Hitman’s Quest for Awesome Showdown Feedback

I would really appreciate if all past MLC items and redundant items in my inventory could be cleaned up I have stuff from 3 years ago im sure I'll never get to use. Also I've noticed that faction bosses and fueds appeared to have slow downed in recent months. Makes the gameplay awful!

The faction event started to become a grindfest as we now are facing 6sg opponents. Players who are able to leave their games with their Stun rotation on auto are rewarded over those who may not be able to sit down and keep their game running in the background. These games can run long allowing more gem breaks per match due to the larger health pool. It has been very competitive due to the top 10 having a chance to open up this weekend's skillplate.

With the top 10 being a major incentive this weekend, it comes down to how many players in each faction are able to leave their phones running the background to break as many green gems in a match, because of this, I feel this weekend does not respect your time as well compared to other weekend events. Cap the amount of gem breaks in the faction events and have a different method for tiebreakers (such as earning sd coins/deal x damage with y).

Same thing for me. Never been an issue in the past.

I beat the tours
Nearly made it to milestone 13 in SD Contest,
Faction Maxed Faction Event
All portal points claimed
Still 80K short of Gold Chest
This is my first event miss due to something that isnt my fault in 3 years. I know points would not have been short had ScottGoBlue not been banned from here. This sucks because the medallions I am short from the gold chest prevent me from unlocking a future premium poster in Logan Paul without spending.

There has got to be a fix for making sure all the correct points for Gold Chest in events are accounted for. Now its like all those who are short are also going to miss the Canuck Buck and all the rewards associated with Gold Chest.

once again showdown is terrible because you are required to have rare CSS. You have turned showdown into a 100% pay to play with no point to grind.

The weekend contests are getting frustrating.

I’m also growing frustrated with getting shards for the same tired superstars when I cash in my Keys.

I think the characters from the month ago with Triple H and this one with 
The Miz shouldn't have any tasks in the SD because hardly any of them already have them, 
so it's better to take other characters so that you also have a chance of progressing in the
milestones

So nothing really new to report. I have pretty much been at the same spot with the last 4 showdown events. I liked you added extra superstars to the contest points, but 250 for technicians. It's pretty much 250 for the last couple and you would have o grind a lot to get more levels. I'm not saying make it a pot more but some extra so you don't have to play so many showdown matches with really no soda bolts to have because you ran out. With that said still play the game and thanks.

this event was pretty much typical copy paste sd event. The css for sd were fairly rare, so was difficult to get to the gold chest that was advertised as top “free” milestone. Would have missed out by 10k if the extra points hadn’t been added to the in game store. Also, the sd defense was kind of limited and had a hard time getting a streak going because defense would loose after 2-3 offensive wins. I got up to 9 once and once I won tenth match, defense lost it.

This event is setup so you have to sacrifice 1 of 3 parts of the contest, unless you have 2 of 3 rare cards. It is impossible to make solo points, faction points and keep up with the showdown points. I couldn’t even hit the milestone before the 700k solo contest points in the showdown event. That is the first time I missed that milestone in ages. There is too much going on in these events to find the right balance. The CSS has to be more reasonable, or add more of them. I guess I should have used showdown coin promoters in retrospect, but than your giving up on showdown rewards rank. I guess that’s the gimmick though.

+Love the new Bret poster. It's great.

-The faction event was a chore with the new 6sg meta. Takes quite a bit longer to defeat the opponents and is slowing down the grind.

I was a massive advocate for the new style of showdown, I loved the energy system, I loved the fact we could climb the ranks and play at our own terms and no more stupid bonus coins. However this current system of unlimited "break this and break that" for a faction grind is silly! I believe having a cap on these type of grind aspects should be implemented so its not a 20 hour auto fest! Its boring

The event its self…

Tours

Easily achievable rewards with decent CSS

Milestones

Happy that 100k was sent out to ensure f2p achieved what they needed to. No incentive for me to go big this weekend.

Showdown CSS

Stupid that even the 1.8m is massivly paywalled now. I stopped at around 1.2m as the milestones just wasnt worth the effort…100 medallions? lol

Overall

A massivly forgetable weekend which i can see turning many players even further off the game

I always like showdown events, but there are some points that can be improved.

The thing I like about showdown events is that showdown is a relaxed version of feuding. One vs one and gives you a possibility to check out different superstars and explore tactics.

This event was fine besides the hitman granding. Most Hart cards aren't really good and with the damage points you really needed to grind.

Besides the grinding there were a lot of premium characters listed and an expensive Brett Hart. Would love to see it more open with more "regular" superstar cards needed. Would also change the usage of several superstars which are ignored for now.

Too end with a positive note, good work on the 100k points in the shop. Humans make faults but good that the points are added.

This weekend's SD was pretty good because it allowed me time to spend with family. I completed all the CSS I had for SD on day 1 of the event. I spent the rest of my energy refreshes breaking botch gems for the faction event, when I had the time. I believe I made it to milestone 12/20 on the SD event but to be honest the milestone 13 rewards was not worth pushing for anyways.

I would have liked to have seen the ability to buy more energy for in game coin. I think we could only buy a couple energy 1 time for 3 million coins. It would have been nicer if you updated that to say 12 energies for 20 million coins. I would have done that type of purchase, but again the milestone rewards for 13 and 14 were not worth the effort anyways.

I actually enjoyed the tours this weekend. I completed all of them with CSS. The hitman tour was a welcomed challenge, but I was able to complete it. I was surprised I did not hit the gold chest in the solo event, so I spent rubies to max. I would have kept those rubies if there was communication that there would have been a free 100,00k solo points in the store, later that night.

The event store items were nothing exciting. With what I completed this weekend I ended up with 3,800 medallions. (Not including what I will earn for the faction event.) The shards cost too much for very little medallions. The 3 cheap plates are outdated. I wish there was more life to these store items. If you dedicate time to completing the events and only end up with enough medallions to buy strap parts or tokens, this just feels very lackluster.

Overall, the event was good, but the store was not.

Showdown has become more and more worse from once by far the best contest of the month. They are plenty of factors that need to address thus far for the better in game experience.

SD Itself :-

• The actual event is now massively behind CSS paywalled. The vast group of players can’t even max the free portion. Forget about getting to the bonus milestone. The 1.8m milestone is designed to be paywalled nowdays. I stopped at around 1.2m because the other part is heavily CSS based even the grind wasn’t worth the effort. For what 100 medallions? Instead try to install the Premium CSS to the main solo event. So, that those are willing to spend get their value for the money and keep the SD event fairly attainable for the rest of the playerbase.
Another thing i would suggest restoring points for defensive wins. This game mode had strategy at one time. We can no longer face faction mates and energy is limited. Tell me why? We still need this energy feature when you couldn’t really benefit a single action from it. Let us earn something for building these strong rosters and defensive team.

Tours :-

•Easy to compete ofcourse if you got good CSS requirements as usual decent rewards and points.

Prize wall nd offers :-

• Value for money has been gone out the window. Showdown used to offer us a chance to play and spend a reasonable amount of money sometimes just under 100$ to earn a brand new skill plate and if you get lucky the weekend poster itself. But, nowdays it’s no way near possible to get something valuable. The cost is gradually increased somewhere between 2-3X to buy atleast same rewards.
• Previous SD character shards are too rare and overpriced. Another reason SD was so popular was that players could earn the new poster within 1-2 months if they completed all the available tasks in consecutive showdown events. Nowadays, even six months later, shards are only available in small amounts and at high cost, meaning showdown characters are highly difficult to recruit despite participating in monthly events.

Overall, I would said all the positive aspects of showdown events have been stripped away. Restore at least some of the popular features and give people an incentive to play more and keep coming back. Added that 100k to the store as always appreciated just to ensure f2p based would have achieved atleast the minimums. Tbh If i didn't play a single match this weekend, I genuinely don't think I would have missed anything at all.
