Queens of the Ring

Firstly I think the poster is a welcomed one Nia needed a new version in game and this one hits the mark some of the requirements for the faction tasks seemed weird only 3 wrestlers do column break gems and aren’t that common the others tasks where fine the tours were also good I liked that most css have been friendly to most people the showndowns I don’t mind but I think maybe trying to added something different to them would really improve the experience we already do regular showdown most days just having more of the same on the weekend just seems underwhelming

firstly not having nia shards available through the event other than loot is a poor idea, many of the community have said it in the past zero shard releases are awful,

Tours were decent and the perk for 99mp in sd if you had slab head was brilliant idea, doing something like that in future is something would be great in sd events, especially grind events like this one

Faction tasks, if this was a male event then brilliant there are plenty to chose from for column break gems, female though there isn’t, and didn’t feel like a well thought out task.

Take the title loot coins out of featured pulls, there rubbish imo and make me not want to spend that sort of money just to get them as my guaranteed item which will happen 99.9% of the time.

No tech issues that I say or heard of which is good

happy new year

Pros

• New Nia Jax is much better than the old PH Nia
• Good variety of point methods for the faction Showdown contest
• Tour lengths & difficulty were perfect
• Extra Showdown energy in tours should be the new standard going forward!

Cons

• No Nia shards in loot or rewards. I somehow ended up with 75/3000 shards.
• Lack of points in the solo contest. I feel like there were some points missing this contest needed to get the gold chest milestone. I have a fairly stacked roster & I just had enough to get the snow globe (minus my pulls).
• +99 MP Showdown perk locked to JD who is still rare. I think it would have been more fair for the CSS to be any Judgment Day.
• Faction contest break gem tasks were not balanced. 25k multiply gems & 25k column break gems vs 70k black gems. While multiplies & column breaks were worth more points, I feel like they should of had a higher cap (50k).
• Faction contest was too difficult to get the gold chest. Not many factions got it.
• Prize wall need more variety for different ranges of medallions. We have lots of options under 1k, hardly anything between 2k & 5k, and the rest being 18k+. Give us more variety between 2k & 10k.

Overall: 2.5/5

I was very pleased to finally see a new Nia poster in the game. From the CC videos I watch, she seems like a great female striker for those in need. I do wish we all have a chance to get Nia Shards. When new posters are released, its feels great to earn them in tours and milestones. I ended the event with 0/3000 which did not feel great.

The ShowDown was good. My only issue was only 3 faction tasks. I wish there was more, even if you gave us 1 extra on the Sunday reset. Something extra to work on since you gave energy on the Sunday tour. The extra energy on the Sunday tour was awesome too! Thanks!

I did not have PH JD yet but the option for +99 mp was pretty cool to see for those who already did. I hope we see this more often. This feature is something I hope to unlock in a future event.

Tours were great. No issues found. Allot of variety in the tour CSS. You have been doing a great job for tour CSS for quite some time and just know it is greatly appreciated.

Overall pretty chill event. No issues really. Thanks again!

this contest was good and bad for a couple reasons

Good: the resources were great. The amount of TP and coins really helps. The tours played out ok and it was a quick come up

Bad: the showdown showcase has gotten out of hand. When it comes to the CSS they were all mostly rare posters and a lot of people missed out on the Snowglobe because they couldn’t score enough points.

This is a f2p game but a pay to win. We understand that players does pay a lot of money and get rewarded as such. But for the f2p community it’s becoming so hard to keep up and with contests like this one it’s a bit disheartening for them to keep playing.

Hopefully the next MLC and future contest would please both the spender and the f2p community. It’s a great game and great stuff is behind a paywall. But make the game enjoyable again for f2p.

Look felt that unlike most sd probably the major difference that came was the rarity of the wrestlers that could give you individual bonuses for showdown as well as the limit amount of tours available when the double option was available the day prior to the sd… in saying this, probably the main reason for this change was due to previous faction part of the showdowns being maxed easily prior to the actual showdown.

Ultimately I would prefer to see the tour section of the game not mattering when people finish as then it becomes easier to calculate how much needs to be put out and becomes more of a weekend event as opposed to maxing prior to the main part of the event starting and not reaching the max when the faction completed all the sd requirements.

I know people are up in arms about this due to this having possible resource implications as it links to the monthly fuse competition, outside of this the challenging part was the major column break people did not coincide with the striker option so people that chose to grind to support their faction did so with little benefit to getting the striker bonus as well.

When thinking about the event this was a showdown event primarily and when our faction completing all the showdown requirements, yet over 2 million short to maxing the faction part of the event tends to show the necessity of spending to be successful in this particular weekend event. The fact that over 45 factions maxing shows that it definitely was possible - with some luck involved.

In saying all of this I really love that Nia was the chosen - particularly when we have not had her for a long time.

Showdown has become more and more worst from once being the very best event in this game. I feel like some of these weekend events aren’t improving any, in some ways i think they actually getting worse about what's expected of players. There is plenty of factors that need to be addressed thus far making a smooth and better in game experience.

• I really like SD, especially with open requirements and the ability to use some of your best cards as per your deck rules. This particular SD was massively behind paywall cards, Genuinely speaking if you don’t have the New Nia Jax or Lyra then you probably gonna miss out on alot of the stuff. What i don't like is that there are hefty amount of points being added to the free marked milestone but in order to get those you need some super rare cards. Players couldn’t even get to the free medallion portion. Forget about getting to the 700K points milestone or beyond that, Nowdays the 1.8M milestone is out of reach for the vast majority.
• The CSS requirements were definitely pretty harsh this time and doesn’t really make sense if you look at the previously SD progressions. Although the addition of 99 MP perk was a nice surprise and certainly makes a significant difference for those who got JD Mcdonagh, but there’s always a conflict between the spenders nd FTP players. I myself managed to recruit him just in time and went flying through everyone’s defence, it’s like walk in the park but the problem with this idea is that the strategy behind showdown defence goes out of the window. Instead of getting rid of this. I’d suggest why not adding the MP only to the offensive side and let everyone have a fair playing field.
• Another issue is availability of PW medallions in the solo and faction event. It seems like there isn’t enough payback for the players to their efforts, making it even more worst than expected. The SD contests were used to have a massive impact but lately it’s been very difficult for the players to compete in these tournaments and thus left them with no such benefits at all. As long as the reward system isn’t paying fairly this will cause a major cutthroat for everyone.
• If plans don't change and we continue to get this same old structure in the faction scoring method, which is hella meaningless and boredom, i think it should have something more rewarding that makes it worthwhile for the grind. Have stretch milestones with either prize wall medallions, extra weekend shards or increased resources such as tokens, coins and TP.
• The tours were great and quite fun. Having a decent CSS requirements can get you through them very easily. The energy cans available in R- truth tour was obvious but also added them in sunday tour was a bit surprising not sure if it’s intentional or not, but didn’t like the way it appeared in just a few hours before the event was over. It was a short time period for anyone to realise that let alone get the chance to actually play with perhaps you need to understand that the game is not cater nor revolves around the US players. Would have been nice if you listed it on blog or announced it a day before via direct inbox.
• Prize Wall is a great idea with prices that are terrible. While i understand the need to monetize, there are items that are way overpriced for what they actually offer. For example the price for queen’s tiara plate that can easily acquire through talent up chests or feud domination cases and shouldn't be considered as valuable as the new valkyrie chest or yeet plate which helps tons of posters in the game. Shards for old posters could also be increased. It just needs some better balance to be a solid feature that players can look forward to.

Overall, I’ve to admit that all the positive aspects that the players are seeking from the showdown events have been stripped away. Atleast bring back some of the key features and give people an incentive to play more and reason to keep chasing forward. Showdown has really gone downhill because of some of these most ridiculous requirements. I hope you guys take all this in a positive way and make sure that the players get what they truly deserve like better SD matchmaking and balanced rewards that will definitely outweigh all the negatives of this great event. Looking forward to the future events and what you guys have planned for the new year. Thank you as always and hope everyone has a wonderful new year too :)

oh wow did not like this event

D

CSS we’re fine but not enough to get extra money event points. I thought css were supposed to help you get EXTRA points

The prize wall was fine but we did not get enough prize wall coins at all.

So overall, same old same old

I really enjoyed the contest and I think Nia Jax is one of if not the best female strikers in the game

this was a horrible event as the tour with Nia at 6ss was impossible to achieve and though not able to get the globe and fall way behind once again.
not good Scopely.

Played for 4 yrs…eish it was easier to obtain new Characters and Different Tokens. I don't pay so I'm limited on a lot of different things.…🤷 players with alot of pt should get rewarded. They no longer seem to even do much with the holiday awards. PLEASE Step It Up...
