A Hard Goodbye to everyone, Bye Dcuo.

Well said. No matter how we disagree, we're all part of the same community. It's wise to listen to each other.

A lot of this could have been prevented by simply giving the clamp option. Yes, there are those that like a real challenge and then you have that don’t. If everyone would of just agreed on making it optional everyone would’ve been happy and we would not be seeing threads like this one. Seems that this was a poor decision and players are leaving because either the game is to easy or to hard, lol… Some can adjust and some can’t…. Either way it’s sad to see anyone go…. Good luck

I'll be popping in until the year sub ends in Feb. Will be departing too. It's become a systems game and less gameplay. Not interesting enough to me to continue. The rustling at the exec level of the company has me quivering at the prospect of the future of the game (piss shiver quality of quiver). They've gone full free to play, instead of the "free to play" change after launch of 2011, and that is the beginning of other changes to come. Time will tell what that is, they're not going to announce those changes ahead of time.

PacMan and Donkey Kong were fun, and repetitive. I'd not play them for a while because of the repetitiveness and come back now and then for the gameplay. DCUO is pacman/DonkeyKong with a boat load of systems. Lots of games are PacMan with lots of systems? ok. I don't play those games either. If I'm spending more time with the UI than gameplay, that's a deal breaker. If inventory is an issue, it's a tip off that it's gonna be a game design that I'm less likely to enjoy because I will be spending time interacting with that inventory. I have tons of items in inventory for Warframe and never have to sell them to make room for other loot. Materials are endless stacks. mods are endless stacks. weapons and warframes, not endless slots.

I was pro-pay to play that they had at launch. Leaving pay to play might have repelled the gold spammers in chat*. Was opposed to sub when the content was so very short listed instances and time gating, weekly. It was a popular consideration at the time, leading to the new tiered model of availability (free,premium,sub).

Having a publicly accessible test server is not often an aspect of a game. Usually you'd have to register an account and then have access to a test server. DCUO test server used to be limited to members, now anyone can get in? Feedback is basically useless? How/why did they release Allies in the state they were in? That's a quality control issue that I'm simply not ok with. Let alone, old content has not been fixed. Shirley, the whole new-owners every 2 or 3 years is a stressful situation and I'd also be thinking how long do I have a job? If I were in there. Adding to my customer relationship with the game as being, how much time do I want to spend doing it, when they have been acquired again and who knows if this means a new direction or cancellation coming soon? Ya might be thinking, It's a DC license of course it'll be utilized well and maintained forever..... *cough*

edit: also, https://mmos.com/review/marvel-heroes
Having played Marvel Heroes for a few months before it shut down, it was not that much different from DCUO. All instanced with NPCs in the exact same place every time, & inventory management with systems to rank up things.

Meanwhile, the dear diary that the forum is, I'm gonna end this entry short of more reasons I've considered and say, YUP. If it's still around in two years, I might feel nostalgic and visit for a month. I think I could catch up in CR and try the newest instances in a month.

I'm here this year, after a 5 year break.

Best wishes gabe! Really enjoyed your videos and your comments. Sad to see more and more players leave for similar reasons regarding difficulty.

I never really understood the general idea that good players or aka hardcore means a player must live on the game be out of shape, or jobless Dc is one of the easiest games to play lately tbh it requires very little skill. Esp since nexus wave prime and throne. I actually been able to play dc 1-2 hours a day some days the past few years, serve in the army for some years, work a job manage a relationship get married and still be decent at the game over the years. Honestly most the good players ive played with over the years since 2011 all in the same boat live normal lives. a lot of mmos not about how much time you are on it them more so then how you spend your time when your on them.

Take care Nova been good over the years.
