Again… "new player levels; faction assault; survival road?”
S-Class. Biggest concern in relation to the 'healthy future' of the game. Criticisms, concerns and suggestions made by the community, forums and even PC are ignored by Scopely - but remember how bad they felt 2 weeks ago? We got a few keys or ice cream as an apology??
Well, no more apologies from Scopely about S-class.
Typhoon event is underwhelming and after much work and effort, players can earn a 6-star toon (with inadequate skills and stats for the new meta). Many will likely not be able to complete this as a F2P event.
Players are disappointed again, again, again.

COMMUNICATION
Launching a new blog with a regular cadence of content;
Player Council to update and discuss our promises outlined, and to strengthen communication lines between players and the development team
Greater communication from our community managers in our forums and other community channels
WEEKLY PROGRESS
NO BLOG!.
Player Council- questions still unanswered by Scopely. Instead, some members, most notably LadyGeek, have given updates and notes from discussions in a clear, honest and direct manner
Communication still is insufficient and getting worse. Because now posts and statements are made that contradict prior posts. Lies. Inaccuracies. Purposely difficult to follow......this is how the community has described Scopely communication.
A need for consistency in communication. For example, what's the point of an events calendar if it gets changed repeatedly, without reason. War is the event that defines this game. Players change their plans to participate. However, constant flip flop of weekends and abrupt cancellations makes commitment to CRW casual. This is perhaps the most significant measure of remaining game interest. No matter how crappy the game has been, folks cleared their schedules for war.
But not any more.
Because of confusing region transfer instructions, some missed opportunities to move

Faction hordes event this week
The buildup for typhoon event was deflated by the actual event. Yawn.
Also….the mission objectives require P2P toons and/or F2P toons that are unavailable to newer regions, which is obviously unfair to many players. Regions are organizing themselves to help each other earn achievements. In the same manner that we did #skull/coingate. So, mixed messages from Scopely.

OVERALL
Forums is filled with complaints, concerns, questions and issues, but most are all ignored or trolled.
Oy! Scopely…. Read your messages and stop ghosting us.
New S-class Raulito is another game changing toon that will royally eff up teams. How do you get him? Jumping through a bunch of Scopely hoops, using their RNG and their "numbers"
Earning or purchasing or gathering the collectibles to exchange for an S-class toon comes at a punishing rate. Folks don't mind a grind, however the items come at such low numbers and low odds that by the time an average player accumulates enough, that toon will be "old" given the new rate of meta changes.
Another point to note, players are left in the dark about how many collectibles are possible to get from a given action. Scopely's Secrets..soon to be selling lingerie 👙
More evidence this week that the odds by Scopely are fraudulent. Inaccurate. Purposely misleading. Mathematically wrong or impossible. But….the pictures look pretty
Players keep quitting because they believe that Scopely doesn't care about the community.
Prizes are at their worst. ½ of a 5-star toon for winning 1st place in faction raid?? No wonder people don't want to play. No point.
Region transfers happened. Now we are locked in for at least a month.
CRW was matched according to wave 1, 2 or 3. This is a terrible precedent for F2P players and factions in wave 1. Forced to try and earn milestones facing heavily OP teams and factions skews war. Never mind the fact that there were more regions in CRW groupings, and yet the prizes sucked harder than a Hoover. What's the point of warring?! If this becomes regular practice, more frustrated players will stop playing and the community will continue to shrink to a smaller number and concentration of high level spenders
S-class toons were supposed to be "rare and uncommon" according to the original post and other communications. However, after Scopely's "apology cones", they have contradicted themselves to say that there will be S-class toons at a rate of 1 every 2 weeks. But….no no. Not a reset. Not "7-stars". Not killing the game.
PuhLeeeeeeeeze.
