The Foot Clan Weekend

So the weekend event was very chill in a good way. With how busy we were during the weeklong before the SD event, this was great. No stress at all.

I walked into this SD weekend event with only a couple of the CSS. I was still able to earn Shredder Roman and the Erick Rowan VHS Tape which was my goal. Depending on my opponents, I ended up using Roman quite a bunch which was great. Very enjoyable being able to use a new poster during a SD event.

Side note: This was the first time being able to participate in a 24-hour SD event. This was a cool feeling. I really had no idea what to expect but it was fun regardless. I was able to max the SD milestones for this 24-hour event. Very exciting.

The tours were good. I was able to complete them all except the Cody tours. I did not plan on getting Cody this weekend so there was no issue for me. Majority of the tours gave you more points towards the solo event and by the time I earned the VHS tape, the rest of the bonus milestones were a plus. Anything I was able to earn past that was a win for me. Nice work.

The prize-walls for both the weekend and weeklong event are great. There is A LOT of variety in all of these. I will be walking away with a couple of new plates and Fatu shards. Thank you to whoever put Jacob Fatu shards on the prize-wall. I was only 75 shards away after 2 months of working and I will finally be able to get him. Thank you!

As stated in the weeklong feedback that I provided, this event was great! I loved how the weeklong continued into the weekend event. I really had no plans getting anyone else from the TMNT roster, but Shredder Roman was amazing. You all did a great job on this event. These are the types of events that make me want to continue playing champs. Thanks again!

A very bizarre mixed bag of a weekend, for sure.

I'll at least start with the positives: this weekend faction event is an all-time classic. Obviously I'm seeing this from the angle of someone in a top tier faction, but along with some solid spenders, we have a large contingency of f2p/incredibly low spend players. Seeing so many people be able to potentially get Seth at worst for less than mega sort of hurts my insides with how much I personally spent the first time, but putting my feelings aside and seeing things for the great good, it's really genuinely great for some people who don't have the money to burn chasing every new goodie still be able to get them through some team effort.

The faction spend events rolling ad nauseum is a bit exhausting, but this IMO was one of the best I've ever seen from a reward perspective.

Seemed like a lot of people who didn't spend in my faction were able to get the free Shredder milestone in time for the premium SD which was a great feeling. It was a welcome surprise to see so many people get in on the Friday fun and get some extra rewards, although I have no idea what was going on with the stability to make the SD keep disappearing for like two hours, haha.

Given the weeklong stream of content, the upkeep on tours and blitzes continued to be pretty easy and streamlined which was nice to not teeter on the edge of constant game engagement burnout.

But perhaps for some points of criticism:

As mentioned here already, the availability of Casey masks was incomprehensible to me. Few offers available with masks and resources that were not even close to enough without hitting the RNG lottery just feels rough. Why weren't there Casey masks in the regular showdown? Why not throw up a limited exchange of shredder masks for casey prizewall? It eventually just boiled down to needed to spend on the portal for packs of pretty low value and it just felt bad.

I also think some of the scaling of points was bizarre. Generally, the stretch goal in the SD CSS competition is what? 700k of an event that's usually like 15m? A pretty solid amount! This weekend? 140k. Literally two loot pulls. Coupled with the premium CSS needed in cards like Casey and OTC, the reward for trying to grind to make up those milestones just did not feel worth it at all to me, personally. Could have been a lot worse but a few solo points and a couple Shredder masks just felt like y'all dropped the ball on the value.

I guess related to the lack of value in pushing SD, locking the extra energy behind Casey instead of Gacy was kind of an ugly look.

Overall, things could have been a lot worse but a lot that I would hope y'all would reexamine for trying to do stuff like this in the future.

• Make the distribution of event points make more sense (SD CSS milestones)
• Make the weekend prizewall actually accessible
• Faction event still a great one for my taste. Looking forward to seeing what kind of goodies my teammates can come away with this weekend.

Just a week that kind of stings, about 75m for me in the solo contest overall, about 1000 masks from Cody. Just the lingering fear that these cards will go the way of Rocky and GB and poof. The IP crossover stuff is always kind of fun though. Curious what could possibly come next and ready to get back to our regular Wyatt programming.

Great weekend! (and week long!)

PW - With decent spending you could get good prizes!! Either it be a character, plate or moment. I think there was something for everyone, especially for higher end factions. It really values people to be in a good faction!! Though, if you were outside of a top 50 faction, you are kind of at a loss… not sure on a fix for this, as it's always peoples choice to be in certain factions. Weekend over weekend, I see the star fragments on the PW, but they are always such bad odds, 20 fragments each? It should have better odds, or fixed amounts.

SD - I understand the business model for the SD and notoriety leaderboard. But having unlimited energy due to purchases, makes it WAY too crazy at the end. Maybe limiting the amount of energy you can buy could help with this? Or a "cool down" between each fight?

Technical - having the showdown timer be off throws a bit of a wrench in things. But it was fixed quick enough to allow people to adjust for it

SD Contest milestone - 140,000 Solo points for reaching 1,800,000 was a little bit lack luster. This equates to 2 loot coins. It should've been more enticing, that way people can choose to grind notoriety leaderboard or the contest.

Like to start off by saying the TMNT weeklong event was great for both F2P and P2P players. Combining the weeklong and weekend contests made the event feel more connected and rewarding. A big highlight was the grindable Shredder Roman, giving the community access to a top-tier superstar—something that's not common and highly valued. Adding new moves to existing TMNT superstars also brought fresh variety and made them more useful.

• Shredder Roman Accessibility
  • Making Shredder Roman attainable through grinding was a fantastic move, providing real value to players and aligning with community preferences.
  • The free skill plate and high-tier rewards for F2P players in the Foot Clan Solo Contest were well-received.

• Prizewalls
  • The inclusion of three separate prizewalls catering to different needs was a creative and appreciated decision.
  • Balancing prizewall currency through event milestones and leaderboards gave players more control over their progress.

• Premium Showdown
  • For the first time ever, I could participate in a premium SD event. Moreover, allowing a large portion of F2P players to participate in the premium showdown was a significant improvement, reducing the feeling of being locked out.
  • The timing of the event, coinciding with players unlocking Roman, created a seamless gameplay flow.

• Faction Events
  • The Goongala faction event stood out for its reasonable milestones and well-balanced leaderboard rewards, offering a positive experience for players of all spending levels.

Areas for Improvement

1. Casey Jones Contest and CSS Accessibility
   • The requirement of Casey Jones as a contest-specific superstar (CSS) for the weekend tour was overly restrictive, making progress difficult for many players especially to get those extra SD energies.
   • The lack of accessible alternatives like other versions of Cody would have been a more player-friendly choice given the number of Cody's we've received in the past.
   • Prizewall currency (Casey masks) was too limited and heavily paywalled, which frustrated both moderate and high spenders.
2. Loot and Odds Transparency
   • Many players reported poor returns despite significant spending (e.g., 100+ pulls for Casey Jones loot with no significant rewards).
   • Suggested improvement: Publish detailed odds for individual items in each loot section to increase transparency and player trust.
3. Showdown Energy and Timing
   • Locking showdown energy behind ultra-premium characters felt punitive, especially compared to the usual MLC free poster approach.
   • Extending showdown tournament hours by 2-4 hours could alleviate stress for players managing limited energy and promoters.
4. Faction Spend Contest
   • While more reasonable than past events, the faction spend contest felt underwhelming due to limited Casey mask rewards. Adding another milestone or redistributing leaderboard rewards could address this.
5. Ramblin Rabbit Shards
   • The blog stated almost 1200 shards yet I don't think that many were given out solely in this weekend event which made this all too confusing considering it's on the blog. This was probably too good to be true considering it was not distinguished in terms of which ones were Free Vs Spend portion.

Suggestions for Future Events

1. Customizable Offers
   • Introduce packs where players can choose their rewards, such as loot coins, prizewall currency, or shards. This would provide better value and satisfaction.
2. Balanced CSS Requirements
   • Avoid using ultra-premium characters as the sole CSS for tours, especially in non-premium events. Including a mix of accessible and premium options ensures broader participation.
3. Improved Loot Odds
   • Increase featured chance rates in loot (e.g., from 5-10% to 15-20%) to provide a more rewarding experience and encourage spending.
4. Event Structure
   • Repeat weeklong events every 2-3 months, incorporating feedback from past events to continuously improve the balance of F2P and P2P engagement.

Overall, the TMNT event showed significant growth and improvement compared to previous events. The accessibility of Shredder Roman, thoughtful integration of weeklong and weekend contests, and creative use of prizewalls showcased a player-focused approach. While there are areas to refine—such as CSS accessibility, loot odds, and faction milestones—the event overall was an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

This was a B overall

I liked the tours but too many of them required the new character to even play,I spent 50$ and never got close to getting him. Open it up a bit.

The showdown was fine, B overall

I liked the prizewall BUT, you should have offered a 3* version of the new Cody for like 1000 masks

No tour for the monthly character Pig Boy, weird

I want Leonardo or new Cody please!

The entire Ninja Turtles cross over events for the week were solid and the weekend was a cool feature to allow us to chase multiple prize walls all week while also introducing the Casey Jones character over the weekend. Only issue I had was while this event was great, felt like Scopely left the monthly focus a little bit with all eyes on this event knowing it might have more excitement built around it. To fix this could have added some more events for the monthly contest and focus.

Premium Showdown

Still not a big fan of this in the long run however, the opportunity to chase the premium character during the week made this a little better for people who can’t spend to chase the main character through loot bags at will compared to others who can. That said for people including myself who were luckily enough to get shredder, the contest adds a ton of value and chances to gain rewards. 

Showdown

The normal weekend showdown was great, and I feel like the extended time on Sunday to close out the event is an added value for players all over the world who play the game. The points and tiers were in line with other showdowns to allow for everyone to earn points moving up the from one league to the next. I also felt that total of showdown coins rewarded for each level were stronger than some of the other contests allowing us to also build up coins to help us earn resources in the showdown store. I was expecting more gem/break damage tasks, but it did not take away from the overall event.

Goongala Faction Event

For spenders this is an added value and a chance to earn addition resources including Foot Clan Solo Contest points to chase higher levels as well as to earn shredder. However, I felt that the lack of Casey Jones masks in an event geared to chasing him was lackluster with only 500 being available in an event that was built around buying Goongala loot coins. Since this was a faction event, I also felt that a chance to earn one or two loot coins in other events would have helped out the free players to contribute while also the overall factions at a whole. Only downside to the weekend event was the lack of opportunities without spend a to it get Casey Jones mask for the prize wall as well as to chase him.

Limited Time Tour

Great mix for all players as contests were featured for all players while offering options to earn rewards for a wide range of characters new and old. This includes Any Seth Rollins, Rey Mysterio, Roman Reigns, and Kofi Kingston which allowed the lesser fortunate players to have someone they could use. In addition, the individual tours for Shredder with Casey Jones also added value while opening up opportunities for players that wanted to spend to chase those characters.

Overview

Overall, no major issues associated with the weekend event including no issues with freezing or game play making it easier to compete all weekend long and grind out during the showdown. As a recommendation, feel like there should be addition opportunities to earn more entries into the showdown including incorporating the green cash within the game to purchase these and maybe put them within the prize wall on a limited basis with them expiring before the contest ends to offer added opportunities to chase, but also not be purchased after the showdown contest has concluded. Disappointed I missed out on Raph, Jones, and Leonardo, but still a fun event.

Showdown

The standard Showdown mode had a very attainable gold milestone. Even without any of the CSS characters, I was able to hit the gold, which felt nice. 

The premium Showdown was also doable since Shredder Roman was attainable in the milestones. This was the first time I’ve had the character required for a Premium Showdown, so that was a fun surprise.

Solo

The Solo contest was good. Having most of the CSS helped progress me down the milestones to get Shredder Roman. 

The only CSS I have concerns with is Seth Rollins. It seems like most of the usable Seths are very premium and hard to get, so any event requiring a Seth Rollins kind of defaults to the Embrace the Vision Seth, and even with his gears, he has not aged all that well. If I had Freakin’ Rollins, Leonardo, or even the Mutant Messiah, his requirement wouldn’t be so rough.

Milestones

The Gold Chest milestone continues to feel like an achievable goal, which is nice. Having Shredder Roman and Michaelangelo Kofi attainable via milestones was absolutely fantastic, and both were very achievable.

However, the Contests that are spending-only are rough. Especially with the biggest rewards being locked behind massive levels of spending. I understand the game needs whales spending to survive, but making the higher level milestones a bit less expensive would be nice.

Required Contest Superstars

Turtle requirements made a lot of sense, and having Shredder Roman so attainable was great. The Seth Rollins requirement is rough unless you have a premium Rollins, which have all been very hard to get. A chase Seth Rollins in the coming months would help a lot, either at B or A tier.

Prize Walls

The Prize Walls were a lot for these events. Multiple walls, multiple currencies to track, and lots of bags to get more currencies for each. However, those bags are frustrating. They lean towards the minimum side, as expected, but the minimums are so low compared to the prices on the prize walls that the bags don’t feel rewarding. Having higher minimums would help, in addition to having more bags available.

I fell just short of getting enough Shredder Masks to get Raphael, which was a major bummer. And the Goongala prize wall, being premium and locked behind spending, also didn’t provide me with much exciting value to feel rewarding.

Loot

The weekend loot available was also a bit rough. Having shards in the Featured loot category makes the Featured loot nearly worthless, since the shards seem to have the highest drop rate. A few times over the past few months, I’ve only received shards from Featured loot, and that feels absolutely awful.

Conclusion

The coin and TP bottlenecks look to be resolved from my viewpoint, and that feels great. It has definitely alleviated the terrible feeling of getting a new character and getting stuck in advancing them. The only major bottleneck I’ve been encountering lately is shards to rank up units into the 6 stars. Even those have not been bad.

I am personally enjoying where the game is at, and where it looks to be heading. My favorite thing this month has been the Ninja Turtle event. It felt very rewarding and fun, though I wish I had been able to get more off of the prize walls.

Have a nice day!

I wish I could say I enjoyed the weekend event as much as the week-long event. It wasn't terrible but it seemed more formulaic than the week-long event.

One of the good things was the weekend loot coins counted towards both the daily and weeklong events that were currently running. There's no way I would have maxed the weeklong contest milestones without that. I do wish the 6* pulls were also included but I can sort of understand why they weren't.

I did wish the weekend loot pool had Casey masks in it. Having the Shredder masks in there instead seemed a little weird. Other than that, loot was pretty much as usual. Also, the amount of packages containing masks and the amount of masks in the packages seemed really low. Getting Cody this weekend seemed completely based on RNG and needed people in the faction to get to whale level spending in order to have a remote shot.

3 weekend tours needing Cody was probably a bit much. Also, locking extra showdown energy and Cody masks behind those tours seemed a bit cruel.

The timer on Showdown changing was really bad as a lot of us thought we had the entire weekend to run it and the change basically cut an entire day off.

Overall the weekend event was fine, it wasn't as good as the week-long event but the integration was done well.
