    Just very very disappointing. Especially for those in the UK, who are handicapped for two of the fueds due to timings. We just couldn't make any headway

    Not only that, the solo points seem off, as most only reached the bronze chest. Are there plans to release the needed points?

    Just came here to say this feud point format was crap and the solo milestones which are usually achievable weren’t this time if this continues you have ruined this game just a little bit more

    I have been playing this game for a few years and dislike your changes. You made it impossible to max any aspect of this fued. Not only the css you choose are behind pay walls but the 400 million warscore which was mixed into having contest supersuperstrs was dropped to like 100k per 6ss win. This would have made sense if the 400 million was dropped to 40 million since you lowered the scale for a win

    Horrible flash feud. Love this game and have done for 5 years but come on changes should be a good thing. A positive thing and more and more staple events you are messing with. Showdown changed for the worse, paying for energy come on!! Let us just play. Flash feuds where people all over the world can be expected to get up at 2am in order to be able to have any hope of maxing an event. That is even when you don’t have any of the CSS characters so still unlikely to Happen. This feud nonsense where we grind for god awful rewards are just not worth it. Can you please just once think of the players and not yourselves?! change for the better not worse

    In this flash feud, a new structure for collecting points was invented, let's figure out what's good and what's bad about it:

    Good:

    1. It is very easy to score faction points since there is a separate scale for them. And in fact, it is enough to play only 2-3 matches to score enough points to fulfill the condition.
    2. The opportunity to get a new character at the end of a faction event. (Although exclusively for first place, but still. In fact, they could at least give the first hundred shards of a new character.)
    3. A relatively new type of reward has finally been added to the feud solo event. Flash Feud bags. In which there are both plate and moments. (It would be great if 1 moment and 1 plate appeared.)
    4. Separately, you can get a bag with plates. (And there are about 3 of them in the rewards. And it’s very good that now plates, in theory, can be obtained not only from donation events)

    Bad:

    1. it is actually IMPOSSIBLE to get at least half of the solo event rewards. Getting 400 million points with the old scoring system was not an easy task, but with the new one it is virtually impossible.
    2. Disgusting rewards for a faction event. Yes, points are easy to get, but for what? The rewards are terrible.
    3. The scoring itself. The new scoring system instead of 4-5 million gives players only 500k-1 million for feud. This is terribly low considering the fact that you need to score 400 million points to close the event.
    4. Also, the technical stability of the flash feud mode itself, in my opinion, has worsened. (Several times when I won, the game froze tightly and when I restarted I was left with 1hp and my opponent with 100%hp. Also a constant search for the network.)

    To summarize, I would like to say: I always perceived the feud mode as an opportunity to play with the characters you like and get a good reward for it in most cases, since it usually didn’t depend on whether you had the required character, if you didn’t have it, you could always spend time and get the desired result. At the moment, this is practically impossible to do, and the rewards have become better in some aspects, but now you again must have certain characters, all of them at all 4 stages of the event, otherwise you will not actually receive the reward.

    How can this mode be corrected so that the innovations are more beneficial? I suggest the following options:

    1. Bring back the old scoring system.
    2. Add more variability in the choice of the required characters (so that you can not have any characters and still get the desired reward with your work. For example, do not make a specific character with a specific name, but make, for example, a certain class or a certain character, but without being tied to his class).
    3. Lower the bar for required points (400 million is an overly bent limit, 160m is the maximum I’ve seen from players, and for 1 feud the first place had only 75m points)

    I will also briefly touch on the remaining parts of the event.

    Solo roads:

    It’s a very strange idea to give a certain character with a lock in a challenge and put up against him a character who breaks the locks. In the end, the motion set could have been changed for a given character. But in general the roads are quite passable (I can’t speak for others.)

    Prizewall:

    Traditionally, there is nothing to take on the prize wall again. There aren’t even donation pools, and what you can get costs so much that it’s not clear where to get these coins.

    New character:

    Very strange but very strong. Not a bad coaching ability and era. I think many people want it in their collection.

    Summing up:the event as a whole could be quite good with a good character, an interesting new system of the Feud mode, but the whole impression is spoiled by miscalculations in obtaining points, errors, a useless prizewall and a factional event. I hope all the errors will be taken into account in the future and the mode will be finalized. For now I can give -1/10.

  • Well, to start from saying this, I don't really complain all the time, but this? What you guys have done, you have literally ruined my life by introducing this new BS feud pattern. Those tokens were like oxygen to me, and it was really fun feuding like that, I felt like a Monster beating people in the feud, but guess what? Now we got this BS new pattern, to let you know! It sucks!! And it has killed all the fun in the game!! Roll back!! Roll it back!!!

    Seriously Scopely?!?


    Why do you insist on changing the format of your events every time? Look at any successful entity in this world and understand that the formula for success isn't based on constant change. You had a good thing once upon a time, now you are just becoming the laughing stock of the gaming community because you can't get a damn thing right. Tell me why you feel the need to change everything all the time? Maybe you'll say it's because you're listening to the community and that's great, but your implementation skills are severely lacking.


    Do you not have a Quality Control department? Someone who oversees the dumb ideas your devs come up with and tells them "hey, this doesn't work". Your reputation is so poor, a reputation of mistake after mistake and nobody seems like they're actually invested enough to care about the product you're putting out.


    <SMH> When will you ever learn?!?

  • iibobbyzx

    I normally don't comment on things such as this. That being said there were way too many issues with how this event played out. While I understand that change is inevitable this was abysmal.

    First you messed with perks which ok that was what it was. The scoring is atrocious, 15k to defeat a 6ss was questionable. Not sure who did the math on this but they have missed a decimal or forgot to carry the one.

    Most of us have been playing since the very beginning and as you can see other than the trolls most agree that this change made little sense. I looked forward to feud if this is how it will be going forward, I'll likely do my part for my faction and nothing more.

    The scaling of warscore according to the contest ms was horrible this time. But also I don't like the idea connecting the CSS to the warscore competition. I think this would end in an situation similar to every showdown. Nearly every showdown can't be maxed because of the missing CSS.

  • I actually feuded twice as much as I used to and got nowhere as far as the rewards, which is crap not to mention that it felt like I didn't event provide any scoring for my faction, absolute trash

  • I liked the fact that both warscore and the css side of it have been merged into one event but the scoring and not having more than half the css has ruined it completely. Giving less points for beating a person first time and for the actual levels was well out of reach. I think if the old points system was in place ie 300k first time wins and so much for beating a 6ss would have played it out so much better. Yes I’m all for changing it up but not this way. Knowing that it was well out of reach before it started got the player base disheartened straight off the bat. Please change it back to the old way or keep it and increase the points for wins. Getting only around 10 mill points for the feud when on it for a gd chunk of it was horrible normally for the time put in that 10 mill would have been more like 80-100 mill

    This has got to be the worst setup ever. I couldn't even hit silver chest do 2 you have 2 have all css for feud. You can't even grind it out to make up for it do not bring this back!!!

  • PeteZ72

    This was a horrible event and made people stop feuding because there was no way to get to the top milestones. To keep people interested they need to be attainable without emptying your bank account. Worst feud ever in my opinion!

  • Basically to max each event for the faction you need to play probably 2-3 feuds in each round if you had a decent lineup. Then of course was the warscore which the way to really progress was having CSS. If you didn't have any CSS you were not going far in the Solo unless you maybe feuded the entire time the 4 feuds were going on which then you really needed a monster lineup for that.

    For once I am glad, that I didn't have to sit here all weekend to feud to get this insane warscore so my faction would be proud of me. I went out this weekend and had some fun, did some activities and banged my wife several times instead of sitting on a phone all day trying to stay up all day and night to feud unlike some people who are use to doing that.

    If you don't like it, leave the game. I hate that I typically don't have most CSS for a weekend contest but I'm not going to lose sleep over it and absolutely go ape sheet over it.

    There is more in life then sitting on a phone or screen all weekend to try and get 10 shards of something.

  • Feuds were one of the areas of the game I really enjoyed. You got to use a wide range of your roster, and you got rewarded for the amount of effort you put in. CSS got their own bonus rewards, but did not impact you feuding results.

    i felt punished for playing this weekend, and did not bother playing the last feud for the first time in a year

    After a great month, this was the worst flash fued event. The new scoring system just doesn't scale. I'm usually able to max the solo war score events and I was not even close this fued. Either lower the Max score or increase the points per 1st win again.

    Scaling was so bad. Rewards were awful. CSS were brutal. Last month you apparently cared about making flash feuds an event people spent more time playing and seemed like you almost saw a path to get there. This event took 20 steps backwards. I gave it a chance and will not be doing that again.

    • Warscore

    Everyone other than first getting faction points was not great. Made it even worse there was an offer on the portal for 100,000 points for $20. 2nd place got 50,000 for a 6 hour feud. That means scopely values a player's time this weekend at less than $1.67 an hour. Way below minimum wage.

    • Points issue

    Doing everything I'm over a million point away from the vhs tape. Just awful.

    • Summary

    Rate 0.75/10

    Bad design & bad execution mixed with sloppy errors made this a not fun and not interesting event. I completely despised it. There were so many bad aspects of this event I can't even remember them all.

    Pros- I'm sure there were some but I'm not spending more time digging through the weeds to find them.


    Suggestions -

    1) Perception matters. Putting out a bad blog hours late with a horrible event matters. Fixing something after the fact doesn't make this weekend any better. Every player I know has been dejected about the game since the blog came out. Morale has been super low everywhere I've been around.

    2) Scopely should invest in microsoft excel. Or maybe even get access to google sheets. And then use it. It's really easy to learn. I can suggest some tutorials if needed. Numerous players figure out the points available and compare it to the max milestone within minutes of the blog being released. No reason Scopely shouldn't be able to do it.

    3) Scopely should try playing their own game. Not with super accounts with 1000's of free pulls and characters but actual play the same game the player base does. I don't think they would last.

    4) Care. Take some pride in your work. The event and other recent events reek of apathy. The lack of quality control has been pathetic recently.

I was thankful that I did get that chest on the beginning of the month and that get me some superstars that I didn't have...the 32 was nothing for me ...but for the Mistaken that You made why I sould pay ...if I don't have tokens and all the jass that we get from this events ...what the reason to playing ....I never talk to much or being negative I am OK with what I can get for free or spend event when I get crap when I spend money...but this event is just ...I don't even have words to explain...SOLO EVENT ...WARSCORE ...THE VHS TAPE EVENT....ITHE GAME IS OVER...IF YOU CONTINUE LIKE THIS YOU WILL SURVIVE WITH THE 27 PEOPLE THAT MADE 400K ...congratulation for that you did have a really hard feud ( my last post )on this Feedback

    The game is time consuming if you want to max or get close to the last milestone in general. But now it’s time consuming AND impossible to max or get close to the last milestone. That’s somewhat irritating if intended. What was wrong with the old scoring that you felt like to “fix” it that awfully? Please reconsider your decision.

  • 1hundred

    Abysmal. I've never bothered with the forum before because I have always assumed it is a Dopely trick to get people moaning at each instead of you know who but this feud scoring structure is a worse than shit mess. How are you not ashamed to make such pathetic changes??

  • Probably one of the worst changes to an event. It appears that the solo event isn't even manageable without spending to get to the gold chest. Only 27 people maxed the battleground competition. That should tell you how bad this change was. Hopefully you consider all the feedback for the next events.

    Yeah, this isn't it. This contest was one of the most botched that we have been presented with as a community. Not only does it basically guarantee that all free to play players and even moderate spenders have no chance at coming close to hitting meaningful milestones, but even the players who had all of the css most likely won't max because of how badly they botched the scoring. I would recommend actually doing the math before signing off on these changes, because it's terrible for every type of player in the community, especially those who can't spend. Also, factions have always been able to grind their way to first place....that's what feud is.

    This has been one of the worst flash feuds I have ever seen. Being a free to play mostly player the requirements of so many premium css cards just for points was absolute hogwash. I don't haveva single one of the said required cards as many didn't. This was a huge disappointment. What the hell happened to the point system for tokens and requirements to get prize wall rewards.

    I do like that the team is able to help with showdowns for points to help with required cards necessary for points especially since I don't have many of the required ones. Please fix what ever you guys broke. I had to use all of my med kits just to try to play this horrible event!

    As a long time player and feuder, I definitely wasn’t pleased with the overhaul to Feud this weekend. By the looks of the standings, it seems as of right now maybe 150 -200 people actually maxed the weekend solo event, and the majority of them probably made significant purchases to do so. The points and rewards just weren’t in the game this weekend and it was very disappointing.

    There was no amount of grinding hard enough most people could have done to reach final milestones after the rework of the points system. This week’s event was the first VHS I’m failing to get. Luckily, the collection contest for me is already maxed, or I’d have more to be upset with how this weekend event treated us.

    Well, scopely, break out the score card and rate yourselves for once... did you pass or bust??? Hoe are there 30 css I do not own on the Bodacious loot wall many in all sections. I do a 40 pull and for 100$ I do not get 1 new poster... thats worse than playing the lottery as if you bust there you can still do 2nd chance. But no I just took fire to a $100 bill. Do you know that's 6 hrs of work almost a full day for many of us .TO GET NOTHING.... NOTHING. WHY should we continue to feed a monster that does nothing in return???? For 6hrs work equivalany you should get guaranteed something. I am 2 chests away from gold after spending 16 hrs fueding. I should have 120 pulls compendsation for the amount of work I put into fued by your math for the price of 40 loot coins
