DCUO Forums

[Bad Aim]

You can ban me from the DCUO forums for telling people that PVP is broken, that spending money on DCUO (or any Daybreak game) is a bad idea, and that the server population is really to low to be able to find groups. But it doesn't erase the fact that what I said is true.

DCUO is dying a slow death. Your server population is low as compared to other games. You keep releasing new in game items that need to be upgraded and the only real way to do that is by spending real money. Then the item you try to upgrade has a chance of breaking, forcing the player to spend more money to keep up!

This is worse than loot boxes! This is loot boxes that may contain nothing! On top of that, you have actual loot boxes!

To those that have read this post, beware. DCUO is a money trap. The game is genuinely fun but once you get to a certain point Daybreak has made sure that you can either spend a LOT of real world money for what could be an empty box or you can grind for literally months to get the gear that might just break on you, effectively erasing the grind.

Then to top that off, when you do release new content (and to their credit, they are still actively working on this game) all that work you did or money you spent is basically gone down the drain. You will see people rocking the same thing you spent weeks and money getting, but they got it off a new drop in the recent release.

They reward the players who have spent money and time to be one of the best by a slap in the face.

Define "pretty packed". I have been playing the game off and on since it came out. I can clearly remember that the server was so packed that when you went into certain sections of the game it would get really clippy.

I think the largest group I have seen recently was in the JLA Watchtower. And even then I never experienced any choppiness. While I did not count how many people I saw I would guess it was maybe 30 or so. When you compare that to other games of the same age or older, it becomes rather pathetic.

Also, look at these forums. It's pretty much dead. Go to the STO forums and take a look. The Steam STO forums are very active and STO is an older game! That right there should be a clue.

About the population, maybe its the times you log in. I am on the european servers, always seems to be people on when I am. Only time have issues finding groups for older dungeons, but then I can understand why, a lot of games have issues getting groups for older dungeons. (even wow)

Not had an issue getting groups for newer content.

Perhaps join a guild, then you can arrange runs frequently.

Also I have only ever bought a 1 month sub to unlock character slots, powers and bank slots, remove cash limit etc I think it was £5. Totally fine, not spent anything else since, certainly I have had more than my money's worth.

Also I make sure to repair my gear.....so that it wont break on me.

To be fair I am not bothered about having the most powerful character, I still get into dungeons and can hold my own, granted I am often one of the lower scoring players but that is fine, I still have fun.

Oh and I never pvp. So it could well be broken. Pve seems fine.

If you want to be one of the most powerful players, then perhaps you do indeed need to pay a lot, I have no idea as I do not play the game like that.

Actually no the can't they can only ban you if you violate any terms of service DCUO is protected under article 20 even though it is not a "social media" and they have to follow the same rules of as any social media platform for these protections.
And the reason they use these protections is for in game chat so if someone is bullied and they do nothing about it and it causes death in the real world via suicide or other then daybreakers is not liable.
