Ring General Decay

A lot of these new character events are proving too hard to achieve, for many players especially the very rare and premium Superstars required, surely there can be a way for people to max the event without spending a fortune or needing specific very rare cards that maybe 4% of players have. It makes you want to stop trying as there is no point chasing the impossible.

I enjoyed that it wasn’t just specific zombies in classes, and we were able to use all zombies. The tours were great, took a few tries and thought to beat. The changing from 16 to 12 was ridiculous, because of this along with the massive amounts of glitches, I literally missed maxing by 3 matches! I feel as you should’ve rewarded loyal players with chances at older zombie shards not only in the contest and prize wall, but also in using for points. Furthermore, what is going on with solo points!? Let’s see some more of those bad boys everywhere. Let’s face it everyone wants a fair shot at Cody! It was a pretty fair SD, but let’s get energy back up to 16, more opportunities for shards in the prize wall of zombies, and little more chance at more medallions.

The last milestone being behind paywalled characters instead of a grind was a shame but on the whole a great and achievable showdown to that point and the added challenges of breaking botch gems and leech gems were fun ways to encourage some different play.

the event was decent compared to other showdowns, I still think the energy needs to go away because you literally have to spend the entire day playing just to max waiting on energy to refresh. Not everyone wants to spend, but I do feel that the tours need to have better rewards if we have to spend resources to build up characters to compete then only earn three or four tokens for beating a node, that doesn’t compare to the amount of resources used to make the tour playable over all the event was good I wish I could’ve earned Gunther but that’s the way the cookie crumbles

Ya zombie month is usually a lil harder as we tend to not want to invest in them because only a few are usable outside of this month. I did like the nxt month of having a goal, leveling up bayley. Butch etc, because those rewards were awesome w a lot of time to get it done. That would have been cool for this month although I think that's what this scavenger hunt is. So ya please keep that aspect. Zgunter was incredibly hard but they can't all be flown through. I liked the character lay out and playing against him in the tour, he seems very usable.

The overall solo contest was actually quite easy to hit all of the regular milestones this event. And that in itself is always a good deal

As for the showdown side of it. For someone that has an account that’s only a year and a half old. Accumulating zombies hasn’t been an easy task. At least not ones that are very good. So it definitely made getting to the top level of that extremely difficult for me personally.

The tour side of things I like the addition to use a common ss for them as well as the rare ones. Chances are you still won’t beat the last two nodes on hell mode with them. But at least you have the opportunity to get the majority of the bonus points and what not.

overall I thought the weekend was pretty decent. No major issues

New Showdowns are still atrociously unfun to play with their staunch limitations, especially in a zombie month where most superstars don't get a ton of use outside this month. the new sources of points "Break X type of gems" are a positive edition however, and a lot more interesting than more railroading of superstar types

also the decision to nerf the max showdown energy from 16 to 12 (Unless i'm mistaken but i'm pretty sure it was 16) Is baffling with the 30 min for new energy timer, needs tweaking

THERE ARE NOT MANY VARIETY PRIZES ON THE PRIZES WALL, THEY PUT FRAGMENT OF ZOMBIES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS

They are putting too many events in the week, I do not say that this bad but they do not give time to prepare the strategies

Another point should give the opportunity to people who do not have so many wrestlers what they ask for and give him a hit to get a good prize or wrestler

This event had it's ups and downs in my opinion. SD was rough with having to use Zombies in the first slot but I got it done. It was max able with grinding without Z Steamboat or Z Gunther. I was able to grind it and got the z sub plate. Overall pretty good. Seen people pulling z Gunther from free bags which was awesome

The contest was average. I think the prize wall is ridiculous. Can't ever seem to get enough coins to earn anything worthwhile. Even when I spent way too much on a different contest, I still never had enough to get anything good. I understand you need to make money, but the price is way too high to do it consistently and "win" something. Bring back 1 star superstars instead of shards. Stop making new characters impossible to defeat.

Tgat being said, the new Walter characters is awesome, and think he'd be fun to use. Sometimes, it gets a bit over powered though

Feedback for zGeneral Showdown

Positives

• The zombie version of this Gunther looks just like his actual self so glad to see you're not using his old version. Now it would be great if you created this model and updated the Imperium Gunther.
• The energy reduction - the positive is it's lesser energy so that means once I'm done I ain't playing no more until it's refilled.
• Solo tours were good and reasonable, I mean you ask us to beat a 6SB with Gunther with an outdated zombie but atleast he came with a +6mp which made the experience not as painful and was a bit of a challenge to get this through.
• Survival tours are fitting with the Zombie theme so was interesting to play this mode again.
• Like the fact that the Rosey Plate was at a reasonable price in the Prizewall so that means I only needed to spend on 1 pull to get this plate and felt it was worth it to add a new plate to my collection.
• It's been interesting to have do XX damage with Trickster or destroy leech gems. Honestly I don't mind if it means taking away or reducing specific CSS requirements.
• Getting some pull coins from Faction event was nice and well strategized to give out only 9 pulls and get people to spend so they can accumulate and do a bigger pull. I did this last month and managed to get someone new, this time there was no one who I am close to recruiting so was happy with the free pulls.

Negatives

• The new revamped SD first started with 32 energy, then reduced to 16 and now 12. So how much further reduction are we going to still see? Seems like no explanation as well as to why you're doing this? Maybe this is offset by the number of CSS requirement matches?
• Could not max out the SD part of the event as I didn't have zMankind and zSteamboat, so that put me at milestone 13 out of 14. There was not enough energy to replenish to get the last milestone and was NOT going to spend on energy.
• Prizewall pricing again doesn't seem all that great. I mean it was great I got a new plate but that's all I could afford and anything else I wanted would require me to spend more and given I ain't getting anything new by spending means I ain't spending.

Nothing special other than another regular SD event but with reduced energy available.

From someone that does casually spend in the game..maybe $100 a month sometimes more depending on extra work I do month to month, this contest was alright, the grind aspect being taken away was not nice, I get having more non paywall zombies as bonus and bonus points for characters and destroy certain things was a nice twist, but turning away the grind aspect with now having restrictions on what we can use in showdown doesn’t help everyone as a whole but to certain groups, I understand that those matches could be done before moving up to the next league, but even then, the blog doesn’t relay that information as well, we hurts the community overall…I understand the need to make money as you are a business but when events like this and others that have been done before begin to exclude players that don’t spend or are not able to and eliminates the grind ability even in field contest, doesn’t look good overall as a whole…enjoy this game but when forcing spending as a way of being able to play is a bad look…thanks for taking the time

MY views on General Decay Contest :

Pros -

Gunther General Decay loooks awesome graphically. Nicely Designed. Loved the wild west theme. His moves are fresh and unique. It gives a different play style.

i liked the difficulty in tours. It was challenging. I liked the survival matches.

Cons -

General Decay contest was a fully premium paid event. It was only for pay to play players.

Showdown competition needed premium supertstars like Dragon ricky steamboat zombie to reach free milestones. So how is it free if you need ultra rare superstars ? ! Free milestones mean you get them with common superstars. You guys need to fix that.

Decay Prizewall was way too costly with respect to the amount of medallions were available to win till free milestones and in tours. It was not even 25k ! You guys need to increase that amount of medallions.

There was an issue with gameplay in fastlane tour of general decay tours. In 2nd last match of hell mode, game froze up 5 times after delivering a move.

Suggestion :- You guys need to bring Showdown events like Rocky Crossover event. That format was really very balanced. There was something for everyone in that event. You get Clubber Lang in Free milestones. If you grind and spend a little than you got Rocky 1976. And Rocky IV , Appolo Creed were for pay to players. So it was balanced. Great thing about that event was , there was hope of getting your desired milestones. I was away with only few points in rocky cross over Showdown contest to get Rocky 1976. So i bought a small pack and won him. There was hope. It was more achievable by grinding and little spending. Whereas if you look at the Decay contest, it was demotivating. I saw it and i knew that i have to spend 700 dollors to get Gunther Zombie. No matter how much i grind. SO distance from the goal was way too much. All i want to say is, you guys need to make it more achievable. I grinded for hours but i only got like roughly 17.2k decay medallion. Thats my take on this. I did gave my feedback in your surveys about making few superstars purchasble ! And you guys listened ! Thank you for that. If the goal will be more achievable, players will spend. If its like 700 dollors then only heavy spender will go for it and theirs numbers are very low in this community.

Thank you

The event was really funny in (ring) general. Tours was good except for the specific 6 stars requirement for a random guy. Unfortunately I didn't take Hunter even though it was my birthday.

Good job guys.

You need to continue on this way.
