War of the Light part 2

    Really? Black lanterns? I think 3rd army and Vulthoom are more likely. Those things are self contained lantern lore, black brings white and that includes a bunch of swampthing elemental magic stuff.

    You have done amazing points. And I have to say that I agree with you to a certain extent. But I thought that armories were not part of the dlc because they wanted to let f2p players see armories and maybe entice them to either buy the dlc or to sub. But, I can see why legendary players wanted more than one. Loyal customers should get (a few) kickbacks and giving two free probably wouldn't have killed the game but sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.

    I don't see the decision of only giving legendary members one armory as milking, just a business decision they made. This decision made many people upset and even though the community was vocal about their displeasure, the Devs stuck to it, although they did lower the prices. Small victories. ^.^

    I would agree that the weapon packs are a little annoying when I consider that they could have made clothing styles instead. >.< hehe love styles, I wants them all...just not any more weapon ones...

    I was worried that this thread was going to degrade into a Dev basing thread. But I shouldn't have apparently. ^.^

    (Oh and I also love it when one is able to use cool words in conversion ^.^)

    It may be just me who doesn't know what you are thinkng of by "organic."

    And what on earth is "artificial" about charging money for things one is selling? It's how capitalism works.

    These requests and QQs always come down to a simple thing: people don't like being charged money. Well, people would prefer everything be for free, or cheaper.

    That doesn't mean you "deserve" another party pricing according to your desire to benefit. That's simply not how business works. And this is a business.

    Personally I'd like to see DCUO hire a lot more devs so they could make more content faster and better, but it's obvious that SOE isn't willing to put a great deal of money into that. What the profit margin is of the game, I have no idea, but I can't imagine it's huge or we'd see some sign of that, rather than repeated mass layoffs of SOE/DCUO employees.

    If you wanna look at the next wotl's, word on the street is the maps are hiding in game. A buddy told me he and his friend explored them a little. Could be rumor though.

    There's no pleasing people.

    There were endless threads screaming that armories shouldn't be part of a DLC. That putting Armories in a DLC forced people to buy a DLC and was "milking" money out of people by forcing them to spend money on stuff they didn't want (that DLC) on something they did want (Armories).

    DCUO finally changed and agreed to make armories available separately, and now people are QQing about that.

    "I don't want to pay money for DCUO things" really isn't a valid complaint. It's an understandable desire, but if you don't want to pay what a business charges, your solution is to not pay it. Insisting that it's wrong for a business to set whatever price it wants, as if you're owed a better price, is simply ridiculous. Tell it to your supermarket and see how far it gets you. Or try it with any business you deal with. Best of luck on that.

    I wrote or was righting a responds but it went so long and into so many topics at some point I got bored, and remembered its not worth all the effort, and that I don't want to type half the night cause I went OCD. You have every right to believe what ever you believe, even if what you believe leads to higher cost for everyone, and no guaranty the game wont shut down next month. I digress, so let me just TY for your vigilance in looking out for "the game as a whole," or who ever it is your looking out for, and give you the nod and smile... :)

    And say, "Ok let's do things your way, then I'm sure their will never be problems again, but if by chance there are then at least we will know one thing for sure, that they're your fault!" :D

    You didn't have to pay a penny to get an armory and they are not required at any point to complete any content in the game.

    They are one if the coolest features to come along in the game.

    You should consider communism or socialism with your statements on economic matters you are definitely not free market

    To add on to my previous, micro transactions are part of MMO's it's one of the few strategies found to be successful.

    As far as shallow content, in what context? The story in this DLC is so compelling I feel like I just read a good book and have to wait a year for the author to pen the next. I want to know what happens to the mist, what the sinestro corps has planned, how are they going to introduce blue lantern gear

    Feel free to have an opinion and eon your thoughts but your looking at part of puzzle and making assumptions about the rest. As far as micro transactions you will just have to get over it

    It's a free to play game, they gotta make money somehow, you're not forced to buy anything.

    Only thing that I don't like is DLCs like Home Turf and Hand of fate where if you don't buy those you're left behind in a competitive standpoint

    Taking bets on Greedy Lex and Star Sapphire. Any takers?

    Also they really really need to make Batman get absorbed by the yellow mist.

    Or the green mist

    Maybe both and turn into some lemon lime abomination we need to fight. XD

    I think the true test of the DLC is time. The fact that they had since August and came up with this is a little unsettling. It is not a knock against the devs with the ps4 release, armories, holidays, go that have been beyond great they have done a great job. From what I am seeing they seem to have a more steady flow of new things coming. More than I can ever remember we are getting more information about what is next which means they have a plan and working on it well in advance. If we get a steady infusion of dlc on their 3 month time table dlc's like this will be fine. If we go another 5 months before amazons pop up that's when this dlc will be a problem. I love WoL part 1 but it definitely feels like a nibble especially because of the fact it is still tier 5.
  14. Yui Loyal Player

    Amazon Fury - 3-part DLC like War of the Light. Amazons declaring war on men and Greek Mythology stuff.
    Halls of Power - Apokolips and New Genesis. Darkseid. League Halls stuff.
    War of the Light Part 2 - Continuation of WOTL Part 1. If they do introduce a new lantern power in this DLC, it should be a healer powerset cause we already have a two lantern powers which has tank and controller role.

    Spytle discusses this from 12:50 in the video below.

    Well, Spytle said "By the time we're done with War of the Light, I promise you, we will have exhausted the emotional spectrum. You will see everything in there, and maybe, possibly, even a few colors or absence thereof, by the end..." so it's possible Black Lanterns will appear in the future WOTL dlcs. He says this in 18:40 below.

    you need to re-watch that video. it doesn't say that WotL2 will come immediately after Halls of Power. he even makes a disclaimer that they may not be sequential. it's going to be at least 6 mos but probably more than a year before we see part 2.
  18. Yui Loyal Player

    Well, I based that ordering on the information that we have now, and so far they haven't announced any DLCs so yeah. So far, the only future DLCs we know that are coming are:
    Amazon Fury Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
    War of the Light Part 2, Part 3
    Halls of Power

    I doubt that they're gonna do Amazon Fury Part 2 just after one DLC gap. They might as well do War of the Light Part 2 after Amazon Fury Part 1 then if they're gonna do that.
  19. helvetica New Player

    as long as you realize your post isn't fact and that the video you posted doesn't confirm anything you posted...

    the devs have already confirmed they have other DLCs planned outside of the trilogies we know about. they just haven't confirmed what they are. those will come inbetween the story arcs.

    OH! You got me! Ooooo-s You got me good!... Yep Idk what to do, I mean really what do you say to that? :rolleyes:
