DCUO: Artifact Swapping Drama?

My main problem with art swapping is that it's just not fun who wants to go in a menu every couple seconds.

They don't want a 4th slot, but is ok with swapping arts which is much worse and equals more than 4 slots of buffs. I've seen the argument, " if you can switch a weapon you should be able to keep switching your artifacts". Weapons do not carry their own passive buffs, percentage stat buffs, and special abilities. Not ever the same neighborhood. It's like comparing apples to oranges. I think a 4th slot with disabled stat buffs should be added, with artifacts locked in combat. You may ask, " why can't I get the buffs/abilities I paid for?" Because you are only meant to run 3, thats how it was intended. If the devs wanted all your artifacts to buff you all at once, while sitting in your inventory, they would have made it that way. They want you to find synergies between artifacts and CHOOSE between the ones you have. You want to use more buffs, but oppose a 4th slot, it's beyond me why. Just goes to show the hypocrisy at play. I hope it's dealt with soon.

[@ObsidianChill]

The artifacts were designed with having their effects last 12s with or without the artifact equipped though. If they want to change that by all means but to say its not intended when every single buff artifact ability works as such is not accurate.

[@IconicSimulation]

@@ObsidianChill The devs had said they did not forsee the use of artifacts in this way. Just because it works, doesn't mean it's not broken and not intended. It just means you are taking advantage of an unintended perk, which can be later fixed if the devs, deemed so.

[@ObsidianChill]

@@IconicSimulation fixed ie the actual abilities lasting 12s whether they are equipped or not. Removing the ability to swap or adding a 4th slot is not how to fix artifacts. Which is why it is ludicrous to be suggested

[@IconicSimulation]

@@ObsidianChill Let's agree to disagree. I think swapping is ludicrous, but it's all in the perspective to whom it benefits or doesn't. So I'm sure the devs with eventually decide on the matter.

[@ObsidianChill]

@@IconicSimulation You don't need to art swap to complete content. Players don't want balance or they would be asking for artifacts themselves to get adjusted, but they aren't they are crying because they see players doing something they either can't or don't want to do and want to take that away from them. If EoG was fixed you wouldn't need to swap in multiple DPS arts because the damage wouldn't be broken from using EoG but no, not talking about that we are talking about artifact swapping.

Nah am a gadget controller and am not going to be swapping shit. Am not going to be consistently opening my inventory every 10-14 sec to be doing this.

[@untamedsab5497]

For me, it comes to two issues: 1. As someone already stated, this is trash to spectate. And while spectating in and of itself isn't important, it's an indication that the majority of people would not see this as the first gameplay of DCUO or thinking of returning to DCUO and think "wow, this looks fun, I want to play inventory simulator". Stark difference between this and watching T4/T5 era. I have never seen a game where optimal play completely trashes the fun of the game and it makes unrecognizable compared to any other previous iteration or meta that has existed in the game. Even if I wanted to come back, I'm not playing this butchered ass remnant of the controller role. Switching gear/items has always been a thing, but at no point has it ever been optimal to spend 40% of your gameplay in your inventory. And no game has ever, /ever/ had swapping of gear/items to this level. That, in and of itself, should be indication something is majorly flawed. That you have branched in gameplay significantly from other games in the same genre, and are getting negative feedback, and your gameplay is suffering. I could only imagine a dev on a stage at a big convention advertising dcuo's high skill gameplay trying to hype shit up and half of it is in the inventory. That's just a big "N-gga, no." moment. 2. At no point have I ever had to spend what is likely $1000+ or exploits to get 12 200 artifacts to be the best controller possible. That is a ridiculously high investment to be the most optimal anything. And said investment is only going to get higher. While controlling may be the worst example now, it's only going to snowball and get worse over time if nothing is changed. Eventually controller will have 15-16+, and dps's and healers will be where controller is. Healer->art swap to summon a pet HoT-> art swap to do a group shield -> art swap to a lay a base HoT -> art swap to put a safety net heal on everyone -> art swap to increase everyone's health from using a priority heal -> art swap to gain power back every time you cast a group heal or priority heal -> art swap to lower your shield cooldowns -> art swap to start a burst of nature-like heals that last for 5s -> art swap to put a HoT on all pets in combat -> art swap to shield all pets in combat. These stupid ass effects can just get just stacked repeatedly and they can make clones for other roles. Art swap to summon a pet to transfer damage to -> art swap to shield yourself after doing a group pull -> art swap to put a shield on everyone -> art swap to gain power back every time you do a pull -> art swap to get a HoT every time you do a pull -> art swap to make your revive timer longer before it expires -> art swap to be immune to death, and if your health reaches 1, become invul for 10s, has 10min cd. The more artifacts they add, the stupider these effects are going to get. At some point you probably won't be able to do a weapon combo between and you'll just stay in your inventory coming out to only do 1 animation and only PC macro's that automate it will be optimal because of time constraints. This is the same snowball as skill points where the gap between the playerbase based on irl money is going to start gapping performance. You can do alt accounts in order to cheese time capsules, but you can't use alts to cheese artifact XP to get a bunch of 200's for free. We're gonna look up in 2024 and a new player will be told that max stats is 1000 skill points and they need to have 25-30 200 artifacts to be optimal at each of their roles. DC doesn't have a catchup mechanic for artifacts nor skill points, the wider that gap gets, the worse it's going to be. Heading into Diablo territory where of course there's going to be a lot of bitching, especially when you start to alienate people that weren't alienated before.

[@untamedsab5497]

@@ObsidianChill Sidenote, got to thinking about why it was such a pain in the ass to level artifacts and realized that it was really only made easier during double artifact xp. And even though through the month you get artifact xp for the login rewards, I would assume most people save it for double. Which means you never get to rank up new artifacts meaningfully without $ throughout the year. It's more of playing catch up with double artifact xp. Do you think it would be possible to ask if they can do a double artifact xp day/weekend at the end of each month? or to make a token as like a 25 day login reward that doubles your artifact xp for a given time period like a renown booster?

[@shawnanderson3062]

The answer is simple. Remove the 12 second effect when the artifact is removed from a slot. You only get effects benefits from the 3 slotted at any time. You can still swap, but you cant benefit from 6+ artifact at same time, just 3. Just my opinion. thanks and haveagood1

[@blackroyaltymgmt5195]

Obsidian states that a 4th slot would create balance issues, but how is that any different when you're artifact swapping anyway?? Im all for the 4th artifact slot.. There is no real evidence of his claim that it'll create an imbalance issue with the game when artifact swapping is ESSENTIALLY the same thing.. DEVS make 4th artifact slot PLEASE! ASAP!

[@ObsidianChill]

Locking artifact slots gives zero incentive for players to level more of the 41 artifacts available to them, DCUO would never intentionally impact one of their revenue streams. So if they add a 4th slot it we still would be able to swap arts and then players will have trans-strat-eog-scrap active 100% of the time and are free to do whatever other swaps they want

@@ObsidianChill again you have no evidence that it would HARM the game.. just mere speculation and therefore there is NO REAL reason to not have a 4th slot..

@@blackroyaltymgmt5195 Because players aren't going to accept that artifacts will have to be nerfed if a 4th slot is added because it will break content. Nor are they going to accept that content be designed with players having 4 artifacts because then the game literally becomes artifacts2win. You don't even need max arts to complete content, there are videos of players tanking elite with 0 artifacts. Art swapping is a choice, if you don't do it who cares. Adding a 4th slot fundamentally changes the game, even with the stats alone we will all see thousands of stats increase and 4-5% increases on top of that on stats even before you take the extra abilities into question

[@monkeyboy0197]

Fairest easiest solution. Give everyone a 4th slot and lock artifact swapping. Thing logically about it. Swapping players are technically using a minimum of 4 artifacts already, and most swappers are using 8 to 12 artifacts buffs at a time. While the rest of the community, non swappers or even new players are only using 3 artifacts total. @Obsidianchill how can you talk about balance when some players are using 3 artifacts at a time and others players are using 12 artifacts at a time? Balance means equal... How is a raid group of 8 non swappers having a combined 24 artifacts in the raid [3 artifacts per player] equal to a swapping raid group of 8 with a potentially over 50 active artifacts in the same raid? That's over double not balance. I know all swappers don't swap 12 artifacts, but the good dps swappers are swapping 5 to 6 total for prec and 8 to 9 total for might. While everyone else is using only 3. The normal raid groups of non swappers will improve and do better with 4 artifacts slots, but it still won't be easy, while the artifact swapping raid groups will STRUGGLE being locked with 4 artifacts because they can only dps with 4 artifacts now instead of like 8. Not to mention your precious troll isn't buffing the group with 12 artifacts... The swapping groups will struggle when the dps is using only 4 instead of 8 to 12. Balance means everyone uses the same number of artifacts. not some people use 3 artifacts, some people use 5 artifacts, some people use 8 artifacts, some people use 12 artifacts.. Wether its 3 or 4 slots total is besides the point!!! And that wont affect the balance at all, as long as everyone is using the same amount of artifacts. What affects the balance already and why dcuo is toxic is because most people using 3 artifacts while others are using 12.

[@johnnythegunner1965]

I agree. no way a 4th slot is more unbalanced than swapping. most swap players would lose massive damage when not using double to triple the artifacts as everyone else. where as the increase from 3 to 4 slots will be minimal. especially when compared to people using 12 artifacts

[@dcuozeus7066]

I dont think art swapping is what the devs have wanted the gameplay to be like Its unbalanced and gives many players an unfair advantage simply for playing on a certain platform I think the best outcome is to keep arts from being swapped during combat just like your loadout is so that its more skillful on when and where you should be using certain art builds the gameplay is clunky and doesnt feel smooth when you are literally looking at your inventory more than the actually game and for that reason i think it isnt something the devs really wanted

Knowing the mentality behind the way this game has been maintained for the past 11 years, I can predict what is going to happen if this continues to become a big issue. They will add a 4th artifact slot and then lock them while you're in combat or have an effect/buff active. This game feeds on the people who take the time to get really good at it and showcase those skills, but it lives by the casual players who want to be able to just walk through content day one.

To me, it should be limited in combat.. not locked, just not constantly doable during a fight, like armories, there's a longer cooldown during combat but it's doable.. this keeps it as an option but tempers it..

Put a forth slot thats not active and have a hot key like left on the D-pad for example and when your in combat rather the going into inventory you hit left it swaps art's hit it again to swap back would make it 100x better and you wouldn't need to worry about extra stats because 4th slot is just for swapping

[@odinofasgard]

1: If you can do it on one game system and pretty much can't on another game system, that's a bad situation to create. 2: Clearly, this was not intended. I don't care one bit what the devs say about it now, but artifact swapping was not planned. 3: Games should be fun. Swapping is not fun. Inventory manipulation shouldn't be part of combat. 4: The longer this continues, the more artifact swapping will become expected. That's not good for the vast majority of people. 5: The idea that you don't have to do it if you don't want to is only true until they start tuning the difficulty around artifact swapping. And quite honestly, I suspect that's already begun. If it wasn't, the "elite players" wouldn't need to artifact swap to complete content. And that means, it's not longer optional.

[@ObsidianChill]

They can't tune content around artifacts because then the game would expect players to have multiple 200 arts which isn't right and shouldn't be that pay2win. Artifact swapping is something extra a player can do, similar to clipping, it allows players to take full advantage of the items they've leveled instead of having 15 useless artifacts in their inventory. How could the devs release 41 artifacts and expect players not to change multiple of them due to having just 3 slots. That is just a wasted investment at that point. If they eliminate swapping and lock inventory than I would as well as other players would have 100% every right to demand refunds for the use loss of money, xp and catalysts that went into artifacts we wouldn't ever use again. That is not only bad PR for them but also a dangerous precedent to set

[@odinofasgard]

@@ObsidianChill They've released more than 3 Allies, so how could they not expect you to Ally Swap? They've released more than 4 pets, so how could they not expect you to Pet Swap? They've released more than 4 Orbitals, so how could they not expect you to Orbital Swap? The exact same thing happens with every system in this game. Artifacts are the only area in which this is allowed. You can't use an Orbital, swap to a different one, and immediately use that Orbital. I sympathize with you have a dozen Artifacts fully leveled. But, no one forced you to do that. Content did not force you to do that in order to complete it. But, we're moving toward the point that Artifact Swapping will become expected or even required to complete the hardest content. So, while no one forced you to level a dozen Artifacts, (you) may very well be forcing everyone else to Artifact Swap to keep up in the future. If that doesn't happen, go ahead and Artifact Swap all you want. I just don't like the potential negative ramifications.

[@ObsidianChill]

@@odinofasgard Players do ally swap, there are plenty of moments in raids where you have enough time to swap allies. You can't do it in the middle of combat as fast as artifacts sure, but it is still done. The pets and orbitals is a silly analogy. They are they same item, sharing the same cooldown. You aren't swapping orbitals you are swapping styles between them. That is like saying you are able to swap a scrap of the soul cloak artifact with another scrap of the soul cloak, which you can't even do because you can't have duplicate artifacts, unlike pets and orbitals.

The problem isn't artifact swapping it's the issue of that the DC community doesn't know how to operate on personal option it becomes a meta that gets pushed in to or forced onto people and regardless of how good of a player they may be they get punished for not doing the meta and that's the issue.

Not to mention that 1 person swapping arts is going to double maybe even triple the other dps that don't swap, and the "non swappers" get called trash and 7 other people now think they are trash at dps, when the swapper was just trying really hard, i know 1st hand as i didn't have good arts a few months ago when i came back. @ObsidianChillDCUO, do you try random groups alot when running elite content? cause "LF EOG(role)" is very common on LFG. I have actually found myself telling leaguemates to start doing it with EOG just becuase its too strong to not do it. I'm kinda on the fence overall though cause if people wanna work that hard and hit 65 buttons in 30 secs then thats how they wanna play, but the gap between swapping and not swapping is to big to not have anything done, just don't know what.

If the developers can create a way for us to swap arts without going into our inventory I’d be cool with it. As it is now, it’s hard to watch during stream.

That's an impressive arts swap, but from south america with 300+ ping to las vegas....is a no go.

Yea I agree the only reason this shit exists is because way back in the games creation they even decided to make the controller role something no mmos for the most part ever had it was a made up role in its use case and you can see they ran out of ideas for it so they doubled down on this “buff” aspect when artifacts came out and I believe it was to try and bridge a gap in the roles uselessness in solo duo and alert content because before this controllers were a much weaker dps and that’s it. I think this is toxic but I would but the blame it on the shitty management of the role and game over the years not the players trying to find a way to make a useless role useful.

[@duvarekdji5488]

As an avid user of swapping, I am against artifact swapping. It's more common than you think and it is has become a requirement for elite content and its not just for controllers but dps aswell. On the dps side you can double or even triple your numbers compared to someone with the same power and loadout within the same time. And if your roles are also swapping with greens and buffs then your group is basically speed hacking. I say and stick by this because I went into the E raid to demonstrate what I meant as electric. I took his load out and all I did was art swap. Long story short it was enough to discourage him from playing. I haven't seen him on dc since and he now plays BDO during the times he's normally on DC. What's messed up is he has like 8 200 artifacts and just walked away like it was nothing. This proved to me that it was wrong and many others would probably do the same if they knew just how big a gap it was. It probably didn't help that I and the other's in the group talked a bunch of shit on how shitty his dps was without swapping afterwards lol but even with the apology it wasn't enough. He says the fact that he's been playing so long and was doing the best in which his gameplay allowed and still got blown out like that wasn't fun or even believable. Now, swapping weapons and trinkets is fine because with weapons, it's not like your going from hitting 100k's to 200k's for 12 seconds when you swap its more like single target to Aoe damage or vice versa and trinkets is the same manner. However with artifacts, you gain benefits that transcends dcuo itself 🤣 🤣 🤣 I think imma go back gadgets prec 😆

Not being rude, but art swapping honestly don't matter lol. 1) The majority of players don't do it & don't care to do it. 2) no content in the game is balanced around it so it will NEVER be a mandatory thing for players 3) the players who are doing it (ARE ON YOUR TEAM) which gives you the benefit in content. So again it REALLY doesn't matter & nobody should care to have the devs waste their time trying to figure out how to change this when they can spend that time giving us quality content.

[@Top-Lip]

I used to spend years PvPing for fun in DS3 so artifact swapping isn't a new concept for me, I don't hate it and its not like trinket swapping hasnt been a thing since home turf either. In that game I'm used to juggling between over 6 weapons minimum regardless of what build i play, very fast while a human opponent is being aggressive, so understandably I can do it quite fast and efficiently on test server too for this game, transferable skills I guess. But I gotta say, arti swapping isn't really much of a skill gap in the first place, all you are doing really is opening inventory and pressing one button, and from a dps perspective, I actually think its quite a dumb meta. Trolls are practically playing inventory elite these days, probably don't even get to see the boss fights or mechanics anymore 😂 Theres some skill involved in taking certain artis off and then swapping them back on and maintaining uptime, but its primarily a credit card gap issue. I'd hate a 4th slot though, there's too many artis in the game which means we got way too many variables to balance and the devs are responsible for letting it get out of hand. Maybe the way to solve this is to give artifacts a tier system similar to the allies, so certain swap ins are much easier to level than the staple ones of a build. I wouldn't say take arti swapping out, its an extra layer to the gameplay but the approach needs to be making certain swap in artis more obtainable so everyone can do it, rather than it being a pay to win mechanic that only stands to benefit whales. Theres no reason why every arti in the game needs to go up to rank 200 either, its obnoxious when there are 41 of them and more to come in the future, and I'd prefer have a meta intrinsic to what you already have available in your powerset that revolves around clipping than a meta that revolves around a stupid amount of supplementary damage from equippable items that are mainly maxed with credit cards 🤐. It doesn't need to be removed, the artis themselves need adjustments, thats my take.
