    First this boss good for challenge

    but bad thing you need rocker with drip or strong Ko to finish him very fast but for free to play I don’t know what best option

    I like this type of challenge

    there lag and freeze in game sometime

    but in general it’s good challenge boss for me

  • Very good challenger. Not having rocker Shawn and KO powerhouse sucks for me.


    But boss battle is becoming my favorite in this game. Just feels like for FTP players we can't do to many levels of the boss battles.


    Game still crashes and freezes to much.


    But it will get worked out y'all are the best at what you do keep up the great work

    Good things, this stuff of boss battle was a AND still beign a good implementation on the game gives new way to playa, AND have to think in composition and Gameplay which Is good.


    But It has also bad parts, i understand that players that spend money must have some kind of adventage, But Is insane you must have Shawn rocker or KO ph, just yo think in beat him un high levels, which Is some kind of frustrating.

    Just have to say keep working doing grear job trying to bring us new stuff...

  • Faction boss is shit…this event is two time shit

  • Mid week boss battle with this restricted roster requirement is a complete joke!!! You have a few guys having to carry the whole faction during work days?!?! Wake up scopley!!!!

    Thanks for making content for 5% of the player base. Super fun event, at least there isn't a faction component so I only had to let myself down by not participating. Do better Scopely, lord knows you make enough money off this game.

    • VERY VERY restricted Boss Battle catering to heavy spenders. If you look at the Faction that completed these, you can easily tell. Simply due to the fact that in order to quickly beat the boss down you need all those paywalled Plates to get the job done.
    • To have a shield itself was painful enough but now to throw heal in together and make Neutraliser useless below Level 8 didn't seem like that was called for.
    • Being a mid-week event it could have been fine tuned to allow more players to get through the event without having to grind ourselves to the ground especially when many of us are working.
    • Due to this, a lot of us are probably not going to be happy not getting the 3rd week medallion to acquire HOF Nash. Considering last week you would have gotten a good amount of players to spend so they can acquire the medallion for their entire faction.
  • this midweek faction boss has been really difficult and also really disappointing for a lot of players.total disappointment!!!

  • This faction boss battle has been difficult to compete against as the shield gets applied which is understandable but the amount of the shield should be lowered to have a chance. It seems that the time of the battle is going a little faster then past faction battles. Please take in to thought for next event.

  • the events are getting worse and worse...all of the events have been geared toward players that have very rare character and skill plates that your regular player cannot get...you are pushimg away players because we can't compete with the ridiculous requirements...i spend a decent amount of money on the game, not nearly as much as some, but even spending a couple hundred dollars a month isnt even enough to keep up anymore...you need to slow things way down or you are going to lose a lot of players...this event has made me decide to STOP spending, because everything i am spending is a waste because i still cant meet the very high requirements to remain competitive. I cant justify putting mo ey i to a game for absolutely NOTHING in return.

    I was unable to complete a single match on day 1 despite hours of trying.

    • Multiple connection errors and games that would not start, even in my own region. There were times where my entire faction was unable to play, so this was not just me.
    • There were games where I made a very clear 3-match and the game said "no match". I was unable to progress for an entire turn. By the end of my turn, the board was completely frozen with a 3-match made and nothing happened. On my next turn, the board reset and I was able to play, but by then it was far too late.

    It's such a shame. Boss battle should be really cool, but the restrictions are always terrible for at least one of the 4 classes, and the servers never work correctly.

    For free to play players this boss is very tough to beat, i like the challenge but I think points should be given for participation however not if you quit midmatch, connection issues are still live and annoying, still a great game mode just need some of the bugs ironing out.

  • Every time shield needs black gems breaks not one registers for me. And yes the quit penalty is terrible. 9999999 for revive seriously I am not Scrooge McDuck.

  • This event is great for top ten factions. Maybe you should add a tier for them as I’m in a top 50 and we have no chance. I almost did not even open the game today for being so mad at this event. I’ve played over five years and have 3.1 roster and have no resources, to top cards to complete these events, no top cards to complete events requirements like these HOFers. I have Eddie. I will not get Nash and I will not get the tokens to revoke xpac either.

    IMHO this is getting worse with every instance... at least for us f2p, only way you can help is with very high (lvl10) boss breakers and I buy them daily and do not have a single lvl10 yet...

    The great problem is the stacking of boss abilties, for instance this one: he fills the whole board with heal gems (which do not count towards shield break count), adds a shield, heals himself AND increases dmg with every heal gem on the board.

    Neutralize not working sometimes, freeze/lag, beind disconnect despite internet working fine all the time (Scopely server severing the connection prolly by not being able to handle the traffic spike)

    It went from the best game mode to worse and most frustrating, even worse than mid week SD now...

    My suggestion would be to NOT stack boss abilities, either raise shield or fill the board with heal gems AND get bonus dmg from em (meaning in that turn you should strive for board clearing) or heal... like 1 of these things on a turn then cycling, but stacking em makes it impossible for us planktons.

    Cant even beat lvl12 without being carried...

    I could give better feedback if I knew what you were trying to accomplish with this event. Because no matter what I can come up with as your intention, this boss was a total disaster.

    The boss was completely unplayable without an exact combination of costly superstars and plates. A challenging boss is a good idea. A boss that renders 99% of superstar/strap/plate combinations useless is a bad idea.

    Having the boss produce heals was a cool concept but to combine it with a shield like this was just silliness. Probably could have been discovered during testing.

    Still a ton of disconnections at the beginning of the boss battle. It seems to be better in the second day but I also assume most players have given up by now.

  • Bosses continue to to too strong. Connection issues continue to be an issue.


    Be better.

    1st thing I dislike about Faction Boss is the needed 4 faction mates or at least 3 to start the battle, if you go with just 3 you really hurt yourself in trying to fight bass level 8 or higher. This reminds me like the old Fued 5 v5 system - I waste so much time waiting and staring at my phone hoping faction mates join just so I can play....... SICK OF IT. I"m in a top 85 faction.

    Even if i try global lobby, I'm waiting for 10 minutes....Half of the idiots in these lobbies don't READY UP...what are they doing.....???? Of is the global lobby matchmaking that spins saying matchmaking for that 4th spot that never happens???

    2nd: Highest boss I ever beet is lvl 13 - I have 3 6stars and 15 5SG rosters, I don't have all these special pay to get characters that tend to be the 'BEST'. I barely even try to do lvl 10 becuase it's near impossible and a waste of time, when it's an endless cycle of the boss sheild or boss healing and you can never make a dent, I force close the game.

    I think SCOPLEY needs to lower the 4 members for a BOSS BATTLE or Give options to do 2 member boss battles. Think about it, when a faction only has 100 members and they are spread out across the globe a good portion of people will be in different time zones in able to play when you are. So I'm in the US east coast, maybe 2/3 of my faction is in the US probably half of that might be in the east coast.. So I'm hoping 30 people want to play at the same time and same level I do......WTF???????

    That's the real problem when SCOPLEY tries these types of game modes of needing 4+ members to play. I"m sure that's why Fueds have been at 2 members (not 5 v 5) becuase of the wast of time trying to fill that many spots to play the game.

    Also - I watied 15 minutest in different Global lobbies that would only show me and 2 others and the 2nd person would never READY UP, the 4 spot just keep saying MATCH MAKING....and it never found a 4th match. So either no one is playing this game mode, or your match making has serious issues, I wated to much time and refuse to play it or care about it.

    Consider lowering the member requirements.

  • JasonJa
    JasonJa Member ✭✭✭

    Yes agree, I had a match like that. THe match started and It only showed me, no other factionmates, I couldn't move or swipe anything.....timer just ticked down, then when the boss did his thing, i was able to particate and make matches , but by then it was far to late.

    Connection issues continue to be a big issue. I joined 1 match with my Cena, however the match started and had my Shemaus with the CENA health number, I could swipe gems, but none of the moves could be used and I never saw any of my faction mates.

    Connection issues also random during a match that takes 20-30 seconds away from me and that is a match killer.

    By the way my internet speed is 800 Mbps, so it's not an issue on my end.

    Very time consuming game. If you.dont have the right characters then it's pointless.




    Puts alot of pressure of the fraction members with the ability to get everyone else

    up.

  • We’ve enjoyed most of the recent Boss events. This one was terrible. Terrible.

  • wairror

    First of all , bad timing for weekday doing boss events, should move to weekend when most players have free time to play , most of us busy at work or other stuff during the weekday and we can't online the same time. Iquickly lost interest playing this boss battle after a few hours and give up already, let hope next one will be better make it more playable

  • HmHanif

    Need to think about f2p players also.there are so many of them not getting nothing much for the improvement.you need to balanced the game between p2p and f2p players. I m not talking about give them all...but ahead of the time you must think about your f2p players like giving more double fury and skill plate for the f2p players and chase character need to be free to collect beacause in a whole month f2p players get a chance of getting s tier character but now a days without spending its impossible to get s tier player...so overall i think you guys need to balance the game

  • Noneedto

    Is this boss for free to play guys? Definitely no.

    Is this boss for pay to win guys? Well, only for 10% of them. You know, Shawn is pretty rare, even for spenders!


    For who you did this boss? I don’t know…

    Boss battle gameplay needs to be smoother. Too many glitches and lag.

    more points for events all around.

  • patcooper

    tons of connection issues some matches i cant swipe or anything and the 2 characters are moving in place onscreen. also noticed in the final 10 seconds i get robbed of a move and even gem placement.

    90% of the playerbase cant get past level 9or10 which is really bad . I've been playing for 6 years and these recent contests have really made me want to quit this game

  • Cutting and Strutting Boss


    I did not enjoy this event and its hard to find positive to build off. 3 events in a row now that I have not enjoyed because of the the steep restrictions.

    Last two boss battles have been way to hard. As mentioned above oy 5%, or less of the community can win. Losing and not being able to compete is not fun. 2 boss battles in a row that most players can't participate hurts the morale and desire to play.


    For me, I need to be able to compete and feel like my time, effort and money us getting me something. The bouns characters were too restrictive for this and the previous 2 events. A better balance would be no more then 30% hard to come by bouns characters.

    The rewards dident matter because the bb event was to hard.

    If 95% of the community can't participate only 5% is growing and having fun. This is bad management in my opinion. Its hurts the morale in the community and leads to players quiting and factions folding. You need to be more balanced and inclusive in your event planning. Whoever is planning these events is not doing a good job and should be removed. More damage then good. And please don't say yoir trying to make it competitive, 5% participate is not competitive, sadly i think there is confusion about the word. Competitive does not mean expensive, to buy more. I spend 100's per month and can't compete in this type of event. 3 in a row that have been bad. I won't waste much more waiting for you to get it right.

  • OK... feedback.

    This boss battle was ridiculous. Extremely limited to who was good and who could be used.

    The milestones were unreachable for most. Heck take my faction, we are currently ranked 12th and yet NONE of us have been able to even come CLOSE to the milestone for the HOF medallion.

    A lot of connectivity issues as always, never seem to fix them. you'd think a company that gets as much money as Scopely does daily would be able to heavily invest in super servers to fix the connectivity bugs.

    Level 17 was just as hard as lv 20, yet level 16 was doable if you had the proper characters like Rocker Shawn (paywalled character) with a tiara or drip plate (paywalled plates) and Fury 2 medals (very hard to come by)... oh and you needed him 6 star and you needed 2 of them minimum for lv 16... Oh look, lets add the CSS characters to lv 17, but make level 17 the same difficulty as lv 20...

    I understand you are trying to make it as challenging as possible for factions in the top 5. However you are drastically overlooking the factions and players below them, and for a faction that is in 12th spot on the leader board to have NO ONE max out the event should be extremely telling. You are making it not challenging, not difficult, but downright IMPOSSIBLE for the smaller factions.

  • You want the truth this Faction Boss was awful all you guys seem to do is make this game worse. If you don't want your players to enjoy the game keep it up, because your doing a bang up job.

    Who ever is in charge of your algorithm for it is terrible it freezes all the time.

    I tried buying something from the store too and that froze too. You guys took my money though and I received nothing after restarting the game.

    I contacted help already and waiting for a response, so now I'm going to embarrass you guys.

    You care nothing about your clients. If I hadn't invested so much in this game for 5 years, I'd walk.

    If you don't want to work on this game anymore tell everyone, otherwise get your act together and start listening....let me say that again.....START LISTENING!!!!!!!
