Faarooq "Acolytes Protection Agency" Debut

I’ll add my feud feedback here as well because there is not currently a spot for it. The faarooq event was fine. Not great but fine. It was possible to claim the first few milestones without a ton of effort just doing the tours which were relatively open. This is an example of how the tours should operate going forward. Mostly open but bonuses for using specific characters. Rewards were acceptable but 4sg tokens being maybe a milestone lower would have been appreciated. The issues come in two fold. Firstly 5sg tokens are being held firmly behind a pay wall. For the most part that is understandable however everyone should have an opportunity to gain Atleast one 5sb in the short term. Give everyone a taste and they would be more likely to push in event and even consider some additional spending. As it stands unless you are will to pay a larger amount to finish off all events you are stuck at the same place before the release. The other the usage of straps in the tours. Consistently the opponents on the tours have maxed out straps with the optimal bonuses on each medal and we are starting to see this leaking into hard mode as well. If the meta is going in this direction in order for the playerbase to feel comfortable and be “happy” there needs to be an increase in strap bits for players. It is not feasible as it stands for players to match the straps of opponents even with the strap pass.

Feud ran mostly smoothly. It was a slog without certain characters the base is used to using (namely hogan and Zaustin) but I enjoyed having to use other options. There did seem to be an uptick in red ring issues this feud. Not enough to make it unplayable but enough to be annoying.

The boards seemed like they were in the AI's favor during the feud. I think I used much more HP this feud than in prior feuds.

Also the matchmaking during the feuds seemed a bit off and were not always fair.

Another day another spend a mortgage to compete... I liked some of the resources of course but they are basically diddly squat in the larger scope of things. Once again, the pay wall evolves, but the resources we get do not.
