Thoughts since Launch of GU36

First off, we're playing the same game, I can assure you of that. And please provide some stats or facts that support your "3/4 of dcuo" theory, because as of now, that's just a made up statistic.

Secondly, the term "Real Vet" is once again based off of pure opinion. No facts or easily obtainable stats can be laid out to prove someone is a "Real Vet".

Finally, I can't give a good reason why this game is changing other than the fact that it is. This is something that you will either have to learn to accept and move on from there, or simply quit the game. It's that simple.

You can call it a slap in the face all you want, but it simply isn't true. The devs have a plan and a vision for this game that they want to carry out. I for one will see it at its end. Whether you will be around to see the end result through all the changes, that is simply your call.

*shrugs* you can either move on and accept the changes that this game is making (because too many resources have been invested in these changes to warrant reverting them now), or you can move on in another direction. It is purely your call now.

People think it is funny to say things like: "go away and give me your things".

It is not.

It is pretty rude, in fact.

It is like saying: I DONT CARE, GO F*** YOURSELF AWAY FROM HERE.

A little bit of consideration for fellow gamers is good.

I for one invested way too much time and money into the game to not adjust to these changes. If you dont like it, nobody is forcing you to stay, but at the same time you need to give it a chance, especially with the WM changes added in now.

This, a thousand times this.

Until now, I didnt see one skilled player, in USPC, hero side, greeting GU36.

The opinions in LFG, and LFG custom, were pretty bad yesterday.

But, again, it is WM time, so GU36 will be just a bad dream of one night.

Well, think of it this way:

The people that call in to a hotline to say what they think of the service, are not the ones that are content. They are the ones with complaints, not compliments.


You will not hear many of the voices of the people that have no problem with GU36, simply because they don't have any incentive to voice it. They are too busy playing the game.

I don't like WM

my bad. i forgot i was supposed to blindly follow and praise every single thing the devs do to this game.

You don't have to blindly praise it, but it is an inevitability that cannot be denied.

No.

Or you can get on the screwGU36train and take it straight to nopesville

Well, I like to listen to the playerbase I know, mostly the skilled players.

If people like Brice Allen, Airsupreme, Jeebie are talking badly about something, probably they know what they are talking about.

CAUSE THEY ARE SKILLED PLAYERS, and test a lot of things.

There are A LOT OF bad players talking about GU36, but they have no idea what they are talking about.

Not saying it your case, cause I dont know you.

SOE gave us WM and DLC 10 fast cause the game was a mess for skilled players yesterday.

WHY?

Cause a skilled player is FAST, and the game, the powersets, were so slow and clunky.

Devs why did you messed up celestial,the power set isalready slow but now its even slower and the combos does not work always.
Admonish=slow and damage reduced and combo does not work right
Retribution=slower than before and damage reduced
Plague=slower and damage reduced
Smite= slower and combo does not work right.

These are just the powers i tested from my loadout,i wil test the rest asap.
Have you people even tested celestial on test server,because i cant believe this is the final version.

This update is real bad for celestial i cant speak for other powerset yet.

I'm not going to call myself a skilled player per se, that is purely for people to decide when they play with me.

I play this game solely to have fun. I will continue to play it regardless.

There will still be ways to be skilled with the new system, they will just be different than the old system. Change is being forced here. Some players are ok with that, some are not. ALL, however, lack the option to play it the way it was. There is no choice here.

The only choices we have here are acceptance, or absence. There is no amount of begging, pleading, arguing, or threatening that will give is back what we don't have.

It's a brand new game now. Either you enjoy this like you did the last, or you move on.

I can't make that decision for you.

Exactly and I am glad GU-36 lasted only 16 hours because without WM it really was ..... well crappy IMO.

Honestly, I'm truly unhappy with this. If you read Tunso's post in WIP, it sounds more as if they're trying to divide pve and pvp. However, this weapon mastery truly forces you to PvE if you wish to do decent damage. However, as it seems it was a head honcho's idea and was pushed through regardless of the protest here on the forums, I will surmise it's going to take another year til they fix it.

Honestly, if they remove the 20sp cost I think that would be best. I have to spend my points in things I don't want or don't feel are relevant to my toon just to be able to open WM. Granted I have a pretty decent amount of skill points. But these can be game changing things. If you look at it - 231 sp is required JUST to unlock all Weapon Mastery [includes WM in the top] (275 if you wanted to master just one thing from all of them plus one group of innates on the bottom) . No one has that as the cap is in the 180's. Granted it could be a plan for the long term (if this game will even last that long as US PC side it's dying) as they will release more content; people will gear more, grind more, same routine and get more sp with more dlc's released. But at the current moment, the only ones who will do pretty decent damage are people with 160+ sp. Honestly if they drop the bar to 15 or remove that cap and just allow you to spec into the different attacks, that'd be great.

I think overall this is a great idea. I just think it could be executed just a bit differently. However, I also feel that DCUO is trying to get rid of all it's vets and it's doing a pretty good job so far.

Well, that´s the problem.

Your kind of attitude: "If you dont like, move on"; as I said, pretty "pragmatic" and rude.

Another problem, if you play just for fun, why you bother with what other person is saying?

You bother cause you want to sustain your opinion of things.

Let people talk what they want, as they want, leaving or no, its their right.

You want to prevent people from manifesting their thoughts? Just because you dont like, just because it is "useless"?

A lot of things were "useless" in this game, but they changed.

K ive read alot of these posts and I honestly welcomed it. I have watched as people i play with and others in chat swap powers constantly trying to use that next clip able exploit, jump cancel every thing they possibly can mcro what they cant and copy every load out vid they see on line. Then they compain the game is not challenging enough.

If you jump CANCEL an animation it should have always canceled the damage not made it hit twice....this was a needed fix. The animation passes were needed if the game was going to continue to have something to build on.

Weapon mastery i have found is a lot of fun yes it will be tricky at first to get down but im willing to take the time to learn.The crap i saw in lfg seemed to be mostly confusion about the dlc not being live, Hard light players asking for youtube videos and players coming back to the game to cry moan and complain before they go back to FF or to gw or whatever other game they decided to go play.

This game is changing thats true some parts for the better i wouldn't say some for the worse its just different. with every dlc update and game change there will always be people who complain and then they get used to it something changes and then they are unhappy again.
The devs cant please everyone they have a certain vision for this game and will take it the way it sees fit if some people leave then hey thats life. Theres enough of us that will stay around to teach the new people how to play. If your a true vet like the op likes to talk about youll take the changes come out on top with them regardless of the change.

Lifetimer here, I also purchased 3 other accounts for close friends(PC disc version). I've spent over $2000 easily between all accounts, supporting the needs/wants of teammates and myself. We have logged many hours and have had tons of fun, some would call us "veterans".

As seasoned players who enjoy both casual and challenging content a new mechanic sounded great...at first. Some information was released and we grew skeptical, the picture seemed to darken. Fortunately, we are extended the privilege to utilize the test server. As skilled veterans, we took WM to task, spent many hours testing, abusing, and pushing our powers/combos to their new limits.

We were able to adapt and become just as fluid as before. Now that it is live, we are sharing our experience and understanding with friends and league mates. These alterations to the mechanics of the game are not debilitating. In fact, for some, it will be an opportunity to gain a level playing field with others. This dlc and WM does "reset" the playing field in a way.

I encourage everyone to take a step back, see where you can be a help to others and learn from one another. All this negativity and self-importance is a disservice to the community. Lets band together instead of living in the moment and laying rash judgment.
