Sleigh Bell Slam

Really enjoying the game. Only joined in March and find it easy to play. This month I find it nice to get Lyra shards nice to get so far. With being a new player I have liked how you can get good wrestlers by playing casually and not grind 24/7. I like how this month is busy, but having an even on Xmas day might be a bit much for a few people.

Anyone going to address this glitch?

Is it going to be made avaialbe to the rest of the community, will it be rolled back for those that took advantage, or just ignored to allow people that got it to have an unfair advantage?

MmmHmmm... "Visual Glitch" 🙄

Definitely had a good time playing this weekends showdown. I liked being able to use a wide variety of CSS and i really liked the feeling of there almost being too much to do. I found myself in a frantic rush at the end trying to complete the damage done and the destroy X amount of gems. One change that would really help make weekend events a whole lot less stressful would be running them up until reset on Monday afternoons. Between life, family, friends, football (USA) and sleeping in Sunday mornings and afternoons are just the worst time to have to grind. If the SD events were to run up to reset monday that anxiety would be eliminated.

First I like to say is I'm glad JD MCMonagh is in the game.

Superstar competition open Male/Female on offense was good.CSS for showdown was fair.

Limited time tours was fair.

Prizewall was good.

Overall great showdown

What I liked:

• Skill Plate Pricing - It was really good to see some skill plate options within reach for many players this weekend. Usually showdown plates are way overpriced but this weekend players could target a skill plate (or new moment) if they engaged in the contest and/or spent a 'small' amount of money.
• CSS - Having Shredder as one of the premium (1,500 point) characters made the contest much more balanced than showdown contests of past months. I believe players who complete all the tours, and use their energy efficiently should always be able to max the showdown tournament contest. Being able to max the side contest allows most players to earn something tangible during a contest rather than a % of shards for a character that they may or may not recruit at some point in the future.
• Tours - Pretty standard as tours usually aren't an issue for most contests but the difficulty and CSS were reasonable across the board.

What I disliked:

• Prizewall Shards - Usually I aim for shards from most prizewalls, but I felt that the selection of shards and pricing was a little off this time. Most of the shards were common and expensive, while the rare shards feel absolutely worthless when needing 2000-3000 shards. It would be better to have much higher shard amounts, or give players a better chance at their shards during their debut contests.
• R-Truth Tour - This tour really should have been released a day later, or the energy should have been in another tour. It's really easy to accidentally play and earn showdonw energy when the tournament isn't even live. It's also needlessly awkward to go back and replay the energy nodes with the correct CSS after 24 hours.

Overall, a solid showdown contest in comparison to the standard weekend showdown. Given that the other contests during this month don't feel very special for the Christmas season, it would be great to see something special that gives back to the community in a big way in the coming weeks. Recently I have been playing some other games and have been shocked by how much they give back to their entire player base during the holidays in comparison to Champions.

sad to say this wasn’t one of my best events. I only was able to 3.1k medals (100% ftp). I don’t know anyone has suggested this but in my opinion, I miss the event prizewall style that was done 1 or 2 times where the css was offered at 3 start at the cost everyone could do with some grinding and the 6 for the paying people. This would have been nice as both first day and last tour had a tour that require jd judgement day costing those of us who didn’t buy him or get a lucky bag pull not just the kick off tour but also the judgment day tour at the end.

I was excited that I had all but one characters for showdown. Which inspired me to play more. Despite playing I still couldn’t max the event and the prizewall was sub par with the giveaways.

Shards have been hard to find unless it is done through spending.

I am still looking showboat focused shards.

I like this game very much, spending too much time on this game. Game improved with positive changes and now there's very high chance in getting top tier superstar. Scopely is continuously giving free superstars from time to time. Every MLC is great

I requested you to please give more free medallions in tour and give more points for that most of the player achieve their dream superstar Please this message from all wwe championship community Thank you for reading this 🙏

I was pleasantly surprised by the latest weekend SD contest. While I usually, dont expect much from these events, this one exceeded my expectations. I’d like to highlight the positives before discussing the areas that need improvement. 


*THE POSITIVES*

THE NEW MOMENT AND THE NEW DRIP PLATE: Normally, I don’t pay much attention to the new flavour of the weekend because they are typically out of my reach but this time around, the new moment and more importantly, the new JD Drip plate(I will be calling it the drip plate because it certainly takes inspiration from the OG Dominator’s Drip plate, so not to be confused with that) were not rated at an exorbitant price which is a big win for many players who play daily, grind and engage with the in game content and want something good for their rosters while they are at it. Not only the plate works wonderfully on a good number of posters, but by the looks of it, it wasn’t as unreachable as new plates have been in the past. So kudos to the team for that as it let’s us look forward to something that we can hope we will get to eventually. 

SHREDDER AS ONE OF 1500 POINT/SCORE GUY:

Typically, its uber rare posters that are accorded the 1500 extra points per win in the SD tournament but this time, one of those posters was Shredder who was very accessible to the majority of the active community so even if someone couldn’t do any of the damage tasks, they still could easily manage to hit the gold chest by grinding and getting wins with Shredder. This embarks a positive change from only spenders being rewarded to free to play players getting their due from grinding. 

PLAYER FRIENDLY TOURS:

The tag team matches were back! I really love this approach as I feel like we are now not shackled to an outdated poster that we have to use to get wins in the tour so we can obtain the CSS rewards! I have praised this format of tour matches before and I am going to do it again because I love this! Tag matches makes the tours fun for a good chunk of the player base who may not have the premium CSS options to go with and are stuck with outdated CSS posters in a one versus one setting with no way out. This was a returning element from past contests, so nothing ground breaking but I love it. 

THE PRIZEWALL: 

Now let’s get to the meat of the contest. The prizewall had plenty of options. A wide variety of plates and shards were offered which makes sure that most players can get something valuable off of the wall which is pretty neat. The medallion cost of plates was reasonable which appears to be a big shift in the mentality of how SD contests were designed in the pasts. Its a welcoming shift from a point where most of us could only get resources(coins, TP, strap parts etc) to the present point where we can set our sights on a new plate or shards of a poster that we are yet to recruit. The economy of the medallions finally seem to be getting on the right track and I truly appreciate the Event Team for that. 

Unfortunately, not everything was rainbows and sunshines as there were a few not so good elements. So, moving onto the negatives:

*THE NEGATIVES*: 

While I didn’t face such issues on my end, some people faced some kind of a visual glitch wherein they couldn’t view the SD tournament’s banner in the game so as a result of that, they were locked out from engaging with the SD matches. This isn’t a new game mode so things like this shouldn’t happen and if they do, they need to be fixed as soon as possible. 

THE COST OF SHARDS: 

While the plates were reasonably priced considering that they are brand new, some of the shard options were certainly a bit out of reach. Now, I don’t mind some things being expensive as I understand that it’s a business, but some of the posters for which shards were offered are not new. Technician Charlotte was arguably the best female poster in this game when she was released but 6 months have gone by since her debut, and in the meantime, she has been dethroned from the top spot. Unless you are in a top 20 faction or get a very high rank in the SD tournament(which someone who is chasing charlotte now isn’t going to be able to do), you are not getting to 6500 medallions that are needed to get 145 of her shards. Now, I don’t mind spending a bit, but if I am expected to spend $20-$30 every time her shards are offered, its going to take $150+ to recruit her which is quite unreasonable for a poster that is no longer the best and is past their prime.
A similar thing can be said about the Buzzard’s Beak plate as well. It’s function is similar to the heartstopper(the only difference is of the colour) and yet it was out of reach for most of us while the heartstopper- the plate it takes an inspiration from- has been getting accessible to the community. 

*MY SUGGESTIONS*: 

Prior testing of in game content needs to be done diligently before releasing it into the game so players do not suffer. Since practically everything is time sensitive in the game, it’s the players who suffer the most from such lapses. Giving extra energy cans as compensation doesn’t always make up for the loss of time because people prefer playing at certain times depending on their time zone. This can leave a sour taste in player’s mouths when they are locked out of content at their preferred playtime, through no fault of their own. 

The medallion economy being more balanced and players being rewarded for their efforts and skill is a nice touch. Most of us now wont feel completely isolated by the prizewalls of the earlier kind that had pretty much everything at unattainable costs. Keep up with this positive shift as it benefits everyone.

Going forward, I would like to see more free posters being the 1500 point wrestler! 
Overall, a solid experience for me with more positives than negatives. Kudos to the team for being on the right track. 
     

I absolutely love the game. Been playing for about 5 years now and it's been my longest playing game ever. I enjoyed the weekend contest. It was easy to play and I got the good chest.

Though there are lots of side contests going on at the same time which makes it interesting, shards for the featured characters are far fewer compared to last month.

This SD was one of the most enjoyable in recent memory. The format was great and the prizewall was phenomenal. Great quality of life and play at your pace while getting great rewards through faction or spend or both.

The wall has something for everyone. New stuff including a new moment and devil's drip, but also well priced (minus the Chelsea plate, which seemed a bit odd) + shards of recently released Abby and Howdy for a fair amount.

The loot having the plate was also very nice for those who spend more.

Let's follow this model.
