Countdown to Royal Rumble (Weeklong)

First I like to say is I'm glad to see HOF JBL in game. He's a great new character.

Css for feud was fair. I enjoyed +99mp.

Limited time tours was fair

Prizewall was great. Shards,plates,posters on the prizewall were useful

Overall great flash feud. Compensation for missing points was good.

A good contest overall. Enjoyed the spacing of tours, showdown, feuds, etc. Always had something to do everyday which is a great thing as I know most people want something to do in a game they enjoy playing like this one.

My only issue for this event would be the talent up contest as it was different to past ones. As a player I wasn’t able to earn points for this talent up like past ones because of the change in how points could be earned not to mention gold hof tokens didn’t count which to me is unfair as it was a hof mlc. Hope this can be improved on for future talent up and future hof mlc

where to start, I will seperate my feedback and thoughts from the week long contest and the weekend.

So flash feud, timings are awful and I’m off work after a acl reconstruction on my knee, so nothing to do apart from ice my knee. After every player always complaining about it why can’t you see sense and change the timings or format to 2 feuds that are 11 hours long, it worked so well when you did it last and all the feedback was positive the fact you still don’t change it shows your really not listening to the fan base.

CSS for the contest were actually ok, being a hof event I appreciate there are going to be some rarer css and the female hofs are poor so the female css having 2 non hofs I thought was better than using hof Bella.

The mess up again was annoying and I appreciate sometimes mistakes happen but this mlc there seems to have been many mistakes, I still don’t feel we were compensated properly for the faults from the first flash feud, and even though you can probably send some proof, the fact that I have to take that at face value, I think most in community would agree, not really sure can trust what being told, and that’s a sad place to be.

I feel a compensation package probably would of helped community relations but that opportunity was missed again.

The last 2 milestones in the battlegrounds contest give me no motivation to continue feuding for them, no plates, no moments, no shards, no solo points. Like what is the point for some shards and some 6sg tokens. Really needs looking at.

The prize wall, those new rumble plates are great, don’t think they are roster changing for me but they are really nice and gave me motivation to go after them, but soon as saw that I wouldn’t get near to them as would of cost a fair bit of money then I gave up, the drop rate for those medallions from the bag seem to depend on what server your on at the time you open them, my reasoning for that is I got further than different players I know and yet had less medallions than them.

Not sure why took so long for jbl to have moves loaded into the game, but I do like him, feel you didn’t really give content creators time to get videos out of him with and without gear, the way he was released caused that as on flash feud weekend im not watching videos as im busy trying to feud in awkward timings.

Overall what could of been a good weekend let down by timings and to many issues.

I do like the idea of having the event last all week and then carry on into the weekend, just need to get a better balance for milestones, this last milestones were 4 million points apart and solo tours gave absolutely no where near adequate points, bear in mind I know the amount of money I spent throughout the week and on the weekend, to not even get to the last milestone is mind blowing.

Again issues to start the event no real compensation given just a mess.

The events were decent I liked what you did with the extreme rules tours they weren’t as annoying as normal, still needed a bit of grinding but the health rules matches didn’t last 20 minutes which was a relief

Sd points balancing was decent and it being across 2 days was good

Prize wall for the event was good gave people chance to grind for a new plate and had a good variation of gears on there.

Without the issues would of been a good event

Really enjoyed this week-long contest - my highlights were the 99mp perk in both showdown and feud which opened up who could be used and quicker to win matches. The prizewall had a lot of options between plates and posters, it would have been nice to maybe see some larger shard quantities (similar to the previous week-long where shards were in groups of 500) and maybe some lesser plate options.

I think the overall tasks between blitz, talent up and tours were easily attainable and that made for a very accessible contest across the board.

Overall a good week-long. My only criticism is because these are happening once or twice a month now is they feel less special, I don't think players want to see the same format repeated every month, so maybe alternating these week-long events every other month would make them feel more special.

the Diamond and 4Star loot needs to be revamped or eliminated. The rewards earned would be better assigned to different things, or maybe upscale the rewards in those loot based on league level.

Personally to begin with, the fueding times, specifically the second one where the royal rumble was on , definitely threw me off making me lose valuable hours to feud in order to watch the royal rumble, other than that 4 feuds seems to much especially on a Sunday, the contest definitely had some bugs with the points going to the faction but was fixed early on , the 99+ mp perk opened up so much possibilities especially making weaker css more viable and it was fun using the hardest fastest hitters turn 1 for fast feuding , that should definitely be permanent to reward factions that put the work in , the weekend premium prizewall , personally didn't get anything useful but it is what it is with the rng

And lastly the rumble numbers as of today i haven't seen anyone get the prize, we'll have to see what it is , but i find it kind of boring that it was only for the male rumble, not sure if giving us the chance to choose our numbers would've been better, or have 2 bags one for numbers for the males and the other for the females would of been fun because the event was just as important for the both of them

With nothing else to say the rewards were abundant and it was an ok event

So first will start with the Feud Mode foremost:

FEUDS:

This is the THIRD feud in a row that has experienced issues in the first hour which is very demotivating right of the bat. Several people in my faction didn’t bother to participate as they were under the impression that they will not be given any points whatsoever for the entirety of the first flash feud. The team communicated us that the issue was being worked on through the Townhall server and through the in game message system but it would have been better if we were assured sooner that we will be credited with the points earned. Whenever the team does something new, issues always follow. This time the scoring for the faction contest was changed and as the result these issues took place. I don’t mind the change itself, in fact I liked the change but what I don’t like is the fact that every time the team tries something new, issues crop up. It’s a repeating pattern which points towards the conclusion that the team is not meticulous enough and does not exercise due diligence in making sure that things are tested well in advance before the content is loaded in the game. I would like to have a better, more polished product for the amount of time and money that I invest in the game and I think that’s a reasonable expectation.

FEUD MILESTONE REWARDS:

The Skill plate cases need to be updated with better plates and the unwanted, undesired and old plates such as Omos’ plate or Rey’s mask needs to be removed. I got mella’s mask and some other outdated plate which is disappointing and I think I deserve better for finishing in the top 200 as per your leaderboards. We deserve better. None of the plates that I got are relevant in the meta and it’s laughable that the team considers these plates as a justified reward for practically playing and grinding all day.

WEEKEND PRIZEWALL:

This time the premium prizewall felt very lackluster as compared to the last weeklong contest’s weekend prizewall. The new plates are awesome but they were overpriced and even after spending quite a bit as a faction we couldn’t come anywhere near. I ended up with 570 medallions and missed out on all the juicy stuff. What I got was some gears for outdated posters which felt very demotivating and not worth the money spent as none of the old posters are relevant in the meta.

It would be nice to have more plate variety on the prizewalls and I have been advocating that for some time now. Feels like the game makes the choice for you nowadays, instead of putting you in the drivers seat. Most choices are not really a choice and more of an illusion because the drop rate/quantity of premium medallions through the crate feels like a ripoff. 10-1000 medallion drop is advertised but its always near 10 and nowhere close to even 100. Not worth the money and robs the joy out of the weekend. No matter how much you play you will not end up with something better for your roster and that kills all the joy.

RUBY MARKET:

First the team decided to stop offering feud medallions through the ruby market but this time they went a step further and took away the market all together. No player wanted or asked for this and this seems like an attempt to slowly strangle a source of rewards for the community. It was a nice feature that gave out extra points and medallions for our money spent but for some reason that I can’t fathom, the team thought it was reasonable to shut it down. I fail to understand why things that are liked by the community are taken away from us whereas the concerns and complaints that we make are usually not properly addressed or given any attention to whatsoever.
No one asked for this and yet it happened. Bring it back. It’s literally a source of revenue for the company. I will be willing to spend on it as I have in the past.

Conclusion:

Overall, a very tiring experience with mild rewards with the only saving grace being the addition of 99MP which is a good feature and would like to see that return. We were expecting more gold HOF tokens in feud milestones but that didn’t happen. You guys need to step up and do better. I saw lesser engagement this time around and I am sure your data will indicate the same. This should be an eye opener for the team to be more meticulous and offer better incentives to the players to continue playing.

Something u can do better is make s plus tier characters more available

I enjoyed this contest. You have revamped posters and the contest format to give more rewards. I have unlocked more superstars in the past 4 months than I have in 4 years.
the new HOF and plates are awesome.

Thank you for making HOF Goldberg obtainable. Keep working hard Scopley

Royal Rumble Week Long

Overall, for me the entire month of the Hall of Fame event was solid with a ton of opportunities to earn rewards, gear, straps, plates, and new characters. The same can be said for the conclusion with the Royal Rumble Flash Feud to end the month. As a whole I did not have a ton of issues, one issue that continues to occur is rewards not being shown after earning them. While I believe the rewards are going in inventory, it just makes it difficult to know for sure. The other major issue I had was two times during the event I had the app close whileclaiming a reward. The last issue has been a consistent issue not sure related to IOS or everyone and that is after finishing one feud and starting a new one with a new teammate, you have to close the app and reopen it to allow you to enter/select character to compete with. 

That said here is what I liked, didn’t like, and any suggestions for this event:

Prize Walls & Prizes

Overall, I thought all the prize walls were solid down the stretch including the weekend prize wall as well as the premium prize wall. The chance to not only earn gear for John Bradshaw Layfield as well as the new R-Truth plate were great for big time spenders while I thought value for all level of players was strong. The new plates while out of my reach were amazing and were in range for someone who is mostly F2P. I missed getting one by less than 2,000. Ultimately, opportunities to better the roster were there for any player of any level. 

Royal Rumble Global Event & Royal Rumble Balls

Love global events as an opportunity for players of all levels to come together to earn rewards. This was no different and Ithought it was a great opportunity to earn royal rumble balls for contestants. The only suggestion is there should have been additional opportunities in solo contests and rewards to earn additional contestant number balls. That said not a big deal at all. In addition, I feel like a poll should have been present on the website to earn web coins or rewards for selection of who we thought would win the rumble both for the male and female side. 

30 Man Faction, Feud Battleground Contests, Royal Loot Faction Contest

The selection of competitors available for the 30-man faction contest was left wide open for nearly every player to have a chance to contribute to this event with lower-level options and F2P characters on the list as well as harder characters as well. No overall issues as we continue to see characters spread out for all players. In addition, the monthly prize walls continue to offer opportunities to earn characters required for those contests as well. 

Feud Characters for each level (Top/Mid/Low)

Overall though it was laid out solid across the board including adding Goldberg as a Top slot option for Feud #3. This is something that plays for nearly everyone including lower tier players who grinded to earn him before the event. I highlysuggest continuing to focus on this as it allows us all to fight and compete for at least the A tier character (in this case Goldberg S+ tier). 

Limited Time Tour

Lastly the overall logistics of the tour were strong with a wide range of characters available to use to earn bonus rewards. Tons of opportunities to earn rewards and to chase strong prizes in the prize walls. 

Despite not being a fan of the Hall of Fame month in previous years, this year was strong while delivering a ton of opportunities to improve our rosters. In addition, the only suggestion is the lack of focus of using the web portal to gain web coins related to the ongoing events.

Feel like with rewards available on their fan voting should be a daily basis to either earn web portal coins or earn in game contests. Keep up the solid work and look forward to additional upgrades and features.

THE BAD:

• This weekend flash feud was full of server crashes and lack of control over the event. This truly made the event worse them all despite having all the good stuff which is struggling to keep up with all these issues and unprofessional behaviour towards the playerbase.
• The problem is it’s been 8 years now and sadly you can’t get anything done about it. I understand not everything is full proof mistakes or glitches can happen but the thing is you guys can’t even acknowledge the fact that you messed up things really bad instead of releasing an apology tweets try to make things better. It all starts right off the bat with the very first flash feud and continues till the end. The points weren’t counting properly for battleground rewards, having continue errors and freeze screen issues during battle thus making extremely annoying.
• The feud timings needs to be some sort of reset or changed depends on the different time zones. Try to differentiate them from each other and stop following the same old pattern for each one of them. Instead find new ways to make them more fun and interesting. Maybe cut off one of the feud and focus more on the timings to make it work for the community. Feud 2 seems very short and irrelevance for the most part because you have to done your CSS and making sure you score enough to get your way up towards the battleground event.
• The rewards for the warscore contest needs a quick revamp because it’s the same old stuff every time at after a certain point it does feel pointless. A continues improvement is needed to keep the feuds engaging and entertaining as well. I don’t know how many times people have to mentioned this but the domination chests are way too off for the game. Put some high end resources and add up some more bonus milestones to encourage players to push their way into and find some real value for their time and efforts.
• The compensation that sent out for the issues felt very underwhelming and kinda frustrating for those who didn’t get the proper rewards they deserved. At this stage i’d say players don’t even trust on your statements and facts anymore. Which is something that you really don’t wanna see happen. The community deserves better and mostly when things don’t go as planned put some efforts into making sure that the players don’t have to suffer from your faults, lack of action and transparency.

THE GOOD:

• The weekend faction spend event was held pretty much the same as we had in the previous months. The rewards are somewhat limited but the MP turnbuckles pays off huge role in terms of SD and flash feuds. Very few of the factions manages to maxed it but i’d say it was a fun one and would like to see more often.
• The CSS for LTT and weekend feud were obviously not player friendly which is kinda expected but still i’d say even without having half of the them during each feuds and tours i managed to reached milestone 56/60 in solo and finished at ranked 34th worldwide. So, i didn’t even feel the need for them although having them really matters in terms of progress for solo contest or reaching out higher in the feud leaderboard rankings.
• The portal offers have some crazy good deals in a very long time features some of the most rare HOF cards with both gears and bonus loot coins for 20$ upto all the 200$. I really liked the royal rumble theme based community event with winning entrants being rewarded as the actual PPV winner for the event. I’d love to see more of these surprise events happen frequently with the originally PPV results.
• The prize wall was heavily featured HOF shards, posters, straps and resources which was expected as the part of theme. The medallions were also available during both the weeklong and weekend events such as daily countdown contests, Featured bags and mostly through offers and leaderboard rewards. Despite having all the rare items listed on prize wall rather it’s a 6G HOF poster, gears or just the shards but the new royal rumble plates are in definitely the main attraction out of all. They obviously aren’t easy to obtain but surprisingly i get my hands on 3/6. Which is pretty good considering they’re royal rumble specific plates i highly doubt we’ll see them anytime soon.

SUGGESTIONS:

• The initial reaction for these weeklong contests was pretty great and interesting but i feel like you guys are just stick with the same copy & paste format as we progress through. No improvements taken whatsoever and the similar kinda listings each month like talent up, X no of matches everyday or couple runs for the blitz all this showed how the developers just doesn’t want to score any efforts and keep the cream of the crop coming as long as it lasts.
• Another request that i’ve been given pretty much in every feedback thread is adding an option or something related to our feud lineup so, we can track down who we used or not for the maximum bonus points. For some people it may seem like an very niche feature but trust me when i say this. Ask those players who spend hours and hours playing and chasing leaderboards specially with the flash feuds where you can’t even remember if you used every single of your cards.
• Atlast, this whole weeklong saturated weekend contest was barely made up enough for me to call it a win. If things were didn’t fall apart or you could capitalise on the compensation situation that would make this event even more exciting and successful. End of the day it’s all about business perspective and profit making decisions that is absolutely necessary nothing wrong with that but you have to understand that the community holds a majority of the power to make something work and the actual change will start with building a trustworthy relationship between the player base and team members. Don’t try to just get things off from your chest instead reach out to the players and acknowledge if anything goes off. It’s a long way to go but we expect the best results from you guys and you have proven that multiple times.

Looking forward to the next MLC and i hope all this helps you in some way. Can’t wait to see what you guys have planned for all of us.

You nailed the balance of points from a 4 week event to a 3 week event.

The only critique would be for Royal Rumble Premium Medalions to be available elsewhere or to put the new skill plates the main prizewall. I wanted black but that was not available to factions that lack a large amount of spenders.

overall a fun event. Wish there would have been a little more prizewall tokens, as I missed out on plate.

Over all this week of events wasn’t terrible…

The bad things:

Flash feud start- we been doing this so long I just cannot see why the money pumped into the game from pulls hasn’t corrected any of these old things yet…..

CSS: HoF revolved around 3 primary… Vader, Farooq, and beefcake…. Must say I was a bit disappointed out of all these HoF the same ones seem to always be there….

It would have been nice to see a bit more as css….

Good things:

While it was hard to get wall tokens for the feud…. The rest seemed decently handed out…. Although small amounts in all bags and chests it seemed like you gained some every milestone to where most could reach one plate…..

If the 4/5 week depending on how many weeks the MLC is is going to be this big week long spend event for bad pulls minuscule wall tokens… you can count me out… having to drop the amount of money this game expects with out fixing what’s wrong for a character outdated in a week or 2 is just insane…..

Week over all C feud weekend B-
