Shear Force Showdown Feedback

Sorry I am a bit early because I will not able to experience actually I don't have premium characters.... But I love this game and play daily spend some time on it and enjoying a lot. Regularly new events make it more interesting...

The contests are fun but I just don't like that the briefcases give u the same stuff you already have that have nothing to do with the aforementioned contest. I feel if u earn contest keys u should at least win content and shards that are valuable to the contests u are playing.

You guys really need to adjust the scoring methods..to get nothing for a defensive win and lose over 100+ points every loss is beyond comical at this point

Couldn't do the premium but I did what I could in the events to help my faction contest and solo contests as well hope to see more events like it in future

Game & Events r good enjoyable but lots of time we unhappy for not getting CSS on time when event are ongoing without paid pulls I have try to get CSS in paid pulls but not get last week quiet lucky I found some good in free rewards bag I am taking strong efforts in event to grab CSS but all time unlucky

but happy & enjoy game

The Shear Force showdown represents a change form the typical pattern of late with MLC starting off bad and getting better a little each week. Last weekends event whe not as good as the fueds in December but it was a much more enjoyable event then this showdown.

What makes a weekend event fun? Actually being able to play and getting something for your time and if you spend, return on your money. The Shear Force SD is a great example of greed over value. Even with buying 8 pulls and maxing the SD competition i could not finish the gold box level on the solo event. So basically if you spend 1000s,pull the chase you get to rewards. You can't even finish the gold box milestone without a mega pull. everyone else, regardless of you roster size and the thousands you have spent in the past. You get nothing. Im glad for gamers there are other businesses models from companies that have ethical standards. Microsoft was hated for years but Scopley makes them look like angels giving away products.

Another problem with this event is the fake or unobtainable prizewall items. I guess this is why it's classified now as a "carnival" game and no longer a "RPG." Marketing bait and switch, only lotto winners get it and even then its if your spending 500 to 1000 per event. Just buy a ps5 or Xbox and delete the game. Better use of money and it actually has some value past next month.

I have noticed that where I place in most events, top 500 to 1000 in solo. One wod think 100x 10, should put me around the top ten faction range. If I'm getting nothing who is actually getting these prizewall items. Are they even real? Or like the Grant Camping fiasco are they rigged to allow certain players to be given the rewards.

Another thing, in writing my reviews on other media platforms i noticed that Scopley claims to have 19 million downloads. This is another scam, based in the number of factions and the rankings of where me and my factions are placing this must be the #1 deleted game from the app stores. The #1 deleted game! Based off how bad they treat the player base, the un helpful and rude support and the illusion of being able to advance I'd say the #1 deleted game is a more accurate description of what WWE Champions and any Scopley game actually is.

It will be nice when consumer law catches up with these pirates.

Ask yourself do you want to be one of the 19 million who tried and deleted the game, stopped wasting time and money here or one of the 15k fools who try to get ahead against the unscrupulous and cheating antics of rigged loot and prizewall.

good over all , was possible to make the haymaker mile stone , great rewards , if you spent you got more , well done

Good points:

First, SOLO CONTEST: I see people saying you couldn’t make the last free milestone without the premium characters. Yes you could. Ok, your faction needed to hit the goal too, but you could get the beefcake item for the scavenger contest through the ‘any’ requirements and Lawler. So that was a positive.

SHOWDOWN: Linked to the above, the SD requirements at the moment are good. It’s very helpful to have “any” Orton/Hart/Pac etc. It still means that the prizewall is heavily paywalled, but solo contest isn’t. Which is good.

FACTION Contest: again, this was achievable without it being a “talent up.” I made my 1% for the faction without levelling any 6Ss. Good.

TOURS: were good. Tours are always good if they include one guy that ‘everyone’ has, and the important tours (with solo contest points) had that.

Milestone rewards: again were generally good in terms of resources etc.

BAD THINGS:

The main issue again was the prizewall medallions. I suppose there is an angle here where they are ‘premium’ rewards past the milestone rewards however in terms of prizewall there is NO reward for playing and grinding the game. I maxed everything I could and I barely had enough for an ultimate strap. It’s a joke. And deeply demotivating. And despite “listening” to players nothing is changing here. It’s very poor. Your insane valuation of those tokens (5000=£100) is something to do with this, but that means that you are valuing “Hitman’s battle armour” at £800. Serious question, have you lost the plot?

Anyway, besides that, good weekend. 7/10.

i liked that the tours on offer this weekend were doable with css stars that included free posters rather than paywall. I also liked that I was able to hit max on individual showdown event really quick and easy compared with other showdowns which have been long drawn out affairs. I wasn’t pleased that you had to max faction contest to max solo, I don’t agree with needing your faction to max to benefit solo. I think some kind of other rewards should be put in faction contests instead of solo points. The prizewall as well for this event was very below par and yet this has become the new normal. Most players have become dissatisfied with prize wall coins on offer/costs to spend as I end up with same tokens/coins every time and zero chance of the “good stuff”. Overall gameplay wise this showdown was a good event but the rewards aspect was below expectation. Hopefully you’ll listen to feedback from the players around this. Thanks

Not able to play premium but regular showdown was good but need to improve rewards. from last 4 to 5 showdowns, after a certian level we are not able to level up so missed reward from very little points. because of that it seams boring...

Feedback for Shear Force Showdown

• I guess there's now another version of Brutus Beefcake, although he doesn't interest me all that much but sounds like he's a strong HOF so will probably be more excited once I recruit him. Until then it's a meh from my perspective.
• Solo tours CSS were good I suppose where there wasn't any that felt restrictive.
• Prizewall is another month of disappointment where I previously voiced how Showdown Scrimmage actually had good prizewall, whereas with the change to SD the prizes have just been appalling and only coming away with 20 shards and some measly resources.
• Managed to hit milestone 13 of the SD part of the event and called it as I didn't have Anvil, Brutus and Shawn. I could tell grinding out all my energy wouldn't have achieved the next milestone so was a nice easy SD weekend for me.

Overall, this is a copy paste SD from the last few months with no change so unless there's something new introduced, there's really no point of saying the same thing over and over in terms of feedback.

SD is starting to be a boring event where due to the limited energy and the calculated milestones, it's easy to see where you're likely to land so that I can free up my weekend by seeing if there's no further milestone I can reach then I might as well just call it and not waste time grinding out every bit of free energy I can accumulate because it would have ultimately been just a waste of my time.

Overall I enjoyed the Shear force showdown. For me the advantages were:

The bonus superstars required for the tours and the event were mainly easily accessible therefore the milestones were obtainable.

I ended up with over 1200 shards so hopefully Beefer will be obtainable in the near future.

More prizewall tokens were given out, I was able to purchase Chelsea shards.

As a character very happy to see HOF Beefer, Shame that his other characters such as Disciple or Booty Man haven't made it to the game yet.

The faction event being easily completable and containing solo points to help your faction mates.

The amount of HOF tokens accessible in milestones continues to be very pleasing.

The main disadvantages for me in this showdown event are:

I'm just not a fan of the new showdown system where energy is capped, I much preferred the old system where unlimited energy was had and you could hit bonus milestones via nonstop grinding, I feel this penalizes grinders.

The prizewall containing plates that are completely unobtainable, what is the point in adding them for so many coins if we only end up with 7/8k overall.

Burnout in regards to showdown events already happening every midweek now happening at the weekend aswell, somewhat overkill.

Overall I thought it was a very good event and HOF Beefer as a character looks very good, hopefully I can recruit him in the near future.

the prizewall needs fixing, still way to high of token cost for the average player.. also th tours should’ve been any HOF superstars, it’s really not fair to newer players not to have 90% of the HOF contest superstars. You should be able to use whomever you have to complete it. But as usual if the whales have no issues nothing wilL be done

The solo event was good, with there being multiple css on the different levels, allowing for most people to have at least one. The rewards were good.

The sd superstar contest was a little off putting as you had 3 or 4 super rare posters needed for points. Without energy restrictions, I probably could have grinded out at least 1 more milestone, but the time it takes to refresh energy made it impossible.

The prize walls have become a joke lately. Even the decent, not good, not great, but decent rewards require too many tokens to obtain. I haven’t been able to get shards for at least 4 prize walls.

The last thing I have to say is that having so many faction and solo events rely on some form of TU, but not giving us resources just feels punitive. I had to do just enough in leveling up my 6s posters to get faction points, but still leave myself with enough coins to do the feud TU event the next day. I’m not suggesting that you need to give out tons of coins or other level up necessities, but more. There has to be a better balance between requiring us to use resources and replenishing them.

Due to the changed Showdown system it is easier to achieve lower milestones than before, however it is nearly impossible to get the last milestone, without the necessary contest characters. And there are at least 1 or 2 premium characters which are quite hard to get and the provided shardsin the special offers with the loot pulls is low and expensive. The 250 extra points for a specific class/era is not a huge bonus with the limited energy system, this bonus should be extended at least to 500 or even 1000 points.

The rewards from the Showdown are okayish until the bronze chest, the silver chest around 1.5 million points usually gives only some PW currency or/and some energy which is not really motivating towards the final milestone, so I usually stop at 1.25 million where I get the points for the solo event. No real motivation to get the next milestone and eventually then further push for the 1.8 million reward. There should be more rewards for the silver chest at 1.5 Million for sure. I think there used to be at least a small bag with shards for the current superstar, however this time it was only 50 PW currency. I stopped and did not bother going further 1.25 million points, because it is hard and time consuming to reach 1.8 million with no real reward at 1.5 million. 

The loot is a huge disappointment, you should not previously added free MLC characters to a paid loot. Instead it should contain various shards for various superstars introduced during SD Events. I want to get new characters with pulls not guys who I already got free from other MLC. The luck is also demotivating, I see nearly the same guys pulling the characters from the bags whereas I receive everytime the shards. It is the same with the loot, always free superstars in paid loots, at least sometimes it is a fuse-up. Put at least 5 star silver or gold posters of those free characters in or just simply shards for those premium characters.

The difficulty of the Showdown is adequate, it should bring some challenge, the change of the perk system makes it interesting. The limited-tours provide also a challenge if you only have the free character, but usually there are 2 other extra characters from which 1 is usually easier to get, therefore the tours are not frustrating as much. However this time the challenge tours with 1 nodes in each difficulty mode did not give good rewards, I liked it more when you could receive bags with shards and not just 1 bag with HOF tokens. 

The start and the end time for the SD is I think for everybody acceptable, maybe you could increase the limit to 20 energy or reduce the refill time to 20 minutes or 15 minutes.
