SM feedback

Rage is an over the top broken tank powersets it's down right op. Which explains why you wouldn't need anything some powersets do way less then others can. Which is why there is no competition with survival mode. You can say u made it to round 30 and I'll tell u you did it with all precision dpses. All has nothing to do with cr or sp or artifacts just how broken ur powerset is or weapon. U could tell me you made it to round 30 wearing no gear at all and I'll tell you I believe you because you don't need gear to beat anything. Just need an exp group who know whats overpowered and the best option for the job. You can tell me stats revamp was made for very experienced players and I would believe it. But if you tell me stats matter I will not believe you because that's not what stats revamp is

I rather enjoyed my runs in sm. It requires a cooperative effort and communication for sure but I was able to heal it with mid rank legion adaptive augments and 260s on my origins, and all 3 arts in the 120s. Had issues on my main which is rage did ok dps but tanking was uncomfortable after 1st boss. I don't like kite tanking I'm a in your face kinda tank but me and my league mate switched he tanked and I dps and we got it done. Ready to attempt round 11 and up on both my electric and rage characters tonight hopefully. Good job devs.

care to tell us how you really feel?

Is there any other kind of rewards for beating 28 and 29 this year even if it’s not a bronze and silver crown like last SM? Kind of disappointing if there is absolutely nothing you receive for all the hard work and time put in those higher rounds even if you did not end up beating 30

Right? This has kind of become his hill lately...

Are the freeze henchmen the best source of pet damage on bosses since it says 10% increase in damage while in survival mode? The other pets don’t seem to say 10% increase in damage under theres.

i haven't been active on here in awhile. good to know. thank you.

The GU update says all survival mode pets do more damage in survival mode. That being said, henchmen do so little damage that even with a 10% boost any other actual pet trinket will do more damage than those henchmen.

Cool thanks

So you don’t need gear to beat any content in the game? Interesting, this is definitely news to me

This happens all the time in regular content too. I’d say it’s not entirely tied to having high level artifacts (more so in sm obviously). People queueing into endgame content and they’re so used to getting carried they don’t even know how to actually play the game (effectively anyway). Probably cr skippers mostly I suppose, don’t bother to equip turf mods or trinkets etc, don’t bother to xp up artifacts or even equip them, hell I’ve seen players who don’t even equip a soda. Half the time they just stand there doing nothing or just spamming weapon attacks.

It’s a rather odd assumption isn’t it?

With my league we wanted some hard challenge where your group has to be good, but it’s finally som HOT broken garbage.

I don’t have words right now to describe how broken lazy buggy and how bad it is. I’ll make a thread tomorrow, but gratz devs you could not do worse if you wanted to....

You don't need gear there was a video a few of them. A few videos showing people doing raid runs with four people. If you run a raid with 8 people increase the latency of the Run. Meaning of increasing your chances of the mechanics one shotting you even though you've moved from it 3 seconds ago. The only thing gear does is give you your main stat it does not give you any health or defense to survive any of the mechanics. To survive mechanics you need experience with that said all you need to do is dodge and weave. That's what stat revamp is

I'm confused. Gear doesn't give you health or defense?

Basically what you hope for is to be able to stand still the entire run and take every single hit that comes without ever needing to move or dodge or actually do anything?

It looks like it give u health and defense but in reality you'll never be able to take a shot not even from basic attacks. If your group dies on you u will not be able to take any shots not even basic attacks. You'll need to change to support role and by the time u do that ur already dead. What I mean by that is if ur geared why can't u survive I the group wipes and you are left alone I'm dps role. Iv seen myself geared to the max 200 ranked arts in dps role and a simple reg alert 2 adds in front of me destroy me like i wasn't wearing anything or had 550+ sp stacked in health. So that leave me to believe health and defense on gear isn't there at all its just for looks.

Some enemy attacks are not worth a flat number damage, some attacks are percentage based and ignore defense. If an attack is scripted to hit you for 100% of your health bar, it doesn't matter if your health is at 200 or 2,000,000,000. If you aren't blocking or moving out of the way you are losing 100% of your health bar.
But I can see how someone who just stands there repeatedly tapping triangle on their rifle could have trouble blocking or getting out of the way.

To be honest I just don't think this is the game for you when it comes to the combat. In end game missions as a DPS you aren't meant to be taking all of the damage from an enemy, content is based off playing roles and being a group. Duos and Solos though are different, those stats will definitely help you out, maybe you want to stick to those?
You'd still survive much better in most cases compared to somebody with less health and defense from you. Of course you wouldn't be invincible still, but you'd be harder to kill even if just a tiny bit.

Your definitely right I am playing the wrong game. This mmo doesn't have enough progression systems for stats to matter at all. It has 39 eps and leaves us with one ep for 3 months for progression. That sure does sound like the wrong mmo but like I said I'll give the game til the end of the year. They said they have plans for more progression systems. lets see them if they don't have plans to buff gear or sp tree we need those progression systems asap. This time though don't buff all content to account for the buff like u did with artifacts for 3 slots at 160. You forgot to account for gear and the sp tree and its been 3 years

Can you really see the trouble though can u. If rifle is the only problem you can come up with you didn't find enough problems. I have about 100 problems with how all this works and for starters it's not player friendly not even casually. If you work hard for your stats your gear your skill points you should be noticed out there in combat. not look like some noob who just started dcuo a day ago. if you want to sit there and tap triangle all day and staying in one spot you should be able to you work for it enjoy it, hell you even paid for it with ur time and ur money. I remember being able to run 16 characters at end game fully geared you can't do that anymore not with stats revamp. That's revamp takes too much of your time because of these artifacts. If they would bring more progression systems or just simply buff gear and the skill point tree you would see a lot more support rules out there
