As someone who remembers what this game was like 10 years ago, I absolutely despise seeing such a potentially amazing game in such a state.

[@SorcGaming]

I don't think the problems is only EoG but the way of artifact system was built. It's kinda disgusting that for you to actually be a decent player you have to have good artifacts on your role when those are revolving on a clearly pay to win system.

[@Shadow497]

You don't need them but they do help. I've seen tanks and healers with lvl 80 arts tank and heal TSWE perfectly fine. Mind you they did have over 400sp. I look at It as arts are the equalizer for those that have low sp. I've also seen players with 200 arts but they can't tank or heal a raid. plus you don't have to pay for arts you pay to rank them up faster. So not necessarily pay to win.

[@edwinbasa2804]

@@Shadow497 im guilty at this but i only heal on elite alert

[@SorcGaming]

@@Shadow497 it's a grinding long system build with a pay window, that insentivise people to spend money on them, I'm sure no one wants to wait 3 months to have 1 artifact max leveled. Plus yes you don't need them to clear content, that's not what I said. Im talking about to be decent or above, to compete to be a better tank or DPS it's actually impossible to be better if they have 200 artifacts and you don't. The game was build before to favour skill points (aka time spend and grinding the game) and skilled players that knew how to perfectly play the game. The moment they have loot box that have feats attached and artifacts/new side kicks with pay windows it only makes the game more pay to win. They been testing the waters for long time too see how much they could milk the players, replay badges first, after that nerf and buffs to get people to swap powers, after that loot box that have feat attached, artifacts that are an actually gameplay changer that will make your caracter better than others with pay windows. It's actually sad how they been destroying the game slowly imo, obviously everyone have their opinions but I can't stand how the game is and how the player base keep getting fed with spoons full of shit

[@Shadow497]

@@SorcGaming you should see all the people I've out DPS or out tanked with my 160 arts. The only benefit you get for paying for arts is getting them leveled up faster. Regardless how strong the art is if you aren't skilled you can be beaten by someone with less sp or lower arts. It sometimes even comes down to the power set.

[@Shadow497]

@@SorcGaming I have videos of myself out tanking where tanks with 200 arts have failed as we'll as I have videos of me out dpsing players with 200 arts against my 160s. So when you say people don't wait to rank up arts that's their choice. All my arts I've never spent a dime and I have them all at a decent level. You can get a few arts to 160 or even 200 if you know how to Play the game. And now they've made it easier you can literally get an art to 160 for free if you're a member.

The EOG is for players that don’t have a lot of SP to keep up with players in the game. It’s why DC built it that way. Same with pvp blues back then giving new players a fighting chance. I see OC’s argument but I gotta look at things from a casual or weaker players side. Arts was made for them.

i didn’t have Solar Amp for a long time because I felt like “why do I need some stupid iconic power to be good”. “Why can’t the abilities in my power set be just as strong” I thought and I still think that everyone doing that same blue beam is so boring to see when we all have such unique power sets with abilities we don’t use just because they suck. I do have it now because I was tired of seeing myself among the lowest damage. Why can’t I use the loadout I want with arts I want? If the meta is stronger why bother?

[@BadgerOff32]

To be honest, I don't really think this is that big of a problem. It's probably only a 'problem' in Elite circles, and even then it's a good problem to have, because surely you'll be doing more damage/healing etc in elite content, which is a good thing, right? The majority of the playerbase aren't going to be affected by this, or even *know* about it, because the majority of the playerbase aren't going to have this thing levelled up to 200! Only the sweatiest, most hardcore elitists are going to be invested enough to actually spend the money to level this thing up. The rest of us either won't be using it, or won't be getting the most out of it because it's not maxed out (you only get those 5% buffs at rank 200). Honestly, I think the game has bigger problems right now than one artifact overperforming at its highest rank (lack of devs, lack of content etc)

@@Joker-ik1sp There it is. There's the typical "lol u prolly suck noob" elitist mentality comment. Personally, I'd say that if you have to rely on that artifact in order to do high damage, it's probably you that actually sucks.

And I haven't had to spend hundreds of dollars to do it.

And an even bigger amount of the community doesn't even run elite. Yes a bigger issue in the game that effects 100% of all Players is the Dev team being Short staffed, content taking a decline in quality, recycling Older content ECT. Yes the community might be excited about SM coming back but the majority of the community doesn't play it. SM has become a filler and the community it so excited about it they fail to see it.

I agree it's not a major issue. And it only effects a small percentage of players like Chill. I've ran elite and regular content and I've used EOG and have seen others use EOG. Do I have an issue with it? No not at all. Does it do a lot of damage? Yes. But that's not a bad thing. It's only bad if you don't like the meta. But it's 100% not needed. Like you said a bigger issue is the content quality and a lack of Dev team. And even when we didn't have Devs leaving back to back we had half ass episodes with 1 raid ECT.

I know the best way to solve the problem. Here’s a suggestion, Devs need to make raids where everyone has to spread out. Raids like fgse, is a perfect example. Make all future elite raids where mechanics are based on spreading out. Many players will definitely want refunds if they nerf eog. Just change elite raids? Or make mechanics where players can’t stay in one place for example the hawk man boss in dwfe where players had to keep moving, there fore no eog spam. What you think?

Dont really see why this is a problem. The artifact was designed and put out as something that helped you team. I dont want it being changed after i have already paid to upgrade it based on the description. What i think is more toxic then the artifact is the current attitude of dps players. Who care as much about seeing their name high on the leader board as they do finishing the mission. Case and point try to get one of them to switch to healing when the healer goes down.. The game has plenty of content that prevents you from ständign together. If you dont want to use the eog then dont you will not see your name high on the leader board but what does that matter. you are hero and the mission is done. If you really care about toxicity take out the leader board like other games that are much less toxic. Just some thoughts from some one who has played dcuo since the game first game out on console.

[@garylastella3202]

Who cares that its meta? If you dont want to play eog then dont???? Lol if you have a proper group spamming eog procs then elite raids are finished in 15 minutes tops. If you want to be in there with sub par artifacts for 2 hours by all means go ahead. You dont have to play meta in order to play how you want to. The only reason people complain is because like he said he wants to be off from the group dpsing. Why tho???? Stay with the group and be able to pick up ppl, share drops and damage.

[@AnubisA.A]

IMO, I think it's a community fault, EOG might be a bit broken yes not too much but it needs an adjustment but the community is the one that makes it 100% needed. U can find so many ppl that can complete elite Raids with 0 arts not even 120, it might be longer but that doesn't mean u should kick ppl just because they aren't spending £200 on an art to do more dmg and get into elite stuff, I don't really get how killing everything so fast to the point that u don't even do mechanics sometimes is fun, I run with many leagues that focus on doing as much dmg as possible just to not go in so many mechanics phases. If u really think about it, it's the community that makes everything in good and bad category, don't use this it's bad don't do this, use this art, otherwise u arw bad and welcome to the toxic side. now ppl are not having fun because all of our load outs and arts are copy paste because otherwise we won't be allowed in 60% of the raids 🤦🏻‍♂️ if you ask me, it's those kind of ppl (that kicks a player because he doesn't have EOG) that needs a nerf not the artifact itself Lol

[@kharixd6345]

No, it’s not the community fault that the game is designed around arts and overall p2w features. You expect anyone to purposely put themselves through a lot more suffering in raids because they Inv a raid full of ppl that’s using non meta or even viable arts? No, any serious player regardless of what game you play will use what’s meta because if you don’t you can’t compete and the devs need to take accountability for making the game what it is today. The problem is that there are far too many ppl like you in this community who doesn’t know who holds responsibility for this game being what it is. As long as the devs continue to focus on capsules and booster bundles, DCUO will never be where it could be because those are the things they feel are most important for the game. This is coming straight from the devs btw. When they should be focusing on balancing the game and overall content. Not to mention the fact that they are extremely scared to make changes to arts unless they are buffing them. This is due to how expensive they are and it puts them in special position because the community will be pissed if they nerfed their favorite art that cost them $200. These problems are what the devs brought to themselves and to the game overall. Not to mention it’s nearly impossible to lvl art’s completely free unless you have 6+ months of logging in every day just to grind for xp with a booster. In conclusion stop saying the community is the problem and actually place responsibility on where it needs to be.

[@AnubisA.A]

@@kharixd6345 I still stick with what I said, I get where u coming from and that why I said EOG needs an adjustment not a nerf, also making a group to finish the content as quickly as possible isn't fun that means u are playing to be meta which means u will never have fun considering how constantly the meta changes. For the devs, they definitely need to balance so many things in the game but do u think they will stop making TC if ppl are already opening hundreds of them everyday? Hell no, they will drop more and more, so that brings us to the same problem again, it's the community that makes the game goes where its going, as long as dc keep getting money from ppl switching powers and lvling up arts and buying styles just to be meta, then they will never fix anything in the game. Conclusion: community should stop paying for these shit things so dc knows that they should stop it and focus on balancing power, if no one buys stuff from TC then they won't drop more of them that's what I think and ofc I might be wrong. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Always crying just play the game, most of the time people are separated you're acting as if people stand together and just run now there's a lot of movement especially in elite raids. Usually healers run gem spam not dps

I know “Elite” leagues that try to run elite + (Critical) content , but don’t use EOG because they consider it “Stealing dmg or Fake Dmg”. Some even say running the 2 cards and Grim it’s better than running EOG because they hit bigger parses on the sparring targets lol. So I don’t think most of the player base gets affected by this, let them fix this Atari looking azz game first then worry about stuff like arts later.

@@xz4409 Trust I was in a couple leagues that thought about EOG this way. I’m not trying to expose nobody, but in most cases where you not running with a selective group of people, you pop EOG and most people run TF out of that circle. That’s why I say this really can’t be considered “DCUO biggest problem” when there’s so many things wrong about this game, and most people don’t even worry about EOG like that. Elitist benefits from it, and Casuals might get butt hurt that a random “Elitist” player beat them for like 10mill in a random elite raid. But the reality is that all those players that run elite plus/Critical and beat it multiple times (not counting swe+ atm) know the benefits of EOG. If you one of those people that hasn’t encountered this then blessings to ya lol.

Nah, big L. I actually like having an art that encourages people to work as a team. Just like FGSe final boss they can make raids dangerous to be close to each other for. I would support a CD of the artifact though. Maybe 25 seconds or so. Off top I can't even think of any other team based artifacts. And you want them to get rid of the only one?

[@ObsidianChill]

there are plenty of team based artifacts, all the health buff ones are team based, clarion etc. That is what you call a positive team based artifacts where what we have with EoG is unlimited supercharges which makes content irrelevant and every bit of damage in the game overlapping which makes any damage check irrelevant. Why must the devs design content completely around trying to fix the effects of 1 single artifact instead of adjusting that 1 artifact. That is crazy to me

Go play elite + you don’t even run gems because gem procs kill the adds which will spawn more adds EOG is completely fine, of course if your playing easy raids your going to burn everything anyways, Me as a healer you always make it your priority to group up and stay close to the group , I’m sure forgotten treasures even know this

[@ObsidianChill]

elite+ is not the norm for content. It is closer to survival mode than actual content. Plus you are only referring to 1st and 2nd bosses in this regard because no one has even reached 3rd or last boss where you will have plenty of opportunities to gem spam because players will be in the same area more often.

[@IIIStrichcodeIII]

We're always tanking Theon and adds on the far right, with the group standing on the far left. If we'd use EoG, the adds wouldnt be affected. The reason you dont run EoG on Swe+ is because its not worth it due to the amount of dps, unless you tac swap it in of course. I wouldnt recommend tac swapping due to the amount of blocking mechanics, so theres that.

[@ObsidianChill]

that content is a walk in the park because you have regular elite runs with unlimited supercharge for the 4-5 dps in the group. With the extra rally it may not play as much a factor but if everything isn't melting from constant eog procs you have to survive longer and more mechanics will play out.

[@Robbo-x-]

@@Robbo-x- there are other changes that id accept too if this was too much. If EoG had an internal cooldown of 30s then at least it would stop the 3x sc back to back spam.

After so much abuse of eog spam, now you want the devs to fix it it, when you yourself and other players you ran with abused this meta. Now because everyone is doing it you 😠. Biggest hypocrite I have ever seen in this game. Why you didn’t make this video, a few years ago when the devs fixed eog and you wasn’t satisfied. I know why it’s because majority of the community knows about it now and you’re mad. Truth be told not too many knew about artifact swapping and eog spamming, in the past, mostly the elitist knew this and they would not share it with others, eventually overtime from videos and players figuring out stuff, many start doing this. Next thing I’ll hear you crying about dead king scepter. As an elitist I know that’s a next thing elite leagues do where the whole group swap dead king scepter, resulting a quick burn and less mechanic phases 🤦‍♂️. By the way you encouraged people to do this in the first place, your video on what artifact to level up, that video played a major role cause you talk about eog spam for healers and you suggested that artifact also.

[@ObsidianChill]

You mean like this video from 3 years ago?

[@lionheart1019]

I agree 100% I actually despise using eye of the gemini. Seems players like me who have been playing this game since the beginning are expected to preform at a cheap level, the fact of the matter is sustain builds with survivability and groups with pure role playing tend to enjoy playing without toxic elitist drama. Yeah pure role playing is the best even if it takes longer like pure power troll, the whole purpose is to provide power debuffing is extra! Debuff builds are selfish and never cut it, lantern power trolls can debuff and out power debuff builds 10 times over. With how power hungry healing is it seems people don't get it, damage dealers in troll role queing as a troll only debuffing produce half at most the damage as in dps role and produce close to no power literally bad at both damage and trolling its best the group doesn't continue to lazily use artifact swapping its just totally ridiculous. Every time i get invited to an 8 by a friend and I come in and there is a troll and i look at the stats he's preforming 30% of a dps and 0% troll forcing healers to improvise which decreased to total damage because the power troll is picking up the slack debuff builds are a waste of time buffing the group for 8700 might instead of 10-20mil power is baffling argument; Oh Debuff is better for damage and speed, lol that's your problem if you cant play patient you make mistakes like failing at your job. Other thing pure power trolling for a healer with page orb and purple ray is the intelligent path not forcing the healer to take off orb so the troll can debuff and get groups killed and cry about how bad the healers are its ridiculous pure role playing is always going to be the best even if players group up and play like you said just to complete the most difficult content. Players who continue using artifact swapping are only supporting the change into a dps hybrid game where everyone has half gear and roles don't even matter.
