    For one, it’s a waste of resources. Only giving us credit for one of each token when we evolve or enhance? Not cool. And the credit you get for that is minimal and not even a substantial boost in the contest. Then you have the ability to increase talent on select superstars but again, just like the token rewards the reward for the talent increase is bogus compared to an actual TalentUp. It’s got to be either a joke and/or a spit in the face to the community when things like this are implanted. I’m told that the team plays the game as well but I honestly can’t believe that anymore at this point because if they did they wouldn’t make the poor choices and moves they continuously make.

    Im positive that every single time one of these filler events have been introduced, the community has overwhelmingly given negative feedback. See screenshot of a poll to the community on this contest - how can the team possible be proud of okay with this?

    I posted early but I'll share my original thoughts and add more too it.


    I think having multiple talent ups in a row is an interesting idea, but the points needed to complete each one feel way to high and out of reach. Furthermore, some of the additional ways to get points bottleneck the user to spend their resources on specific characters. The first three days of the event require users to level up a certain type of character and to spend a specific color token. Examples so far:


    Day 1: Level-up any nWo character and spend yellow tokens. Best characters for that: nWo Mr. Perfect, nWo Big Show, Harlem Heat Booker T, and Randy Savage "Madness"


    Day 2: Level-up any MotU character and spend blue tokens. Evil Skull King Triple H is the best character for this day.


    Day 3: Level-up any DX Army character and spend black tokens. Chyna "DX Army" is the best character for that.


    So to optimize your resources you need to spend them on the specific characters above. Day 1 gave some variety, but the next two days, users have to have two very rare characters to have any type of shot of maxing out for the day.


    Additionally some of the CSS are pretty silly. Day 3 Hell CSS is Authority Triple H. General consensus with Authority Triple H is that you get his talent to 5000 talent and never touch him again. I would love to know the actual number of people who have him at 5-stars because I bet it is a very low number.


    Overall, this event feels like a giant coin and resource sink. I'm sure the top tier factions will have no issue grinding it out, but I imagine most users have no real shot. I personally will save my resources for a normal talent up where I have a better chance of completing the event.

    I want this event to be over so fast as this is the a rehash of that god awful 12 days of Christmas event that I couldn’t do anything because of their stupid restrictions

    How about making something that actually benefits the players than lining your pockets

    Maybe take a break from these copy and paste mini events to give players time to rebuild their resources for an ACTUAL talent up instead of these half asses baked ideas

    Give us more opportunities than open up our wallets for pulls to earn points... a majority of players don’t want to do that

    Dont restrict to using one token of each type as most players won’t spend until a TRUE talent up

    Increase the tours to more than one node

    More points in blitz... 10 points is a slap in the face

    Loved the February event but sorry to say this 2 week event is bad. 6 days in almost and top team is at milestone 3. Prizes are not worth the effort and wasting tokens on such little bit of prizes would be an extrme waste. Not sure who came up with the idea on getting points on one token when it takes mutliple tokens to upgrade character's. That right there in it self sums up the entire event. Then tomorrows event 150 pts and having to use a characrer 100 times in showdown. Thats crazy for so little points and you expect someone to play them that many times. Honestly this could be the worst event i have ever seen you guys have after probably one of the best months you have had. You need to save face on the content somehow.

    This event is very very bad and I can explain to you why. You simply can't make any good amount of points in this events. There are harsh restrictions on charakters to use and harsh limits on token to count. You get nearly no good reward until you hit a very high milestone. For this technician event I was able to beat all 3 tour nodes with the needed superstar. I used a 3 silver and gold token to bring a 2g char up to 3 bronze. I used nearly a third of the "level any technician" points and I hardly reached milestone 5 being hardly 1/4 into the points needed to max the event. Resources are so rare in this game, especially the higher ones (4s !!! 4g, 5s, 5g, 5d) that 100k points for a 5d token is simply not worth it.

    I think you should try to motivate your players to play the game with rewarding milestones. But I think you actually don't care if the people play, as long as they pay for your slot machines.

    Day 4 has been a big improvement compared to the first 3 days. Not only were the total milestones lowered to 800k, but the rewards were in my opinion worth the resources. While the talent up part isn't great, if you have cards ready to go already it's ok to do them. It's good that the blitz is grindable and that Big E gear was well worth the ~70k blitz tickets to get.


    Day 5 looks tough, and very spendy. If factions want to max it's going to be a big ask. 1'000 5 star diamond tokens means every person in the faction needs to do 1 5 star silver enhance, which is really not feasible for almost all. Even if that is done, and if the 1 million in MDM talent up, and the 100 HOF Ted matches (all big ifs), you would still be short ~3k pulls, and that's at the higher rate that's offered in the first 4 hours. That would be around $150 per person for the faction to max. If the reward for maxing the faction part was a 3 star HOF or NWO Ted, maybe some would go at it harder. Will be interesting to see how many people actually get 1 million IGC from the money bag.

    What’s wrong is horrible rewards that are attainable and decent rewards that aren’t attainable. For instance one of the days I got every bonus except for 2 SD matches I didn’t have the superstars for. I also did about 30 pulls and only got MS 7 of 16

    This event is a large departure from previous months. It has made me want to play the game far less. It's impossible to make progress. I liked having the superstar at the start of the challenge that I could bust my ass all month trying to level up. Now working to get shards for a superstar I may or may not unlock depending on how the contest goes is just a let down. Talent up has been severely changed. Overall it's just too large of a departure from past events and frankly isn't fun.

    This event just purely sucks @ss.

    If your going to run events like this do it more like a talent up. Instead of getting points for 1 token give it for the total amount spent. Give better rewards that one star tokens that no one ever uses. It's been so horrible that I've completely stopped playing. Using auto clears to get the daily stuff.

    People do not want to waste their tokens and not get anything in return.


    Also quit sending auto messages and actually read the people's issues. You keep adding new crap to the game instead of focusing actual issues. Like this crappy event. Since most people are basically taking 2 weeks off doesn't mean support and developers have to.

  • This event is very un-engaging I have experienced ao far. I cannot imagine that not keep players engaged in the game has a positive effect on the number of players that spend. Last month I felt like I could not exit the game. This month, I have nothing to do that keeps me playing.

    This event is garbage everything that has been stated prior echoes what I feel about this event.

    I have not spent a penny since emptying out the snoop vault for the trick prizes.

    All of the added developmental issues with the prize distribution from the last MLC have demotivated me to play this app in the usual manner that I have previously.

    This app is taking a turn for the worst.

    Scopely might have finally pushed the community to its limits.

    This game doesn’t feel playable at all.

  • Today's event is a perfect example. You do everything and you are roughly 300K short of maxing. Sure, $700 to max a daily event at 900 points per pull. Get serious, really.

    Not a fan of the filler, as many I will not waste resources on a filler. Showdown was good easily max able. Other than that nothing big here with this contest.

    From one of the best events (Snoop) to one of the worst...

    This is not hard....

    Spending resources should get rewards, otherwise it is just spending resources.

    Spending time playing the game should get rewards, not spending money

    Spending time playing the game should be fun, not a grind, and should feel like you have achieved something for playing.

    Pros- There are some good rewards. Some days are grindable. If you can hit the milestones MDM is a top tier that is reasonable to obtain.


    Cons-balancing of the points/days are pretty poor. Faction days were struggles for the vast majority of factions. Only getting points 1 time for 5sd as an example made it unappealing to many. Most have no reasonable chance to get enough points to recruit ted.

    Thanks to your guys' feedback here.


    Could you please elaborate a bit more on the "not playable" part?


    Best,

    The difficulty was horrible, as an example like needing “The Authority HHH” to get the bonuses against a Hell leveled Fiend.

    It’s hard enough as it is to earn or buy resources to level up the characters that I would like to level up much less build up a lesser used character like “The Authority HHH”.

    Also the 4SS Tokens are so Scarce the required amount to make a 5SS are unreal. I have been working on upgrading my current 5SB characters to 5SS since the 5SS characters became active and I have hit major roadblocks like most of the other players.

    For Example:

    I tried these pulls but got 95% 3SG Tokens:

    These are the numbers for today as an example:

    Very unrealistic expectations.
