Life in DCUO -without Cr requirements

    Heres something to think about, what if Cr requirements were removed from this game and players can run content as they choose, I can honestly say that their will be positive and negative outcomes, one of the positive being that first starting players who purchase a dlc that is t6 will have access to that content directly whether they are physically ready for that content they have the choice.

    While a negative outcome can be that Players may leave the game out of difficulty from that content, that said I'll rather take a chance for players who purchase the content and have direct access then to have them buy such DLC and realizes he or she must be such Cr.

    But im curious what do you guys think about the whole Cr effect on DCUO, Discuss away.

    That is an awful idea. I think CR requirements need to be higher TBH.

    I just wonder how many other MMO's you've ever played?

    Progression is the name of the game in MMO. Everyone starts at the same point, and you work to get to higher content. It's how it's done. The CR Requirement for content is established so that people won't be carried through, at really low levels, to get the best stuff right away.

  5. BumblingB I got better.

    This game doesn't progress by leveling and experience points. It progresses by Item Level and Combat Rating.

    I greatly see your point of content always at the ready. Why buy DLC 14 when it will take you X amount to get there. Why am I spending $15 for a sub, when I can only play X amount of content?

    It comes down to, you are changing the foundation that we know and not replacing it with something that would drive players to play.

    No. If anything the minimum CR requirement on all content needs to go up.

    What needs to happen is to remove the CR restrictions they recently added.

    Here's a suggestion I made in another thread that could be applied to this. Don't take the CR requirements too literally, they were just placeholder.

    But in regard to your original post - it would utterly murder PVE for the game. So no.

    Without tiers in the game is a little more debatable.

    But tiers and CRs are necessary - compulsory.

    Would you like to be the one with a cr30 in t6 content when you're pugging? then having to explain to said player that they haven't got the gear for it and need to go down to T1 content to gear up.
  15. DarkNovaBlaze Dedicated Player

    I wouldn't mind this because it would allow me to gear my alts faster by running content that I know I can beat but that my CR currently doesn't let me in.

    The only negative effect would be in groups where you queue by yourself and get put with random players, and these groups already fail most of the time as it is.

    When it comes to groups formed from LFG, the community already makes their own requirements which we need to satisfy for the most part if we want to get into groups, so removing the actual CR requirement wouldn't change this.

    I honestly can't see any positives to this at all. There would be no point in letting a cr 30 person in T7 duos or alerts. Maybe taking the restrictions away from queued solos would be ok, but then people might be upset that they're allowed to queue for things they have literally zero chance of completing.

    I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Are you saying, they should make all the content drop the same level gear? Cuz that would completely remove progression from the game, except for feats and SP.

    Or are you saying they should leave the gear levels alone and just let people queue up for missions that would completely destroy them, that they'd have to be completely carried through? It would make the queue basically useless for anything larger than a duo, because there'd always be a high chance of dead weight on your team.

    Also, we used to be able to take lower tier people in with walkins, and I was glad they got rid of that. I didn't like the constant begging, or the way people skipped to the last tier without playing any of the lower missions even once.

    If such was allowed, im pretty sure I wont be the only one.:D

    I was actually refering to misions such as Gotham Wastelands, you have the DLC you may enter at your own risk, the solo missions will be solo only meaning if your trying to have someone walk you there will be no loots to recieve, and to que up but have your CR hidden from players that discriminates players with the minimum required Cr.
