    This should be in the feedback thread so moving there.

  • I was excited for this event, after going through the grind - the effort was not worth it. Not being able to get the new characters, I knew there was no way to max other than the feud. I feel the last few events have declined, even if you spend. Spending gets you the same crappy Tier C shards even buying the to bundle. I have experienced that a few times. Makes me want to keep my money in the bank. I have no issue with grinding, I ask to reconsider the way events at ran so it can have a positive effect on all levels of players so it’s more enjoyable to all. Fair play is always discussed, how fair is it to those that cannot afford to spend on every event and items are harder to get even if you do spend?

    For someone who enjoys feuding, it has made no difference to me as a player when it comes to CSS for feud points contest, as I never use them. I take the most competitive team possible and play the grind. 50 million is still a reasonable max milestone but I think the 4th prize wall medallion should be in there rather than behind a paywall, especially when it's not a premium card on offer. This will go along way with lower rosters or newer players, showing that the grind is worth it if they get something out of it besides TP and coins, because let's be honest, the prize wall is usually pants with a couple of exceptions which have been taken away (Shayne and Sheamus being the examples)

    What I would like to see though for those that enjoy feuding is a better point structure linked to the solo contest. Collecting shards this weekend was a bad move whereas before it's been using a card which gave more incentive to battle.

    Tours were same as previous, nothing to exciting but nothing too disappointing either. I do think the challenge tour needs to be removed as only a handful of people pull the new guy so vast majority of people can't do it, it wouldn't affect those that do get the new card as the victory tour will take care of that.

    The prize wall needs to upgraded massively to make it worth while for players. I know the Dev team will read this as just players wanting everything for nothing but that's not the case. If you are newer player and you hit 15 million to achieve 3 medallions, you should get more than just shards. Even it's a 3 star gold card, at least it gives a sense of achievement and allows player to work on someone, because even the TP and coin packs were a bit poor this time round. Ive got a strong roster so new cards don't bother me anymore but I see newer players come into the game and the incentive to stick with it isn't what it used to be and there's a lot of competition out there for Scopely so give players the buzz to play.

    Feud matchups seemed balanced (in my opinion) with the exception of a few mismatches but it is what it is.

    Not really much else to add, it was another feud event and I'm sure the next one will have similar setups.

    Feedback for Acolyte After Dark Fued

    Positives

    • It's been a while since we had another Bradshaw and since we got Acolytes Farooq then Bradshaw was bound to happen.
    • CSS required for Solo Tours were decent.
    • Glad to see Hawk Bradshaw available on sale and not hidden behind a large cost. As much as I'd like not to spend I thought this was worth it considering I barely had much of his shards and he was kind of still rare to me so for the price offered on sale, I was fine spending for him.
    • Good to see shards back again in the common shard bags.
    • Line bonuses were fine even though I didn't have Acolyte Farooq, the bottom line was fair to allow flexibility with getting those extra warscore points.
    • I don't chase leaderboards so the faster I can get to the 50m warscore, I am always happy with that. I managed to get it done in couple hours, doesn't mean I want this to be a 75m warscore. I think 50m for normal fued is perfect. So PLEASE don't change this anytime soon.

    Negatives

    • The obvious change to the Superstar competition is such a big let-down. I mean this particular one was hard enough as it is and many wouldn't usually be able to complete this considering the requirements always needed rare superstars but to change this to collect new character shards? What's the point event? Feels like another mis-calculation on your part with the point count or someone's ridiculous suggestion. We were all providing feedback to increase the score but instead you change it completely to something ridiculously stupid. I mean the rewards aren't event that great other than shards and resources so why make this harder than it needs to be?
    • The Prizewall is a complete joke. Only 3 free medallions and you offer 10 shards for 1 medallion. Really? Will just take the free resources and call it.
    • I would prefer if the 100 shard chests went back to containing shards of other superstars rather than a chance at poster/medallion. We all know the odds of this is scaled to just get the 100 shards. I could be super lucky and get the card but I'd rather take the option of guaranteed range of rare cards that I would have a shot to eventually shard recruit in future.

    Another fued with the exception where a change was made to piss off the community rather than make a change that would allow us to feel, ok this is something new lets try and see how that goes. Nope.. right off the bat it was given that the change is made to only allow those who have all the CSS in Superstar competition to max the event and the rest of us.. well..

  • I only hope that the " team" reads every piece of the feedback. The amount of criticism recieved for the "changes" is very well deserved.It seems like the iceberg isnt too far away. The one point per Bradshaw shard,which replaces a 5000 piint bonus feud victory with criteria is laughable. Youre telling me that 5000 shards of Bradshaw is the same as a victory using a Striker superstar? The only positive i can give about this weekend is that the solo MAX was reduced to 50 million feud points. On top of ,riding the coattails of a midweek boss battle, which was another paywalled event. You couldn't even make GB Cena a bonus character for any of the tours? Wait,maybe il experiencing a visual "glitch" where the points were rewarded incorrectly or a blog was put out with an error that made you change the max total so it would be impossible to obtain an Ali point without spending?!My question to you is if were speaking in the fairness for all players ,why are wrestlers that have not been employed by the WWE in years are still in the game,and still able to be obtained in CURRENT rewards. You want to speak in the fairness for everyone, then actually make it fair,rather than a tongue and cheek line to help save your hide. Wait,this was all a visual glitch,this not real,i did not intend to write all of this.

    This contest was not great at all,I love feuds and this one was such a let down. The shards for points concept was just bad,the characters needed was crazy(not everybody has a 6* attitude era character) the prize wall was a joke with the 1 time buys. I had to get a bunch of stuff I really didn’t want to get just to use the tokens and not lose them. This was a complete dud event.

  • I was very disappointed to see the prize wall was paywalled for the one available superstar which is a very old Shawn Michaels. Instead of placing that on the prize wall, then they should have Shawn available for $19.99. Having a compete and pay model for the feud prize wall is unnecessary. People who don't spend, won't all of a sudden spend. This event overall was a basic feud. Mostly, it was a throw away event.

    Well after playing through this event I really wanted to have some good things to say about it but I definitely do not and here are my thoughts

    1) tour contest Superstars were horrible there are tons of different wrestlers in the attitude era focusing in with an undertaker was not helpful

    2) I actually spent a little bit on this one and of course God nothing in return for spending really demoralizes me on doing so again in the future I don't know why it is that way but for some reason I never hit on anything

    3) did not like the new tiebreaker and viewed as far as being charged it would have been much better to increase the amount of points you could get with a certain Superstar class not to mention way too much emphasis on new exclusive wrestlers that you cannot get unless you spend hundreds of dollars

    4)

    And once again I'm going to complain about the not to crate start times for the feuds the only fair way to do a feud is to do it for 24 hours straight so everybody has the same amount of time you could increase the points if you want to but that's the only fair way to do it

    5) make it possible to actually get the contest Superstar for people who get the gold chest milestones even if it's at one star and don't even get me started on the skill plates I'm never going to get one worth a crap clearly I don't know how you could spend enough money to get the certain tokens that you need to even get them the only free ones really I've ever seen given out are to the top five factions that don't need them please for the love of God do something to your loyal not extremely rich players who have been playing for years

    The week tours the last few weeks have been good that allows players to actually be able to beat it with the help from props.

    The prize wall was awful and the change to missing the CSS was not good. Would be nice to see the tiebreaker for the missing CSS be brought back but worth more points per win

    The tiebreaker scoring change ruined this event for me. It will also ruin any future feud events unless the old scoring is restored. Stopping players from actually participating in contests in the worst possible direction for the game to take. We already have paywalled participation in Showdown, and now Feud has a massive paywall just to participate as well. We aren't even talking about recruiting the new poster here, we're simply talking about side contests that have always been grindable if players really want to.

    With no incentive to actually play, I spent $0 on this game again this weekend and spent my free time playing other games instead. It's sad that after over 6 years I'm being pushed away from the game because the devs only want us spinning the loot and don't want us playing their game.

    Another huge negative of the weekend was putting the poster on the prizewall behind a paywall which casual/ftp/new players had access to by grinding the event. We all understand trying to make money but there comes a point where you're just sucking every bit of fun out of the game.

    The 900$ 4th medallion on the portal spent event is hilariously awful. I finally saw someone pull one from a bag this weekend and the choice of rewards they had was terrible. If something has insanely low odds like this or costs 900$, shouldn't it be of some value?

    Nothing like coming to the feedback thread after a controversial change - even better when the change doesn't really affect you for once!

    • Thankfully we're back to getting shards for characters in bags, and even some shards that people might actually use! This was really the only change past the usual rewards, so I really have to reiterate how the chance at new shards from bags is basically the only way to get closer newer characters at this point aside from just paying for shards, which appears to be the predominant method at this point.
    • Tours were somehow fine - I was thinking the Trickster Bradshaw requirements would have been a mess to deal with, but he's able to hold his own surprisingly well and he was actually available for 20 bucks during the weekend so I actually don't have many complaints.
    • Even if I didn't get all the way in it (even with Faarooq, a character released last week), I did want to take a moment to say that I did like that the superstar contest went down to 3 matches per character, because the less I need to switch up my feud roster to accomodate for to useless characters (*coughAPAFaarooqcough*), the better.
    • That being said, the tiebreaker change is entirely for the worse. For the record, I'm not outraged by the change being a guy who hits 50/75m and decides that there's a few hundred things more worth my time than feud - in my perspective, the tiebreaker just went from something that was unfeasible to grind to straight-up impossible to grind. But in the perspective from someone who would put in work all of feud - presumably invested people who regularly spend - what's the point? At that juncture, it's just a spending contest all the way down, moreso than it already is considering anyone who has Bradshaw (and the other mega-rare characters) is at an insurmountable advantage.
    • Showstopper Shawn sure is a character to lock behind a 20 dollar paywall as a poster that used to be free. Wouldn't Rocky '76 or Ali both be better options that were presumably free to obtain? The free poster for grinding feud was seen as a way to help get F2P players at least some of the way through the process of setting up a competent roster, but I guess that's not happening anymore because it seemingly costs more and more to really get anything out of this game.
    • I got nowhere else to put this but please put both flash and normal feud war score contests to 50m so I can enjoy the rest of my weekend sooner, please and thank you

    Hell of a drop in quality of rewards for your time.

    Last time we were able to get Shayna at 5 star for getting 15mil. before that Sheamus, who is a game changing coach. This time we get nothing. I stopped after about 10 mil.

    Phenom Taker in tours is also silly. No one has him powered up because he is so far behind the meta its not worth it. If the plan is to give the old characters a boost with the new added effect moves, then tell us first!

    No fun. The game lost me and I did DIY around the house instead.

    2/10 for me.
