    Yeah um the new tours are inexcusably bad. Change them back. FORCING people to use the free weekly character, which is basically always fodder? No thanks. And don't even get me started on the 6 star mess.

    so we need 6s mvp we can only use mvp ? i hope this isnt a trend, again we should be able to use any one and not have the requirement to play mvp, make it open the bonus stuff should have extra points.

    I thought the character specific tours were bad enough and now there's a 6 star requirement on them? Gross

    It is crazy to think youre wanting people to waste resources on some shmuck of a character like mvp. I believe even yall deemed it "C" tier. Why would you even think something like that was a good idea? If this is an attempt to settle the paywall yall have been putting up I would suggest maybe something different. The tokens are hard enough to get being that 90% are paywalled, so let us try to come up with a better solution. like just a 6s period, or a specific CLASS 6s. that way it would encourage people to have a diverse class size of 6s.

    • you cannot call a MLC that when youre only having a 4day contest. I think it is a freaking sham how you are making the keys harder to get almost like youre trying to force people to buy keys.
    • If you will do the contest from monday to sunday I could understand being you had contest points and keys in the weekend events this past "MLC" but when youre giving points out for a non existent contest what is the point? If when the event started on monday and it automatically gave you what you earned that weekend it would be different.

    all in all so far your month has started off like a utter waste of individual and factions time. The fact that youre now asking instead of us paying for it to waste resources on useless characters which in turn would potentially make someone to spend even more money is a SHADY PREDATORY PRACTICE.

  • I am looking past the 6 Star requirement for the bonuses on Hell, but I am disappointed on having the tour be MVP only. Here is my story for those who have the time to read it. My son is 11 and likes to play on my account to have fun and clear tours whenever. He knew there was a new contest this week and wanted to play. He doesn't care about contest superstars or bonuses or getting coin, he just wants to play the game with his favorite characters. For some reason he likes Edge, Trick Andre and Otis, no concept of worth in the game. I am happy to spend resources to build up "bad characters to make him happy, but these guys have not been usable in any of the MLC weekly contests. I, an adult, can appreciate the challenge of only requiring a Technician or New Gen for a tour. Having it restricted to only one character is too far. We need more open tours. We need to be allowed to play the game the way the players want to play it.

    My son is sad. Can't play MLC tour, can't play victory tour, can't play showdown. I am hoping that we have the restrictions lifted up a little bit for the tour we get today and the next mid week contest. Thanks for reading.

    I’m really outraged by the constant efforts of what seems to be forcing people away from the game.

    As a company you should see that too. And everyone that stops playing this game all have a somewhat similar opinion on the reasoning of quitting:

    • It’s repetitive, without any impulse
    • The game is less and less playable because of certain heavy requirements
    • The game is turning more and more in to a resource management game
    • now with this new requirement we are asked to level an utterly useless character, or miss out…..

    guess y’all want more and more people leaving this game…. A real real shame.

  • It is a kick in the arse putting chase character shards only on a tour that requires a 6s and taking away the shards from the other tours. B.S move scopely.

    Actually thanks for giving me a reason to look at him again. And to learn how to use him. We get so much tp and coins. It’s shouldn’t be a problem to people anymore honestly. The only b side I see is he legit to go up against the stars that are now or do you need to add to his move set otherwise great work. And mine was at 4 bronze when I started

    I have read a ton of the posts and agree with every single one. I don't get why all of a sudden you need a specific character at 6s to do tours. Not only that why in the world would anyone take up those certain characters to 6s. Tokens are hard enough to get let alone wasting them on characters you would literally never use again. Is vince McMahon back there running things in creative now as well. You have content creators maybe run some of these ideas by them first. I seriously shake my head at some of the idea or changes you people come up with.

    Everything posted so far I whole heartedly agree with.

    March bug & glitches - ignored

    March feedback - ignored

    But thanks to these changes I have discovered other games & the limited play that is now a big part of both showdowns gives me ample time to play these new games.

    The whole point is to keep players playing “your” game & not restricting & limiting gameplay which forces players to stop playing or pay!

    I hope the new owners of scopely have a better plan than what we are currently experiencing.

    Since my return into this game. I see some change made that are good and others I really don't like like others people talking about

    Pros

    • Seem you have remove the 30 days of Faction MLC. Really a good idea because honestly was a little too much annoying to be punished to be in a inactive faction and always miss the rewards. So the progression was slow very too slow. Cannot talk for others but on my side that making me progress so slow. At a point when I had reach League 16 in August my MLC contest was only at 12/47 was so horrible during month and month. Now after just 1 week. I am already at 17/47. Its a good thing no more rewards are too much related to faction and more oriented Solo. This way player in dead faction are less punished
    • MLC Character are super fun to have and play with. Dakota Kai, Dexter Lumis,etc... I like it
    • Seem you have add a new pulls and I like it so much. I don't notice the name. The Blue Medallions you gain when you max the MLC Kick Talent Up. to be able to gain Ultimate Strap, Medals, Medals Shards,etc... its very appreciated. I like so much this new addition to the game

    Cons

    • Seem you have remove how MLC Character tour work. I don't like this change. Before we add 30 days to make MLC to 4 Bronze or higher and finish Normal,Hard and Hell with over 30 nodes. So over 2 Millions coins, huge amount of tokens and of course over 30k keys. I notice with the change its no more possible to get like 30k keys. Now since last week with Dakota Kai that allowed me to see we can gain only 11k Keys. So you have remove too much keys. A lots of people like me count on keys pulls to get shard or new card. Without keys you make it difficult to improve our roster. Normally MLC pulls give me a least 2 or 3 new character I don't have. this time I gain nothing because the amount of key is very low now. I have try 20k pulls and got nothing. Seem the only keys we get are only via portal with 4k or via the free bag so between 250 and 500 per day. I don't like it
    • I also notice that I don't like what in the hell Scopely thing that was a good thing use old character to 6 star like MVP to progress in a tour. MVP is not that bad but not that good either. No one will improve him to 6 Star. Each month you seem to choose one for a tour and ask it to have it to 6 Star. So I don't like it

    April Betrayal is for now a really good month. I like it. Good event. Really good change. A lots of rewards. No more too much depending of Faction but more oriented Solo. Also 6 Star bring some bad change like Tour that ask now 6 Star Superstar its just a bad idea. Overall its not bad.

    Can't wait what the rest of the month what gonna be. For now other than MVP tour that was a flop. Its a 8/10. I have a lots of fun

    And now you remove the skill plate token from the MLC Faction contest all together. What’s up with that? Last month the token was in the final Faction contest

    I thought having the Friday tour each week being a bad character now, but decent when they came out really a gatekeeper to resources one would need to help their faction max each week. This has to change for next month's MLC because it will drive people to quit. I totally ignored the last hell match of that tour and the challenge match where they need to be used.

    I'm not really a fan of the weekly Faction MLC events and would like for them to change back to monthly event. Just too much planning that has to be done to make sure you get at least 200k faction points every week. Pushes the progress of last month's chase tour to last week and I believe eventually be paid where one will be required to have to pay money for keys just to keep up.

    The free character and chase were severely underwhelming and had a hard time with Lumis in his weekly tour with Miz. Could you have put a less annoying superstar to face every week? Maybe he might be better 5 star or 6 star, but I'll never know because I will not look at Lumis after this month and will only put Asuka at 5sb for her tours after seeing Mherex's video.

    The chase character especially shouldn't be on the level or close to the level of the free character. Asuka, I feel always gets the short end of the stick in WWE champions. Each one of her versions in the game are horrible. Only thing that saves her tech version is if you use the JD plate and zEdge plate on a ultimate strap. They may be good trainers or coaches, but that's as far as I will take any of them.

    Having the MLC prizewall reset weekly was probably the best thing that happened in the past two MLCs. I could grab valuable tp each week that helps strengthen my roster and help max the tp event easily.

    this event can be broken down very simply into two categories.

    1. Zombie event was fantastic!!!
    2. This MLC was the worst in every way aside from zombie event in around 2 years.

    Overall solo points were a bit harder to get this month. Chase shards we're about 2 times as hard to get.

    Worse is that the chase is terrible. Lumis is okay, but the choice to have SB Miz with that moveset be his month long opponent made Lumis seem very lacking and led to great frustration and a TON of MP down props wasted.

    Other new characters were great, but a non factor as most won't get them. Still… great additions.

    Most events were good to same. But, knowing the chase is such a D tier or below character made it hard to care.

    And this is an intangible, but more people I know retired from the game this month than ever before. The player base seems to have shrank and the "buzz" was missing most of the month.

    To improve… I want to see you make money! And one way to do that is to make the game fun for new and long-time players. That balance felt good for a few months. Recent Free's like GB Cena, Kai, and Ridge were WORTH IT, and their respective chases are great. Rewards for grinding have improved, though they have a long way to go! But this month took most of the reward away… and, one more time, the prize at the end is one of the worst chase characters in the game's last 3 years.

    There needs to be a buzz again… oh… and ironic thought to that to close… several events (the April 20 event is a great example) had literally nothing to do…

    Take the zombie event you did this month and make everything much more like that… have an average to good chase… and just let the community have fun again.

    At the end of the day this MLC seemed to br about giving people reasons to look at other games.

  • dimosfen

    The event turned out to be very chaotic.

    On the one hand, it's a good idea to give roads to old characters, but on the other hand, requiring them to be upgraded to 6 stars is a very strange idea.

    Why is the final goal changed to coins? If in fact you still have to go through the event to get them? Maybe then it would be necessary to divide the coins according to some receiving criteria so that each player could at least get something in return. For example, give out one coin in the following way for 100, 200,300 and 500 reputation points, then it will be approximately equivalent to receiving these coins in a lower league. Otherwise, it turns out that you get either all or nothing.

    The zombie event was only as good as the bad MOTY event. The second feud was with a minimum number of rewards, the last one with poor clan event rewards.


    Oh yeah, week long clan events and trying to force people to walk roads with non-playable characters is a very bad idea. For me, if you managed to go through the hell road with these characters, then let them receive a reward, but for some reason you force you to download non-playable characters for 6 stars and only in this case receive bonuses.


    And of course, the final goal - Asuka, to put it mildly, is not worth so much effort and spending to get it, the character is weak, to put it mildly, the only benefit from him is the roads at the next event, and at the end of this, of course.


    The FREE character is an exact carbon copy of the previous male only character and instead of botch gems, it makes silence gems, that's all the difference, and of course the bonuses it gives.
