    Did anyone notice the kryptonite aura looks a bit different...Ultraman's has like those little lines coming off him and this one just looked sparkly like they changed it for the auras.

    Like most of the community I am upset at seeing another capsule (with feats) drop. You simply are not listening to us - or simply do not care. I spend thousands on your game a year. I am tired of watching the community of experienced players dwindle away due to this business model. Since their start we have asked for capsules to not have feats in them (thus pay to win casino style).

    You literally could spend thousands and not get the item/s you need to achieve the feats. This sends you to the broker where prices are out of control and the mainstream player (IS NOT) going to have the 150 Million for that one collection piece they really need. It is this scenario which allows all the gold vendors to thrive.

    We all would prefer you make your money off us by placing things in the marketplace and keep feats out of it. Capsules would be fine if they were about cool items or vanity items and people (chose to) buy them for the cool stuff. This would make a happy community again.

    But you have learned that for those whom wish to keep their skill points up (or catch up) you have them hostage with capsules. Slowly feats from capsules have become a bigger and bigger slice of the SP Pie. In time it will be (or) only second to Episodes. I am writing this today because I love this game and the people in it - that is why I play. Your making it hard for me to stay.

    I have 376 Skill Points and I play daily. I have been a League Leader, and I am in several Leagues - Hero and Villian. I also have my own farming League of alts along with some of my friends. My main two homes are Legends of Vahalla where I play Captain America and the Justice Girls where I Play Beta Babe, Betazon, and PSIREN SONGG.

    I appreciate you taking the time to read this and hope that you listen - enough - to make some positive changes that the community would embrace. While you are at it...also...take away feats for OP or elite gear. The gear itself should be the reward - just like it always used to be before things got out of control with gambling and micro-transactions.

    Most Sincerely and with Respect....one of your most devoted players.

    Just making sure that point comes across loud and clear...especially with some of these cool enhanced emblems.

    Do not buy stabilizers, that's the only way to send the message that we do not want more TCs. The drop rate is insanely bad, and it basically is just DCUO gambling. Also, if you are upset with the prices that people sell the high end items for, don't buy them. I had a guy shouting last night for the complex crime scene riddle collection. I asked how much, knowing that it's normally 140Mil in the broker or so. He said 160Mil 'becasuse there are none in the broker right now' and I laughed at him. I've got the cash, but I also know that if people continue to buy at these prices, people will keep expecting to get them. I know this is not a TC item, but the point is the same, prices are out of control, drop rates in TCs are out of control, skill points are becoming meaningless....I mean you could spend 200+ million getting the new material to get 1/2 sp and a bubble wrap material, or you could have spent 12 holly leaves you could gather in 10 min running the Xmas seasonals and get nearly 2 SP...or hey, just go to your mail during the Halloween seasonal and open the base deco box which dropped another SP for applying base items.

    Lots of 'skill' there.

    I spend my money on membership....I run a few accounts for bonus stabilizers. Other than that I won't buy into the pay 2 win.

    well i've been gone a month or so and already forgot what my toon even looks like. i'll resurrect him if we ever get anything original again like new weapon styles, dlc based styles like the rest of the sons of trigon stuff, and or more solo content. for now i'm defecting to champions online, less artistic visually, but ultimately more fun.

    Hey, have to say great job on these emblems. For people who want to have their own toon instead on an iconic, these are pretty awesome.

    This isn't going to be popular (probably going to hear that a lot with this time capsule, sadly, lol) but we hope you feel better soon Mepps. Now we know what pushed the livestream back a few days.

    Yeah, I'm really bothered by the fact that TCs keep having more sp tied to them, just personally. Also, the exobyte head and hands seem to be something just phoned in or something. That's just my opinion of course, maybe others will love them. The antimonitor hands look cool, but not collection cool.

    That gear set though. Give someone a raise. If it didn't have feat points attached, it would be the best thing of the whole year so far. Love the bat back, and the way the gear has the lightning attached for enhanced almost turns it into a tintable version of the reverse flash material, except it's only this gear set. But looks great.

    Honestly, I think people would be more interested in this TC if the kryptonian aura were the collection and the antimonitor hands the ultra-rare drop (well, it would probably have to be rare, not ultra-rare, lol.) As it is, I don't see people being very interested in it, except for the gear.

    whooo hooo ty dcuo ,another TC that ill never get to finish,if u wanna keep giving us TC fine but please make it so that when we get a stabilizer it will open 1 of each type of TC,this way we can maybe have a better chance at completing the collections from every tc that u have produced

    Gotta say, with the exception of the Kryptonite Aura, this is the weakest set of styles yet released in a TC. You've finally put out a TC that has so little of interest that I'm actually not going to bother buying stabilizers.

    Why can you not put into TC's then things we ask for? There have been thousands of posts on the thread for what styles we want, all of which you've ignored. If you went into that thread & just pulled out 4 or 5 of the most requested items to put in each round of TC's (along with other junk that you devs want to put in), you'd have literally years worth of series of TC's, which you already know people would want.
  17. Jay Smeezy Dedicated Player

    Lol...no worries as it appears they dont drop as much as they did on yesterday. So it will be even a tad bit more difficult to complete collections...forum cry babies win again always complaing about the tcs....
  18. McClain457 New Player

    Does anyone have list of collections for the new collections for the paradox tc?
  19. Luthor31 Level 30

    I am not a longtime member of the community, so I cannot in fairness weigh in on the Feats issue.

    I will say this.
    Barely 24hrs notice for the new TCs, was a bit shocking.
    I was hoping to get a bigger stockpile of Notorious TCs, as it is my Hope, to complete the Visitor's gear set, on each of my 3 LLexs.
    I prayed thanks to my maker, when my Superrwoman got the Superwoman Emblem on the 1st TC she opened.
    I was pleasantly surprised when, on opening my most recent TC, that even though I did not get any piece of gear, I got 3 Fragments, making me that much closer to another Stabilizer!

    The business model may leave a bit to be desired, yes.
    But the ability to Make Stabilizers from Fragments, is brilliant and ahead of the curve.
    I don't know if WoW or Champions Online or City of Heroes does that. I know for a fact that SWTOR & STO do not.
    EA is in trouble for its overly aggressive cash-grab tactics. The fact that DCUO has this system, may spare Daybreak from the legal backlash that is likely to hit the majority of games with 'gamble packs'.

    Will I buy a Sub? Probably. But if I do it won't be for the extra 'cash' my characters will be allowed to have; it will be for everything other than that.
    Will I throw real money down just for stabilizers? Maybe. Maybe not. We'll see.
    I haven't yet.
    I have upgraded accounts.

    As for the new TC, I will be stocking up on them as I want the gear for 1 alt, and the Kryptonite Aura for 2 other alts. And the Materials, though other colors might have been better. Or to have one in Amber and one in Green. Or take the pigments from what the equipping character is using?

    If you subscribe and get the unlimited cash, you can buy notorious TCs from other players on the broker
