Stat clamping, first experience

Then they should've thought about getting their credit card before blind queuing content.

Invite people that knew what they were doing.

I can’t believe anyone could actually defend that as a gameplay concept. There absolutely should be a limit to over levelling, I keep telling you people I’m basically in favour of clamping but clamped players should not have to worry about mechanics overlapping unfairly.

Most people will vote with their wallets and never post on the forums. The game isn't dead but based off the conversations and very angry rants before log outs from Thursday to Sunday after long time and new players viewing and playing this new "update" I am curious to see where the company will go in the near future.

Which is why I’m saying raids need to be removed from the omnibus journal missions. These instances were not made to be blind queued, but the game is telling you to do just that.

having something else hit you while blocked isn't a mechanic overlapping, it's just an ongoing interaction.

Let's say there's a boss in the instance, right... ok.

Now let's say 6 adds come out, right... ok.

Now let's say 5 of those adds are still alive and the boss does a skull attack, right.... ok.

Now let's say everyone then blocks..., right ok.

This is now a picture of what you think those 5 adds should be doing, while that happens.

The game is also telling you to buy armories and play both roles, perhaps people should follow all the instructions and not just some. You'd have more success with that omnibus journal entry if you chose to actually prepare yourself rather than limit your success and that of any random group through your resistance to buy a $5 armory and play support.

Again, if you want to play that way then perhaps blind queuing content is something you should avoid and join a league, or at least have some people go with you in the queue.

All of the other games I play manage to design their combat scenarios in a way that prevents no-win situations, I don’t see why DCUO can’t do the same.

Is there an armoury that would allow me to simultaneously tank, heal and troll? Because that is a straw man otherwise.

Oh no, wasn't putting that comment towards you. Was more defending you to someone else

I'm not surprised you haven't seen it, I haven't seen a lot of what you post. Go figure.

Your death isn't a no win situation, you can be revived and in elite you get two shots which is generally speaking, still enough to avoid any happy little accidents.

But I can’t revive myself. If nobody else elects to help me, I’m out through no fault of my own. And I’m down the repair money afterwards.

And how did some of those people know what they were doing?

LUL wut?

No, if everyone was better prepared to play support/dps when the need arose then life in a blind queue, particularly omnibus would be better for all.

People should be buying an armory and should be learning to play their alternative role, if they're not, that's fine but again, perhaps to over come this desire they should join a league or take some friends in the blind queue.

queuing by yourself when you're only half equipped is gambling at the casino, there's a good chance you're walking out empty handed.

Not at all, level the Lazarus pit to 200 then you can revive yourself every 15 minutes. If you level the Oracle Bot ally, she will also repair your gear for free

I have a troll and dps armoury, if I don’t get an adequate tank and/or healer, that wouldn’t be my fault, yet you’re implying it somehow would be.

I tried Lazurus, for real. It’s hot garbage for playstation users because the self-revive is the same button as the melee button. And I was thinking of running Oracle passive until I found out it makes the repair sound effect go off constantly.

shes a cute toon can i copy her lol

Not at all, I'm not implying that would be your fault, but it would still be "player fault".

People will often blame the content when the actual reason is still actually the player, that other player who actively chose not to tank, heal or troll when the content dictated it was necessary cost the group success.

Alternatively that player who was bad at their job, for whatever reason, lack of experience, whatever, cost the group success, not the instance itself and not stat clamping.
