OPEN WORLD DAILY FOR MARKS

As far as open world content goes couldn't they just have an NPC in each section of the Watchtower that has a special mission located somewhere in Metropolis/Gotham or any other place considered open world. It could be something simple like: Deliver this package, Escort a group of civilians across town, A daily open-world Boss hunt where a iconic villain is located somewhere and you have to find them defeat them and bring back a souvenir as proof. Anything like that would have people logging daily to do if for example: The quests themselves gave you marks, special trinkets/gear were rewarded by those you've helped/slain. This would be a simple yet fun way to keep people enticed, three relatively easy daily missions that can be completed by basically anyone over 80 (since that is what I assume is the point where people get fed up and bored of only group activities.) I know that something like this wouldn't be a huge solo experience for many but it would be sure to keep people logging daily. As well if feats were included and let's say: "Escort 10 groups of civilians through town" was a feat then people would be using replays to do that mission as many times as possible for the day that it has popped for a daily. As well if there was a rotation of like 10-20 different types of missions that were randomly selected to be that day's dailies then people would log every day to see if the mission/feat they were looking for to complete was active. I hope you guys understand what I mean I was just kind of rambling and I'm just a noobie so I don't know much as it is but it sounded pretty nice in my head.

That is another problem with Solo content in this game. The rewards.

While the entire game is not really "well known" fir an engaging reward system, they make Solos 100% useless on day one of release. NO new styles. NO gear worth using. And a single Mark, equivalent to running the God Damn vault, is insulting to the time and effort used to create that content.

There's a huge disconnect in how these games (MMORPG's) work, or why they work, and how this game is produced. It's really aggravating to sit and watch...

Any effort and commitment put towards open world content would be a vast improvement.

I still to this day don't understand what was wrong with keeping the same form of progression during leveling all the way through end game. Raising the level cap instead of this CR progression just makes more sense. You know, like a normal MMO.

Trying to be different gets you where DCUO is now.

That last comment is something I've said a million times.

There are specific formats in MMORPG's for a reason. They wirk. DCUO has gone against the grain numerous times, whether on purpose or not. And, predictably, it's not worked out well.

I know some hate to hear "so n so game does this", but there's a reason people say that.

I replay them for feats. And some open world and solo can have good rewards and can be fun to do. And like anything open world, you can group with others and do them.
I agree with everyone, I miss the open world missions, we need them back.

Unless something's changed, the NG open world mission stops paying out MoT once you're above cr 147.

100% not the point.

Stop trying to sound smart. It adds nothing to the conversation.

I miss them also. I haven't replayed a solo, open world, or daily mission since patrol catastrophe was released though. Feats can be earned without resetting also. I don't mind resetting, but if I'm not getting adequate rewards, I don't see the point.

Told that to the devs many times on Twitter, also here in every related thread.
We have a raid overload, (would even say duos too but those are fun and quick to set up so never tired of them).
We need open world missions and more alerts. Monthly content should rotate!

I think a lot of people also don't know that you still have a chance to get marks of victory from alternate reward box. It may or may not be worth it, but regular bounty bosses take less than 1 second to take down. I usually do them if I farm exobits and happen to pass through area.

I still do the 4 dailies in South Gotham for this very reason. The random Mark used to drop far more often than it does now though.

Still, I'd rather get a guaranteed % of a Mark, rather than the freakin RND chance at a full one.

These guys really have zero concept of any proper reward structure in this game.

I have probably collected well over 300 hundred alternate reward boxes, and have yet to see this mysterious mark drop. That is spread over 4 characters though, so it might have an effect on the luck aspect of it, I don't know.

patrol catastrophe had better rewards.

i would be willing to give up one months worth of raids/alerts/duos for one chapter that drops some really good open world content and a half dozen new t8 bounties...

The Devs should do more operations like Patrol Catastrophe, New Genesis, and Oa Under Siege in Metropolis and Gotham.

That's the thing, monthly episodes are another big problem. They're not giving themselves enough time to make quality content.

Think back to when they still did 3 month DLCs (which they should still be doing anyway), people were complaining because they didn't have anything to do. Why is that? The exact same reason as now, no open world content. Each DLC had a couple raids and an alert or duo or solo. Well great but that's not going to last anybody very long. People were still spamming them to get all the gear within a week or so, thus the complaining about nothing to do. They could've been packing each DLC with tons of open world content to go along with the raids and alerts. And i'm not talking about solos, i'm talking about legit, go out in Metropolis and do missions like you did when you're leveling.

It's infuriatingly obvious what they need to do yet they don't do it. Each month it's raid raid raid alert raid raid raid etc. Enough with raids already!

I've also responded positively to open-world dailies on a number of threads that I feel like I may be reaching whiny (which I want to avoid). So I'll just throw this out there for another angle. The game wants closer ties to DC Movies...

• Man of Steel: Superman fights Zod. Um yeah, I'd say that was open world. More open by the minute.
• Man of Steel: Superman is interviewed by Lois at an army base - not open world
• BvS: Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman take on Doomsday. Yes, seems to be open world alright.
• BvS: Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince meet at gala event. Not open world.

Could be me, but the open world stuff seems more entertaining.

Still doesnt give me a reason to log in daily. The open world content outside relevancy has a chance to give me a mark. Not a guarantee. Even then it doesnt go towards a feat or help towards crafting an item.

DCUO needs to add something to encourage people to log in daily, not just once a week.

^^^ if they are not getting sale's for RB they just don't...wont do it. will it help the game??? sure. but DB has made it clear there one and only interest is RB. BB. fast $$$ no long term thought goe's into the game anymore.

I like this...I really do....I think we need more open world interaction for everything, not just for marks.

I enjoy that the devs have reintroduced crafting. It was definitely needed. However, the way it was implemented was not great imo...crafting, in most rpg's is a WHOLE BUNCH of stuff gained from the open world, not just three relevant pieces of content that needs to be run and reun and rerun to stand a shot at getting the scraps...

Open world is great..I don't think the devs even realize how important open world is for making your toon feel like your toon...just queuing instance after instance doesn't truly allowed me to feel immersed in an mmorpg
