GRADE C

LAST WEEK: GRADE F

 

BASIC GAMEPLAY UPDATES

  • Increase to Roster Cap

  • New Player Levels

  • More permanent collections offering relevant characters (incl. Gen 2 legendaries and S-Class)

  • More frequent Log-in Event

  • Three additional Legacy Ascendables will be released by the end of October

  • Updates to Survival Road; Updates to Faction Assault

WEEKLY PROGRESS

> Greater roster space

> Another free login event related to arenas

> New legacy Hershel with mediocre stats (only affects 1 teammate, 1 enemy)

> New legacy Hershel was released at the same time as an offer to purchase him at about $5. Sigh….first time that Scopely has done this, making players (esp f2p) question the incentive of holding onto toons

> As predicted, Sclass Priya was released; players needed to pull for a chance at collectibles to get 2 6* Priyas to exchange for an S Class 😐 really Scopely?


GRADE C-

LAST WEEK: GRADE D-

 

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

> so, apparently there is a blog, but since we didn't know about it, can we say poorly communicated

> (no Player Council Info..its crickets)

EDIT: and then LadyGeek posted an informative thread with info, which will be looked at more closely for next week😊

> Communication from Scopely and CMs keeps getting worse as questions and tags are ignored on forums

> the "Scopely Promises" post was unpinned on forums, implying to players that it wasn't a priority

> Arenas was released with a major lack of information regarding scoring, match ups etc


GRADE D-

LAST WEEK: GRADE D

 

TECHNICAL STABILITY

  • Making the gameplay experience as smooth as possible. Scopely acknowledges that recently they have experienced a lot of technical bugs. they are committed to making this a top priority and will aim to deliver the high quality experience their players deserve.

WEEKLY PROGRESS

> The updates were released early because Scopely had technical difficulties prior to last week's CRW...which was again postponed 7 hours

> Many issues with the new event of Arenas, which are being noted, including set defences not being used, players being locked out and now also loosing all progress and rewards.

> continued issues and disruptions that are not compensated fairly or appropriately

> newest update today has left many players unable to even access Arenas


GRADE F+

LAST WEEK: GRADE D

 


NEW GAMEPLAY / GAME EXPERIENCE

  • Creating and adding new features to Road to Survival which enhance the game

  • Create new experiences for players

WEEKLY PROGRESS

> Arenas has been released, with many criticisms and suggestions from players; so much is unclear

> still feels p2w


GRADE D

LAST WEEK: GRADE F

 

OVERALL

> Folks have enjoyed some of the updates to wheels and crates and had fun pulling hoarded tokens

> Unpinning the "Promises" post and not addressing related questions tells the player community that its not important to Scopely

> S Class Priya 😐 Felt like a total slap in the face and undid any good spirit won with the new updates

> Arenas and the release of Priya pushed even more players to quit the game

> And the gap between players widens


OVERALL GRADE F+

LAST WEEK: GRADE D-
