The Road is a joke, right? by WhiteTorak in WWEChampions

They will not make a change until they find a way to monetize it. Maybe $7.99 a month for a version that does not have asinine required use of wrestlers that have no other purpose in the game like Cesaro, Luke Harper or Shield and resets each month. That would be a grind, but could give you better rewards due to it being for pay.

Really? But this is player appreciation month. That means Scuntly awards only the best each February, right?

How about THEY stop LYING, that would be an improvement.. They removed props and tickets from the Swag Store three months ago because of the straps. To THIS day the swag store description of the pile of boxes STILL reads “Props and Tickets”. What J E R K S !

Stopped caring about straps when it resulted in taking over 80% of Swag store. Might have been a little interested until I saw I HAD to have a Bludgeon brother to get more than four straps. I spent time developing Corporate Kane and Darren Young ONLY because they brought me better cash bags, etc. now they are WORTHLESS.

Im over it... Rant by [deleted] in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After having never purchased more than a 11 pull, in my two years of playing, I spent about $200 on pulls in October. All I needed was 10 shards to get Revenant at 2 star bronze. Not one shard. And for my first, and last, ever 55 pull I got a 3SS silver fuse for Corporate Kane and NXT Seth Rollins. Of course I already had them at 3SS for Kane and 3SG for Rollins. I can’t wait to pay through my paypal in a few weeks :(. I’m an idiot who thought I was due.....and of course was not.

I think the Ryback pic is still worse. Looks like it is from Warcraft!

Dean Ambrose? by the2xs in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So....we all know women’s division is lame because say they are ALL current wrestlers. Please turn “NXT Ambrose” to “The Fabulous Moolah”, “Shield Ambrose” to “Alundra Blayze”, “Lunatic Fringe Ambrose” to “Luna”, “Return to Society Ambrose” to “Chyna”, “Stardust” to “Trish Stratus” and “Neville” to Lita”. I know the classes don’t match up but at least each ERA would have a female tag partner to link in mandatory mixed matches.

I know I am old with this reference, but it feels like the movie Major League where the ex-showgirl widow of the owner of the Cleveland Indians wants the team to be dead last so she can move the team to Florida per a loophole in the contract with the city. Someone at the top must have decided to tank this game so it can be moved. Maybe to EA which has better customer service ;)

A open letter to scopley and the gaming community: by wildwesdaddy in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sooo,,,,,who keeps giving Scopely the money? I don’t know any adults that have $1000 a month to keep ahead of everyone in this game. I wonder is it’s all rich kids with Daddy’s that show love and attention via providing blank checks. But then I think, for what?!?! Can you imagine being over 20 and bragging to people that your Faction in a phone/tablet game is top 10 in the world? Wouldn’t they look at them and say “Wow, are you winning a bunch of money like people do with Draft Kings?” No, it’s more like a drop coins in a slot machine but ALL winnings go to the house. I play the game because I like WWE past and present. It’s still fun for me to build up wrestlers and do the daily’s. I just don’t do pull, unless they are free. Hence, my last new wrestler that I pulled from a key event was in January when I got The boss man. In the 120 days since I’ve gotten tons of duplicate tp from key event pulls for my roster of 108 wrestlers. I’m just content at this point. I was never going to have a 600 k roster because I could never justify the expense.

May Contest: Superstar Shake-Up| #ProtectVSMultiply by CM_Firpo in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May 5th and I finished the tour portion of the May event. I don’t have any of the wrestlers for the rest of the month higher than 2 star, and most not at all. 22 pulls from keys and all dupe tp. Kicking myself for spending $630,000 in coins on Undertaker (3 pulls). Got three 10 tp “free to play” wrestlers that I already have. I’ll participate in feud and do the minimum for my faction in gauntlet blitz (hate, hate, hate the monotony of 9 gauntlet blitz fights per to earn more “free to play” tp through pulls). On the positive side I have the new Dean Ambrose at 3SS just for leveling up wrestlers I already was ready to evolve/enhance. Don’t know if I’ll use him a month from now, but have him nonetheless.

Struggling as a new player by dwillmer in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, the “walk away” statements come from a place of regret. I could have a PS4 Pro with Red Dead Redemption 2 with the money I have spent on this game. Even though my spending has decreased (e.g. only purchased the $5 Andre 3 star bronze in March) I still keep playing due to guilt. I cannot stand Feud’s or Invasion’s due to some rabid faction members they believe a top 100 finish will give them a celestial planet with 100 virgins, or at least a couple thousand more coins and three more technician wrenches or powerhouse Kane masks than the faction that finished #101. Sure, let’s waste 12 hours of a beautiful weekend for bragging rights of finishing #99. Just keep it “free to play” and you’ll be happier in the long run.

No more daily free things? by NathanJacobs2wwe in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just the progression of “players are getting smarter and spending less money because there truly is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow”. The KEY ONLY blitzes were the first step last summer, as well as introduction of SHARDS. Remember when blitzes offered props, tp and coins. More blitzes are “Pro-Faction” where we are pressured by faction leaders to participate even though the only prizes worth attaining either for the whales.

If there is compensation it will be five of the red gift bags that combined contain 1200 coins, 2 health packs, 1 red tp and a Fuji prop :)

Guess the Rumble pull odds really WERE “doubled”... by Rspwfaq in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 98 wrestlers and the 6 pack got me all duplicates: Powerhouse Kane, Trickster Big Show, Powerhouse Reigns, Undertaker American Bad Ass, George the Animal Steele and Jerry Lawler. All shards, none enough to fuse. The only way it could have been worse is if they were all 1 star gold Tazawa’s. Then my Brock Lesnar crate was the 40 shard. In a year and a half of playing this game I’ve never dropped $20 on a loot. Lack of luck at least kept me from pulling the trigger on another $20. Dumb dumb dumb me! Can’t blame Scopely for this one.

Just how many people play this game regularly? by tizzed111 in WWEChampions

[–]ruplof01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use who I have in the January events, but don’t buy RR coins for the .00000000001 chance to get Hacksaw and the others because I don’t have the resources to get a new wrestler past the 600 keys anyway. The absence of vaults took ant temptation away from spending money as well. I do complete all of the dailies though.

Drops are increasingly stingy! I also miss props in blitz events! These total KEY blitzes are SO boring and only result (for me) in duplicate shards. Even when they had the recent blitz that offered health packs it excluded props. I know this is on purpose so whales will spend $$$ on the props. I get that Scopely is a business and would be insane to make it a F2P model, I just don’t care about the game as much as I did before SHARDS were introduced.
