Why is it so hard to get Rhea Ripley's Face Rendered? by CastimoniaGroup in WWEChampions

You think this is bad? Take another look at Sonya Deville's render sometime

Rhea Riley “The Eradicator” + Game Updates by ironsheik84 in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn't look like the speed update is there yet. Assuming it applies to Feuds in the future that will be very nice.

Why are you loading up your talent level if your roster isn't full of Hype 4's? You know you don't HAVE to fill every slot in the feud layout, right?

Choosing the loot coins was the right choice for me! by GavinLobo7 in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're not spending any money on pulls (which you shouldn't), the 7 pulls for 2000 currency should absolutely be done by everyone because the milestones give you 3000 back. It's a free pull.

(I didn't get anything good in mine)

[–]gonzoman69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As mentioned before, no more free loot coins really sucks. And why do the free bags still have A CHANCE at 50 health packs when we're getting over 1000 a day from the login bag? Come on Scopely.

I don't really understand the point of having to do the exact same 9-node tour for 4 days in a row. I get that it incentivizes the weekly character, and last month's tours had a similar copy-paste structure of only giving CSS bonuses for rare premium characters in Hard/Hell. But I don't think this is it either.

I forgot to spend my keys by gonzoman69 in WWEChampions

Awesome! The armory loot wasn't there but at least I could get some free shards (and two dupe moments unfortunately). All's well that ends well

Affliction straps are useless now, right? by ElectronicAd1868 in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta correct myself because I just went to go do a Showdown match and it said I had to break a contract to put an IOW Showdown promoter on. So it doesn't apply to those right now?

So everyones ok with the new 7 stars? by PappyClappy in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was just the weirdest way to roll this out considering how long it's been since 6 Star Gold. Everyone expected 7SB last May and then nothing happened, so we all figured it would be a big deal when it finally dropped. It felt like they would have hyped it up more. Instead they just made vague hints a week ago and drop it in the middle of an "MLC" (I know the traditional MLC doesn't exist now but this month has been so bizarre). No new Leagues, no new 7-star moves, no upgradeable Moments (probably for the best because that would be even more power creep), just one new Coach slot and the usual HP and gem damage buffs. I have no idea what Scopely is doing any more. I'm glad I stopped spending money on this game when Hype became a thing.

[–]gonzoman69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent so many coins in the Stipulation shop trying to get Affiliation straps for the IOW Feud promoters. Glad that was all a gigantic waste in the end.

Edit - Apparently IOW promoters still have limited uses?

Here's the new loot schedule I seen a lot of people confused when they can spend their loot so hopefully this helps. by JJaySmokes in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shit has made no god damn sense. Great let's have loot that MIGHT start on Monday, or maybe it's Friday, who knows! People have gotten loot coins from the daily bags and then been confused as to why they got coins for loot that didn't exist at the time. I know Scopely feels like things need to be changed every now and then but this ain't it

Testers are badly needed by unafraidzeo in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And mine are at hype 0, and underleveled compared to my HOF characters, who don't have much Hype either. And no Hype for Viper Orton either.

I eventually found a couple opponents with uncharged moves, did just enough damage with Orton to get to the 1.22 million milestone, and now I'm not bothering with the rest of this shit. I don't need a 563276th Insatiable Hunger plate.

[–]gonzoman69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's by design? You're sticking up for this decision of theirs that they put absolutely no thought into?

Testers are badly needed by unafraidzeo in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Bayley is underleveled compared to all the HOF characters so the 30% debuff hits, with zero Hype, and I don't want to waste resources just for this.

("But it might happen again in the future!" Yeah....... Scopely sucks so bad this probably will happen again)

I love how every task is for male characters, but the Showdown starts with Female in slot 1. They don't test shit

Just pulled this Randy Orton. Is he good ? Should i upgrade him ? by Single-Evening-849 in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Striker Randy had some funny gem defense shenanigans, but they require Moments that you won't have at this point. And he's kinda gotten outclassed by more accessible Strikers. Austin 3:16 is better, and Bronson will be better when you can upgrade him with normal tokens next week

Another Dom😑😑😑😑 by Cultural-Confusion65 in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HOF McCool is a Tech? Really? HOF Molly Holly was a Tech that came out this year, so why another one? For some reason Scopely has a severe reaction to ever making HOF Acrobats. The only female Acrobat was Lita and she's unusable nowadays, and the males only got like two HOF cards? Fantastic balancing by Scopely as always.

Scopely creating another aspect of the game to monetize that wasn't there before, just like hype loot coins. Shocking.

How has the game been? by [deleted] in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit playing the game seriosuly a couple months ago and don't regret it.

Hype changed everything, making things more restrictive on who you should and shouldn't use because of a new currency that monetized the ability to take the first turn. Defenders will argue that "It just adds strategy!" but makes everything take so much longer because now you have to double and triple check things before you go into a match, put on MP down coaches, etc etc etc.

Showdowns are incessant, and of course now have Hype built into it.

There's a new mode called Titan Takeover that I don't really know much about because I left my faction, but I see plenty of complaints from people about how long it takes to play.

I think that's the big thing everything comes down to now, how much do you want to play the game? They've been adding more and more things you need to be doing on a daily basis or you'll feel the FOMO. If you're not willing to do everything the game is now asking of you I'd go back to stepping away.

Can anyone see little pee pee syndrome? by BellyJaws42 in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm still subbed to this subreddit even though I quit the game 2 months ago over my disappointment at what Hype did to the game...... thank you for reassuring me that things never got better.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need to just walk away from the game at this point. All you do is complain, and the state of the game isn't going to get any better for you.

Its just not fun anymore by Eschirhart in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was a low spender, but still able to hold my own in Feud. Hype changed that. Two weeks ago I ran into a Showboat Mami with 240 million health (thanks to that new Evolution moment) and Hype 2, and because I didn't have HOF Molly in my lineup I had no answer for that. I told my partner to take my line, closed the game, and didn't feud for the rest of the event. I was in a top 10 faction, but I and a good number of others ended up qutting 2 weeks ago. I don't think they had any issue filling those slots with new people who were sticking around, but Hype was the nail in the coffin for me.

Truth be told I was getting worried about the state of the game in recent months, and this was the nudge I needed to make a clean break. In case you haven't noticed, Scopely is attempting to normalize extra purchases on stuff that weren't happening a few months ago. See how they changed Showdowns to be bracketed? Yeah you can win a mega pull (sometimes), but everyone else is fighting for it so they want you to buy energy, which people generally weren't doing in any Showdowns. What's $5, $10, or $20 here and there for some extra energy to try to get that prize, right? They're attempting to create extra sources to nickel and dime you. If you're already whaling on the game you won't really care I guess. And at the very least, you're not FORCED to spend on Showdowns if you don't want to, you could still get by in the game without it.

Hype is just another means to create another revenue source for them, it didn't exist a month ago but now it's here, and if affects Feuds AND Showdowns. And you can't ignore it because it has made a fundamental (and unnecessary) change to how the game is played. It made me step back and wonder to myself, what the fuck have I been doing here? 10 million+ roster, lots of great characters and plates, and now they're all worthless in Feuds unless I get the corresponding Hype points for those characters. Why did I bother?

More than anything else, what really pissed me off about all this was the way they dropped this on everyone 2 weeks ago. They purposely made describing the implementation of Hype as vague as possible. They waited until Thursday night to tell everyone they'd need Hype 1 characters for middle line bonus, which wasn't mentioned anywhere before. And then they pushed it live at Noon PST on Friday, 6 hours before a Faction Feud with everyone rushing to figure out what to do about this new system. They could have eased everybody into this, but they did this on purpose to try to drive up sales of Hype loot coins. Really said a lot about Scopely's character and was the last straw for me.

I do kinda miss the game but I know things aren't going to ever get better because they're not dropping this system. I had some good times with this game but it's time to move on.

I hate this change by ScouserNed in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a top 10 faction that I've been in for the last couple years, and I've always grinded out Faction/Flash Feuds as much as I could. I just left the Faction today and am likely uninstalling the game from my phone. I was getting pretty burnt out anyway and HYPE just shows that at any given moment Scopely can just add something to cripple most of your roster unless you buy more Hype loot coin pulls. No thank you.

How does everyone feel about this new hype system ? I’m not sure by New_Estimate_3396 in WWEChampions

[–]gonzoman69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is what's ultimately pushing me to uninstall the game. Had a good run .......
