    not enough points in the faction event, solo contest was great, pretty easy to get points

    need more points in the faction event, solo contest was great, additional ways to get monthly players

    Faction points are not enough for the time we spend on the game. Increase the points to increase the number of players maxing the mlc.

    This will be the last time I come to the forum to say this, since I'm clearly just shouting down a black hole - weeklong Showdowns are going to be the sole reason I leave the game, and I think my departure may be imminent. I'm not saying that to puff out my chest or "demand" change…I'm just affirming the reason why I'd be calling it quits after seven years of daily logins and an embarrassing amount of money spent.

    I am a U.S.-based, full-time professional. I like to play this game competitively, and my ability to do that is compromised significantly when Showdowns begin and end in the middle of a business day - Energy replenishment requires immediate and then hourly participation to maximize efficiency; hitting the Leaderboards requires a player to be active and attentive in the final 30-60 minutes of the event - this is to say nothing about CSS requirements and new gem-specific tasks littered throughout.

    You added weekly Ozzy Showdowns this month, on top of a mid-MLC/midweek Showdown, and now we're entering five straight days of Showdowns again with two midday endpoints on Wednesday and Friday.

    You've overdone it, and left me with no choice but to ask myself why I'm spending emotional energy worrying about this regularly while I'm at work.

  • This content has been removed.
  • The new format doesn't help all the players... As the game is improving with the new method of monthly events.. it's turning out to be a game only for spenders .. and the game is turning out to be like pay for the game and have fun...

    The thing about Boss Battle Faction Events is that it heavily favors Americans and others with the same time zones. As an European, when I wake up all the faction tasks are already completed and I have no chance to collect the 1 % needed for that faction event.

    I would suggest that all the event character matches would be unlocked at the beginning of the event but not the whole match count at that time point. After 12 hours have passed, then the other half would be free for grabs.

    I'll give you an example of what I mean. If you need to beat the boss level 11 with any The Rock for 50 times, make it so, that you can only do the first 25 matches during the first 12 hours and the next 25 after that without a time limit. That would give other nations also an opportunity to participate in the actual events and not feel left out every single time like now.

    Same goes for the starting event of the month. 2000 matches have been always completed before I wake up. So I need to stay up late to get a few points or grind like crazy when the match limit is lifted.

    I love the idea of Ozzie’s gear and the plates. I hope these medallions will be attainable while still getting our midweek contest. Just what I am hoping for but event is amazing!

    I'll gladly call out Scopely when they're being ridiculous with their CSS as I have hundreds if not thousands of times, but seriously… What part of this contest is pay to win outside of the bonus milestones?

    There's actual, useable characters for the tours, and you don't have any of the ones checked below that they've freely given out? I had to use Roman yesterday and I beat the tour in a snap.

    EASY open reqs to max the faction contest with OPEN requirements for the showdown. You're telling me you don't have a single character on your roster that makes or destroys black gems, red gems, purple gems, reinforce, multiply, or trap?

    Brutus and Ozzy were free, Tiffy is free if you actually play and grind, so….. what's the problem here?

    Is it because you and/or your faction don't want to put in any work, but want everything for free?

    So far, the event has been fine. I feel like I'm running very low on certain TP but it's because I'm using it. I do wish that the moves the boss in boss battle does were skipable like that Rock'n Roman move. There is just way too much gameplay required to keep up with everyone else and it's been very hard to manage every single event(especially weekends) along with family time. I wish things were once a month instead of twice, or if things could at least last longer than 24/12 hours. If limited tours and feud/boss/Showdown became a week long thing, I believe it could make things easier for us. That is of course if factions don't raise the minimums.

    I am really enjoying this event! The tours are a pain in the butt but are a real challenge so its pretty fun. I also like the fact that I am able to get the PW tokens quite easy for the ozzy plate by playing the showdown event (Ozzy is really dang good at 6SS)!

    I also liked the faction event being a pure grind one(always a plus) so thank you for that one.

    Overall very big thumbs up from me! Good event, nice prizes and fun event thanks!

    What happened with Blitz to the Extreme? I'm at 907k / 999,999 and it says my rank on the leaderboard is 962. Less than a thousand people have gotten to the Gold chest, which is supposed to be the "Free" milestone. Had no issue getting the Gold chest in the last few, so what's going on here?

    Also, has compensation ever been delivered for the missing points from Talent Up being broken in the first hour of the event? It's been 72 hours and I never got a message about it. I'd rather not be wasting unnecessary resources to max out this event when we're now being expected to spend coin and TP every freakin week.

  • There wasn't enough time on the faction event which made me miss so many points I cannot finish the solo competition even though I have everything else completed even the bonus milestones for showdown but overall the css we're good picks and I was able to knock those out with ease the only issue were the solo points within the faction contest.

    You know, I've enjoyed most of the Summer of Darkness this far. Aside of course from your weak league system denying me months of rewards while I sit and wait for nothing. But this week, seems you're prepared to try and hold back everyone that's fought all month from 6sg ozzy. For someone like myself, held back from most of the best rewards despite being well over 500k pts MLC, who doesn't get to draw event cards like...ever. Fighting this hard to obtain something from effort just to watch as you try your hardest to deny it the last week is infuriating. Stop gatekeeping your lower players. You're already costing us 6sg draws and more every month for no reason.

    I feel like there was a lot crammed into this final week of the MLC with two different Showdowns w/ an Ozzy Showdown in between, Extreme Rules, and then the SummerSlam tours. Conversely last week felt very light on things to do and I wasn’t playing as much.

    I think there could be better pacing of events throughout the month to spread out playtime more evenly so there aren’t times where we have nothing to do in game and then times where we have too much to do.

    I’m not sure how far in advance the MLC is planned out but I would assume the entire month is mapped out and then maybe tweaked a little throughout the weeks. If that’s the case I think more care could be put into spacing out things to do more evenly throughout the month.

    The last week-long event of this month. Let's look at it in more detail:

    Showdown:

    This time there are as many as 3 of them in a week. 2 belonged to this event. The women's showdown was actually closed with the absence of 4 css characters (yes, taking into account additional points, but it was closed).Faction Showdown is very simple since the requirements were essentially a character of the month in the position of defensive characters. And the last Showndown Ozzy could have been done without him. There are no questions about the remaining elements - no bugs, freezes, or crashes were found.

    Faction event:

    A very simple event with good prizes. It was even possible to get a new gear for Ozzy (of course, I didn’t get it or the normal required shards. As usual). Overall the event is simple and easy to complete. I hope there will be similar events in the future.

    Solo event:

    Not bad roads for a solo event. I think all players have css for these roads. Considering that the maximum difficult level of the enemy is 6sb. Additional characters are generally free. For them, too, simple conditions and opponents in extreme rules mode (although for roads with healing gems it is very difficult to play with the required characters, I hope there will be no such conditions in the future). It’s very easy to get a golden chest in this event, I think most people also received several bonus ones.

    Prize wall:

    Everything seems to be not too bad. A new die is cheap, in fact you can get it for free. Character shards and 5sg characters can also be obtained for free. As are resources.

    Bags with event coins:

    This is the only negative thing I can note. The chance is from 50 to 2500. In my case, for some reason, it very often leans towards 50 (maybe I’m not the only one, of course). I would like to see at least 250 next time.

    Conclusion: A very good event with very good prizes, and if you’re lucky (I’m usually not) then with excellent prizes. Everyone could gain something useful from this event. I hope in the future there will be events of this type, but without so much Showdown mode. Although anything is better than blitz, let there be a Showdown.

  • I have been really enjoying this, Free Ozzy is a wonderful surprise.

    The summerslam of darkness week-long event there’s alot of things i wanna talk about so, Let's just straight dive into it;

    Solo Contest: It definitely contains most of the rss and medallions for the mid week prize wall. The required. CSS were also less rare this time around. I believe everyone should have those guys atleast at 6sb. Additionally the extreme rules matches were also easy to finish with someone who could match those required gems and conditions conditions (Nonetheless the heal gems requirements might have given some difficult to finish with those required characters, but that’s the name of the game. I hope there will be some more exciting conditions or modes in the future). If you play everything and compete during weekly the gold chest is very easy obtainable in this event, People like me who willing to spend some can also have great rewards in those several bonus milestones.

    Faction event; The whole event was very simple and easy to max out. The rewards were quite unexpected. Literally you can even pull the new ozzy gear for free and many more. Unfortunately i didn’t get lucky but alot of people pulled his gear that’s crazy good but i’m satisfied with the rss and stuff. The event was well designed and easy to max. Hoping to get the same treatment ahead.

    Showdown Itself; First things first this week long contests were highly based on the SD competition. There are like 3 different SD’s in this week. One is ofcourse this week’s ozzy own and the other two are tied up to this event. I really didn’t like playing showdown much i’m more of a feud person but this kind of treatment makes me want to deduct my daily schedule from the game itself. It was quite the task to play the showdown matches continuously for like 3 days straight, Yess there is capping in the name of energy but still i didn’t like the fact we have to stick to the screen and play for all weeklong just to compete in higher leagues would be better if we simply got some more tours or any other kind of competition which may feels like a refresher. Moreover there were no crashes, errors or bugs to be found. The quantity of showdown we are getting these days are not something i kinda enjoy in this game very much. You guys should take a right step in this direction.

    Prize Wall; It contains everything for everyone. Definitely liked the distribution among shards,plates or other resources. And the crazy part is you can get all that for free.(Except the ozzy’s gear which is way too expensive for reasons we all know but his plate was banger and you can grab it at a very cheap cost)Basically if you play all your tours that being if CSS and have competed in all the showdown tournaments you can get shards and 5sg characters absolutely free.

    Conclusion; The event was full of rewards and some surprises and some people might walk out with exciting prizes for sure. Definitely loved it, I must the it’s the best week long in the entire month really really like all the prizes and goodies just one hinder that we get to bust your head with those continuous back to back showdown tournaments that’s the only downfall for me. Although it’s still far from the worst days. I can see myself almost lost out by this but still we can’t really judge the whole event on a slighly less painful thing. So with that things in mind i’ll give this event a solid 7/10.

  • I thought the week-long was overall a good events events which have a prizewall with a lot of choice is great for all players and giving the players the power to pick what they need for their roster. The whole Ozzy theme has been really fun and was a nice change to the typical wrestling themes.

    What I didn't like, was doing 3 different showdowns over the course of 4 days, I don't mind showdown, but variety for me is key to engagement. Maybe some different tours or a midweek boss battle would've made for good variety.

    But the marathon of showdowns aside, I really enjoyed this event and the level of prizes available even with no spend.

    Reviewing only the summerslam of darkness weeklong contest

    I've had no problem with the grinding required for getting rewards but for beginners it's hard because

    A) you dont have many of the contest superstars and

    B) the points are just a bit to low

    I love the that you can buy Gunther , randy and lashley from the prize wall cause the whole point of playing is to get a better roster but at this event i wasn't even able to buy Bobby lashley which only cost 3000 medallions it shows the lack of points were getting and i hope you fix this next event cause i would really love to buy those posters

    I'm ready to do the grinding if you fix this

    I don't have any issues with free players getting less rewards than paid ones but I'd be really nice if free players can get premium loot on milestone rewards at events I'd be worth the grind if thats the case

    At The end of the day i don't have any big issues with the game whatsoever but if you can make it a little more worth the grind it will be perfect

    This is my Honest opinion it's not because i want to win the giveaway
