DCUO: What Content is Missing Part 1

[@kare880]

I strongly believe that its open world content. In the cities metropolis and gotham. You have 0 reason to go to those cities once you hit 30 which is a shame.

[@IntenseEffectDripVegetaXV2]

Well at 30 they have slight missions there but after that it’s nothing but they have different versions of metropolis and Gotham liked doomed death metal Gotham

[@gaiali453]

I've always loved flying around Gotham looking for investigations and briefings. Its peaceful. Would be nice to have other reasons to go to Gotham.

[@magusxxx]

[@Rudarrus]

Blackest Day and Blackest Night were also fairly decent raids and good mechanics, new content just doesn’t feel like the developers are trying as hard or going into depth as much

[@Theblobmma]

I think they need to add more to the open world, add a doomsday in metropolis that’s almost unkillable that moves around the city and kills anyone it sees, it’ll make you think twice about where you go in the city, same for Gotham add red death or something

[@ZeeDahktah]

Doomsday smashing Boh bums would be amazing…lol

[@shawnanderson3062]

You are so right about nexus dlcs replayability. The different boss combo's made it the best. Doesn't even need to be hero/Villian type. Just a couple combinations . Even the 12 artifact RNG with different buffs was a cheap easy way to make each run interesting. Listen up DEVS thanks and haveagood1

[@Lacerated1DJ3]

Agree 100%, as a new player I don't feel like there is much replayability in most of the content. Both Gotham and Metropolis has so much untapped potential.I look for videos showing stuff before I run it sometimes but most of the time there is no challenge to it. I have begun making videos on stuff I cannot find but there is not really enough updated guides other than your channel. Thank you for your coverage! Love it

[@claudiabcarvalho]

I wish we had new feats and missions for old content. When I had to play those for double Source Marks week, I couldn't help having ideas for new feats. I also miss the variety for open world missions. In the older episodes, each npc have more than 1 mission to offer, and there were lots of things to do. Dakota was a missed opportunity for them to brings those back - it's a huge world, lots of enemies and only 6 missions, which makes me think of how poorly they reward exploration nowadays. When the new episode arrived, the first thing I did was fly around to get familiar with the city, because the game itself was like: "take this mission, complete it and then come back for your reward, I don't care". In Metropolis and Gotham, every open world mission we have is in order to get us familiar with those cities. Why is Dakota so big? We can't even live there, and there's so little for us to do.

[@hrishikeshleo1346]

Ppl tend to forget mmos are all about open world content. Wow is well known for having massive quest lines and story arcs instead of just raids/dungeons. But today, dcuo is hyper focused on raids while falling short on plot of the episode. You feel immersed in these other mmos but playing dcuo is just a chore, that’s why I’ve honestly given up on playing. I’ll prob watch vids or play sm but I’m lowkey done with dcuo

[@ZeeDahktah]

Half or more of the pop still can’t figure out the basic mechanics we have. Lol

[@Heartscarrs]

Right why make it harder on the casual ones. And I'm not even speaking on me just everything needs to be difficult but not take long and no dumb extra mechanics to have more fail groups form.

[@Caddmuss]

I’m an off-on player and came back to allies? I have a general understanding, but uhhhhh, it was a very basic tutorial.

[@ColorHarmonixEnthusiast]

I would agree with lack of pve based content that’s replay-able in the old world zones. Gotham is so sadly ignored same with anything joker related. I literally only go here for events or exo farming. This is essentially the one and only super hero / villain mmo. I do hope daybreak does a realm reborn with dcuo. I would think they would just make a new game all together at this stage though 🤷🏻‍♂️ pvp is dead and capsules are a p2w sp lock. Some very abhorrent practices going on in this game even still.

[@MaxPayne212]

Ultimate Soldier raid is another good example.

[@DCUOMultiverse]

Origin Crisis was a League killer. If there was one time I was worried DCUO would die.... it was with Origin Crisis. I get that Elite players who want everything to always be more difficult loved it..... but most people did not... and we lost a LOT of players with OC.... heck we lost entire Leagues with OC. I seem to recall Spytle saying that they would never do something like OC ever again. Although... Spytle has been long gone... and we have a new crop of Devs now..... so odds are the Devs will repeat the mistakes of the past. :( I guess we shall see. ;) In theory... it is nice to have a different experience depending on how you run the mission.... sdly more players will zero in on the fastest way to play the mission... and pretty much ignore the other ways to run the content.

[@ObsidianChill]

Origin Crisis could work better in todays format with event/regular. Since all the mechanics are already in place with a raid like that you just have to tone down the damage. When its your only option you are right it forces the playerbase to need to get better just to complete normal content because they either get better or quit and skip the episode.

[@Heartscarrs]

Right! I believe simplicity is best not everyone wants to take 35min-2hrs in a raid I remember OC days it was so bad we had to cget in glitch groups..don't even get me started on paradox wave...even in good leagues you run into too much bs to be locked in a raid that long but I think they should make what he is saying about raids as a separate category from more content and elite. As something for an extra mile..for those players almost like SM.

[@MauriceM_R]

Smaller league halls with open world areas that the league has access to. The open world area can have bounties, missions, etc that the league can do together each week and maybe some stuff requires 2 groups of 8 (16 people). It encourage league play and unity. Neverwinter has this concept. Maybe the league hall can be replaced with a members base. The league leader gets to chose a member base and the league hall amenities shift over to that base. Current league halls are too big and have a deserted feel to it.

[@claudiabcarvalho]

They can't get rid of the League Halls because of the Halls of Power episodes. If only we could choose where to place the amenities! I hate how things are so far away from each other and there's no reason for people to visit the hall besides the league bank. They need to choose if the game is player focused (House of Legends), faction focused (Watchtower/Hall of Doom) or league focused (League Halls).

[@MauriceM_R]

@@claudiabcarvalho we can still have Halls of Power episodes. It would be like any other alert or raid. It would just be a made up League Hall that’s doesn’t really belong to any real league.

[@oman4229]

I'm going have to say while replay ability is important DC should never go back to randomized content feats like nexus artifact feat at the (end) of the raid. Stuff like that was more annoying than anything else. Bringing exploration back into the game which is the entire beginning of the game that hooked everyone in the 1st place is a huge thing that needs to come back.

[@oman4229]

Halls of Hades was the best concept for a raid & THAT should be the formula

[@VitalDcuo]

Dcuo was so beautiful before artifacts

[@Kingdom_Comics]

Origins was my favorite episode so far. As far as feats thats the most i have in an episodes.

[@dumbnamemala]

even if the content doesn’t have replay ability they could at least give us variety in our abilities that arent tied to meta changing artifacts and allies. there’s barely any importance regarding skill points or load outs which are staples of the game. seeing old footage of paradox and nexus and watching your character do clips and use abilities that are tied to your weapon makes me wish there was anything else other than these robotic might and slow precision rotations. if they arent gonna add a new power at least make powers more interesting or lower the influence of artifacts

[@Heartscarrs]

There is a big difference between not having sp and arts and having them. Is supposed to out damage/ run my role better than most because of the sp arts and years of experience. And I believe like in other games you feel rewarded for the grind and you will stand out I out dpsed ppl even before the 200 arts that were more geared higher sp and art it's all about getting better at dcuo in this game to beat the odds.

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

They really need to, especially as time goes on eventually to the point where if you don't have a group.set it will be hard to impossible to queue on anything but the current activities. It is already going that way.

[@SHMEGAF]

Agreed. Nowadys A-The S Squad mechanic is nearly pointless lore wise as it's the same content more or less, B-The difficulty is just poorly balanced. You either get too easy content or you get irritating crap that just makes the run tedious, Such as the Pride Bounty. Nobody likes fighting her SOLELY because of her running around the whole time mixed with being pulled into the fire twisters from way too far away. The current elite duo is good, But it too has this issue in parts. Turtle Dove is a beginners nightmare. But aside from potentially getting pinned up to her by npcs (bodyguards, etc). It's more Daboom and Ebon that are issues. Daboom can be just tiring due to his shield mechanic. But the real issue is his random stomp attack that if you don't have a heal option ready for, You will just die to without any easy way to avoid it. Which is artificial difficulty, Rather than real difficulty like with Turtle Dove as you can block all her attacks aside from the feather rain. Ebon is so close to being right. He's tough but has tells....except for when he traps you with the mash square attack at the worst time. It takes the ability to do anything about it away from the player. I do miss content with cool mechanics that were legit challenges. Sure. For every Paradox Wave we have a Blackest Night or Clocktower. Where the difficulty was fine to a degree. But the mechanics involved hindered the experience. I mean. Who likes having to sit and wait for ages before being allowed to fight Nekron? Or being stupidly blown off in New Genesis. I like Terrarium to a degree due to it being genuinely tough. But with mechanics that are far less likely to ruin the run. Personally, I think a raid where the bosses are randomized is always a good way to add some replayability. Ace Chemicals being one of my favorite alerts because it is different every single time. With the challenge not being so broken you wanna tear your' hair out. Nor too easy to where you fall asleep playing it. I kinda want a dlc set in Smallville. Have it be restored from after the Doomsday fiasco. Maybe make it Superboy or Powergirl focused to some extent as they don't get a ton of screen time overall even compared to Supergirl arguably. Have one side be either Zod Non and Ursa or Lexcorp as the villain side of the map and the Superman family, maybe with some STAR labs as the hero side and have it be something original story wise. I know that can be tough. But it'd make for interesting content. and either way. Smallville is underutilized in the game by a long shot.

4-5 dlcs a year should be the standard, honestly. There’s no reason we should keep playing same dlc for 6 months at a time. The other important thing dc needs is a true membership. Many people no longer subscribe to membership because as a premium player you get same exact things. You can’t trade money and you don’t get the “cool” thing on the 21st day of dailies but those things aren’t even important.

I know some people have said it, but I'm going to say it as well... A big thing missing is pvp... A big part of dc for a lot of players including myself as pvp. You had entire leagues based on pvp. Hell we even had Friday night legends hosted by DC. I understand they don't want to invest into pvp because " it doesn't make them money". But eventually dc has to realize that while it might not make them money right away it will make money in the long term. It would be something that would keep players invested while we wait for a new dlc. You talk about in the video " You get max gear, and feats well what now".. Well back then you would pvp with those max skill points and gear. Pretty much every MMO WoW, neverwinter, ( pretty sure even Final fantasy) has some form of pvp. It's needed in an MMO. What's the point of getting this max gear and skill points if you have nothing to use it on.
