      Pay to win is why I'll never resub or allow myself to get very involved with this game. I did expend a LOT of time and resources to just walk away but now that I'm retired I can pop on and do whatever is current. DCUO may be the absolute worst MMO for pay to win. Honestly the game feels like a cheap phone game. As long as we have ESO, GW2, STOR, WoW and FF who needs to play a bad MMO?

    I posted on TH-cam and the DCUO forums a question about The Batman Who Laughs toxin (Defense Debuff) in Survival Mode. It really irked me that the only response I seemed to get was, "You won't be top DPS using that." That-wasn't-the-question. The question was whether it would help the group out enough to justify using it. Yet for some reason even in Survival Mode being top of the score card was everyone's main concern. :P

Top dps is great if you've been playing for years and/or have a huge amount of money to waste on the game, I'm just out here trying to figure out which power rotation clicks with me and where to allocate my meager resources to improve as much as I can so that I'm not a burden to pugs (as much).

    Hi there, I play on PS4 (no PS4 Plus) for free with 2 characters. But now I want to create more characters without paying membership every month. I see two options but am not sure which one works or is worthy.
    (1) Spent $500 marketplace money to get 6 characters and buy 3 power sets. Are the new power sets permanent for use without a membership? I mean, can I keep using the new characters with the new powers? Are the 3 new powers always available whenever I create a new character (within the limit of 6, of course)?
    (2) Get membership for 1 month. That I know will give me access to all powers and 16 characters. Imagine I create 10 characters with 10 new powers. When my membership expires, do I automatically become Premium and have access to 6 out of 10 newly created characters with the new powers? Or do I need to spend $500 marketplace money still to become Premium and before getting the membership?
    Hope my questions are clear. Thanks for your help! 🙏🏻

    It’s not pay to win, it’s pay to quick victory. Everything in the game can be grinded. Additionally, if you are going to buy, you can buy xp when they have a 50% sale and use the xp when it’s double xp. It’s also super easy to make money off the broker to buy anything additional you need. Source mark farming is easy as well, I wish people would stop saying it’s pay to win and turning players away. It’s an MMO, it’s suppose to be a grind, and the game needs to make money to have a staff to update the game and keep it going.

    • @ObsidianChill
      @ObsidianChill  ปีที่แล้ว

      A 200 rank artifact and rank 20 ally are more than a grind. It’s not practical to farm 1.6 mil xp and hundreds of catalysts for the 1/4+ artifacts and 300k ally favor and hundreds of catalysts for 1/3 Allies. Can it be done? Sure but as you said I’d players are desperately waiting and ONLY leveling during sales and 2x weeks that should tell you right there how unrealistic the natural “grind” is. DCUO isn’t p2w, if you play other mmos and that is a common term used between them then we need to invent a new word just for dcuo because dpsing is p2w. If you want to out dps another player this is all what you could need. There is no player EVER in dcuo that has naturally grinded dozens of artifacts and multiple Allies.

      @GamerDadRules ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ObsidianChill they have been doing more and more sales and double xp/drops. Allies are easy, favor and alliances drop in new time capsules you can open from monthly rewards. Plus you can buy alliances, cats on broker. And money is SUPER easy to make in this game. Fate tokens and loyalty can be used for seals of completion. Everything else is just a grind to get. Everyone doesn’t need to be the best in the game, you can get to be doing sufficient damage pretty easily, and if you don’t have the time to grind, you can spend money if you choose. I personally barely spend anything other then monthly membership. It can be done. Again, games need to make money.

    • @sprtbm666
      @sprtbm666 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The Atomic Tank is far from being the best, in fact it is actually the worst, here is my argument.
      Taking into account that each Tank power has its special mechanism to mitigate damage, I have tested each of them in the same situation several times until reaching the following conclusion.
      The test was carried out with CR 408 in the open world Dakota City, with the 3 bosses spawning simultaneously. (mamooth always because it was the one that dealt the most damage)
      Fire: I could heal myself and survive several attacks. Although it is very ugly for me to waste time applying cures.
      Ice: Since its power is based on absorbing damage, I could perform many blockbreaks and almost did not depend on any type of healing, although I could run out of shield from time to time.
      Rage: this shit was always very OP, you only die if you make a mistake when cutting the crash.
      Ground: With afteshocks similar to Ice, although it is annoying to waste time hitting the ground and sometimes we are left vulnerable.
      With the pet it can be fun, but in elite+ practices they die all the time so it is not sustainable.
      Atomic: If we dedicate ourselves to playing it with the aura damage absorption method, and we try to heal ourselves with a combo or the proton remedy, we will not last long, we receive hits while doing a combo and we will lose the cures, its Destiny shield is one of the most weak inside the other tanks.
      If you test the unique mechanism that each power has, you will see that the atomic one is the worst.
      But you must try it in the most difficult instances, otherwise they will all seem the same to you.

    @opulentnotes ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the informative video -- it kind of clears the air considering how toxic some seasoned players can be against new players. I'm returning to DCUO, I still rock the original powers like ice and I use to swap out powers to test out different roles. My top favorite roles are tank and healer, but like you said it's about having fun and enjoying the powers/missions/characters etc. It's not worth spending 1000s in a game, eventually with time you'll max out and then when the next DLC drop, you just do it all again: grind, upgrade, repeat.

    To repair I’ve been thinking about coming back, but I wanna just create a character that uses guns. I can’t find it any relationship to which weapons are good with which powers and more importantly, what would be a good power set to go with using a rifle or the dual pistols because I played a lot of these games and it’s been my opinion all along that you should play with you like, don’t worry about what’s best what’s matter what to be fair you’re never gonna reach. Most players aren’t never gonna reach that met status with the set of abilities and weapons. Anyway, it’s a gold shoot for that. Most casual players aren’t gonna see but while you’re getting there, you have to be enjoying what it is you’re doing, so you should pick weapons and gear and abilities that are fun that you like to use so I kind of been comparing and trying to find videos without having to do it manual online myself to figure out what is a practical combo and I got you know I have a feeling it’ll end up being gadget because you know guns gadgets on super power powered character, you know can’t be flying or speed running. It’ll probably have to be acrobatics gadgets and a gun but I I kinda looking for you know like a Dr or some character combination you know jokers some role-playing aspect that puts a power with guns and makes it a role-playing thing you know makes it right Quit trying to cater to the fallout 76 have a character that still uses shredder on a mini gun but the entire character is a food and I can do anything kill anything go anywhere in any content is just boring. Mostly I grind everything but if I decide to I have half a dozen different ways to kill stuff grenade, launcher, rocket launcher you know what I’m saying plus new grenades I mean in any kind of content I got some method of killing shit really quick and Fast, there’s nothing about it that’s it’s not even considered you know I mean it’s mostly a food bill everything on it is increasing Carey weight and making you know in increasing them on explosives I can carry the amount of heavy guns I can carry the amount of damage I can do overall with everything there’s there’s nothing about it and it’s got to the point where the game is just boring because there’s nothing in it challenging I suppose I could build the ultimate stealth commando but what would that prove I can watch 20 videos and they’ll all say the same things the videos will all show me all the same cards all the same weapons all the same everything will be the same but goddamnit. I can kill Earl in 18 seconds, righthow is that fun either I did I just don’t get what you enjoy to play that that’s what you gotta do. You’ll get the most enjoyment out of a game. If you pick in this case of power set that looks good to you a weapon that looks good companions that look good I mean you don’t have to be the best DPS or the best controller or whatever the best of anything you’re having fun that’s what matters.

    One thing i realise everyone forget or dont talk about is that there are better powers than others. I mean most Powers require u to use Superspeed abilities or heat vision. but those Powers that are called "the best" dont need to use them. Its quite sad to see that u cant go only ur Power as a LO without losing incredible amount of DMG.
    The reason those Power dont need to use SS abilities or HV is because their abilities can do more dmg in general then SS abilities/HV.
    the powers aint balanced. which is sad. i wish we have to use only Power Abilities.

Its just another way to add monetization to a game who has recycled content for years.

    Hey Obsidian, I wanted to ask something. So I played DCUO when mods were the main thing to boost your stats and when they recently introduced artifacts, played before stats revamp too. So I'm watching this video trying to understand, are allies and artifacts A MUST for this game. I also want to ask because I don't know the bread and butter but if artifacts and allies pay to win or is it stuff for the 1% gamer who wants his stats higher than the average joe. I just want to ask are my days of getting gear and working though that over?

    • @greatjamesejoga5777
      @greatjamesejoga5777 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Nvm, I think around 13:12 you explain the damage difference pretty well, so with artifacts and allies you garner 30 mill damage but with no artifacts or allies its 18 mill (pretty much half). Yeah I just wanted to know that because I want to do free to play with little spending to just have fun using different powers and doing missions.

    I’ll take less damage if I can finish the instance. Do mechanics. Make pickups. I see guys break their back to be top DPS and die a lot, pick no one up, get kicked from the instance. Btw, my damage is just fine. Always in the top 3 and never far behind.

    • @SHMEGAF
      @SHMEGAF ปีที่แล้ว

      Not to mention they'll literally avoid someones eog effect in order to avoid losing damage. Even tho it's in the groups interest to share damage and do more damage faster together.
      Heck. I think some arts like eog and more need some retuning to make them so they always work on the entire group rather than based on how close certain players are.
      And also. I believe the scorecard should just be done away with or just be retooled to make it so score card chasing is less of an issue.
