Work In Progress Mid-Year Development Update: Announcing Large Content Releases, Open Episodes, and Summer Plans

Brilliant! Just when I thought this game was getting a tad boring you come out with this!

SUPER GREAT!!!!! Thanks for the update!

Ooh exciting ^^ I just hope that removing cr differiential won't totally break the game for months, like adding it did. :-S

i read Everything, amazing i am glad i came back at the last moment, i will admit it kinda suck we will not be getting style unlocker/ gear thing for our alts,yet but it's awesome that yall hit us with this info.

while i know the monthly content for legendary is free what would be the new price for this larger Content release?

Love the fact stats Matter will happen before episode 27 release all right devs i got the message.

Jareth you got what you wanted now be quiet .

Still would like a price for the new content thank you

Hey Mepps, a question:
Maybe I am not seeing something that is supposed to make me feel happy about the news. But for me, I paid for a one year subscription and the way I see it, I get one more content update by the end of the month, and after that there won't be new content for me to run for like half a year.
Is that assumption correct? So did I basically waste the money on the Subscription, which was intended to let me play new content every month?

I am really happy that you guys took your time to leave us an official statement, I was missing communication from devs to all the players. I just do not feel like what you plan is fair to those who, like me, can not pause their subscription for the many months without new content ahead, but do not have the chance to enjoy the monthly content that we thought we paid for, either.

Thanks in advance for possible clarification.

Best regards

"In regard to timing, here’s what you need to know. Episode 25 launched last week for all players, Episode 26 will launch later this month as our final monthly Episode, and Episode 27 – our first new, large release – will launch towards the end of this year or the beginning of next. And yes, Episode 27 will be Amazon Fury Part III."

This part worries me. Episode 26 comes out end of July/early August and Episode 27 wont be until the end of the year/early next year?

Basically a duo and raid to last 5 months. Last time you had such a lay off was between Sons of Trigon and Assault and Battery. How many people left and never came back?

I get that people want the change, but that is a very long time, especially during a time when new games will be coming out, to be out of the market with anything meaningful.

Caught that did you....I wonder how many others will notice the upcoming 5 months of nothing new

This is also what worries me, 3-6 months without content... I hope they find a way to entertain the players while they change it, i really don't want to see dcuo dying because of that.

okay different question and this is a good one with the new content course i'm talking about episode 27 coming out, how long do yall think it will be till the Next episode?

Since it will no longer be monthly content. i know before the monthly it was 3 months then it was monthly how long will it be this time around?

Great news! I've adapted to the monthly schedule, but the older, large release schedule always felt better to me. Having the old pace with the variety in content is the best of both worlds.

So things that were slated for this year are no longer on the plate.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing for the next 7 months. I'm excited for the return of a bigger content release, but now I will not have most of what I actually wanted to see change. All the while content will no longer be coming out monthly.

QUESTION: The free content open up, do the players get to keep the gear that drops from it? Like how utility belts lock when you are no longer a member. Does the gear that they acquire during that time count? Do they get the feats that come with it, like LPvE's new weekly cycle thing. They get a window of unlock.

QUESTION: Will there be a lock on the level 25 and skip option to alts only? Other games give an option to skip with money when you already played the game. Please say yes.

Will the large content releases be like the old ones where you aim (very important word, I know you can't make any guarantees and don't expect you to) to have four quarterly releases per year? Can we expect the equivalent of approximately three Episodes (in the current system) worth of content? There were some sparse DLCs in the past, but if Amazon Fury III follows suit with the amount of content in Amazon Fury II I'd be quite happy with that. AFII was, in my opinion, the best DLC we got in terms of amount of content and the mechanics that a lot of the content had.

Questions:

Will we see New Styles in Solo and DUO content? Ever since the monthly content has happened, we've seen a slew of reused styles.
The most in Particular that drops form Solos and Duo's is Mayan..
Can we please get some new style drops instead of recycled ones for gear that drops in solos and duos?


Will Support Roles be able to Do solo and Duo content again?

Ever since the Monthly content cycle happened, I couldn't do Solo's unless I was a DPS. is this gonna change?



-Is there gonna be a guide to help Players get SP?
A lot of players are at end game, and Have Low SP.
If something isn't done about this, we'll see a large Split of End-game Players.

-Can we Expect Dailies to Return with Amazon Fury Part 3?


Ever since the last Game Update for PVP, Support roles have been left out in Favor of DPS. We only have DPS gear, and for a while DPS was the only role you could play in PVP.
So -Regarding PVP Will we see Support roles make a come back with Support role PVP Gear?

Good news that I can run all my toons through next month content later this month and next month and than take the rest of the year off as you work on making improvement to the game.

Hopefully by Episode 27 the issues I see with this game are fixed and if not, well I probably won't be back.

So we already sit 2 weeks with nothing to do, and here you want to make us wait 3-6 months...that's what killed wow...I really wish you would stop listening to all these elitist whiney children, and just keep doing you. My yearly ship is up in October, and if this gets stale, then I won't renew...3-6 months with nothing to do...you know 90% of your player base has no elite groups to take them through stuff, so most of the "real actual" player base will sit with months of nothing but the same solos, duos and 4 mans to do daily right....that little 10% is in cliques and is capable of running the elitist raids you are releasing now...I moved from 10 years of WOW to this game, cause it was so much easier, and now I find this games taking on the elitist mindset of wow players and devs....so very very disappointed.

It's the right thing to do, but it wont hold players to play. Dry spells are very painful for a paying customer. We are talking about 5-7 month gap. Nothing new to hold us. We understand you need to have time to build the content, but it's definitely painful to not have anything to do. And with the fact we still don't have alt options which got pushed back until next year. We are now in this limbo phase if we kept up with content as it was released.

On a personal note I am quite disappointed that Style unlocking (not bothered about gear unlocking, myself) and Water may or may not come this year, those are the two things I was looking forward to the most. I understand the reasoning for Water is that you want to have the stats system back in place before you release it though, and I guess putting the style and gear unlocking on the backburner is so you can devote your resources to bigger things.
