Oh look...another S-Class toon. Laopo S-Class was released; you need 2 5*to exchange for one 6*...But...250 pulls guarantees you 1 5*. Approximate cost for Laopo S-Class is $1200 ish....which is a "bargain" to Priya
Scopely "feels" bad because they couldn't stop the release of Laopo [even though they did postpone the release of Priya 😒] so they gave players 500 ice cream cones or keys towards S-Class collectibles. 4.5% of what a player needs. To soften the blow...
Mmhm. So, lick away my friends

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, that blog I mentioned last week didn't actually exist. Therefore, where is this "new blog with a regular cadence of content"?
There's a Player Council. Some players announced that they are members.
Scopely made a statement that it existed 6 days after Ladygeek did.
There is still a huge lack of information.
If the purpose is 'to strengthen communication lines between players and the development team', it actually created walls that are ineffective in funneling info to Scopely.
Scopely posted about 3 messages on forums in 24hrs regarding issues, compensation etc. Folks said "thank you for being better at communicating". But, the communication is still horrendous. They don't seem to read forums or tags to get a sense of community response
GRADE D-/F
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
Arena issues continue. But we are waiting as Scopely folks are being poked for solutions. 😐
Hordes is still broken
Events were cancelled for this week and weekend bc there are still tech issues. --> some compensations for arena problems and cancelled war…. However, there tends to be glitches with those rewards. Fingers crossed
GRADE D
LAST WEEK: GRADE F+
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. Problematic bc there are advantages to p2w. This also affects leagues. Folks who had issues were affected negatively in multiple areas.

OVERALL
The updates have lost their luster by now
The "Promises" post. Leave it pinned. And where is the road map for the promises?
Another slap in the face with S- Class Laopo. Please stop the abuse.
Frustrations and "not feeling heard" by Scopely pushed more players to quit. It sucks.
And the gap between players widens. Its colossal. Gigantor.
Prizes are atrocious. Killing any incentive to play the game. This is 100% controlled by Scopely, and seems like a straightforward fix.
Players Council (pc) got too much criticism and are being used by Scopely as human shields.
Scopely needs to take responsibility for themselves and not shrug off attention to people who are not employees.
The tactic of "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" will not work.
Scopely is in charge. They need to read their forums. And fix their game.
Region transfers. Players have been begging for info and need to be able to recruit for missing players. Today we were told "possibly Sept 5th" in line. But nothing on forums.
