To the DCUO Team, Artifact Swapping?

I don't enjoy trying to get *s to stop being *s.

If you define "fans" as "People who think I'm an * constantly pissing on other people's ideas"....


Sure... Than I'm a "fan".

(and the fact that you're "always here".... isn't something to be proud of)

Just a crazy idea that's already been suggested: turn Dead King's Scepter and Philosopher's Stone into an actual orbital and supply drop artifact that you can slot in your utility belt like Bottled City Soder. Raise Bottled City Soder max rank to 10, give it a "restores x% supercharge on use". Everyone that doesn't already have those two artifacts (Scepter /Stone) will run to level them up. DI turns another profit. You can all stop bickering. Done.

It's still slightly slower (slightly goes a long way) to bring up inventory menu than the videos I've seen of PC doing it. Also, you are forgetting that we can only really efficiently swap the artifact in the 1st slot of our inventory, where'st PC can point and click at any. That also slows us down tremendously having to cycle to each one individually with D-Pad.

And of course I feel bad for Switch, they got the poo end of the stick but that enforced the point (especially if a merge were to ever happen someday).

You signature image isn't working again. It just says

It's working for me but Twitter is having issues so that's probably why.

Exactly the contrary: More slots for artifacts means less artifacts in your inventory to be swapped.

Simply to have the maximum potential from their damage, control, tanking or healing since they don't have another slots to place more artifacts they are "forced" to swapping. They've paid for.

Being very honest, Art Swapping is simply unnecessary. But we're humans and we're always looking for more and we're never satisfied with what we are doing or seeking. A level 200 Artifact can cost like 300-500 dollars and people still spend so much money for that to have even 10 level 200 Artifacts and in my opinion, more slots could be a sort of reward permitting them to use these artifacts reducing Art Swapping since if the game is still alive is thanks to them.

You casuals just love to complain about stuff that takes skill to do hence why literally every content that is hard you casuals complain and cry for a nerf.

That sounds like something very familiar, something very familiar indeed.

That's a rather broad brush to paint everybody with.

Opening your inventory like a mad man isnt skill. Thats like me opening my bookbag to get my laptop out. "Look at all the skill I got". Also remember, the Casuals are what keeps the game running. More Casuals in the game that the try hards.

Aaaaand... THAT is why we will always have art-swapping.

I don't think I have ever spent any more than the cost of a Seal of Completion or is that a Seal of Preservation? I think it's the Seal of Completion. $10 at most maybe? Full Disclosure I am a member with a yearly subscription so that might have something to do with it.

You would think. But again, as long as there are more arts available than slots than there will always be some level of swapping. If you have 10 arts that have either beneficial stats or passives/actives and 9 slots then players will put 9 in and swap the 10th. The only way to stop this would be with 10 slots. But we don’t need that. We don’t even need 6. People saying this only want to have the same benefits as those who swap without needing to swap. So no. If I choose to not swap than to bad for me. I don’t need those benefits.

Agreed. And I also don't care about art swapping, as long as it doesn't become a sweaty requirement as it has been on my platform (Xbox). Casual swapping (intended) I'm completely fine with. Stacking effects (not intended), I am not okay with. Some folks here seem to have gotten me confused by that.

While I wouldn’t say it’s the most skillful thing to do. There is some level of skill involved. I’ve seen many art swap yet not do any more damage because they lose damage while they stop and put the correct artifact in for that they need.

Same...

I gotta figure a part of my yearly membership fee as "artifact building".

I like this idea.

Also, I was thinking more about the 4th slot business... perhaps I might add another suggestion:
Instead of adding a "4th slot", perhaps certain specific artifacts can be labeled "Utility Artifact", such as Commlink, to be slotted for the effect only.

(Especially since it's being upgraded, it would be really nice to be able to incorporate it into my buff troll loadout permanently without having to swap claw, tetra, and cog.)

One can dream!

Idk how it "takes skill" to open your inventory and change an artifact... But like I've said before, consoles can only make best use of swapping via putting 1 artifact in the 1st inventory slot for quick exchange. PC can click or drag any artifact on the fly, we have to cycle over with D-Pad (or whatever button to cycle on other consoles) to each one slowly (even if having to drag it manually to another slot, in which takes 10+ button clicks to navigate).

That makes a HUGE difference.
