STRUTTIN’ & CUTTIN’ – MIDWEEK FACTION BOSS

i will start off with this: BOSS BATTLES ARE THE MOST BORING AND UNCREATIVE MODE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THIS GAME!

Im sorry but the developer or developers who created this should be shot out of a cannon into the Mariana Trench with concrete shoes on

The mode is so annoying: Bosses with way too much HP, you need to swipe to break gems and gems created and broken by moves don’t count, heals are insanely overpowered, and you don’t get anything for trying and failing

And to those who want to reply and say “Just get good”, I say take a long walk off a short cliff. The game shouldn’t feel like a second or third job

There's been much discussion in recent weeks about faction boss from a balance and logistical perspective.

The honest truth is that if the mode continues to have frequent connection errors/lag spikes, few changes can make a real difference.

But game development, and building a framework to provide live co-op multiplayer, is no easy feat. So I'm presenting suggestions that can lessen the pain for players if the game mode is going to continue to be a buggy mess:

• Vote To Forfeit: A system where players in a lobby can vote to surrender the match without the team members incurring a five-minute deserter penalty. To avoid global lobby trolling, the forfeit votes need to be unanimous. Ultimately, most bosses lately have either been turn 1 or done, or at the very least become much more annoying after they get a chance to take a move. Sometimes we want to wave the white flag but have to sit through a whole round before the boss can land the killing blow because we don't want to get hit with a five-minute penalty. I can't express how annoying that is for good-faith players that are just trying to beat the boss.
• "Win a boss battle on AT LEAST Level XX": This week's system requiring level 17 grinds to earn unlimited points was smart in the sense that many contest superstars required level 17 clears - this created a system where players grinding level 17 clears were also able to help non-grinders get their CSS points for their individual contests. Great! But why make the level 20 clears that players completed worthless as a result? If you make the CSS condition to be a match won at "at least" a certain level, while moving the "grind task" back to level 20, players can complete their solo objectives while still being rewarded for contributing to the ultimate faction goal of 100 players earning 400 "skulls" - why should it matter if three teammates carried my 4SG HOF Rude through a level 20 instead of a level 12?

I will list my impressions about these events:

1) The boss is overly specific. Although it has a lot of new features. To defeat him to a decent level of the event. (And I mean the level that is considered "free"). You need to have at least 6 stars of donation characters with donation plates.

2)loot boxes give very bad rewards. They can even be compared to free MLC rewards.(It was a bad idea to donate to this)

3)A huge number of bugs associated with both the boss itself and the connection of players. A little less than before, but still a lot.

I can sum up. Very slow technical progress, weak rewards until penultimate and last "free" branch. Bad lootpacks. An overly strong boss requiring serious pumping of each team member. And as a result, a very weak event for free players and for paid ones, too, both from the technical side and from the side of its basic idea.I still hope that there will be more adequate offers and adequate loot packs for paid players, as well as normal and balanced rewards for free players. Since with each such event, the desire to play the game becomes less and less.

Was terrible way to hard there guy in my faction spent 24 hour just carry other faction mates like they have a life and all the css level 17 was need to have 3 rockers if you do css list make sure you can do the boss with it because a level 17 with hof hogan 6 stars was undoable with 3 rockers

This event was horrible. 1. This mode loses connection alot, the moves freeze a lot. This is 100% scopley fault and we the players have to pay the price with a 5 minute timeout , for whatever the reason the failure is on your side. Me and several others had to play this game for 20-22 hours or more carrying people in the faction to get people 4 20’s. This is way too much too ask of your playerbase to do this. You could at least make all css be able to he done at level 20. That way when someone is ran through they are done. You really need to only pick bb weaknesses that a lot more superstars are effective against the boss. This was unacceptable. Do better

It was too difficult, required 2% of the faction working their tails off to carry everyone. There needs to be a rework of the concept where more people are involved. Nobody minds grinding but let's not restrict it to 6 people in each faction. We all want to play too.

Reduce the difficulty, make the grind for everyone. Would be a much better concept. Boss battle was cool until you started nerfing Owens and Meth.

Lagging and connection issues were ridiculous once again. Also glitches with charging moves didn’t help. The health gained each turn was supposed to be in a certain range, but was at the maximum range each time. Also when a move is used and the animation takes up the time left, it’s frustrating to not be able to finish the move completely, and mp is taken away. I feel like it could be done like it is when a move is dodged.

I understand some complaints here, but to say that Boss Battle destroys f2p is total bullshit. I agree this boss was not the easiest but it was totally doable up to lvl 14/15 even without ko and / or rocker. Boss Battles are all about bossbreakers and the currency for those are free to get every single day if your faction is half good at team quests the faction coins should be enough to buy the bossbreaker tokens. It takes communication and sometimes different playstyles on Champions than in Tours for example. For example anyone creating yellow gems or destroying them rather was useful in this Boss with the boss plate. I see that the plate is not totally common either but definitely easier to come by than drip plate which was mentioned quite a few times in this thread.

So yes , some points are legit , like the connection issues. But it was definitely not as paywalled as some ppl try to make it here .

So the game is broken cause you can’t max all events? Wrong way to play these games . Don’t think any mobile game of this type is like that, scopely or not

I finished the boss on level 20 so I think I have all rights to post my opinion, even if I didn’t finish the boss I would have. Point still stands u don’t need the drip plate like some ppl said to beat the boss and you don’t need rocker either , all you need is teamplay and bossbreakers. But whatever I say here some ppl will keep crying that the game is too tough because they don’t get donated everything. So keep crying about how sucky the game is if u want, apparently it’s not sucky enough for you to stop playing. Either way Boss is over , time to move on. Have a nice weekend.

Oh just one more thing , after all the bosses lately that had abilities which made ko unplayable it is just fair to have one now where ko can shine if u ask me. Next boss will have different champs as mvp again mostlikely

Doubtful that I need to be carried. But think whatever you want I couldn’t care less what you think about me. Obviously you can’t discuss on a friendly basis so keep being offensive. My IGN is Nova Chi , I have no reason to hide who I am, don’t see why you complain about the boss tho if u won so many 20s , so only one trolling is you.

Easy solution for boss breaker... 2x animation speed. this would balance out with the connection errors and tech glitches.

The most progress was made at 2am when the servers weren't overloaded. Maybe get more servers to handle the load.

In the in game store, it says complete all FREE milestones of midweek contests to earn Nash HOF. BUT, the wrestlers and plates required to beat this boss at the high levels to get the Nash medallion have NEVER been available for free for everybody.

We WANT to complete all FREE milestones of January Midweek Contest to earn brand new Kevin Nash HOF, but you, Scopely, are preventing us from doing that, making this screenshot and its text, false.

THREE medallions have been made available, actually for FREE for everybody who wanted to earn them.

TWO have been behind paywalls, preventing everybody from being able to recruit Nash HOF.

To resolve this, a 5th medallion needs to be made available, and be ACHIEVABLE BY EVERYBODY, without them having to spend, and without them having to have spent previously.
