    I highly dislike the change to the SD Showcase point format. 10 matches at 1000 for 10000 pts is extremely tedious. At least before you could knock out your CSS matches and then run normal matches for the rest of the SD. This new way will require a significant increase in matches being completed just for CSS. And you have also reduced the SD energy available from tours and the Showcase making this SD not enjoyable at all. I'd much rather have 1 match per CSS and have all the points tied to that one match so you can use the SS that you want to use. Bad enough the first lane is restricted these days.

    I have yet to be able to play a showdown match because I started the event with 0/12 energy. On top of that energy is supposed to refresh every 30 minutes is is nor, it says my energy won't refresh for 3 days. I highly doubt this will be fixed tonight which is the only opportunity I get to play it during the 24 hours it's active. This same thing happened during the last showdown event and I sent in a help ticket and got the usual we will look into and obviously is not fixed. So now I get to lose out on rewards because of an issue on your end. Scopely needs to make this right and they should give me the rewards for all but maybe the last milestones. This is a constant issue with you guys and having consistent issues you dont fix. You keep putting out new content and can't fix the issues that people are still complaining about.

    Honestly people need to be fired. We need a new team of developers.

    I know I'm shouting this into an abyss, but I'm doing it anyway: I don't have time to do multi-day Showdowns with never-ending special tasks in the middle of the week. If I quit playing this game before Scopely stops producing it...mid-week Showdowns will be the reason why.

    The introduction of Energy means we basically need to get started playing right away to keep the replenishment going. I'm fortunate to have a job where I can sometimes get away with this but then of course it actually interrupts my productivity, especially with the litany of tasks and restrictions (I can call them "bonuses" if that is the preferred term) I have to consider before starting a match.

    And in terms of "constructive criticism" - PLEASE stop burying the event screen that lists all the tasks a half-dozen taps away from the SD screen. It's infuriating.

    Your developers all need to be fired. Whose idea was It for the extreme rules portion. This is absolutely garbage and on top of this crap I Have to do try to do extreme rules in the during survival matches. This is the crap players hate it needs to be gone now.

    I am enjoying this contest. The extreme rules provides a challenge to work through.


    I like the different ways to.earn points and how each day has been unique

    The very 1st match on normal took almost 15 minutes to complete.Extreme rules is bad enough,but you made it a survival match too.Talk about having no fun at all.... and the reward was a measly 100k coins lol. You guys are killing this game.....Do better

    As a wrestling fan first and foremost I will say WWE Champions is a game I truly enjoy playing. Realistic game play, rewards are worth my play time. The one thing I like we get to create factions within the factions you get to meet alot of great people who share the same interest in the game as well lots of informative game play that can make your experience even more enjoyable. In these factions camaraderie is formed which is definitely a high point. Only thing I wish the developers would consider is a Friday night feud events where the rewards are basic resources and low end tier rewards. This would allow more new players and inexperience players to gain game experience and grow their roster all the while letting the more advance players participate in more competitive feuds.

    The first thing I will say its that this is the worst contest you have put out in a very long time and reminds me of how frustrating this game was 4 to 5 years ago. I was looking forward to the week-long end of the MLC event that you have been releasing the past few months starting with the NXT Gear Contest.

    The biggest issue I have is that the Prize Wall is totally useless as you don't get enough currency to buy anything off of it. I am currently ranked within the Top 100 of the Contest and have less than 20,000 Prize Wall Currency. This makes me feel like I wasted my time on this contest, also it is not worth buying Prize Wall Currency from the shop as it will at best get me 100 Shards. I would rather save my money for Sherri this weekend.

    Whoever you have that is calculating Prize Wall Costs and Currency given out for this Contest needs to be moved to another task. The best fix would have been if there was a 0 dropped from the Prize Wall Items or add a 0 to each Currency Amount Given out during the Contest and in the Shop. Then this would have given some incentive to max the Event or buy currency similar to the same Zombie Event last MLC.

    The Extreme Survival tour from today was actually more boring than Showdown Mode or the old MLC Kick-Off Blitz Events. Also if you pick Contest Superstars for these tours going forward, make sure that they can actually complete the Extreme Portion Part of the tour and as of right now Judgement Day Finn Balor cannot beat Hell Mode as he does not make enough Blue Gems.

    As repeated earlier I like the End of the MLC Week-Long Events as the week grind is worth it to get a new Character, Skill Plate, Gear, or a Good Strap. I think the backlash from the tour from today could have been mitigated if the Prizes were worth the effort.

    You'd think it would be really hard to make a GAME feel tedious, soul sucking and an all round steaming pile of a mess. But trust Scopely to do a top notch job of making it so

    If the thought was "how do we make the new extreme rules mode even more tedious?", congratulations. Combining it with survival is brutally boring.

    Can we just stop with the prize walls now? Everything useful is out of reach. Its just not fun. Just use the same prize wall currency all the time and let us save up from event to event. That would make it at least worth trying...because maybe after 3-4 months I can get something I want.


    EDIT I do like the structure of the showdown points. Using class type or breaking specific gem types is way more fun than using a specific character.

    Energy has to go. It has no place in this game.

    Can you please post the address of the server farm your servers are hosted at? I want to send a bag of animal feed for the hamsters that run them, cause they're obviously dying. Multiple times during this SD I've had "There has been an error with the server, you will be removed from the match", and I've lost SD energy from it. The very first survival match I tried also froze. I don't know if I want to even bother trying to get through survival AND your crappy Extreme rules thing. You claim to listen to our feedback, and literally no feedback is saying that Extreme rules is good, so why do you keep putting it in? At least before you could quickly end the match before it became an issue. Combining it with survival is atrocious. Do better Scopely, for fucks sake do better.

    Edited to add: It's just happened another two times. This is the worst server issues I've experienced in a long time. This is unplayable.

    Oh look, another edit: Trying to do the survival matches, it's a roll of the dice if I can actually do anything when the Extreme rules kicks in. Sometimes I can do it, other times the game just stops responding. The only way you guys can fix this is to give EVERYONE the rewards (including bonus) from all of the survival matches, and do it before the event ends\extend the event. This is just getting stupid now.

    Honestly decent event.. the 3 different showdowns were great.. the structure was pretty good..

    However the medallions on offer for what you need are pathetic.. and the offers aren't even enough to be tempting.

    The other rewards other than the tech rock shards are absolutely paltry

    Their is no value here at all.

    I'm milestone 23 and I'm little over 20K medallions so all this for some coins TP and strap bits.. can't even buy a strap cos I have to buy 3 at a time.

  • Triton666

    The rewards are really poor. I'm at 21 and could go further but there is nothing to buy so there is zero incentive. Is the idea to put people off playing?

  • ExceptedSeven
    ExceptedSeven Member âś­âś­

    I maxed all three days of showdown competitions and made it to milestone 22 of 25 and got about 16k medallions which isn't enough to get any character shards. Very disappointed to put in that much effort and walk away with nothing helpful. Tours were fine until the last day where you had 12 survival matches which was a total drain to do.

  • Steen101984
    Steen101984 Member âś­

    This was the best showdown in my 2 plus years playing. Almost always I end up 2 or 3 milestones short of the gold chest, because I don't have all the css characters. With using such a varied amount on this one (class rather than specific character) I was able to max with a purchase. Not only that, but I used more characters than ever. Rather than just always using my beat character and putting a crappy css in the second slot, to never use. Well done!


    One suggestion though, for the superstar medallions on the MLC, please change it on league 17 and up, so that the medallions are given at 200k,, 300k, 400k and 500k. One each at these. That way people who don't max, but score more than the 285 needed to max in lower levels, still get Orton or bischoff or shawn. It's not fair to score 425k and get nothing, when someone else, one league lower, scored 285 and got 3 tokens.

    By spreading them out, it still takes effort, but they're attainable through grinding.


    All in all an awesome event though!

  • TommyMc

    The prize wall for warflames contest is an absolute disgrace. 3 day showdown grind and tours but can't get anything other than basic stuff on the prizewall. Even if you max everything with all contest superstars you are still no where even close. This is a true pay to.play event that will cost hundreds of dollars on top of wasting all your time.

    This contest was okay but I think you should make the posters achievable level for f2p as I calculated and even if we complete all solo milestone we can't even get miz poster.

    And also make leage 16 milestone for mlc lower as it is impossible for a f2p to complete 500k milestone in mlc at least make it 300k or 350 k

  • Lukeario23
    Lukeario23 Member âś­âś­âś­

    The prizewall value seems to have deteriorated a lot this past month and this event is another prime example example. Even if you max the solo event you still need to spend a hell of a lot of money to get anywhere near enough medallions to get anything decent. Chances are if you’re willing to drop that amount of money you already have every single one of them characters on the prizewall. There’s no incentive at all for those who can’t max. Putting things at a £500 price point isn’t attractive to the other 95,5% of the player base. I get your target market are the whales but there are players out there willing to spend and you’re not enabling them to do so with terrible return for their money. Not everyone is going to drop 300 every event, it’s not sustainable. You’re more likely going to have 3000-5000 players spend £20-50

    Passing along some feedback on the Mid Week SD event and the recent Extreme rules tour:


    1. The tours were generally not well regarded. Repetitive, boring, tedious. Omos on hell was an unfair node given the CSS requirements that cost most players a cash kickout. The 10s timer was annoying. The entire tour probably took 1.5h to clear, which is excessive. Nobody was pleased with it, nobody wants to see it again in the current format. Most of us would rather cheese our way through a hell tour with a sub-par C-Tier CSS character like usual. Why not make the final node a hell/extreme rules tour that would be fine. 


    2. Prizewall. Baseline rewards for prizewall that had us do 3 evenings of showdown PLUS a lengthy extreme rules survival tour, we should have got more as a free baseline reward. 


    3. Combining the 2 events above, it was more time investment than a feud or boss with lesser rewards. Reward balancing for these events should be reviewed.

    This was a normal midweek SD event in that you had to have the rarest pay to win characters to have a shot at it. I was glad to be able to finish the daily parts of the contest without having to have every one of those pay to win characters but it would be nice to see things like this be more grindable for everyone who plays the game and not just those who spend enough to get those pay to win characters.

    The bad side to the contest was after maxing each daily SD and putting some money into it I barely have enough rewards to get a pack of shards for a character. I didn’t max the whole contest but would think it would be balanced more and the rewards were not just bait just to find out they are completely paywalled and unable to get.

    As far as the tours go they were par for the course aside from the Extreme Rules which were overly difficult to have a shot at completing without spending. It is one thing to put us up against an opponent that can take the player out on their own but rigging the match to make sure a player has as little a chance at it without spending as possible just takes the fun out and makes people not want to play.

    This was the worst event that I have played in this game. It was a bad idea to change the 1 day SD Format to a 3 day one WITH NO ENERGY MAX RESET AS ONE ENDS AND THE NEXT ONE STARTS. I started the second day of the SD with zero energy cans as I had to spent all that i had on day 1 to get to the milestones.

    instead of 1000 points per CSS multiplied by 10 for 10 matches, maybe double the points per match and cut the number of matches by half so that not everything is a chore in this game?

    The survival tour on the last day was an abomination. Even some of the content creators have pointed out how it was such a bad idea to stack low MP guys in a survival match where you have to sit through 10 rounds and eat a billion moves per said turn/round.

    THE EXTREME RULES WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A DIFFERENT GAME MODE BUT IT IS NOT. YOU LIED TO US. IT IS JUST A DIFFERENT/NEW MECHANIC INTEGRATED INTO LIMITED TIME TOURS(LTT). DEAR SCOPELY, PLEASE LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GAME MODE AND A GAME MECHANIC. YOU GUYS ARE GAME DEVELOPERS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

    I CAN’T even think of anything positive out of this event to be honest. The amount of shards that we are getting are as always minimal and not really helpful.

    i did not mind playing, pw coin for this event was lackluster even for shards. i got 10k pw which got me resources wasnt able to get enough or wasnt enough to earn for shards. yeah i still think sd coin should cost more so you can kill off whatever you need to do with out having to spend a lot of time on it. mixing extreme rules with a 10 round survival took longer then it needed to be, most players like to be in and out not spend hours doing in game stuff

  • Intiobot

    Showdown format was interesting. Tedious because of the energy setup because it doesn't reset when the days change.

    Extreme Rules should be a modifier for extra resource rewards, not a mandatory play for contest points. Omos on Hell was beyond frustrating. Relax the rules maybe(10 moves instead of 5 for the higher reqs)?

    The SD midweek event was really tedious and gut punching. The fact of the energy not being reset at the 2 PM reset as other mentioned meant planning to max the day event, but little else unless you spent on the energy packs.

    Seen a couple from my faction get NOD Rock in the bags, but the randomness of the shards you get in the bags almost made it not worth it. I guess we should thank Scopely for 1000 shards of NOD Rock, but I’m not. I really hate having half, three quarters or within 100 shards of a character because getting those remaining shards takes FOREVER!!!

    The prizewall pricing really has to be changed and lowered significantly. The prizewall prices are so high, you are really inflating the value of some things. Look back at why I don’t like shards anove and see the price of the prizewall… FOREVER at the inflated price of the prizewall. If I did not have Gunther, I would have had him this time. But I took all of the 1k tp bags.

    As I mentioned in another SD event post, I tend to really ignore the revenge list after getting comfortable in the top league. I like using the coin promoters since the fix where they count in the scoring of the event and saving up in case I need the shards for getting someone to 6sb or 6ss. Hopefully when League 22 comes out, more superstars that we can earn will change.

    The extreme survival matches we ok with 1 exception, Omas. Having to try to cover all the reds and if you are able to, it will drop in more when u make your swipe. If it wasn’t a one charge character it would not be so bad. In my opinion, the matches made you think about what you did and who you used, which is kind of nice. Line I said, Oma’s felt like a dirty move from scopely
