Ring of the Brave

this contest is my favorite set up for contests!

1. Able to get right up to the bronze box just from the contest tours (usually means gold attainable from the event).

2. Event medallions have loot coins available on the prize wall.

I appreciate it!

So for 1, I really love how El Grande can be won in the milestone of the event. I dont like how impossible it is to win him unless you have money to spend to do pulls. I would love to have a brand new superstar when he or she 1st debuts. I wish El grande was easier to win kn the milestones.

But my biggest concern is the SHow of hart And the SHANGO CURSE cards. You use to be able to get them every week on the prize wall. But now, they hit the prize wall beginning of the MLE. You get a few of them and then nothing else until next month. The show of hart and shango curse cards help me and many others in feuds. Please bri g those back every week. Every Monday, new prize wall so we can get more and more of those. Please

I wish that you could follow the same set up for flash Feuds as this weekend is much more enjoyable across an mlc.

I like how we get the chance to use different eras, but is there a way to get all eras to be used as a css? For example modern era isn't on there, it may not need to score as highly but could be an option

The main solo event rewards don't seem as good, but was relatively easy to max.

Always for me the chest rewards could be better in terms of number of shards as 15 doesn't feel a lot.

That aside I liked this weekend, was enough to engage game play for the time to get what I put into it

• What I Liked

* Engaging Gameplay & Variety of Characters: I really enjoy playing WWE Champions. The core match-3 gameplay is addictive, and the way it integrates with superstar abilities and wrestling mechanics is clever. A major highlight for me is the variety of my favorite characters available in the roster. It's great to see so many classic legends, current superstars, and even NXT talent to collect, each with their unique movesets and versions. This aspect truly enhances the fan experience and keeps me invested in building my roster.

* Faction System & Community: The Faction system is a huge positive. It encourages teamwork, competition, and a sense of community. The Faction Feuds and Boss Battles are great ways to engage with other players and work towards a common goal. Being part of a strong faction significantly enhances the gameplay experience.

* Regular Content Updates: The game is constantly updated with new events, contests, and superstars. This keeps the game fresh and gives players something to look forward to every week. The thematic events, like those tied to WWE pay-per-views, are a nice touch.

•What Could Be Improved (Areas for Improvement)

1. Contests & Events:

* Difficulty & Time Commitment: The difficulty of certain contests, especially those requiring specific rarities or trainers, can be very high for free-to-play (F2P) players. The time commitment required for many events, especially faction feuds and tours, is extremely demanding. It often feels like a full-time job to complete all the milestones.

* Rewards & Loot (Specific to Feud Leaderboards): This is a critical area for improvement. I recently participated in a feud and was in the top 60 of the leaderboard. The prize I received was 5 six-star gold token chests. While 6-star gold tokens are indeed valuable for evolving superstars, this reward doesn't feel commensurate with the immense effort and time required to reach a top 60 position. It feels like a significant disparity compared to what players in the top 20 receive, who get something truly impactful for their dedication. For those in the 21+ ranks, the rewards often feel less impactful.

* Milestone Structure: The milestone system can be frustrating. Often, the final milestones are designed to be nearly impossible to reach without significant spending. This creates a sense of futility for players who are just trying to complete the event without spending.

2. Economy & Progression:

* Lack of Resources: The biggest bottleneck in the game is the lack of resources, especially coins, tokens, and TP. Upgrading superstars, especially at higher rarities, is incredibly expensive and time-consuming. It can take weeks or even months to level up a single superstar to a competitive level.

* Loot Box (Loot) System: The loot box system can be a major source of frustration. The drop rates for top-tier superstars and resources feel very low. While the "mega superstars" and featured loot are exciting, it often feels like a gamble with a low chance of a return. A more transparent or predictable system, perhaps with a pity timer or guaranteed pull after a certain number of tries, would be beneficial.

* Power Creep: There is a noticeable power creep in the game. New superstars are often released with abilities and stats that far outclass older superstars, making older, highly-invested-in characters obsolete. This makes it difficult for players to keep up without constantly investing in new superstars.

3. In-Game Shop & User Experience:

* Lack of Bulk Purchase Option: The process of buying items in the in-game store is incredibly "clicky." When a player needs to purchase a large quantity of a specific resource (e.g., health packs, tokens, or TP), they are forced to buy them one by one. This is a tedious and time-consuming process. It discourages players from using the shop for large purchases and creates a frustrating user experience. It's an unnecessary barrier to convenience.

* Unintuitive Navigation: The shop layout can be confusing, with different currencies and tabs spread out. It is not always clear where to find specific items, and the overall process of making a purchase feels inefficient.

•Suggestions & Mitigations

Here are some actionable suggestions to address the areas for improvement:

1. For Contests & Events (with a focus on Leaderboard Rewards):

* Revamp Feud Leaderboard Rewards (21-60+ Ranks): Instead of just 5 six-star gold token chests, I suggest replacing it with something more immediately useful and impactful, like coins of equal or even higher value. While tokens are essential, coins are universally needed for talent-ups, gear upgrades, and various other essential aspects of progression. For players in the 21-60 range who invest significant time, a large sum of coins would provide more tangible progression and feel like a more equitable reward for their effort, rather than a single, specific token chest that might not be immediately useful for their current superstar development needs. The rewards for these tiers should bridge the gap between "almost nothing" and the top-tier prizes, acknowledging the significant time commitment.

* Adjust Milestone Difficulty: Consider adding more achievable milestones in the middle of a contest, making it feel less "pay-to-win." You could introduce a tiered reward system where F2P players can still get decent rewards without hitting the final, extremely difficult milestone.

* Improve Reward Pools: Make the rewards in loot boxes and milestones more valuable. For example, guarantee a certain number of tokens or a specific rarity of superstar in a loot pull after a certain number of attempts.

* Introduce "Casual" Events: Create events that are less time-intensive and more focused on fun, with smaller but guaranteed rewards. This would cater to players who can't dedicate several hours a day to the game.

2. For Economy & Progression:

* Increase Resource Generation: Increase the amount of coins and tokens earned from daily missions, tours, and feuds. This would make the progression feel less like a grind.

* Introduce an Exchange System: Allow players to exchange lower-tier resources for higher-tier ones, or even duplicate superstar shards for a chance at a new one. This would make "junk" loot more valuable.

* Balance Power Creep: When introducing new superstars, instead of making them overwhelmingly powerful, focus on introducing unique abilities or synergies that add new dimensions to the gameplay. Buffing older, less-used superstars would also be a great way to re-engage the community.

3. For Gameplay & UI:

* Introduce More Match Types: Add new match types like "Elimination Chambers," "Royal Rumbles," or "Iron Man Matches" with unique rules and objectives. This would add variety and strategic depth.

* Improve Game Stability: Prioritize fixing bugs, crashes, and lag. A smooth, stable experience is crucial for player retention.

* Implement a Team Loadout System: Allow players to save a superstar, trainer, and coach combination as a "loadout" that can be quickly equipped. This would save a huge amount of time and frustration.

4. For the In-Game Shop:

* Add Bulk Purchase Options: This is a top priority for improving the user experience. Implement a slider or a quantity input field that allows players to buy items in bulk (e.g., 10, 50, 100, or max available). This simple change would save players countless clicks and make the shop much more efficient and pleasant to use.

I have generally got good things to say about this event and the last few events overall. I would just like to add that maybe we have some more control over the characters off which we are missing fewer shards. It would be great to be able to grind shards from good-old fashioned farming. Maybe we collect certain currency to be able to unlock very rare characters ie if we grind like 20-30 matches to be able to get 10 shards of absolutely rare characters.

In recent memory Scopely has been kind with giving out rare characters. I hope it will continue and I look forward to further improvements. I would also like to add that maybe you make boss faction event playable, even with my best players I come away empty handed

This is from one of your prior blog posts: “We’re putting the spotlight back where it belongs: on fun, fairness, and strategic domination. Your feedback drives our decisions.”

*busts up laughing while rolling on the floor*

THAT is the biggest bold face lie I have ever heard from Scopely as: Why do you keep asking for constructive criticism for every single event? You RARELY listen to the players as all you do is mostly copy and paste the same events (from previous showdowns, faction feuds, boss battles) with their janky issues along with the same old bugs and technical issues which the only difference is changing the bonus superstars needed and the name

So here is my version of ‘constructive criticism’ and it’s not just for this event (as I feel that if I keep bringing them up you ‘might’ listen as your track record shows you don’t care on what most of the player base complain about as a whole):

First of all, I know this is a business but please, Please… PLEASE!!!! leave the 100% pay to lose (as I don’t think it’s pay to win as the odds are highly against the player and worse than winner the lottery) events OUT of the game!!! If the players want to spend, it should be out of our own decision and instead of Fear Of Missing Out tactics to satisfy your bottom line!

Also, please don’t make tasks so massive grinds. sometimes I feel this game can sometimes be a second job, which is the opposite of what a game is supposed to be. A prime examples is Showdown events of deal an over inflated number of damage with a worthless wrestler/faction (50k damage or more) for just ONE point in an event!

For all events- Can you please put something in that a player needs to put some effort into faction events to be able to access milestones in that event. It is annoying that there are countless times that I see people who don’t put any work in and yet they get all the rewards. 

Talent Ups- Why are there no points for spending Icons of Wrestlemania or Golden Hall of Fame tokens? Also, you shouldn’t have tasks of increasing Talent of X class/era/faction OUT of other events as that’s draining resources of players and making us having to pick and chose on who to use for Talent Up events.

For feuds: FIX THE F’ING MATCHMAKING!!! I have lost count of how many times I get matched with someone having 3 30k talent opponent when I have 4 22.5k talent people and I can’t do a damn thing because I’m fighting an overpowered opponent due to the flipping crappy matchmaking. Just make it be based on a persons average not but the total sum. Also, provide more than just one opening for 2 players. It gets annoying to be matched with someone with two to three times more talent that just don’t want to wait so I get shafted being teamed up with an overpowered ally and have more options can be choose more on who to team up with instead of praying for someone not going balls to the wall.

Please put a damn cap (90% maximum) on Gem and Move Offense & Defense from medals and belts on anything player versus player as it gets really annoying seeing setups that can kill AI opponents with ease in tours and blitzes that get EXTREMELY nerfed in Showdown and Feuds because someone’s bloody RNG luck was better. I faced opponents with 100% up to close to 300%+ gem and move defense, HOW IN THE WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS IS THAT FAIR!?!?! (Surprise… it’s Scopely so they got two words for me). Oh… and to all those who say “just configure your character better”, I do the best I can with what the game’s RNG does for me and I still get shafted up the glutes so stuck it in your ear with the “get good” comments. It’s not balanced, it’s totally unfair to players who are unlucky like me and to any player I see who has a character in showdowns and fued built with gem/move defense that high, I wish I could message them and say ‘Go F Yourself’ (and I would even say that to my faction members also) Also, please give the AI random medals in stead of the best stuff because it gets really annoying seeing them with top stuff while I’m dealing with trash due to RNG BS.

For Showdowns- Please make the per battle wins seem more worth the time. Example: the Power-Up Showdown, it doesn’t matter if players are in the NXT Division or the Undisputed Champion Division, a victory is worth JUST 55 evo tokens… kinda lame for those in higher divisions. Also, just 200 showdown coins for a regular showdown win, regardless which division is kinda lame too. Showdown battles in higher divisions take longer so it the rewards should reflect that.

This is for feuds and blitzes- is there anyway to have a ‘Clear Roster’ button as I hate having to do a juggling act of trying to clear out which characters I want to use when a simple button to clear out what I was using so I can redo what I want to use would help immensely.

For Boss Battles- PLEASE disable the move animations in this mode as time is limited per turn and they eat up so much time. Also, please reduce bosses health as battles aren’t supposed to be slogs due to insanely high health on the bosses and janky mechanics… and please give us SOMETHING when players try and fail to beat the boss as nothing irks me more than spending minutes to get NOTHING when the boss defeats the players.

Please lay off the steel cage rules. I swear it’s on every single event and it’s not even creative, it’s just straight up Grade A Laziness! Also, if there’s a limitation for players, PUT IT ON THE AI AS WELL!!! I think it’s complete bs that players can’t use some combination of belts, medals, trainers, or entourage BUT THE AI DOESNT HAVE THE SAME RESTRICTIONS… SERIOUSLY WTMFH?!?!?! I bet the players can come up with something WAY better than your ignorant developers can come up with. 

Can you also run recycling opportunities more often as even after the last recycling event, my inventory is still filled with junk that’s from years ago. I would think clearing out all that useless junk would help the game run smoother… but what do I know as I’m not a programmer or developer… or better yet, transform the items after an event is over into coins, tokens, or something that isn’t taking up space in player’s inventories.

How about when someone wants to quit a match, give us the option right away and not when it’s just our turn. I hate it when I’m stuck in a stun lock for over multiple turns and have to wait til I get pinned due to the pin bar taking ages to get there.

Someone please explain to me why when a screwup by your guys that when the player base is benefited by your boneheadedness it gets fixed immediately and anything that helps the company bottom line, it takes slower than a slug sliding through salt?

CAN YOU PLEASE POST THE BLOG POST FOR THE EVENTS ON YOUR BLOG AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU HAVE SOMEONE OVERANALYZING IT AND DRAGGING IT ON FOR AGES ON TWITCH BY TAKE FIVE TIMES AS LONG TO READ THE SAME M’FING THING WHEN I CAN!!!!

Also, please post on the blog for EVERY event as I hate seeing these mid-week events and get NOTHING in the blog saying about them which makes me think it’s just going to be a pay to lose event that is used to line your profits even more

And finally… can you please have some competent programmer to have actual links that works for your Facebook posts back to your blog… as it is almost comical that you have a link that doesn’t work time after time!

Do I think this will change ANYTHING? No as these issues are constantly there. I love the WWE and most parts of the game but it’s Scopely’s greediness and not willing to listen to the player base that makes me not recommend this game to ANYONE if I was asked.

I would love it for these braindead developers to play one full week with an average roster and realize how much of all these things I am giving constructive criticism about pisses most of the player base.

I will solely give feedback about this weekend event.

El Grande Americano “Numero Uno” is a great character to have in the game. New moment launched this week is also awesome one. Ozzy last show was also good one to have this weekend. Only this ones were the good part for me.

The problem for the weekend event was the milestone rewards given in solo contests. Tier 5 medals in these much quantity is not necessary these days. Rewards were very minimal this weekend. Me and my friends who are playing this game for past 6,7 years are feeling bored this weekend. Not much interesting rewards to go for feuds. So please do some nice change for the players to be intrested. Specially add some good rewards in solo contest. The shards bags were also not worthy to have. Please increase quantity of shards and quantity of bags also.

Also in feud events, pull ration in paid pull seems ackward. Increase pull rate for rare cards there.

Also this week not much feud medallions were given which was also down points this weekend. Prizewall was great but we get very less medallions.

Feud bags which was at 300m is always the trash one. We are loosing interest to go for that. Always repeating skill plates there. Add different skill plates in every feud.

Since i am not technical person, will not able to say about how the game played. But as a regular player i can tell you, it was most boring event so far. Make it more interesting to play.

Thank you

he powerful but couldn’t win him but help my other superstars thanks

Likes:

• The now-standard Feud format (a few CSS for the Solo Contest, and then CSS wins by class/era). Provides incentive to change my lineup throughout the feud with reasonable but varied requirements.
• The prize wall seemed to be calibrated fairly well for reasonable spending/grinding.

Dislikes:

• The lack of a faction event (other than the feud itself). We are seeing many players who just aren't inspired to feud just for the sake of faction rank, especially during the summer months. Either add a faction event as a companion or increase the faction rewards in the feud prizes.
• The feud chests. I often feud enough to max the feud milestones, but I literally cannot remember ever pulling anything "good." It would be nice to see a more guaranteed tangible prize of some sort for reaching 500M (the extra Blitz tickets are not "worth it," to me).

I enjoyed the contest except for one aspect.

the feud rewards seemed to be lacking. Scoring points seemed to be easier since the introduction of using every class of superstars, and even certain eras as opposed to only certain sueprstars.

Having a new character as the top reward in the weekend event was a very good idea, but it seemed unattainable unless you had all of the specialty characters and probably spend enough money on loot tokens to already get the character.

Paying respect to Ozzy by having a contest for him was a nice gesture, but i think people would’ve enjoyed it more if it wasn’t just a loot coin contest where the big spenders were the only real beneficiaries.

I enjoy using different classes in feuds and strategizing on different superstars to use to maximize points. It also helps me realize where I am lacking in my roster development. This is much more enjoyable over just grinding away at feud with your best character.

everything seems good, but my issue is with the loot distribution. How can I pull 555 times, and not get anything that’s advertised on that loot? Odds were never that bad before.

this faction feud setup was really good. Mid line bonus is attainable for everyone and warscore is a grindable competition that anyone can max if they are willing to work for it.

One suggestion I have is regarding the skill plate rewards. I don’t expect you to hand out the best every time and I understand the higher odds of weaker plates. Perhaps a skill plate exchange similar to the evo token exchange would be beneficial. More would grind out even if they are concerned they may get a weak old plate. Down the road can swap say 10 mysterio mask for a devils drip or yeet.

Enjoying the grindable content keep it up 👍

I have no complaints, it was an excellent feud and I was able to get several things.

I love that you guys gave us another chance get ozzy thank you I got teach punt in the loot and I hate how mr uno has his green move charge already
