SUPER ROSEY SHOWDOWN SHOWCASE Feedback

The Super World Order was a breeze for me to get through and then everything came crashing down when I had to take on 6SB trickster rock. What I like was all the dodging my corbin was doing. What I would change is the rocks moveset here or at the very least change some of his entourages around... You could either have good luck or some extremely bad luck when it comes to this fight your champion can go from dodging all the rock's moves to taking all the rock's move and having to either spend cash or do the whole thing over again. If you spend cash like I did for a second chance you better be prepared for whatever consequences come with spending that cash because my second chance was longer then the first fight and I still couldn't beat him. The rock himself was dodging my moves too and I had multiple chances to end it and yet I couldn't because the rock was dodging these very crucial moves.

In this event, it’s hard for me to get enough token to claim a worthy prize like plate or character unless pay enough money, I suggest it could set more prize that helpful for the new player or f2w player. I understand how the game working, but after I have paid about 2000$ but still take a little advantage compare to the new player, I want to stop put money on it. I love this game, I’m a big fan of WWE and match 3 game, this game is the top match 3 game in my heart, it’s mechanics, character and faction event really attract me, but now I always play with mixed feelings.

The event is good and actually I don't mind the energy system but I wish we got better rewards because I find it extremely hard (even when paying for loot) to get new good characters

Despite reservations about the new showdown system I find myself broadly enjoying it

However on the current showdown, we are limited to very few females available, and when such a large amount of males are the bonus guys, it makes it very hard to get the bonus points unless people lower defence, which you are clearly discouraging

Female offence being open would have been a far better option

It would be nice if the prize bags offered the characters at 1 or 2 stars not just a 3 stars or 25 shards. To increase the chances at getting a new character during these events.

Ever since the change to showdown, it's been much easier to play during these contests. The only issue I have is with the reward structure.

The big prizes on the prize wall are priced fairly. They should be harder to obtain due to how game-changing they can be. I would like to suggest that some prizes, other than resources, be added to the prize wall for low-spending/F2P players to obtain. Lower ranking superstars being added at various rarities could greatly motivate a player to push for them. If they are really close, they may be incentivised to spend a few dollars to get a few extra medallions. Say for 7-10,000 medallions, you can get a 3/4 star bronze poster of a B/C tier superstar.

You could also potentially add Icons of WrestleMania tokens to the showdown prize wall, as the mode has increased use for IOW superstars now.

That said, I enjoy the showdown contests more now than I did before the change. It's a big step in the right direction.

I personally enjoyed the zombie showdown more but this wasn’t bad. Still very hard to get the rewards you want without spending money which is a shame. I don’t run out of energy for the showcase showdowns like I do for the regular showdown (I refuse to pay for more energy, even with in game currency) especially since showdown has a restriction on who you can use. For example, I loved being able to choose my strongest male character for the superhero showdown but couldn’t change the female - which ended up being okay either way. But my defense was a really weak team and the cause of me never being able to hold a decent streak. I won a match, got back to the screen to select a new match and my streak was already at 0.

I would probably rate this showdown 6 or 7 out of 10.

The good:

Showdown was solid, no bugs or errors. More freedom to pick a lead is always preferable to class restrictions.

Tours were also mostly good.

The bad:

Whoever put MEM Rock as a 6SB match needs to think through such a decision. Generally tricksters are annoying enough to deal with: given restrictions, to go against a 6 star trickster that can heal is...unkind.

Reducing Showdown energy AND making take longer to recharge was a bad choice. One choice would have okay. Both makes little sense.

Neither here nor there:

Nikki ASH should have been selectable in this contest.

I’m a big fan of the new showdown. I like there’s no cap on showdown coin that you can grind

I'd rate it. 6/10..only a few I could do but I enjoyed the two I could complete as far as tours ..I do enjoy the showdown and like the changed that were made to it

My man Rosey is like a full year late - the Hurricane MLC was so at least a year ago!

• The tours were, uh, mixed. I knew right away that playing the Friday tour would have resulted in some screwy stuff with the energy, and even without the bug it means that I'd have to sit on my hands until I'm out of energy in the showdown tour to get the most use out of the energy in said tour, especially since it was the first match of each difficulty. Everything else was fine, but faction points as a tour reward doesn't exactly get me going. Also, I've beaten a 6SB MEM Rock with a 5SS Easy E twice now. I don't want to do it ever again. Stop making me do it.
• Really enjoyed the free first slot in showdown, as that means I can break out the guys I built up for showdown for a change and burn through my energy at a decent tick. The Attitude era requirement for the men's defense was less my speed, but honestly defenses are in the back of my mind at this point. A very breezy showdown for what it was, and considering the difficulty usually gives way to the grind that is by no means a bad thing.
• This wasn't a bad superstar competition, but that may have been because I had most of the characters. That being said, though, only a handful of people were really incredibly difficult to get, and I believe that the final 1 mil would be bonus milestones only, but as I also saw, having it so that missing 2 CSS locks you out of it without spending is very limited.
• Doth my eyes deceive me? Was there an actual reward of use (i.e. the Holly gear) that wasn't hidden behind a 300 dollar paywall? Shards are actually to the point where you could buy more than one set? This was, like, a really good prize wall and I was actually shocked that I could afford the Holly gear, something I didn't have that would have noticeably improved a character of mine as a reward for doing very well in a contest without paying out the ass. Seriously can't commend this enough. It's almost enough to make me ignore the exclusive plate and moment that you would have to pay out the ass for. Almost.
• As others have commented on it, I've found that once we've ditched the super restrictive layouts, the new showdown system isn't all that bad as long as the events keep being designed with their limitations in mind. I think that ultimately it hasn't solved the problem of the career showdown being useless (mid-week and weekend showdowns will more than keep you in showdown tokens unless you're relentlessly chasing every IOW character at once, which also makes the ranked rewards undesirable), I'm not really complaining that I have to do my obligatory 5 tag matches a day so in general, I've become accustomed to the system.

I love you WWE champion game my favourite game

Feedback for SUPER ROSEY SHOWDOWN SHOWCASE

Slightly outdated release and not the throwback you first thing off in WWE.

I would say a mediocre first event for the new MLC, can’t say I was totally excited to see Super Rosey being added, partly because I saw the Rocky crossover coming from the screenshot of the prizewall for the May Throwback blog.

Tours were basic, didn’t make you take a break from doing Showdown grind to complete them straight away. The best rewards from the tours were paywalled and luck having pulled Rosey in the first 24 hours. Would have been nice to have a bit of solo points in mixed in there not just faction points, as the faction leader board I don’t find competitive and it’s the based on who is going to spend the most. You’ve got more chance of betting money on who will place first place and get the new plate, than wasting time spending to evolve your roster, after talent up for Kick off and HOF contest already, to even attempt to get in the top 100. Factions with a mix of spenders and F2P & even new players to some degree, just can’t compete. So instead of spending 6 star tokens to get poor rewards for the first milestone, better saving them for the 6 star evolution contest and progress in the MLC!

The bonus characters for the tours were not very kind in my opinion, to have Bischoff and Tribute to the Troops Trish at 6 star to even get the hell node done just to get 100 shards, a bit silly and unrealistic. Having spent in the past to get Molly Holly, why was she not a bonus character for the female tour? Didn’t understand that.

The tours were better on the KO showdown than this one for sure

Showdown and the updates are great, I think the new system is working well, one thing I think needs to change is when you lose your streak, if you then get “Revenge” it should give you a boost of match streaks for doing so, say 5 for example. I lost a 30 match streak, to win the revenge match, but still had to start back at 1, something that could improve.

In all honesty, I think no matter what showdown event is put on, you haven’t replicated a Bulldog one in a while, so we know the chances of grinding showdown and then getting the featured character isn’t happening. Many in my faction carried on the grind just for the coins, and I think that’s what it is seen as now, just a way of getting more SD coins for the new shop, which again is awesome!

Prizewall would have pleased big spenders to get plates, 6 star tokens are way overpriced for x1. Seeing the current amount of shards you currently have for that character before you decide to purchase would be a nice thing to have, instead of having to go back to the roster screen and scroll to the bottom. Because of the rarity of the RA straps, I personally would have loved to have the option to buy a RA strap for the 18k and have the option to put it on any RA male or female and not be locked by class. I spend the 18k on the strap hoping I could use it for my RVD only to be locked by Trickster class so it was sold. Feel like a bit of a waste of time getting the currency and not finishing the event with at least something as the character was not obtained.

The loot peaked interest, just because of Umaga and Super Stacey for me, no luck though.

Final thoughts – The showdown events are becoming slightly predictable, we get an A Tier card, get a bit of currency for doing a bit of grind, the spenders have a plate (no pun intended) of rewards to choose from, unless you spend on loot and energy, chances are you won’t be adding the character to your roster.

Event rating – 7/10
