The Big KO Showdown

I will modify a little what I said I didn't see a detail that was very important. My bad too long I didn't play

Pros

• Showdown Shop : Way better than in the past so allow us to buy 2 Millions, 5 Millions or I think 7 Millions coins each day. More easier to get Hall of Fame token by obtain X20 or by example 5 Star one for only 924 its pretty awesome and help to improve Hall of Fame character. So I like this change.
• Showdown Coins : Way better. Before was more like dependent of the the league and how your scored in 1 day to have coins bonus like 20k+. So you needed to be a no life that doing like 200 battles or more. So that part was no sense. Now with the limited system in 2 days I will get a guaranteed 10k+ by doing just the battle. At least after the showdown we are guaranteed to have minimum 10k or more. That was not the case before.
• Showdown Milestone : I like the fact we can do a lots of points and milestones. Probably over 3/4 of the milestones. Its a really welcome change.

Some point are better and other less better than before

Cons

• Showdown Character Required : I little too much character needed for making points are behind Pay Pulls. At least we can do a lots of points with the Contest Points in this one its 480,000. Not so bad. Still after few years. Still Impossible to max it without possess all required characters
• Showdown limited system : On this I agree with everyone here after read the negative comment about this. No one like this system its horrible. You removed the only mode that was fun to play unlimited by make it so limited.
• Showdown Required Difficulty : For me its a huge con. if you want to make extra points to reach Universal and Elite League are just out of reach. Not impossible but without a perfect defense its impossible for lower rosters
• Defense log : Way more horrible than before. You have found a way to make it worst than before. People since year had say to you to improve it and you found a way to make it worst. I just did all my 24 battles. I was at 700 during a moment. After few minutes drop at 230 or around and when I see my logs and lose so much -100 notority in 1 battle. Come on who in Scopely guy have think that was a good idea to make us lose -100 or I seen -108 in some battle. How in the hell we are suppose to reach Champion league or Elite League. Its impossible if you don't have 6 Star that do like 5 Millions damage or over and push back battle in defense. Before at least was more easier to up at 1000 or more and stay there. Some time we dropped but at least finished at 1000 was easier.
• Changing Opponent : Its the big huge con in this mode. I will probably lose over 10 millions of coins just to try to find a beatable opponent. The matchmaking is horrible. Not enough coins in milestones to compensate this lost. Losing 256k or over a 1 million and decide after to lose a match just to restart at 2500. its stupid. I hope in future Scopely will add a different system to change opponent other than Coins

I miss this game. So when I restarted last week. I was sure I will have so much fun to play it again. Now I am not sure anymore after seen this

I don't talk about the thousand of bugs and problem this game has right now. Character move that don't work properly, sound that don't work correctly,so much freeze, game not loading, etc.... the list is too much long.

To return to Showdown. If this mode stay like this forever. to be honest I don't know player will stop playing overtime. its not fun and its not interesting at all. Of course we can still make points and reach milestones but still not fun. too much limited

Already there is close nothing to do in this game. I play 5 minutes and close the game. Showdown was the only mode that I liked doing for hours and hours during all day when that was unlimited. You change that and kill the fun

what left? I guess the only fun left now happen only 1 time a month. Its during the beginning of the MLC with kick-off talent and have fun improve roster. Other than that. Its just click the daily get your stuffs, close the game, wake up the morning doing Showdown 6 battles. Close the game. Come in evening doing daily and get stuffs and repeat.

this game lack of activity. I means now that Showdown is limited. What else we can do now? after finish doing all battle in Showdown. Now we must wait the Showdown Action to refill overtime.

I have still a lots of fun playing this game but less than before to be honest.

If I give a score of this showdown its gonna be a : 5/10 : 1 point for up my Showdown coins and 1 point for the fun beat the others in a PVP. 1 point for milestones and the possibility to gain a lots of rewards. Some points for fun. 1 remove 1 point because over 1000 matchmaking don't make sense and losing after this event over 10 millions coins just to find beatable target is stupid.

I remove 1 points because Universal and Elite are out of reach. I remove 1 point because like always too much characters behind paywall is required. I remove 1 point for the Log problem and the fact we lose -108 notority. 1 point because I cannot longer doing it all day

I can't wait to read what others have to say about this one tomorrow. Sometime I don't feel I have 1.40 Millions and feel like I have still 100k only at the point I can't do nothing with what I have right now. I don't know if I am alone in that case. Something tell me same if I up my roster to 3 Millions I will feel I will be able to do nothing because I will have never the one required in the game in Tours, Feud, showdown,etc... its a huge throwback that push back player fun.

SD Promoter coins are not adding towards event. I have 2 promoters, both making 300 additional coins each. So once in maxed league I get 2100 coins. I've spent considerable resources working these up and do find that the extra coins are not adding to showcase competition so I am missing out and potentially cannot max due to it. Can this please be resolved ASAP.

The transition to the energy system for this mode still has some getting use to. I think that there should be more cap on the selected secret superstars, as well as the event character themselves. Match making is still mediocre at best,but understandable because thats a huge task to fix. How about implementing a bonus of coins when you build a winning streak,similar to notoriety. Just thinking of ways to make these types of modes more rewarding for skilled players. When we will see Logan Paul??? Asking for a friend

The event is over.

Matchmaking is unbearable & has sucked the fun out of playing.

Over the course of the event I’ve had 25 defensive attacks! Where have the players gone?

It would be interesting to see the player activity stats for the event.. my guess would be about 7,000 people playing.

By the match making, my opponents mainly players who weirdly have spent $1000’s, very few have been what would be classed as f2p players.

The fear of no new player base may be becoming a reality.

So the new promoters that are only available via King of Kings, work only in career showdown.

Not very “value for money” is it!!

Not much good to say here.

Tour design has been terrible for the last two years. Not enough solo contest points, too few faction contest points, bonus characters are crap no one should be wasting time on. Not enough bags in tours.

Showdown used to be my favorite thing. It needed two updates, the store and the matchmaking. What you gave us was an over complicated mess. The energy has to go. It honestly ruins everything. I imagine this is a consequence of the unlimited coins, but they aren't worth enough in the event. You used to be able to make decent progress in the event by earning coins, now you can only make progress by winning with certain people (almost always people i don't have). So whats the point? There's no striving. Its just not very good.

Prize wall is the usual joke. All the shiny things require amounts that need spending to obtain. Just get rid of the wall and put prices on that stuff then.

Its not the worst event you've ever run. Its not invasion level bad. But its far from your best work.

Happy it was a showdown, I am looking to bank more currency because the new store has my holy grail which is Hollywood Hogan. That is my main motivation to play right now.

Tour

Same as usual. Trickster Owens sucks.

Showdown Competition

I struggled with this one because of the striker lead wrestler situation. My best 3 are Sid, Stunning Steve and Braun at 5SB. So it required a lot of spending to find people I could beat. I spent around 2 mil over the weekend on refreshing fights. I never ran out of energy. And I was able to do all the modern requirements and chosen weak characters.

Medallion Prizewall

Only straps and coins for me. No pay to play.

Who am I?

FTP player, with 2.1 million roster and only one 6 star character in the male division.

Overall A event. The grind for showdown is easy. 

Faction leaderboard:

Make the plate for top 5 factions. You’re creating a one side monopoly to the same faction.   The top 5 factions would make it to 500 players for the plate.  Notice woken members have officially taken over the leaderboard and you’re digging the grave deeper for other players in the terms of advantages and not helping anyone else.  

TOURS dexter tour was challenging last 2 matches of hell mode with 3SG but it was not impossible.  Dexter has a decent design to at least make it through barely.  

Solo event:

Seems pretty well balanced with no real complaints.  Could always use more but it’s solid in the milestone aisle.  

Showdown

Double check the blog for CSS.  I figured the nWo was not suppose to be there but we had to go with it.  

Energy: great concept still.  I was bummed the IGC option was removed this time from the store. I was ready to use the IGC I purchased this week. I guess it was for nothing though.  

Faction event/milestones:

The last milestone should contain ultimate straps.  We have officially moved towards those and I would suggest to have them in ever faction event.  Maybe 2 or 3.  3 does seem much but would be generous.  

Talent up was not hard to achieve for factions.  It went fast.  But the problem is no one can keep up with Woken and they continuously get first place.  The only way to beat them is expose the leaderboard and cheat by swapping out faction members to do talent up. This was done before in Execution. Factions are about to get desperate if something isn’t done. 

Showdown showcase:

Maybe add some other stuff in the milestones.  They seem bland with solo points and energy only.  Maybe emerald, straps, other tokens, or even shards for hard to get people.  

The global leaderboard points amounts should be raised to assist in reaching the next to last milestone at least for the top 200. Seems like the points should be doubled up each the milestones. 

I ran into this start match error several times. (Photo shown on a few times).  Health of my opponent and me are messed up.  Customer service was on point with the HPs and energy. I can honestly say in the past year Customer service has greatly improved and became faster. 

Store offers:

HPs offer was awesome. I’m not sure if 20,000 was the intent at $4.99 or if it was meant to be 2,000 but 20,000 was on point and much needed.  

No energy??? I was disappointed in the no energy in store for IGC. I figured that would happen though. 

Only downside: when it’s the last few hours and you’re 15,000 notoriety, you only see 8,000 and rarely find a 15k or 20k.  So this makes it very very difficult to climb up the ranks with energy. you use coins to recycle opponents but can find only low level and nothing near your notoriety

It was a good event

It was a great contest I'm a big fan of KO

Like how the new rewards shop setup didn’t like where you were only limited to only raw branded characters to use during the event

The tours were fine, too few faction and solo points available. The amount of faction points doesn’t make me want to upgrade the CSS due to low ROI. I don’t mind the energy system for the SD because I can spend all my energy and not feel like I’m not accomplishing anything while waiting for it to refill. My issues were the fixed main superstar type on offense, but open on defense. It meant that if you don’t have 6S characters you weren’t going to have a chance. I do have 6S characters and it was still a challenge. Also, by limiting character classes, you take away a lot of team link bonuses on offense, but I was facing the Bushwackers with their ridiculous gem damage reduction bonus. I spent several million coins trying to find matches that I wasn’t going to instantly lose on.

Over all good event would like to see solo points in tours that be nice
