Devs: Is it true that we won’t be able to finish the STU counter feats after DLC42?

I was told that as soon as DLC 42 drops in December, then all the Save the Universe stuff will be gone and *might* return at some point in the future. If true, then I truly don’t understand the reasoning behind it. Why would you give us a DLC with the most grindy feats (250 solos, 250 alerts & 250 raids) since LPVE came out but with only 3 months to complete it? At this point you are basically rewarding speed hackers (since only a small amount of people will finish this legit).

I strongly think that we need to be able to keep working on these feats even after DLC 42 drops. After all, isn’t it better to have more content to play rather than less?

No, Devs said something along the lines of that the STU stuff will return like a seasonal, as well as the currency and feats will be obtainable.

Save the Universe will return. It probably won't be annual like a seasonal event but return at special times to coincide with real world events (movie release, anniversary, etc).

So does this go for the things we need to purchase with grains as well? Or the OP material drops? If so, that seems pretty bogus as there is a LOT of grains to spend and materials to gather. If anything the Rip Hunter daily handout should stay active....so we can slow collect the grains if an event never resurfaces....cause you know...."best laid plans" and all.

So wait there are stupid high counters in content where the ability to earn counts is going away? What was the logic in that? You just wanted to create feats that were even dumber than Brainiac Bottle Duo feats or something?

At least when the bottle duo 250 feats came out, we were running 3 a day in most cases for 'current' gear and marks. 3 a day meant we'd finish in just over 80 days or the typical lifespan of most DLCs 'active' period. STU 250 raid count means we won't finish it for 5 years running 1 run a week for marks and gear. SPAM(or hacking)...is the only cure for the issue, especially if that 5 years will now become 10 or 20 if the event only comes around once in a while for bursts of a month or 2. BTW...most FOS2/Inner runs are around 20-25 min, so be prepared to spam that 250 for around 110-120 hours. It remains to be seen how long the WW raid will take, so buckle up.

Solos should have been 250, alerts 100, raids 50...period. What maniac figured we'd run as many 25-30 min raids as we would a 9 min solo needs to get a grip on reality. 250 STU raids is NOT a 'long term' goal....it's a punishment.

And we wonder why cheats are so rampant....

So the save the universe is then a annual “ seasonal event “ ?

No. Irregular live Survival Mode.

We'll probably have 10x weeks like those abysmal Legends PvE feats...

really, anything!

It finally gave the game more meaning/interest and you think you can take that away?

I think this is a mistake and I really hope you guys will reconsider. Seasonal feats are not “grindy” and you know exactly when they come back. STU feats however are basically locking feats away from honest players without knowing when they will come back. Like someone else said… this is a punishment and it shouldn’t be.

Exactly.

Or every three months. Or every five months or....we don't know.

Its definitely not going to be that. They're not going to upscale content at the same frequency of new episodes.

Are any new styles or items going to be added to the vendor for Save the Universe before it's over ?

Good god no. You want more stuff to have to buy in the 5 weeks we have left?

Please if anything is added, do NOT attach feats to them.

Mwah ha ha!!!

Per Mepps:

"Perhaps" sounds like sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. Also, I imagine that after these first three batches and even more so after more upscaled content, they'll have learned a lot and gotten more experienced at upscaling content and will be able to do so more efficiently. Plus, it wouldn't necessarily always have to be a raid AND Alert AND duo/solo. It could just be one or two of them.

The time some of you lose here on the forum daily would be the same time to run 5 or 10 raids a day, taking into account that a good group running the raid by the event option would finish in 12 minutes or 15 each raid, many here are 2 hours crying and complaining instead of playing DC for two hours...

If you just want to run the instance with loot, then reset or do it once a week, otherwise run without loot until you finish the feat...
