Best of 2024 Flash Feuds

Definite drop in quality the past two weekends. A lack of medals, the ridiculous cost of items on the prizewall and no Sunday activities. That's also two weekend event's heavily reliant on rare cards. The tours were fine and for Friday & Saturday there was plenty to do.

Usually for flashed feud weekends, you offer a 2nd free step. (Whether it is in a tour or a portal claim.) The MLC blog didn't mention anything about not getting a free 2nd step. I wish this was communicated better since previous flashes feud gave a 2nd one. 1 free step made it much harder to push war-score, especially if you did not have the majority of the CSS.

This feud I had more connection issues than previous feuds. I switched between an ios ipad, android phone and even the portal. Not fun. (both on data plan and home wireless) I lost matches due to crashing. Not worth opening a ticket, since all that will be offered is 100 met kits. Not enough to cover the death of a 6-star gold. It got to the point, after each set, I had to force shut down the game and re-open it, otherwise I ran the risk of a crash. Something changed and it made for a terrible experience.

Milestone rewards not showing what we earned is either another bug or just a silly decision. Walking away with another nwo plate and uso cap feels awful. (Thankfully we get that red dot on our screen when we looted something new) Consistently getting duplicate moments is annoying. Once you get past 100 war-score the milestone rewards are lacking. Since I was unable to see what were in the shard bags, I had no idea what B Tier shards I walked away with. Please fix or revert back, so we can see what we earn. Thank you.

The store rewards pricing is just awful. For the first time in a long time, I could care less about spending my prize wall medallions. I am not sure who comes up with the pricing, but they clearly do not play the game, or they don't realize the worth of certain posters and items.

Nothing for Sunday? I wonder if the 3 on Saturday were supposed to be split up between Saturday and Sunday. If this was working as intended, I guess it is something we all have to get used to since we always have something to do after a flash feud and faction feud on Sundays.

Here is hoping the final weekend event will end well. Thanks

3 areas of improvement from this flash feud weekend. 1). Cutting out a feud step was ridiculous. 2). Having nothing to do on Sunday when event ended was weird. 3). Super stingy in medallions.i hit the 150 million Milestone and only ended with 9 medallions. That’s with doing a mega pull as well.

This flash feud could possibly be one of the worst ever. The CSS requirements were ridiculous, needing 6s poster for a bottom line bonus, changing Solo to Jey for the middle row, all bad. I can’t really comment on the milestone rewards because I don’t know what I received because auto open is busted. Tons of red rings and getting kicked back to the Home Screen between matches. Then there was only 1 set of steps and no Sunday tour. The only real plus was the $20 40 pull offer, but even then you had to buy another $20 bundle to get to it and there was no indication that the second offer was there, I only knew because someone in my faction posted it after they bought the first one. And finally, the non existent prize wall medallions and no ruby market. A rare, really bad misstep this weekend.

Tours:

There was a substantial difficulty spike in tours considering all the last nodes in the tours featured 6 star gold opponents. This is a deviation from having 6 star silver opponents, not gold. The spike in difficultly all of a sudden was not accompanied by additional rewards so that felt lackluster.

The Prizewall:

The prizewall felt bland without more focus on shards of posters released in recently gone-by MLCs. No charlotte and Mercy shards were offered, even though Mercy was released only last month. There were Fatu and Abby shards which was good but more options could of been better. The costs of these shards in terms of feud medallions felt disproportionate to amount of shards you were getting in return. Bodacious Becky’s shards were quite expensive considering that she is no longer relevant in the meta. Shards of D-Von were quite expensive as well, even more disproportionate to how much utility he has now. I would love to get these posters but can’t because they feel so expensive, even after the fact that its been a while since they have been released. Jacob Fatu who’s newer and better is easier to unlock than some of these posters.

FEUD:

Because the prizewall felt bland and uninteresting to me, I didn’t put as much effort and as I normally do so didn’t score more than 150M. The CSS were reasonable but it didn’t seem worth it to me to chase a higher target because of how demotivating the feud prizewall was.

FINAL COMMENTS:

Definitely not your best efforts so far the prizewall was concerned. The CSS catalogue was fine in my opinion, but there was a lack of incentive to go big on feuds this time around.

the weekend event was ok at best. The food was that I was able to to get enough of coins to get a plate usually it’s only enough to get coins and tokens. The bad was the css characters needed for points it seem very spendish needing Abby the witch,Naomi,howdey and otc and the points for winning were very low. There not being anything to do at Sunday reset was a bummer too there was no reason to get on the game at reset.the ms for getting to 300 mil warscore was pretty bad especially when you don’t see what you get from the bags. I would fix these problems by making the ms worth it especially the more you score to raise your score, put 1 tour on Sunday reset that doesn’t need a rare css so we can stay on the game on a Sunday when there’s nothing to do. Lastly there wasn’t enough pw tokens to get anything really good for all the time spent feuding I would make it enough pw coins to at least get a plate of higher quality if not it makes no sense to grind out feuds. Thank you and love the game overall

• The feud lineups were great and easy to fill up. Surely the CSS were leaning more towards the premium side but still had couple of good choices in our favour. I started to like the idea of running 2 feuds back to back with the same group of genders. Giving us more flexibility for setting up the entourage’s and less stress for moving the straps and skill plates. Which we all know that how much they costs to move around.
• The feud number 2 had some serious network problems and lagging issues. I couldn’t even get into the match or if somehow i managed to pass through that the intro nd outro animations got stuck on the screen. I don’t know if it’s a regional thing or everyone has to deal with this terrible situation but it was soo downright annoying that, i literally had to keep restarting the app after every single match that really messed up my whole gameplay experience.
• The majority of the CSS for each feud was strictly behind paywall characters. Which is nothing to bother about because that’s why they’re called premium rare superstars but the fact is most of the players don’t have any of them. Specially when you replace them out of nowhere without giving any sort of notice, obviously whatever we see on the blog was always subject to change but that doesn’t mean you have keep doing the same thing over and over again. The event generally feels very lacking and restrictive prior to the change of mid lanes bonuses. Which leads me to the warscore event where they have massive bonus points although for those who don’t own them they do have the chance to grind their way up but depending on their options they will have hard time climbing or even getting to the end milestone.
• The rewards for solo and faction event were utterly disappointing. Feels like we need to get rid off the same old rewarding system. They have nothing to offer the players and need instant revamps. It’s the same old items that we have tired of seeing every single event. Addition of the stretch milestone in warscore contest was solid for those who love to grind and have every CSS possible. The huge 150% gem dmg straps were highly noticeable but requires more luck than pulling a lottery ticket. So, what’s the point of having them when you can’t even guaranteed the bonus for them. Tbh on blog posts they look tempting but anything that requires RNG i’d skip that instead of having some sure shot rewards that honestly would make huge impact and encourage players to take participate more and grind harder for better rewards.
• Another thing that has caught everyone off guard was the missing feud step. We usually have 2 steps during every feud and for some reasons we happened to have only one this time. So, everyone was like they might forgot to add it or maybe they go with some other route from now onto. Ofc it’s was found later on via town hall modes but would be ideal to hear from you guys in the future if anything changes in through inbox or any sort of blog post. Anyway i don’t bother with the extra 10% although it would’ve made a huge difference specially when you guys chooses to lower the points for the contest.
• Prize wall has a good balance between the superstar shards,plates and resources but would be better if you could add some more ways to earn these medallions maybe in solo or warscore. Specially when there’s no flash market available. Nonetheless, the wall offers variety of options for superstar shards to choose from but the cost for some of the shards were insanely ridiculous when you need huge chunk of them likes of Abby,Howdy or OTC. No doubt, they’re premium cards but it seems near impossible to recruit them even after six months or more. On some items the pricing seems obnoxious for instance look at the shards value for D-von dudley and legend becky which are nowhere good in this meta but still counts as CSS and sadly they’re still out to reach for most players. Overall a balancing needs to be implement for better chances at their shards for some of these posters until they’re really no point engaging with these contests on daily basis when you get soo little in return for your efforts and dedication.

Atlast, i’d say it’s a mediocre event not something i was expecting when there’s new year vibe going all around but i’m still pleased with some of the positives like the special edition offer that comes with two massive 150% bonus straps and addition of 40 pull pack for total worth of $40. I tried my luck and managed to get both the straps spot on but the pulls were horrible which is not surprising at all lol. It was genuinely great for who willing to take a risk and want to experience that moment with such a low price instead of paying $100. So, to sum this event up i hope you guys take this an opportunity to make some parameters for the upcoming events and hope to see some balance between the paywall and freebie players for a better engagement and overall experience with the team.
