on the villain side, he's willing to help with just about anything, So send him igm, voice chats, and tells he responds to them all.

Difficult to provide challenges through LFG. Limitations make it difficult to convey such messages using fewer characters.

Yea really lol. But seriously the OP really hit a nerve with me. U take a year off and expect to come back geared up like the ppl who haven't stopped playing? What did u think was gonna happen when u quit, someone was going to play your account for u? Then u get on the forums and pretty much bash SOE and all the serious players that keep this game going. Idc who flames me over this post, but its the truth. I mean who creates threads like this? Seriously who?

Sounds like a personal and sad problem. May I suggest another game?

I see what you are saying but don't think that would be an issue. It's simply a matter of adjusting player stats, not NPC's. Let's say a 5 cr window as an example. If you go into an instance with a minimum requirement of 50cr with a toon of 95cr, your stats would be adjusted to a 55cr level while in that instance. Once you exit, your stats would return to normal.

I know I would enjoy this feature. It would allow players to continue to farm styles while providing a challenge to those of us with very high level toons.

I get what your putting down. I don't think I really know any1 who just started playing the game though...most are oldschool who had to roll w/ the punches of new content. TBH its kinda weird hearing people complain they are flying through the content when its typical of new players to just want to rush to end game. The OP does have some what of a valid point but as I stated they should be careful what they wish for as that could put them in a situation(s) where they spend hours on end & still do not finish the content.

I see your sig says here years before F2P...that is a very interesting statement if you weren't part of development, since launch & F2P happened in the same year...anyway like me I'm sure you have spent many mind numbing hours on some of the content upon release trying to get though it. This is the other aspect that the OP is missing...is this the fun they want? All it would take is one horrible raid full of undergeared inexperienced players & the OP would change their tune immediately wishing just one OP player could come in to carry them through.

I personally do not want to have my abilities scaled to the min for old content. I have spent hours, days, months, years running the same things over & over due to lack of content. I enjoy being able to return to content and see how my abilities now trump the forces that halted me in my earlier progression. You know being super. Other than that if I'm farming an instance for drops daily because the games loot table & drop rates suck, I'm sorry but i have little concern for a player who wants to explore the area and stare at animations, when I'm now running it for the millionth time.

Imagine Batman telling Superman, hey chill brah...lets not end this confrontation yet...I need to get a good beat down first.

No, I can't say that I have been given any sort of grief for it because those are the people who find their way to my ignore list pretty quick. Also, there are a lot of tool-tips which aren't noted in the screen tips yet or have been overlooked. There's still no tool tips for specific roles or power sets either but no one complains about that.

Again, your experience is more about the community than anything the developers can actively do to change the experience. The developers have given us very specific tools to do specific things like form groups. If people choose not to use them, it's no one else's fault but the end-user. Unfortunate but true.

The fact is that there is a lot of things lacking in our community based on how we communicate to each other, how we work together in game, and how well we tolerate the differences between player tiers. Again, I emphasize, this is more to do with us than anything the developers do and still maintains validity to my statement about the OP whining more about something he doesn't like rather than looking to be proactive and finding a solution.

If you (or anyone else) wants to discuss this further, rather than monopolize this thread, open a conversation thread with me and take it offline.

I dont get why some people are always so pissed about DCUO, yet they say its their favorite game and they play it 24/7. Just go play a different game, dont come complaining to the creators. If u have a problem, f#@k off.

TL;DR , but overgeared players arent really ruining the game, the lack of a challenge is ruining the game, and that stems from us getting monthly upgrades via supply drops, new gear, WM etc etc etc and no new content, so players get bored and complain, after going thru this cycle for long enough players leave, game makes less, more of a cash grab is implemented and servers close.

I really wish they just reduced all the stats on the gear to make them more in line. The fact that I can solo entire portions of even some T5 content is appalling.

As much as I like buying gear with as many pretty big green numbers on it as I can, if the next tier of gear only bumped me up 20 precision a piece, id be cool with it. But the gap from T6 to T4 is like thousands.

Thats the point though. We complain BECAUSE we love the game.

Ill never stop complaining on the forums. Ever. For the rest of the time the servers are up.

Every complaint I make is something I think could be made better. In most cases, it has to do with Mental or controlling or difficulty or what have you, but if I didnt complain then nothing would ever get changed. I dont think people realize that the forums are for getting our opinions across, no matter how harsh they sound.

I understand exactly what you are saying. T1 to T2 increases the important stats slightly. T2 to T3 also increases them slightly. T3 to T4, again slightly. T4 to T5 -> HUGE jump in important stats. I imagine a lot of that was to compensate for the difficulty of the Nexus/Paradox Wave raids before their difficulty was reduced. It is overkill for most other instances.

Its overkill for T6 content, let alone T5. The jump on the gear was absolutely enormous, to the point where the stat increases on green 81 gear from T4 is significantly better.

I got it when Nexus and Dox were hard, but its time to reel everything back.

So because i have better gear or am a few tiers higher im never supposed to run lower content? And throwing all t5 and t6 players in2 a giant generalization of players that are ruining the game is flat out wrong. A thread like this is flat out ridiculous. And there is no challenge in dcuo atm, at least not imo. WM has done that. I guess when the new gear comes out in dlc11 i wont get it because t2 players will complain if i do. And a not all overgeared people are so called "try-hards" as u call them.
Your going to leave again? CYA

Exactly right

Scale the player to the content. If your uber geared, running a T2, knock us back down to T2 level. Especially if your leaving the role less buff in...

Do not force a sync. Low content being challenging is fun once. Every time after that, it's more fun to say, "remember when this used to be hard?"

Hi Mepps, being one of the Overgeared players who are still looking for older styles, this is the perfect reason for walk in teleporters. The content can stay the same, but maybe make it CR accessible only. I don't mind helping out the randoms, but I can understand their frustration if I am basically burning through the alerts all for the sake of one piece of gear. I would much prefer to just walk in by myself or with some of my league mates to get in and out rather quickly.

A very valid point, there is some fun in blasting through old content that you used to have trouble beating...
