Lurking in the Dark Feedback

So we only get 3 prizewall tokens for completing the tours and the minimum "price" on the prizewall is 4. I did 12 blitzes and no 4th token. Scopely keeps getting worse with every contest or event. We as a community complain because we as a community are the ones affected by your arbitrary decisions. The lack of care for the player community is little to none and it shows on a regular.

I was lucky and pulled the 4SB King of Pop from the 7th Anniversay prize bag. Which really helped the feud score with a limited hours to play this weekend. One down side is earning the 3 prize wall coins and unable to gain a fourth coin from the 33 blitzes bag. Making them just useless inventory.

The contest itself was fun to play through. I personally can not complain on that front. However it seems the errors,bugs,and borderline lapse in judgment is found in the reward aspects of all things(imagine that!) Feuding with the team is very fun- no issues there at all. However when you climb the ladder and conquer prizewall milestones,youd expect to have enough currency to get SOMETHING off the wall without spending, right?? It seems that the coin prizes increased by one coin. With the lowest item on said prizewall being 4 coins,and only 3 were given as rewards though milestones,it would appear that a forced spend is in order. Ill let the "visual" glitch for title bits slide,only because its already been addressed . Scopely, you can do better- youve made several positive moves in the right direction. Some of this silliness can absolutely be avoided. This is the best year yet of this game,of the community, and (current)wrestling in general. Lets try and make your role grow even more into the positive. Just remember, its always better to maintenance manage,than disaster manage.

Just generally dreadful all around.

First of all, faction event. I can imagine the argument of "But you guys said you wanted something other than level 6 stars!!!" and while I get it. I appreciate a deviation from that, basically having the scoring method outside of warscore essentially just spending is an ugly, ugly look. Even if you might have a little treasure trove from Tapjoy if you have the means to use that effectively, I know myself and many other aren't just sitting on a mountain of IGC. I'm sure some people will read this and think "sucks to suck" and that's fair. I just don't like it at all.

Solo points for CSS continue to be down from where they once were, and now making it so you can't even GET all the solo points if you're missing a CSS (say perhaps a frickin Invis Cena) is also pretty deflating. I didn't mind when the CSS component kinda skewed to more "If you have all the regular cards, you're cool. If you get the weekend card, here's some more goodies." In the grand scheme of things after everything is done, the extra 400k wouldn't really do anything for me. But it's still a general feel bad to have myself (and many many others I know) feel bummed that maxing CSS isn't really possible because y'all just opt to be weirdly pick and choose of when you add a bonus scoring method to compensate for a lack of CSS. (I will say I did notice you could get 1.5/1.9m missing a lot of high end stuff and that IS pretty cool/neat for other players, though.)

Also right before I started writing this, I saw the notification of the updated prizewall and that's fine whatever I'll take my little coins and TP. Better than nothing, but the fact that so many people got to today and realized "Oh hey, these coins are useless, huh?" It's just another example of just no quality control in dang near anything these days.

Just a generally deflating event. Perhaps there's a level where my own personal issues cloud my judgement with the game, but I couldn't motivate myself to do anything with this. I don't know if this is trying to bring people back down to earth after the wrong cases went out earlier this week (another example of horrendous QC) but nothing really sums up a great anniversary and another year of playing Champs quite like hitting your warscore and closing the game!

This weekend had a lot of downs and a few ups as far the contest.

So lets talk about it-

• CSS.

What's up? I have a pretty solid roster and wasn't able to max. What's up? Requiring one of the rarest characters in the game is to be able to max is pretty extreme. What's up? Along with a handful of other pretty rare characters. What's up? It wasn't good. What's up?

• Weekend Character

What's up? The direction of every single aspect of the weekend needing the new character is so frustrating. What's up? Bonus Tour. What's up? CSS. What's up? Solo event. What's up? War score. What's up? Premium Prizewall. What's up? I understand the need for bonuses for those that go out of their way to obtain new guy early but there should be some things where you're not instantly crippled if you don't have it. What's up?

• Prizewall

What's up? The prize wall was pretty bad. What's up? Completing well over a 100 mil warscore and not having anything to buy? What's up? It sucked. What's up? Fixing that hours after feud ended was just a horrible look. What's up? Makes scopely appear apathetic and lazy. What's up? Nice to be able to get something for the time spent, but the prizewall was bad enough I wasn't super upset. What's up?

• Faction Event

What's up? IGC as the main point scoring for the faction event seemed like a cruel joke. What's up? Felt like scopely just wanted to shut people up whining about having to level 6 stars constantly and spending coins every day. What's up?

• Warscore

What's up? Wasn't crazy about the blitz tickets, but I really like that there have been stretch milestones added. What's up?

• Limited Time Tours

What's up? Tours were doable. What's up? Very decent CSS for tours compared to the css event.

• Milestone Medal issue

What's up? Not even sure what happened there other than the in-game message, but just another screwup to add on the list. What's up?

• Overall

What's up? Just an overall kind of blah averageish at best start to the month. What's up?

Rate 4.5/10

PS. Did you find that whole what's up gimmick annoying? I couldn't agree more. Please do something about the news popup soon. You took a feature that could have been decent (even though there are other things that have been asked about for years now. Yo strap filter, where ya at?) and made it the bane of every player's existence this weekend. Typical bad implementation of something possibly good and everyone now has a bad taste in their mouth.

I have no clue what’s going on in this game at the moment.

You put out a message saying that you’ve fallen short on standards, that you will change… then nothing changes and arguably gets worse. Here we go:

PRIZEWALL

This was stunningly poor. You gave away 3 tokens but didn’t put anything for 3 tokens on the wall? What are you thinking? This has been an issue for a while now. They aren’t prizewalls at all, because it doesn’t matter how much you play the game you can’t generate currency. Even with the blitz grind another token is not guaranteed. It is SO bad, you don’t listen or try, and it’s massively distespectful to the players. Unreal.

FEUD

The feud itself went pretty smoothly. Restrictions were not terrible, especially for the bottom row. My gripe again was the perks. We’ve had three months of these perks which you have to get for the MP reduction, but in gameplay terms they are pointless. Oh no, I can’t use one character: oh no, I need to change someone’s moveset. They add nothing to the experience and only take away. Very poor.

Faction contest:

well it was good that there wasn’t a talent up aspect, but the prizes were still very poor and not motivational. I dunno, not bad but…

Superstar contest

Big step back here by removing the PH (or equivalent) bonus points. Beyond that, it’s good that you can get most of the solo points from the “any” milestones:

Warscore

mixed feelings here. The blitz tickets post 50-mil. On one hand, seemingly a poor prize. However they did get me the 2 tokens I needed for the free pulls. On the other, I can see how a lot of people wouldn’t bother to chase or see the value. Prizes up to 50 mil good as always.

Tours

were fine.

Blitz

seems like extra work, but not such a chore to push through. Interesting alternative to another tour.

pull:

This game had the worst pull offs I’ve encountered in games. So so poor. But also expected from you guys.

OVERALL

A weekend contest is not just about the main event. The feud was good, but if you can’t get feud right after 7 years something is wrong. Everything else was very poor. If it truely planned this way, shame on you. I really hope that you are just this bad at your jobs. It either way is not a good look.

I don’t leave feedback on here very often because I feel like my normal issues are always stated by multiple others much more eloquently. That being said, I was annoyed enough to comment myself today.

I have a pretty hefty roster size, 10.7 million to be exact. I haven’t NOT maxed a feud superstar competition in over a year. This one I failed to max. It’s one thing to use obscure/hard to get css, but completely leaving out a grind component was a terrible decision.

Like, why would you want to discourage people from playing? A ton of players who would’ve been feuding for most of the event just hit their war score and turned off the game. I was one of them. Does this company not benefit from players actually wanting to actively play?

I’m admittedly a hefty spender, but you can’t just cater to this type of player. You need to encourage the grinders and free to play base as well. It was just pretty crappy overall.

The tours were great, I loved the blitz, loot pulls were the same poor odds as always. For me, it’s just that Superstar Competition that left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m someone who needs to do everything I can and to just have to throw my hands up in the air because there was nothing I could do to max that contest made me feel disgusted.

This feud feels very middle of the road for me. Not many bad things happened and also not many good too.

Tours, blitz, feud, superstar, warscore, prizewall all of them feels ehh for me.

I see superstar contest css requirement( invis cena) got discussed a lot but for a person who never to to max superstar contest due to not having all css, it doesn't feels much difference. I just think of it as a rare moment for the top end players to feel what the rest of the community feels. Not having 100 matches(of a specific but commonly available requirement) to grind for more points in superstar contest makes me miss it.

Warscore extra milestones for blitz tickets is okay but meh for me. Would have love if there was a extra prizewall coin or two together with tickets might be more attractive to earn those in my opinion.

Prizewall and currency is very limited(especially with no 1 coin option at the beginning, nice job adding that option later). I understand the marketing strategy of having the currency available if we want more but having RNG deciding how much we can obtain from the prizewall selection is not my cup of tea.

Faction contest points available in warscore event is great. Keep it going as it is. Not a fan of spending cash for more points in faction contest though. Cash is one of the most limitedly available currency in game for f2p and non tapjoy offers users. I hope this event is one off happenstance for testing out what options are enjoyable for players in faction contest in feud.

Overall, I don't hate this contest but not loving it either. Hoping to see better contests in the future.

The Naka looks great. I am really digging this new style for the MLC posters. Naka seems like he would be the perfect fit in "The Last Dragon".

Speaking of Dragons, that new entourage for Rick Steamboat is nice! I really love seeing these updated trainers and coaches. Please keep these going.

The feud was fine. The bottom row worked out great. There was not overlapping of classes, good job there. No issues with the CSS contest. I was able to hit 6.3 million which gave me up to the 4th from the top milestone. I loved the variety of the CSS competition. I think I did not have 3 of the posters, so pretty good.

I pushed for the 100 million warscore but after the 50 million there just was no life to those rewards. I just was not excited about the blitz. Out of all the bags, I ended up with only 1 more medallion so I went with the trickster combo. Nothing exciting.

The tours were fine. No issues there. The challenge was a challenge but fun.

**I did notice, this go around, I was only able to get SB Kevin Owens to 2SG** so getting the steps took about 8 tries. I think there was a lack of KO shards the first week of the MLC. I hope this gets even out as the MLC goes on.

The Blitz is sooo not fun, at all. Auto playing 15 matches for little reward was a drag. Please no more Blitz like this after a Feud. Keep the tours. Blitz just not enjoyable at all.

Over all the Event was fine. No big complaints. Please look into the Kevin Owen shards. We ended up with allot less this go around. Thanks again!

I didn't have any issues with this feud this past weekend but the only thing I would still rather have a tour on Sunday's instead of blitz.

The contest was decent. There was an issue with the prize wall but you fixed that by offering a 1 token claim. The biggest problem is the constant technical issues that happen with every event. It gets old constantly having to force kill the game and restart it. Especially when you are trying to hurry through fueds. Over all, a pretty decent event.

Shinsuke looks good, seems like a solid Trickster, maybe not as good as Brutus or Solo Sikoa but looked promising, people that pulled him see to be happy with him.

Tours were good, was able to get all the CSS bonus points even though my best Shinsuke is 5SG Acro (had to use a prop or two). Amazing that with the right trainers the free 3SB Showboat KO can beat a 5SS turn 1. I'm glad those KO tours will be a breeze this month.

Feud was fine, had none of the issues others have mentioned about the game crashing or freezing. Greatly appreciate the Trickster tokens from feud rewards this week, the 6SB tokens are back too. I guess they're only missing from Flash Feuds for some reason? "Stretch" milestones for Blitz tickets were not the most enticing stretch rewards, would have been nice if the skill plate bag was brought back for 100 million too. Give us something extra for that last milestone to make the grinding feel like an accomplishment (unless you get another Uso Cap)

The worst implemented part of this feud by far were the medallions/prizewall. Getting 3 from feud rewards continues to be a kick to the gut when the token packs start at 4, meaning you really need to get lucky with the Blitz bags. I managed to get 1, which was the first time I've gotten one of those medallions since the Sunday Blitz was implement. A lot of people were angry about the lack of prizes that cost a minimum of 1 medallion, as evidenced by the other feedback here. I know that pack later but why wasn't it there from the start? Please remember that most players are not going to be buying medallions in the shop nor will get lucky with the Blitz tickets.

Other than the sour taste left in my mouth after that prizewall debacle, a fairly good Feud event.

I give this event a c.

1) should be able to grind fues superstar solo points. Not just have super rare roster.

2) not enough fues medallions given for sure.

3) should have had a premium skill plate in last milestone that's not a bonus.

4)There are so many wcw wccw and awa legends not used, I would rather have them.

5) make the non flash fues 24 hr.

I think my very favorite thing about this. Feud was the faction event and how I didn't need to level up a six star. I never have been a fan of that way of doing things having the level up someone or multiple people that I didn't really plan to. I hope it stays that way in few and other events where we're unnecessarily. Having to level people up just for the sake of doing it. It would've been nice if there was a cash loot that did have just shards of people or resources to also spend the cash necessary for this event on.

I thought the few itself was good. I do like the perk system that is now there in feuds.  Sometimes you can't use everyone you want, but you can get creative a fun aspect of challenge to the feud. I also like seeing the extra items in the stretch. This time around it was blitz tickets. Even if there's no blitz and it's just coins TP in tokens. I like that there's some rewards to push you to keep you going.

The tours and tour requirements were good. I happen to have everyone that I needed at a high enough level to complete it. And I do like the blitz on Sunday instead of the regular tour. I hope this remains the same it's just a little something different.

The prize wall was alright but I wouldn't mind seeing shards of people on the wall. Even if it's just a little amount at least I can build towards recruiting them eventually. There are a few people that I'm under 25 shards. Away from recruiting in the have been for many many months.
