    I'm not arguing that the system isn't flawed. I'm simply pointing out that your statement regarding it taking six weeks to craft a set is wrong.

    Sometimes I wonder why I even plan to come back to this game...

    I stopped PvP'ing the day they nerfed the Lair Battle rewards.

    I agree with most of your points,

    But i want to know is, with how bad shape the game is in now, why the heck are the devs not doing anything to fix it? Or are they just milking as much money as they can until shut the game off?

    I still say this monthly content was a huge mistake, Only takes a week and then you are done with that episode, Monthly content is not keeping us logging in, Atleast with monthly you were running the content for like a month, month and a half and then you got to enjoy the gear you got and work on something else while being OP.

    This month the face must be crafted, then next month it's the two rings, that's 3 pieces of gear that will take so long by the time you have them, a new cycle will have begun already.

    I understand what you said, I corrected it, honestly I feel the system should have been on test an entire cycle before devs just released it, specially because it just seems that it relies on replay badges more than actual daily runs.

    NOBODY likes snobbish elitism, trust me.

    However, there's a point in the tiers, or at least there was, at which pugging becomes impractical.
    Mainly BECAUSE the players were unskilled, or not willing to work with you- but also because roles.

    I recall being 100% unable to complete certain instances, but then one person gives up and the instance reopens and we were like "please be the role we need, please be the role we need, please be the role we need" and if it was, we swam through the content. Needed a healer? We got the healer- we progressed, woot. Needed a controller, or a tank? Praise Jeebus, now we can finally complete this instance.

    Seriously, even if they weren't even all that "skilled" or just barely knew what they were doing, a little health restoration, a little power restoration, someone to draw the attention of the big bads, etc. made a HUGE difference.

    Also, I didn't say anything about League exclusive, or ONLY teaming up with people you know.
    Just having a prepared group beforehand. Has everyone forgotten about the Looking for Group (LFG) chat?

    Posted this else where, but this thread seems more fitting:

    "Elite" in Elite Alert is just for show. Mepps already commented on the difficulty for alerts, they have to be beatable by the majority.

    However, i am also disappointed in Elite Raids, the only difficulty in them is in the Last boss fight, the rest is easy. The only elite raid that had a hard first boss was thrones, that was mainly down to the ads and essence mechanic.

    I always thought elite raids should have a cosistant level of difficult throughout, 2 / 3 bosses at once, ads with special abilities ( cryo ad from HH SM, Bowmaster, punisher, the ad from lockdown that prevents revives, corruptors) all great, would like see more and some new ones throughout a elite raid.

    Sadly there's no elite raid for the WoTL finale.

    Look up Kaisers' combo for HL called K007. It was pRam>whips pSnaptrap>Fan>phantom . Now I know that a lot of PC players were macro'ing this combo but on PS we had no macros and doing that combo by hand was very taxing and my fingers used to cramp. There is NOTHING in this game that can stand and evem raise their hand as hard to execute when compared. Clipping took time ti master, the only ones who dont agree just never tried. Doing this combo without getting under the boss was in no way "easy".

    The On Duty queue needs work. It always has. Being guaranteed a 5-1-1-1 group (usually) and having no option to request a different setup is silly. We should be able to specify how many of each role we would like to run with, or certain instances where an additional role is required should have that built into matchmaking. Throne of the Dead, for instance, should always try to set matchmaking for two tanks.

    True enough, haha, most of the times when they actually do change it according to what most of the player base seems to want, the remaining portion of the player base lashes out.

    Honestly I commend them for even still trying. I'd feel like I was dealing with a million rather aggressive dogs, trying to appease them all, trying not to get my hand bit off, or just flat out torn to shreds.

    "What do they want?!"
    "They all want different things!"
    "I'm not sure even THEY know what they want!"
    "We gotta keep trying man, we gotta keep going, our livelihood is at stake here!"

    How do you "know" people were macroing on PC? This game doesn't allow macros and will ban players even if they just have drivers for devices that can use macros. Other PC MMOs encourage macros, but DCUO most definitely does not.
  14. Coulromaniac Dedicated Player

    That would help a great deal, yes.

    I know, this time interval seems to be a bit way off

    Difficulty is somewhat here. Just masked. HH is a joke of a raid. How many got Granny Gold Star? How many attempts? How many just now getting it 20CRS later. How many have death proof? How many shouts do I see. It's almost impossible to get a group to try for BDE don't die. I think it's easier than GGS. Both sides hero and villain. Many are scared to attempt it. The few times we tried it, had one minor death at a boss then people wanna give up. Even if it only took us 2 attempts to get to final without dying. It's Crazy.

    Looks like a harder 1-2-3-4 lol, so only HL could offer this DPS "challenge" ?
  18. MuTeDx Committed Player

    L2+Square, Tap Square, L2+Triangle, Tap Triangle (x2), Jump (x)

    This combo was VERY fast and hard. 1234 is nothing but the powers, this was a usage of the power bar, weapon attacks, and player movement controls. 1234 only used the bar buttons, no where even grazing the difficulty level of K007. Gadgets came close a few times with their jump clipping but only HL was this intense.

    My fingers used to get numb all the time doing this rotation...lol

    I agree with a few points, but the combat system revisions are old news. Time to move on and forget about pre-WM combat, those days are long over. The current system is much smoother and it's better for new players too.
