This is exactly it! We all know the game has become pay-to-play. It's the nonchalant way it's being done. Then if anyone voices an objection too this in any shape or form, you're met with a pretentious tools using completely irrelevant Latin phrases. Lol! I mean, Jesus Christ! How pretentious do you need to be to use Latin in forum reply. p.s. They charge 87 replay badges because they "don't" want you to buy them! Could you send me some of whatever it is you're smoking please? My address is '87 replay st, Bt8 Fku'
Since update I log in and have no powers and get logged out but I can switch to an alt and play all day
No, their arguments are very valid actually. Inventory space is a huge thing for many players, and forcing those with limited space to have one less slot was a gross oversight. The devs definitely need to fix that ASAP. Everything in the game is deletable from our inventory, and these new capsules really shouldn't be any different.
Lets do some estimated capsule rewards 5 characters @ 1 capsule a day for 30 days = 150 capsules 6 stabilizer fragments per account a day for 30 days = 180 That is 12 Stabilizers for account for 30 days This means out of 150 time capsules you can only open 12 for free Now you have a 138 just sitting in your inventory and the only way to open them is through 12,420 marketplace cash at 90 per stabilizer right? I have run event loot locked and still get capsules so that 138 could be higher if you wanted. If you got one capsule a day for 30 days you would still only be able to open 12 of them without spending marketplace cash, now you have 18 just sitting in your inventory waiting for you to spend money to open them How much money do you have??? I have open 7 and have not completed any feats and made very little progress on collections. At 12 per month how are we suppose to complete feats without spending money? This should be character and not account loot for fragments.
The advance character to level 25 isn't working, when I click on Confirm it says it can't open market place.
I'm at work and havent got a chance to see how much stabilizers are costing so can anybody tell me how much for single and packs of stabilizers thanks
FIgured I'd log in and check out the event. Easy and fast... ridiculously so. Turns out I had old vendor cash kicking around from months ago when I was still wasting my money to sub for broken game mechanics, so I bought a key to open my lockbox... sorry... "Time Capsule", and got the only thing I even wanted which was the Blue Lantern logo. Long story short, I never need worry about opening another one of these things again or spending a single dime on them. Now if only the devs had the foresight to make these things deletable from my inventory instead of robbing me of the space I need for the odd time I log in and play. Maybe if I could do the content on all my toons instead of being ripped off by an account bound sham, I'd sub up to get the feats out of them. Meh.

It takes minimum 3 days for a legendary member to open a box which is far too long just to face random chances of loot. While people that buy the keys have a massive advantage over those that dont. There's a few things that would make it fair 1: Allow legendarys to open the boxes sooner either by increasing the fragments or decreasing the cost. 2.5 days is not 2 days its 3 days because u have to wait for the 3rd day just for 3 fragments,its a very odd number. 2: Remove the junk from the boxes. Too much focusing elements and colas etc Also as a Heal i got the 8.3 Dom mod 3 times! I dont think anyone was happy with how this was implemented.
Omfg is now the moment I jump with joy and say "I told you so". I told you all this and now the devs have you in their hands with their pay2win system. I told you I explained it all but only some people listened. Yes we got changes it was going to be worse than this. But do not, do not live under any illusion that this isn't pay2win. Should've listened to me.
Farm the capsules, sell them, get the stuff you DO want with the cash. You can do this entire event without spending any real money.
totally agree with you. These capsules looked sketchy for me from the beginning but this just confirms it. $17 dollars for 20 stabilizers? Really daybreak?? I thought we been here done this already? I honestly don't know which is worse now, the ultimate soder colas, the booster gold bundles or this. At least with the booster gold you get some replay badges and a couple kits for the price so thats not TOO bad but this? You could spend 3 days farming for fragments only to find yourself with a soda cola for your trouble. Now if that's not what you call getting trolled then I don't know what is. And if you were the bloke that spent $20 to get these capsules (that half of the available itemlist is probably just filler junk) I apologize for your ignorance. And Finally with all the things wrong with these capsule we have one FINAL piece of topping to complete this birthday cake and that is.......89 replay badges to replay the event for fragments???? LOL! This is just astounding the lengths they will go for that extra buck, or in this case $5! They might as well just remove whatever "perk" they gave going for legendary folks as we are getting nickled and dimed as if we were premiums.
You can open the first box after 3 days, but then it will only take you 2 days to open the next one...so on average is 2.5 days which is exactly what they announced. But sure it seems like p2w, stats are supposed to matter soon, so its time to make ppl pay for them. P.S - These time capsules would have been a good way to at least re-introduce ERK back to the game ( yeah yeah they "drop" in pvp), but i guess that wouldn't be convenient. Anyways they must be coming back soon, they only been gone for what, 7 months now?
That didn't bring players back for atleast one day. Villain lfg chat is still dry. DCUO have to start rating success that boost or,atleast keep the population steady, and not on money squeezed out of the loyal players who tolerate this mess.
Pay to win means only having an advantage if you HAVE to pay extra money. This is pay-to-get-there-faster. You can go the completely free route if you wish, it is entirely your choice.
They've been selling all day here on EU server for a minimum of 550k each. There are plenty of people out there who would rather buy the capsules with their in game money than wait 20 minutes between receiving each one.
