Call the Manager Showdown Feedback

At this point I'm convinced your just winging it with no plan or roadmap..

Pointless having a faction event with garbage rewards.. you want players to spend on other things.. i.e coins and TP leave the plate alone let factions scrap over it.

Noone is gonna go mad for 5K medallions that doesn't even get you close to getting the card.

And I certainly won't be dropping 4 megas to get her

I really like Chelsea Green. She is definitely the bleed queen! I am honestly not a fan of extreme rules style of match.

i have been playing for the last few months after almost a 3 year break. I really like all the different events and the way you can skip the daily tours with the press of a button.

Ridiculous to hide behind paywalls. I understand that you’re in it to make money, but grinding it out is supposed to be done without spending. There’s no way to max anything or get her without spending a lot of money, or a rabbits foot stuck somewhere uncomfortable. Just when I think it can’t get worse, you’re there to overachieve. And why can’t we have an all female loot? That would be better than getting a 4 star crappy player that no one uses anymore. Especially when you’re in a higher league.

Can't believe I'm saying this - but maybe the best SD event in months?

I'll admit I went in super pessimistic based on last month which felt wildly paywalled in a month of steep costs, and in general it feels like SD has gotten a but pricier with the (objectively bad) changes to things like the CSS competition where you are massively punished for not having the card.

While it's not the cheapest by any stretch of the imagination, I've seen a handful of people in my faction who are looking pretty solid to be able to get her after faction rewards pay out, all for less than a mega. Sure, spending is involved, but it feels like many more people were able to get the card this weekend for a fraction of the spending that has been required in many recent events.

I feel like there was a solid stretch where the SD card was gettable if you had all the CSS for like 20-40 bucks, and I'm really hoping we might be venturing back more into that realm.

I can understand the gripe of some of the top dogs in not having the plate as a guarantee, but I still personally think the medallion payout is still pretty generous for being able to acquire the card for minimal spending.

Everything else was kind of par for the course, I thought the tours were pretty straightforward, I thought the SD event itself was fine, even if it was mostly the neverending wall of Zombie Biancas after a while.

But yeah, this was a pretty nice one! I'll personally say the morale has been low after last month being so pricey and this 12 Days event being a total and absolute dud, but this showdown was nice to get reeled back in a little bit and get back engaged with the game. Hope to see more like this!

Ok, on my train, having finished everything as best I can.

here’s the feedback:

pros:

Solo contest: you could get the Chelsea Christmas card with work. This makes things immediately better, after a few SD weekends where you this was nigh-impossible. I had to level up some characters and use some props, and the faction needed to max the (poor) faction event.

Tour CSS: I think you guys have this down now. One ‘common’ superstar pretty much each tour. Open to pretty much everyone. If you don’t have tech beck, or tech Rhea then it would’ve still been an issue.

Showdown: The main event was attainable (free milestones) without all the characters. It was probably a bit easier as it was a straight modern/modern requirement but this also meant that lots of people had 6SS characters. But yea, I think it was good.

Prizewall: did have something for everyone. No real complaints here.

CONS:

Premium showdown: Still doesn’t sit right with me. I know you need premium content, but this seems so beneficial for the spenders. I just don’t think you need it.

Faction contest: I still don’t think you have faction contests right on any weekend. I like the idea of a break gems task, BUT overall this was a talent up. Again. Just before a talent up. Again. At least there were solo contest points in the milestones, but the contest and prizes were lacking. Seriously.

But… overall that was it. Not a bad weekend for F2P.

7/10

Hello, my first opinion is that whatever B or C tier css is required in the weekend, it needs to be moved or gem boost. 2. It is very difficult to add prizewall medals, thus without spending, we will never be able to complete the shard. 3, More coins will be given after 6ss above 5sg lot of coin needed 4, there is a need to change stuff in faction event 5, and there should be ways to get more shard loot coin

The only complain I have with this event is the showdown. but as long as am able to reach the Chelsea green top Free Solo milestones. Then all good.

Tour is good

all the reward in this event suck.

The SD weekend event was good for the most part. I did not even try the loot this weekend because I have so many tricksters to work on that Chelsea could get lost in the shuffle.

I have did well in the solo and maxed the superstar event with a grand total of just under 1300 shards. I do miss the days of getting a SD character for under $100 with the medallions. Believe last time that happened was Cody Rhodes, finish the story.

The faction event to me was really terrible with the rewards offered. Probably among the minority, but I’m happy there’s isn’t a plate in the leaderboard of this event, especially for the top 1. I would have loved to see a couple of premium bags, gold chests from the superstar bonus milestones or bags from the leaderboard of plate or medallions included in the top faction milestone to make it more worth my time.

The prizewall again was too expensive and prizewall coins are difficult to come by. I was maybe thinking about spending to get the 3ss Chelsea Green poster, but not at the astronomical $200+ to get her. I’ll just take my first Ronda jacket plate and some strap parts and call it a day.

The SD tournament itself was great and having the speed up perk available was much appreciated. I am not even worried about characters like zBianca with a Veer Plate or Asuka with a Judgement plate anymore. It goes to planning and strategy to beat any of the ladies. I have been dealt some lumps, but I dealt more damage and wins than losses.

The tours were good with the CSS requirements, but the extreme rule matches seriously is a hinderance and is unnecessary as it can be skipped. If you really want us to play into at least one cycle of extreme rules by breaking gems, it’s simple. Just make a good reward if you were successful in completing the extreme rule task. Whether it’s solo, faction points or extra premium shard bag, it would entice me to do extreme rules, but not doing it for free.

Overall this SD weekend is good, just need to stop being stingy with the rewards, prizewall coins and prizes themselves, especially when one maxes the superstar event.

The tour was fine but you never leave any actual chance for a free player to ever come anywhere near clearing the milestones even if they have the correct chase superstars. It's very discouraging when an event is clearly only achievable by spending money. It comes across and cheating and unfair.

I can see if maybe there was a 1 star Chelsea as a milestone or cheaper loot wall prize that lesser leveled players can attain and then a 3 or 5 or 6 star fuse up in the much higher milestones or loot wall. I think that would make it more fair Ave enjoyable for everyone who doesn't have the luxury of spending real money on a mobile game.

I feel these events are made for people who have a lot of money to spend on extra abilities to help compete these challenges.

my only issue again is prizwall for whats up there , the cost and how many tokens are given. Should be better rewards or higher medallions given out , even for for average spender it wasn't enough. Showdown competition was lackluster if you didnt have sky or green there was no way you could grind for the last " free " milestone , i think this is a lie and should revaluated, got second last milestone even with grinding on energy given out i was not making the last mile stone to collect the holiday card

The Showdown in of itself was fine, it would be nice to be able to grind to higher rewards though.

The prizewall feels lackluster in terms of shards for superstars.

The faction events where we have to spend massive amounts of coins on 6-star upgrades are getting repetitive and it's not really a competition of playing but how many coins are you willing to dump.

Well it looks like the same old showdown event and I was not a very big fan of this one there was a major flaws you guys really need to fix

1 if you land up in the top 500 of The showdown event not in the solo event but the actual showdown event your award should be much much better. What you should do is offer the contest Superstar even at two-star bronze to the top 500 players and you would have a lot more people spending money just to get there and you're more moderate not super huge fenders it's been money to make sure they got it duh

2) there is not enough tours per event you should add a few more

3) prize wall was okay but how in the world are you ever supposed to get enough coins to actually get anything on the price wall terrible

4) I like the setup of The showdown okay but seriously you have got to tweak it

Overall grade.... D

Format of this weekend's Showdown was nice - reasonable requirements (modern era) and it was reasonably possible to max even if a player was missing a Contest Superstar, which was a welcome change from what we've come to expect from a weekend Showdown event. Setting up the bonus tiers also made chasing them more enjoyable/optional and less of a chore.

Your recalibration of the prize wall from last month is...discouraging. Before last month, you had generally created what I and I think many other players had considered a fair arrangement - a 1600-shard poster could be acquired for less than $100 USD.

I urge you to be careful on how you setup the economics of prize walls. It's clear you're trending towards making these more costly...you're daring people to spend more or not to bother at all, and you might not like which way that ball bounces.
