The Reckoning Feud Contest

The event matche on Hell difficulty against Dominic Mysterio is RIDICULOUS for each heal gen over 80k damage and generates alot of em and every time he breaks blue gems he charges his 2 geen moves all 3 of his moves are literally spammed to an insane level he did over 1 million damage to my 5 star silver Edge Iconlast in a single turn!!!

So far I like the new shard chests. In the past the shard chest are usually filled up junk/old posters that are worthless and the amount of shards you got for the junk posters did nothing for you. I like the ratio of more rare posters to old/junk posters is a lot better and there is an old chase posters in there for those of us that usually never get the chase posters or for the people who do get the chase posters to help them take the poster to 6 stars. I like in hell mode there is a common poster that is CSS but the fact that there’s and escape artist on the boss makes it almost impossible for most of the community to beat it with either one of the CSS posters.

I did have a positive opinion of this weekend event until the challenge matches dropped today. I understand they’re not supposed to be easy but it’s ridiculous if you’re going to put an escape artist on for then men’s and have him ready to go turn 1 and have the women’s one pretty much impossible for the majority of the players to beat. Most of the community cannot beat a 6 star turn 1 let alone a Liv Morgan with a La Familia plate when most rosters don’t have strong 6 star women due to the bottle neck of shards to convert, 6 star tokens, and emerald tokens.

This event is giving more tp and coin, giving some premium shards, and good better belts and plates. That’s the good but the requirement’s are super tough for characters in tours and in the feud contest. So no chance to max the free portion to the gold prize without doing hundreds of matches with a trickster. Not even enough time for that. Only got 500 shards of new priest. But the most frustrating part is the 5star chest and it is not just me. The idea is great so props for the effort but I only have 3 of 11 and of coarse I pull one of the three. Then there is a poll on Facebook and 95% of people who maxed fued got one of the three I already got which are basically free. So next time odds should be better or I wouldn’t waist my time.

See, this is why I don't like detailing what I like about events in detail - because it feels like they're usually taken as 'Let's remove these aspects of the event and replace them with stuff people don't like'. Like, not even 'make more money' type stuff (though there's plenty of that here), just stuff that makes the event less enjoyable with no real financial incentive that I can see from you guys.

• I recently detailed how the Coast to Coast Faction Boss event was essentially the worst way to run tours (heavy reliance on CSS for solo points as well as the literal only way to get the shards), so of course, this pattern not only continued this week, but included characters that were min-maxxed within an inch of their lives and, in some cases, were specifically tailored to counter the CSS characters. Now, as a guy who thinks that the CSS rewards are just glorified 'did you pay enough money/get lucky enough to get X' checks, I don't give two damns about the 'difficulty' or 'satisfaction' of beating a BS match with a guy I'm basically forced to use - it's just a chore made more annoying and time consuming. Believe it or not, 'Fight Liv until she decides to break nothing but botch gems trying to kick out vs zRhea', isn't my idea of overcoming a satisfying challenge, I just feel like I'm doing loot pulls in a match with about the same level of success. I'm sure you'll get the usual top 1% crowd applauding your decision to make matches that require the perfect straps, medals, trainers, and a pile of props to beat but all I see them as is resource leeches. And I dare someone at Scopely HQ to record a video of someone beating that 6SB Priest with Tech AJ.
• Speaking of rewards, they felt like someone had read the comments of my Hall of Perfection Contest notes and figured that I had too fulfilling of a weekend, and maybe the community needed a contest where it felt like you had several kicks to the groin as a reward for the first dozen kicks to the groin. Slashed the free rewards somehow even more so than usual. Shard chests and Priest shards were merged together into one bag (so we can get screwed over twice as much if we miss any) and these shard givings were pathetic - 10-50 (predominantly 10) of a pack half full of underwhelming guys, and the premium chests were made particularly rare under the pretense of a 5SB poster. I've seen a plethora of bag openings, and they were all the same four very common characters. And to anyone advocating that this would give a newer player a shot in the arm, the characters who commonly dropped are both quite weak at this point (exception being WCW Rey) and were difficult enough to get to the point where if you got those bags, your roster was good enough that a 5SB Tech AJ did nothing for your roster.
• The war score competition. Good god, this deserves a bullet point all on its own. Again, noted in the Hall of Perfection contest that it was largely a breath of fresh air with both a more minor resource that was desired (Gold HoF tokens) as well as a genuinely generous amount of shards for a previous feud star (400 Acro Bianca shards) were given out. Here? 50 Macho shards at the end and 140 Priest shards for the more arduous task (due to steps only be partially free now) of reaching 40m. I think I would have been less insulted if I got a direct message ingame calling me several racial slurs. The only silver lining to this was that the TP rewards were actually set to each color, a slight relief after redeeming over 25,000 TP in the prize wall last week and getting... 1,500 black TP. So as such, looking forward to the TP being set to random and getting slashed by 80% for good measure.
• Another note in my Hall of Perfection feedback? I enjoyed that you didn't need to have every character in a roster of moderately rate to very rare characters to get all of the solo contest points in the superstar contest. This was, again, was something I enjoyed, so it went out the window. 1 mill solo points locked to the last milestone, so I hope you have HoF Macho or Trick Priest! And I say that because the feud lineup was almost specifically designed to stymy progression, as you had a grand total of.. three slots to put tricksters in (And I say three because if you got Trick Priest, you didn't need to worry about this contest). I can't imagine playing feud for 15 damn hours using the same three characters, while juggling the war score contest and the rest of the superstar contest requirements. Talk about a list of chores a mile long.
• Speaking of the feud roster, didn't like the Tech Priest requirement (should have been any) or the 6-star Mysterio Family (plenty of good options but way too specific for a 6-star requirement at this point) in the middle row. I figure I might as well cover all my bases so the next feud roster is even worse next week.

Use NXT Riddle with PGG moveset

Great feud weekend. We had some issues and challenges beating some of these guys in the tour really shouldn’t get too difficult until hell mode. The difficulty this time around was not having the css to take down most of the tour because of not having the chase character Dom because when you’re just starting out it’s difficult to compete with someone who has been playing for years and years. zDom should’ve been available for use for those contest bonuses. Liv just tears through you at 5sg hard mode and that’s not even fair it’s more about luck. You either have to pin her first turn or have the luck that she cascades otherwise you’re done.

On to feud the middle row middle slot was for La Familia 6s but when you don’t have that player at that level you obviously can’t fill it but it just says requirement not met instead of saying “six star La Familia”. I know the blog says it but it should say it in the game so we can see what we need to do to fill that line. This was prior to the blog being released as well. It just had the tag link symbol 🔗. Side note I wish you guys could give us little people that are now officially league 16 some love with all those shards you gave to the community league 16+ back in November. We are trying to grow our rosters to have 6 stars as well and feel handicapped because we were a couple weeks from turning league 16 not because a fault of our own but because we had to wait the daily requirement to collect each of the days required to stay in that league. Send us at least the zDom shards. Rant over.

Feud stairs are always fun to try to get especially when there are 4 I was happy with the 2 given because I was able to get them not sure if I would’ve been able to achieve them without the proper css if there was 4 available to get for free.

Priest seems to be a good superstar for trickster and hopefully one day I can have him in my lineup.

I like the way they changed the monthly character tour a few months back , however I'm not a fan of having to be a 5 star character, that I will never get in a month , to earn a prize wall medallion,

I don't really care for the moments , I don't notice a difference and it's kind of annoying when it gets a new notification.

I think you should get better chances at characters in the 55 key pull I've done it 5 or 6 times and gotten nothing but bad character shards , I know you can convert the shards but if you get 10 guaranteed I expect at least a fuse or something and not all crappy shards.

"I Reckon I'll Submit Feedback Contest" feedback

This feud was interesting in that the top 50 got the card. I can't remember if that is new or if it's been like this for a while? I liked the incentivization to continue feuding as your faction placing higher got you more shards! Definitely something in the right direction vs how it's been do 40mil warscore and call it a weekend.

The line bonus requirements were pretty generous albeit constricting especially with trying to get these CSS bonuses done (more on that in a bit). Despite the bottom row being 2 Tricksters, 1 Tech, and an Acro the requirements for those were incredibly lenient so thank you for that! The middle line has always required some work or semi-premium characters to get it so having Tech Priest here was no surprise. I had to take mine to 5SB to get the bonus. I could see the 6S Zombie Dominic being frustrating for some people, but the 100k free shards or whatever the amount was we got a few months ago should have made taking him up incredibly easy.

Some constructive feedback I'd like to give in regards to creating these line bonuses moving forward would be to make the bottom line as "open as possible" with maybe 1 completely open spot always there. I'm not saying the entire bottom line needs to just be ANY character, but I think that's where at least 1 open spot up to maybe 2 should go (I'm not advocating for 2 open spots in the bottom always and forever).

Contest Superstar Contest was so much better. Having a good mix of premium, semi premium and open spots was really nice. I myself had 6 that I could do. My only real gripe still with this is the 5000 points for winning with *insert class here* maybe...maybe could be a little more, but I understand why it's 5000 points. But to say that any Trickster wins netted you points was good.

The tour requirement were pretty open again. The trickiness of the 2 last nodes on hell mode requiring any Edge was surprising to say. I think there's a fine line with making these a little more challenging and making these a cake walk, but to say most of us couldn't just go "Super Sub goes brrrrrrrr" actually made you think...or just use your best Modern era character.

Rewards felt good and I'm happy to see that our feedback on Warscore rewards was taken seriously. The guaranteed TP amounts was a welcome change. The power straps I think are a move in the right direction. Maybe we could see Power Straps for whatever era the weekend character is moving forward? Also 50 HoF Macho shards is nice for those of us still trying to recruit him.

Not so Positives:

These guaranteed 5S character chests was exciting, but boy the RNG on these feels real not great. I believe the best character pulled from those was 2bob getting Tech Priest. So many Acro Reys, Trick Edges, and Tech AJs.

That's it. I thought overall I feel like it was a move in the right direction.

I enjoyed this weekends events. it wasn’t the easiest to do the bonus superstars due to only have one empty spot on top line. So anvil and veer could only go there. Besides that it was a decent event. I’m only 116 shards short of preist so please send him my way.

The only bad thing about the Weekend feud was the draw- rate from chests... In my Team it seemed like there were only 3 different champs at 5 star in it. But without that, keep it going like this. Hell mode was a real Challenge this time, like it always should be.

The tour was okay. For free to play players though, getting that contest bonus was hard because most of us didn't have the required superstars. The basic rewards were not bad but those bonuses would have been nice.

The feud also to get extra points required superstars that could be any of the selected superstar, which was nice. The one criticism I have about the feud is the time. If the feud began earlier it may help some out to reach milestones. Not a lot of people stay up over night to get those points.

Overall, it was a decent contest, even though I didn't make much headway in getting the superstar.

Just another money grab to screw the lower players

overall that was a nice contest new chest with shards and 5b poster are a good addition same with the ultimate power belt more tps and coins also a valuable addition for the rest its almost the same required superstars half rare and half common was ok the 50 randy shards in warscore was great too you did a good job a grindable evnt a bit too rough and impossible to max but i give you b+ on this one thanks

Enjoyable feud as always.

Pros:

Easily attainable warscore

Superstar possibilities were nIce even if we al got Edge or Rey

Cons:

Hard Mode vs Liv unnecessary (was designed more like a Hell Mode)

Hell Mode vs new Priest. I understand why css was Edge, but when you nerf his moveset that would be most fitting against a card like Priest, it obviously makes the match to difficult even for some of the most seasoned players.

Blitz was just unnecessary to have

Event was same as usual for the faction very simple and straight forward. For the solo aspect it was not as much the tour mode even for a lot of experienced players had the most difficulty against Dom and Damien with perks for and straps for some reason. Maybe tone it back a bit and start being more consumer friendly just a thought. All in all was not the greatest event but not the worst by far. 3 out of 5 for me.
