Thought I'd do a quick Google Translate, because I think what this person has to say is what a lot of us are feeling right now and has some valid points. Translation: "I really am very sad about this revamp !!!! What did you do with the game ????? You only favored those who had more than 350SP !!! I do not have a super league to help me do feat, I do not have the All the time in the world to run after this. We're in the game to have fun, now this revamp is a sadness !! Who told you that increasing npc health and taking damage from dps would be cool ????? Only favor the few players and I'm sure that the dcuo does not live for a few players, tell me and those who came in Now, in the game, who have just created an account, how do they do it? And the children who want to play? Not everyone is over 30 years old and has a lot of time and calls to run after SP, not to mention that some are almost impossible to do without A league with players available, especially when you are not an American and do not speak English. This revamp only had improvements for some, half a dozen guys who were in the test and gave their opinions, most of the players I know are outraged by all this. We were to be happy with the new arrival of the water power q was so expected And with the new capsules, but unfortunately this new revamp spoiled everything. Surely the same players who were in the test give their opinions only to favor it will do a mimimi in my post, just for not conforming to often have more SP that some and stay behind in damage in an instance. In fact, the players should focus more on passing in team than to be disputing who gets in first. Was it legal to have equal powers? Yes it was very good. NPC health was a bad idea, because who does not have SP point now will have less still. The mimizentos will come to say more I play for so many years, and Dai ?????? And who arrived now? This is just to please who is old? I've been playing for 3 years. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I do not know what to do. I have a cr200, why could not I get a faster and easier t7? My time of Having a job with a T7 is gone, now comes the revamp and tells me that I can not because I do not have enough SP for it ??? You guys are more sorry if you wanted more players in the game, you just made mistakes, they were only meant to leave the game for adult players, Americans or fluent in English, and have a good league.Pro rest is just left to lament.The work that I had to leave My account as it was and now with 246SP I am nothing and a great displeasure. Many friends my pararm to play because they were already disappointed with the game, I did not want to stop I insisted and believed that the game would improve, I always went in favor of equality Of damage in the power to stop this squeeze of dispute in instance, but not in this way that you did. In everyone and retired or have time available for this, you should have thought in a way that pleases everyone and not only some who They were complaining because they had 300 SP.Tem children that play this game knew ?? Many will give up, will stop to play.If it was a player sq you really wanted to have them wrong. They gave ears only to player mimizentos and ancient in the game. I only I think they should please everyone and not only some. Because if you know the dcuo is a big game and not everyone downloads the test server, not everyone participates. I myself was how many times I was pro test and could not do almost any Instance because there were no players, it was almost impossible to play it, a void. I leave here my dissatisfaction. And let the mimizentos begin wanting to defend only one class of the game, I am only in favor of a game for all and not just based on who Has more than 300SP. SKILL POINT is a way to improve the performance of your tonn and does not qualify it. Replay in this. Voces favored one part of the game and forgot others.
Translate back......Stop the QQ man up and adapt this brings the game back to before AM and WM trash ruined it.
Look for what's the best playstyle for your dps also spec wisely and yes the difficulty is getting looked at don't be surprised if stuff gets nerfed. Ask for advice in the Gotham area
I'm not sure what is going on with the defense. You say there is no cap on defense yet I don't see any where to buy additional defense in our skill point tree. Plus my toons all had well over 21,027 defense and now they all have WAY Less. You say the more defense the better yet where do we spend the SP in the Stat Points menu for this? My defense is now 10,697 with no way to increase it in any role but tank role which gets buffed naturally. I'm a bit confused. Our defense was lowered & I'm not sure why.
Wow 2 things i dislike to date with fire. 1. No more blue flame even if you changed what the power does the look was cool 2. What i dislike the most is the time it takes to reuse FIREBURST IT WAS one of THE MAIN DPS POWERs FOR FIRE, NOW SO SLOW, FOR A POWER YOU NEED TO BE CLOSE TO ENEMY WITH, SHOULD RESET 2 SEC FASTER 4S REALLY NOT COOL the rest seems ok but really please cut recharge time to 2s
Thanks Goddesssilver. Back in the day before the horrible AM/WM updates, I spec'd heavily into precision and relied mainly on my weapon for my own power regen, so I may try that route again. Quick question though, if you know... in DPS stance, am I supposed to completely ignore spec'ing into Health stat points, since they're "recommending" them for only Tanks and Heals? This is part of what's confusing me and leads me to believe is the reason I'm dying so quickly from 'at level' enemies. Thanks in advance if you know. I can't ask in Gotham because for some reason I still don't have permissions after all this time to post there.
Ok how bout we stop complaining and since all the powers are finally balanced for once. Why don't we all actually LEARN our powers and adjust accordingly. You A.M Babies are the worst. All you wanna do is hit power 1, power 2, power 3, and boom! Amazing damage smh. How bout actually work for some results
The current toon I'm on right now is Nature, and I've not changed my tray from yesterday (typical non-bug form DPS rotation). But I've also tried out varying loadouts on 2 Atomic toons as well as Sorcery. So far I'm just trying to understand what's changed and why using a loadout I'm familiar with. All I'm seeing is less damage out and way more in. lol
I don't understand why fire got 1 of their immunities taken away when there was nothing about this on the forums under what they did with fire. As a tank 2 immunities are good to have. Plus the 1 immunity that we do have has an 18 second cool down which is outrageous just like the cool down on our brand new shield being 18 seconds as well. I love the fact that we got a shield but I mean come on 18 seconds on both our shield & our 1 immunity is ridiculous to me. Love the new power engulf yet it is interruptible and that's not good for a tank when they try to pull the adds during a boss fight. I'd love to see these things fixed on fire. Please put back the 2nd immunity and bring the cool down down some like to 10 seconds or 6 seconds for both the shield & immunities. Please also fix it so that Engulf can't be interrupted. Thank you in advance for the consideration.
Read the update notes and revamp test notes it says alot I think for sure you should try out every power on nature find what works for you best because things were changed your loadout might not be as effective as before. If you use weapon mostly use the weapon playstyle that gives power regen -25% and i think gives a buff to weapons if you use powers only then use PftT playstyle it gives power regen buffs and might 10% if you like using both power and weapons then hybrid playstyle is what you want it gives 10% might buff and 5% buff to all other stats. Atomic and soccer of the top of my head can't give you loadout tips it's too early to ask that experiment and also try youtube some people probably already have loadout tips I know atomic does aND those other powers probably do as well because they got buffed and some moves changed. Also you might find a short version explaining stats revamp on youtube for now do all that and tough it out things will get nerfed give it a few days. Oh forgot to mention all powers are might based only weapon attacks are precision based.
Alright, thanks for the tips and advice. Again, I'm really trying to stay positive here. I'll stick it out for a few more days and mess around a lot until I figure things out. Thanks again.
Someone wrote this for atomic....Spec into Might & Power Stat. For your mastery you'll want to go possible Superpowered Focus if you are not using your weapon which this focus increases your Passive Power Regen. You can go Hybrid and with this Focus you can use your Weapon to Regen Power with the weapon Combos. Another thing to keep a hold of is your loadout itself. Carefully look at your Power Costs and rotations. Combo Powers having to deal with Power within their combos is new and a learning process. He wrote this because atomic uses alot of power.
Wow. I may be new to the forums but I sure as heck am not new to the game. I was here well before AM & WM. I'm taking my time with my powers to learn what's going to be the best for me per toon that I have. I have legit questions & complaints So I choose to post it for the Developers to Answer or look into. Yes many people don't understand how they should spec & it is confusing and will take time to figure out seeing how DCUO has no instruction manual for their game. Doing a revamp was nice yet it's also confusing when they take away over half of the defense you have yet say that there is no cap on defense & give no spot to buy additional defense. Do you see how that's confusing to people? True that many people will hate the revamp & all i have to say about that is if they don't like it they don't have to play the game any more. It's Their choice to complain to have their voices heard. You may not like what is being said and that's fine but you really shouldn't call people names and make fun of them as this is bullying on a whole other level. It is looked down upon by Daybreak. I hope that you will enjoy the stat revamp with many of the others of the DCUO Community. Choose to help people instead of being mean because kindness goes a lot further than being a bully & being mean. Have fun out there.
The Devs have completely ruined this game for me and don't care if anyone agrees. My opinion is based on my own personal experience and so far my experience has been wretched. My healer lost over 10,000 pts of resto, which made it extremely difficult to heal the alerts., especially with no troller. My earth dps did have a troller in the group for the usual SJ/WC but only after 2 wipes on WC. We struggled through WC and SJ was no walk in the park either. My earth damage did absolutely crap in damage. I spec'd for hybrid because my earth dps does a lot of weapons attacks to enhance the over all damage. Even with 9400 precision, weapons attacks were laughable. Earth powers causes about 200-300 clicks of damage, which is ludicrous. Pet damage never did more than a 5k crit attack on anything, but mostly 200-500 per attack (with power). I have 324 sp. I had thought that having extra sp would give me an advantage in this stats revamp but I was wrong. I had high hopes with stats revamps, but after what I experienced today I am deeply disappointed. Bad job, Devs. Very bad job.
The main problem for this game is not into the in-game stats, no. The game itself and it's administration cannot keep the community together. It's always divided. And making the content with no differences for villians and heroes does not help the case *intended shade*. One other thing. Rework the whole game just to balance the stats? Who does that? In my 9 years of experience in all types of videogames, i haven't seen one game that was so focused on numbers as DCUO. Problem is, the game lacks diversity and quality more than stats balance. Do you really think people come here for stats? The come here for FUN. That's what videogames were invented for in the first place. So maybe you should focus on quality, not quantity. This would've been beneficial for both sides, because people are more willing to pay for a good product (cuz we all know you're trying to get a bigger buck). P.S.: i would've wanted to say i didn't want to offend anyone with my opinion... But i don't give two *ucks.
Change your loadout with earth it's one of the best dps post revamp also you using the wrong playstyle if you using a weapon and you complaining smh, you need to ask for help you doing it wrong lol try gotham
I'm brand new to the game (only been playing for 2.5 weeks) and I had my fair share of complaints from day one. Then, I learned that an update would be coming soon and didn't look into the details. I thought there might be a (much needed) visual update (don't comment about PC users having poor graphics cards because other games have certain visual settings to account for that), a way to skip the endless cutscenes (seriously, it takes more time to watch the cutscenes than to complete a mission), constantly getting stuck between other players and my summon, and various other problems that I saw with the game. On the other hand, I quickly learned how to use my character's abilities and would consistently be MVP when I used my damage build and compliments saying that I was the best healer people ever had when I used my healer build. Tonight, though, I went into T1 Kahndaq with my CR96 character to find briefings and saw that the enemies were CR34. I thought it would be a piece of cake. I thought wrong. I took an insane amount of damage and barely dealt any out. (I was also upset to find that one of my sorcery abilities that was great for mobs was turned into a single-target power, but that's another complaint.) We couldn't even get past the first part of the raid. We took the time, we strategized, and we tried different things. Nothing worked. Then people kept leaving the instance and it spiraled even more into chaos. Needless to say, we voted to disband. After that, some leaguers and I decided to try a T5/6 alert (the mist one). We had done it before with few problems. It took forever because we had to rely too heavily on each other to survive. I'm all about teamwork, but there's a lot of content in this game and that level of teamwork takes too much time and isn't suitable for new players who aren't in a well-established league. With the current state of things, if you need to grind, you're out of luck unless you have a lot of time and even more patience. Once we got back to Star Labs (I think), I kept getting one-shotted, even with 2 sets of shields up, leaving my team to die without me being there to heal them. Even when we could hold out for a bit longer, the NPCs had way too many hit points to actually achieve what we were supposed to in the mission. I could keep writing about the countless problems I've had, tonight alone. A lot of people are coming back to the game because of the update and are already leaving. New players like myself have very little hope for the future of this game. Long-time members who have invested lots of time and money into the game aren't happy, many of whom told me they'd leave if there weren't drastic changes coming very soon. Seriously, what needs to happen for you guys to fix things that people have been complaining about for so long? And what made you think these changes would positively impact the game? P.S. I read somewhere that the new water power (which, from what I can tell, has been discussed for the past 2 years and is taking over a year to release) would have the same animations as those currently used by NPCs. If I read accurately, that's an incredibly cheap ripoff.
I am a 200cr with 314 hard earned hard fought for (except for the cheezy ones you let us buy) sp. However when all sp are placed in appropriate spaces, I have SIGNIFICANTLY LESS STATS even after opening and omega compound and a nitro soder special forces, for instance I now have 2000 less might, 2000 less vit, 4000 less resto, way less toughness and defense, dom is still about the same and I got my health up to where it is supposed to be. I can't even beat the penguin in the T8 solo as quantum. This has affected my ability to deal damage. You also increased the NPC and BOSS stats. So you NERFED high levels again and raised the difficulty of the levels. HOW IN THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP! WHY DO YOU CONSTANTLY PENALIZE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED THE HARDEST? I HAVE OLYMPIAN AND SPECIAL FORCES MODS IN MY GEAR AND GENERATOR ALREADY, I HAD TO BUST MY AZZ TO GET THEM AND SPEND MONEY AND REPLAY BADGES, AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO GIVE ME A SO CALLED GIFT OF OLYMPIAN AND 7.3 MODS. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR EVER LIVING MIND? HOW IS THAT A GIFT? HOW IS THAT THINKING OF US? KEEP YOUR STUPID MODS AND GIVE ME BACK MY DEFENSE MY TOUGHNESS, MY MIGHT, MY PRECISION, MY DOM, MY VIT, MY RESTO, AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU STOLE FROM ME. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY TO SHOW US HOW TO SPEC OUR CHARACTERS AND WHEN WE TURN TO THE COMMUNITY THEY JUST LAUGH AT US AND CALL US NAMES. HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY YOUR TREATMENT OF PLAYERS WHO HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF HOURS, THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO PERFECT THE GAME YOU MADE, USING YOUR RULES THAT YOU JUST CHANGE WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE AND PUNISH THE TOP TIERS IN THE PROCESS. YOUR GIFTS ARE AN ABSOLUTE INSULT TO THE TOP TIER PLAYERS AND TO THAT I SAY MAY YOUR MAINFRAMES BE HACKED AND TERMINATED WITH EXTREME PREDJUDICE. 1) Defense: Reduces damage taken. There is no longer a Defense cap, so more Defense is always better. WHERE DO WE ADD MORE DEFENSE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE RISEN TO THE TOP TIERS VIA CR AND SP SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO BACK AND STUGGLE THROUGH LEVELS THAT ARE FAR BENEATH US. WE HAVE EARNED OUR RIGHT TO BE ALL POWERFUL, LOWER ADS SHOULD QUAKE WITH FEAR AT OUR PRESENCE, WHILE THE TOP NPC'S SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR A GOOD BATTLE. BUT NO, FAIRNESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER AND THE BEHOLDERS OF THIS GAME HAVE DETERMINED FAIRNESS TO BE REDISTRIBUTED LIKE SOCIALIST REGIME IN A COMMUNISTIC SYTLE COMMUNITY, TAKE FROM THE POWERFUL AND GIVE TO THE LESS WILLING. BECAUSE THAT'S FAIR. UNLESS WE TRY TO TAKE FROM THEM, THEN ITS WAR.
