Burned Eight Seals Trying to Level a Wonderverse Augment to 23... And I'm Out

    I used to play on PS4 but quit due to the economy issues, hacking, etc.

    With extra downtime because of COVID I decided to try it on Switch and see what I'd missed. So, aside from the server being dead it was pretty fun. But going through eight seals to try to level this Augment to 23 threw cold water on me. I was about to buy more then I was like, wait what? Why am I spending money on this? Why would I flush money down the toilet for this silly system.

    I was annoyed at first but now I'm glad it happened so I can un-sub and uninstall.

    While I am sympathetic of what happened to you, I'm not exactly sure what you're hoping to accomplish from posting this on the forums?

    They just let the Devs know they quit and why. This gives the Devs a chance to reevaluate their direction without losing more business.

    Been there before, my advice is just play casually and not to min/max your character otherwise you're going to be really annoyed and depressed lol

    You got it!

    I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, lol, it's just a game. I did want to let the team know how they lost a longterm player, got them back and lost them again.

    I feel like the Developers have already got that message judging by the amount of people that complain about augments and artifacts.

    Aren't you complaining about being unable to login a few posts down? What was your goal with that post? Do you think Devs don't know people want to login? Your goal was to let the Devs know that you're not impressed. That's what this person did. Take a moment and reflect.

    Don't be so narrow minded - I can relate like many others what they are saying.

    Well Actually, the point was to ask if it was an issue on my end . I wasn't complaining lol
  10. BumblingB I got better.

    Been playing on the switch too. I don't know how the devs can expect players to spend money on a game they can't access all of it.

    In any regards, you could wait until they do the free 7 day seal.

    Well in that case, you can actually check the status of the servers and get the answer directly from DB.

    Exactly, they know, they just dont care because it makes money, and its 1 of their only ways of making money so it's not changing not in our favor no ways.

    We either need to buy or rent the dlc to have access to adaptive augments. Having to spend more money or loyalty points on seals is like paying for the key when you’ve already bought the car.

    That's a bummer, but as someone else said, you can always just wait for the next unstable SOC...I'd predict one just before the next DLC (bad timing for using the 23, but fine for getting the feat). However, a level 23 is equal to a 140 I think (20%), which in my experience avgs out to around 4 or 5 misses per 140 I've done with SOP. Still anecdotal, but I'd say you are on the 'bad' end of the swing from good to bad. Maybe not worth quitting, but hey, it's not my money. I use my 500 to buy SOPs normally or buy them if they hit the 50% off mark (Black Friday only in most cases), so SOPs are that bad for me. But I also don't level a TON of artis and just the augs for the feats on my main.

    However the most important question.....
    Can I have your stuff?

    Well,

    Your point is quite valid yet not unique; a few of my friends who were long-time MMO players that quit them tried to go back to those games and had the same experience. They ended up leaving those games again as well.

    People are being more careful with their money and how it is spent, in my opinion. Every dollar really means something now and I think people are questioning how, on what and why they are spending their money, as the OP has clearly demonstrated.

    I wish you good health and good luck; it's sad to see another long time player leave the game, again.

    Seals are pure hot garbage, if they were tradeable or sold in-game it wouldnt be so bad, but right now its the worst kind of p2w.

    I had a friend quit and return a few times because of seals I hope they can put them ingame . Source marks can be used to buy them . I know some folks who would use both methods to get seals.

    Haha the other day I tried to level up the new Amulet Artifact to lvl 60 and lost a Seal at 90 percent. I was like ............................................................................... Wtheck?????? My brain died for like a few minutes there. Anyways I do hate the micro-transaction side of the Artifacts. I mean DCUO is promoted on the PS and people do pay subscriptions to be members. This RNG probability with a games mechanic feels like Las Vegas casino slots. Could we at least get a free room at the Lexcellence Hotel if we spend more than a thousand dollars on Artifacts Slots? Just a suggestion :)

    I have to admit that every time I see a failure at advancing an augment or artifact and realize I've wasted money on the seal, I start to consider dropping the game. Every time. I suppose eventually it will make me quit. Not having a way in-game to earn the seals makes the whole process leave a bad taste. It feels like they are trying to drive us away from the game.
