No. I am not asking or begging for them to give us free powers because rit now as i see it its pretty fair. But the question i dare to ask is how long can they keep up. As of now there are 6 free powers and 6 dlc powers. Soon there will be 6 free powers and 9 DLC powers. Not like ive particulary been here long but if anything ive been here long enough to question. Can they keep on making new powers that needs to be payed for? Say if i just found this game. I see all the amazing designs andmovements. Then i get to the powers. Now this is set some time in the future. Now i, a new player, sees 6 free powers. then i get excited. Then i see 12 0r 15 powers i need to pay for. At that point dont u think thats a bit much? Not everyone wants to be a legendary member. Not everybody has th money to pay. And some people are just stubborn.
Then they simply don't get to use the Powers they have to pay for. Really nothing to discuss at that point. Game is F2P to bring people in, get them interested, and hopefully entice them enough to spend money on the game.
Everybody that owns a gaming console that is an adult can afford $10 a month. If somebody is so poor they can't afford $10, then how did they get a console and how do they pay for electricity ? I can understand if somebody doesn't want to pay, but everybody has the capability. Heck, sometimes I find $10 in my jacket.
I see the point your making. Which isn't a bad one. But, that's the point of F2P. A small taste to tempt you to drop some cash. Unfortunately this game needs cash to keep moving forward.
True very true xD. But adults dont only play this game. there is no real excuse for children considering that theyll complain for just about everything they cant get. But soom teens cant pay due to their parents restricting them or there lack of allowance.
Like my dad always says nothing is free Luckily DC doesn't follow that logic, most games it would've been 1 weak power that's free and others you'd have to pay for. S you should be grateful that there are 6 powers in this game which are balanced great for going damage, healing, tanking and trolling. Also keep in mind that to make powers it costs money, giving out for free would be a waste of DCUO's resources.
But how exactly wud u know u like this power. They have to test it out no? thus, they have to pay for it. Now to mention choose one from a good amount. I wud be bummed if i bought a power to just not like. Guides nand videos are helpful but first person experiences are best.
Actually, there will NOT be additional DLC powers. Powers and DLCs are going to be made as separate purchases in the Marketplace in the near future. So, if you want the power but NOT the expense of an associated DLC, you'll have that option.
You argument is flawed. Only reason there are 6 free powers is because those powers are with the original build. Meaning you can play off base install while the rest downloads in the back. If they were to consider any powers ever becoming free it will be HL, earth, and electricity. But that might not happen until the PS3 is dropped if at all.

The fact 40% of this game is f2p, the choice of starter powers that gets offered at the start is pretty generous and up to T3 you can do most content is more then some games would usually give you. They didn't even have to put in 6, they could have just put in 1 for each role (Heal, Troll, Tank) and be done. They have to monetise the game somehow and powers are a key part to that, giving away any more would be hamstringing themselves more then they do already.
well i thought one way was after a considerable amount of time they could make the 3 less desirable types(tank, troll, heal) and make em free.
I just went into full blown WTF mode.... Name ONE POWERSET that doesn't include a support role option, or your definition of a "less desirable type". Go on, I double dog dare ya. Translation of original post..."gimme the flavor of the month power for free." Nothing to see here....moving on whilst shaking my head.
woah. i meant as in the one thats less bought. that brings in less money o_0. How could i play this game and not know the support roles =/ Im not asking for any. im just trying to look in the eyes of new players. Whether it happens or not idc. I just wanted to know other peoples thoughts about it. lol
