I love DCUO so can you remove the stat clamp already?

If you dont have the authority, dont make the claims. There have been plenty changes which community said and expected to never happen, but did happen.

Yes. We get it. This is how the devs want us to play.

Guess what? Its not a persuasive argument. In fact,, its not an argument at all.

The devs need to be responsive to the players they have, not the players they want.

About as much sense as suggesting separating the players, and then claiming that the option suggested wouldn't separate players.

Either way, as said before, the CR skip removes any notion to separate players through whatever option to run clamped or unclamped due to the way the game is designed to be played.

Next idea would likely to be to remove all group play out of existence, turn every instance into a solo, then remove the clamp so the instances can be blasted through without any thought...but still receive the same rewards. Better yet, just remove the notion that the game isn't an MMO at all...but a gathering of players who prefer to play solo....The one who gets all the gear and rewards inventoried to their bank first is the grand master supreme of DC.

I'm sorry, what? Never made such claims of "authority"

They have been responsive to the players they have....see the countless posts existing in 2014-2016 moving forward to the existence of the clamp of the many that were not satisfied behind playing content that was simply blasted through without even given a chance to experience the content.

What happened in the last year? They figured a way to suck $100 out of your pocket in one shot....its called a Wolfpack.

Other than that? Not much. See you in a year.

No.... What you said was complete nonsense... not trying to insult.... It litterally was nonsese,

The option wouldn't seperate players as much as you think it would:


Anti-clampers already avoid EEG... letting them play it in away that they want wouldn't take anything away from those who play it now.

No... because people would be choosing how they want to play....

While not the goal of an option.... whatsoever.

This would be preferable than the game withering on the vine.. and dying a slow death.

And if you already know that is the answer...or at least believe that will be your answer EVERY TIME...then asking the same question just to tee up being able to say that...is the disingenuous part.

It's like asking a flat earther to explain their reasoning for believing that...and you work at NASA. I'd wager nothing they give as a reason will result in a different answer.

What is being suggested is a complete redesign of how the game is played. The game is mechanics driven where such mechanics is entirely predicated on a group of players regardless of CR, and level of experience to execute in order to successfully complete the instance. This isn't an option but a necessity to complete the instances whether it is in endgame or early end game.

Separating players (which is something you brought up) isn't a viable option as long as a CR skip is in play.

Sounds like the usual “Dev Treatment”
For my return, I am only interested in the anniversary event to be honest.
My kid wants to play with me so it’s the perfect time, other than that i don’t see any reason i should be spending money on this game anymore.
For older players like me, i don’t see the appeal in the current Dev approach with the game.

Hold on. Did those posts go on for 300 pages? I must have missed that.

Do we have to explain what constitutes as claim?
You dont have authority to claim how and why the game is designed the way it is. Its a business run for profit. Subject to change at any time, based on feedback, demand or a whim.
Any conclusions drawn from games history and dev communication are also subject to change. It takes one, single game update to shock and change anyone's perspective. So, excuse me, if my vision of the game is not as rigid as yours.

Any attempts to try to understand or pretend to understand, how and why things are, the way they are, are futile.

Only thing players can do is provide feedback and demand stuff. And that's what we are doing here.

Didn't know that a requirement to have the Devs change their position requires a thread 300 pages long of endless arguments and bad actors talking in circles.

Neither do those who want the clamp removed so they can one hit and quit ads and bosses because they have experienced the mechanics ad nauseam over the years is of acting authority either.

No. But if they were willing to completely upend the game for a couple of miscreants who didn't like "being dragged along," then maybe they'll eventually get around to giving in to our very moderate request.

Sure! Just remove the rewards out of the unclamped version outside of the inestigation and itll be just fine

It was way more than a couple...but, hey if the shoe box of "a couple of miscreants" fits neatly into an agenda...why not use it right?

Same can be said for the few on the forums wanting to revert the game back to smashing old content just to avoid mechanics simply because they don't feel like executing them anymore.

They don't even care about the game anymore

Between the expectations of the players and their objectives, only money matters, nothing is done anymore:

- They no longer want to add new powers, and I quote Mepps "because it's the players' fault, because they don't buy them..." (although people change powers very easily...)
- oh wait, we're going to add powers through artefacts...
- Native graphics update, it's coming out this year, they've been doing the same thing to us for 3/4 years...
- 2 DLC last year, we were supposed to release a 3rd, but we couldn't, it's not the first time they've done this to us.

On the other hand, releasing a €200 capsule or a €80 wolfpack is no problem, it's done on the double.

The game could have been upgraded to UE4 a long time ago, but it's still on UE3, even though the engine allows you to jump from one gen to the next...

There's no passion for the game on the part of the managers, only money matters, all games as old as DC add new or new classes, except here no power since 2017....

Oh but we are not the ones who are pretending to know how game is designed and should be played. At least not me. I am just asking for option like others in this thread.

I am not pretending anything. It is well known throughout the DC gaming community that the instances are completed through executing the mechanics. This has been well established, so I am not posting anything news breaking that would require "authority".

Again, take a look at the countless of posts dating back to 2014-2016 up until the clamp existed suggesting they were not happy with having others ruin their experience of content because those players were rushing ahead and one shooting everything. What is being suggested here...is reverting to that game design. The Devs obviously noted that as a problem and fixed it, regardless.

So giant read letters aren’t enough of a hint? What about the giant red zones that indicate an “I should probably not stand here”. Or maybe if I get pushed off through tat giant opening in the wall. Maybe I should stand in front of these 4 walls to prevent myself from falling off”. Outside of the devs playing the game for you some players just won’t learn. And these players do not deserve to get rewarded for not learning or trivializing content
