some good things here as always but there was a lot of not good too.

    The good:

    The gear. Always helpful to have new gear. It would be nice if more gear were released to bring some “classic” characters back into meta.

    Tours. Fine with decent rewards and prizes.

    Boss battle: is a fine idea. Working cooperatively is good and was a lot of fun. Past tense.

    Better if:

    Faction contest. With no faction points in milestones. Or points for it in the solo contest. In fact it was a talent up. Yes, we would get some points from actual boss fights but considering the number of factions in the game, how many actually achieved this? Very few overall. It was too difficult ‘just’ on talent up.

    Boss: This is becoming “either you have the perfect character or you’re finished.” Don’t get me wrong, challenge at the higher levels sure. But there was almost no point trying anything over level 15.

    Solo contest: again it was OK but the individual points for bonus characters set at level 17? No motivating or interesting and relied on your teammates good will. What was the point? Tech Roman? A botch guy? In a silence gem battle? C’mon. It’s like it was planned by an infant.

    Prize wall. Wasn’t great again and I’m left with 3K currency I can’t spend because everything is set high and there are no low spend options. You need low cost stuff (even coins/TP) on these prize walls.

    loot: just not interesting with the rubbish odds. I’ll wait for new year zombies or something.

  • It is difficult to get the milestone for the 16000 in the first 24 hours. Maybe I am missing something here. Love the free sweaters and hoping in getting more to my collection.

  • Overall the contest was pretty good, the only issue I had was the faction boss milestones were very restrictive with the superstars required.

    this time i have to say on how poor it was the faction boss contest….the only way you could gain points were by doing 5ss to 5sg evolves... that's insane

    These medallion prize walls are garbage. Literally to get the Becky sweater it would of cost $1,500 to get. Think of that $1,500 to make a current card a little better. Every weeks medallion wall is this way. Over the last couple months I’ve gone from around $500 a week to $60 and nothing has changed. I still don’t get the new characters I still don’t get past milestone 15 but actually something has changed literally have taken the money I was spending and upgraded my wardrobe I’ve bought 9 pairs of sneakers , 6 hoodies , 3 pairs of pants and 16 shirts. I’m going to continue to not spend anymore like I said my in game stats are pretty much the same no reason to spend cause even when you do you don’t get anything for it anyway.

    I know this says good and bad feedback but I don’t think I have any good feedback for this one. The sweaters that are decent literally cost minimum of $750 to get. Becky’s cost $1,500 literally $1,500 think about that. Your so called Christmas event where everyone is supposed to get all this great stuff as mentioned on all your social media pages has given us absolutely nothing but FREE cards we’ve had for months and in some cases years. You make a big deal about how edges SWEATER is only 16k medallions for the first 24 hours when we can’t hit the amount of medallions needed cause that many aren’t available in the first 24 hours. I’ve gone from spending around 500 a week to around 60 a week in the last few months and NOTHING has changed. I still don’t get the new characters every week I still don’t get past milestones 15 , I still get the same amount of new stuff I was getting. I did however upgrade my wardrobe big time since I stopped spending money on this game. I’m going to continue with a budget of 60 a week because like I said NOTHING has changed.

    Hello...


    I feel like players need a better opportunity to be able to upgrade their characters without having to spend hundreds of dollars a month, which brings me back to players not having the key characters at the right rarity for this event. I know some people that have been playing since the start that very rarely spend that do not have a single 6* character due to a lack of resources. Just a thought, maybe the top free milestone gets a little more than it has been getting ion the past. Average coin spend to max a 6* is around 150 mil. 10-25 mil coin barely does anything for the players anymore.


    All in all a pretty good event aside from the time miscommunication on the blog, yes I know subject to change right. Faction Boss has come a long way since it came out and i feel like this could be the best gameplay mode with a bit more stabilization.

  • worst event ever......need to improve and easier boss battle....and getting free medalions easier......free to play players cannot play that kind of event....
