I think that it is fine to have them beat the game before being able to use it as it can cause trouble for the bigger stuff like raids imo, because some people don't know how to play and tries to play there but this was not too good this year. It should have added the feats at least.
@KingHumbuger Perhaps I would agree if this was not a large downgrade from every other free CR skip we have been given, missing artifact items, stat points and exobytes. If they really are downgrading the CR skip so drastically because they want players to level a character to 30, they could make it an account qualifier rather than the character of choice as most players are long time players, not new. If trouble in raids is an issue, not giving the exobytes, stat points and artifact items they used to give causes the character to run raids with nothing but CR, which in my opinion is more annoying then potential newer players as this effects everyone who collected. Newer players can be taught, missing items would have to be paid for.
I dont play this like at all anymore, but my cousin was talking about the cr skip the other day, so I automatically went to view videos on it, and I'm glad I did. Gotta be lvl 30 to access it. I'd understand if you have a lvl 30 on the account already to access it. No exobyte or artifacts!? Oh, they need to send this one back.
@PurplexFlex0316 I am glad the character selection screen CR skip hasn't also down graded, but it does seem to have increased in price. This one definitely, send it back 😁👍
the fact that they referred to this as a gear box and not an actual cr skip, i think has something to do with how they just gave us skips a few months ago before the latest dlc dropped. I wasn't sure they were gonna give us a skip. I'm waiting for the next dlc to see if they are getting rid of skips altogether, hopefully not.
Im a fairly new player and the thing that irks me the most is the need to spend so many replay badges across characters to unlock styles. Not to mention that material skins when acquired are only for that character. Im a free to play account so I dont know if the sub accounts have this problem too.
I was left disappointed. Normally we get artifacts , the augments, the 70 plus skill points . They gave us less. I love this game but this was a big letdown…
I quit this game like 5 years ago and every now and then I look into it because I desperately want to come back. But I can't condone the predatory market practices. They've been money grubby for a long long time and this is just another example. The time capsules are when I really started taking note of how money hungry the devs had become. That stuff is truly sickening.
@Wellens06 I have a FTP account and play the game there spending no $$ it is possible and still quite fun, but I understand, the monetisation of so much is quite off-putting 😔
I left for the same reason when auras first came out in game. Recently came back and it's WAY better than it used to be. 100% ftp by the way. Give it a go, you may be surprised.
@ThatGirlFromAU Nah, it was just a timeline reference. Right about the same time DCUO stopped PS3 support. I did get ripped off trying to trade the old exo stacks for auras tho, lol.
I've played since launch first on PS 3 then on PC. I've built 18 toons on the EU server and 6 on the US server, i bought the wolfpacks. I have spent more money on this than i want to admit. I made a lot of good friends who now don't play. I canceled my account month and i won't be buying it again.
@johnmcdonald219 I can relate to spending more money than I would like to admit on this game 🤫🤭 I am so glad you've made good friends and I really hope you enjoyed all your DC play. I completely understand cancelling the membership at this stage... it's just becoming so disappointing 😔💔
@edwuncleriii3798 Yes, it skips over that story when you use a CR skip from the Character Screen... that is the 425 CR rating one that is still inclusive. But, because this particular 420 box is only giving you an armor set and you have to level to 30 to open it... most of the storyline will likely be completed by the time its opened anyway... unless you run the new world content the moment you have access. Using that free armor 420 box did not remove my mentor storyline.
@edwuncleriii3798 Yes, it does, though this is dependent on how many you have already collected through gameplay. 😁👍 List of everything you receive: - One-time skip to CR 425 (This includes SP) - Free Artifact with enough Nth Metal, Catalysts, and seals to fortify it to rank 80 - 4 Golden Exobytes to fortify your Origin Augments to rank 372 - 85 Mark's of Legend
I don't like how you have to be a level 30 like just let us be any level to redeem it.. dumbest thing ever. And then they decrese the sale value for the cola recipe things you get from the episodes. Just when I was having hope for this game these devs take 5 steps backwards because the statues are also no longer tradable either... 🤦♀️
I don't know it seems to be a good way to keep new players from just skipping past the story missions that helps them learn the game but ibdo get that I was surprised that the CR skip was connected to the box of armor
@whazuesicefang5001 They could have it set so a player needs to have one character at level 30 to collect it, but permit a lower level character to use it. That ensures the player has played enough. 🤷♀️
Actually, it's not so bad, because when I skipped my Hero to over 300 CR, all of the main missions were automatically complete, so I didn't get to do any of them, I was hoping to complete them with my max power. So it's nice to reach level 30 first, to at least know that I earned it.
@jeannguyen3199 yeah but us players who already completed the story shouldn't have to replay. Whats the point of a cr skip if you are forced to play the story on that character. It has the word skip in it for a reason 💗
I assume the reason they only gave us a gear box was because of the new event rewards you get for grinding. It's possible they might have a full CR skip later in the year. They did have two last year. But yeah making it only useable at level thirty kind of defeats the purpose.
@BaithNa You know that for anniversary event they have been providing a CR skip as a free gift and this is a pale representation of what we used to receive right? Yet another decline in the quality these new devs are providing to us. Just after the daily login downgrade from full armour sets and the 21 day login unique item for members to now having random armour boxes and a resurgence capsule that we can receive just through gameplay. Whether it's meant to be used as some extra boost or not, my dissapointment comes from the fact, these things are declining in quality, quantity and value from what they once were and seeing a decline like this occur so rapidly is sad for me as this is my favorite game and these developers seem to make the majority of thier decisions based off of what will cost the least time and effort but also cause the player to pay more.
@Luna040-e4w I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or not 🤔 but... This CR box is a large decline from the free CR skips we used to receive... so I guess the best way to describe my current mood about DC is ambivalent 🤷♀️
@ThatGirlFromAU true. But like you said, the anniversary stuff is free, so I am at least this year OK with it. For next year, they have to fix their politics though.
At this point all they are doing is pushing players away from the game everyone I know who plays already quit the game and even a few dcuo UA-camrs have already quit as well because of the direction their going seems they only care about money more than their player base which is just sad I've been playing since the game came out in 2011 i do still enjoy playing the game with league mates it's just sad to see how much things changed because of the new devs who don't even communicate with us at all it's not the same game anymore like it used to be at least mepps talked to us ...

I like that you have to be at level thirty. I think too many new players nowadays feel like they don't have to work for it. That's not how DC universe was when first started and you should still have to work for it. In a way it's kind of a middle finger to new players who think that they're entitled to something they haven't earned. Do you know how long it took for us to just get to that combat rating. So yeah you guys didn't earn it like the rest of us that have been here since day one.
And the girl that's posted in this obviously hasn't been here since the beginning. They've given us plenty so don't sit there and feel like you're entitled too. If it makes you feel any better.I happily created a fresh character.Got to level thirty and then happily upgraded it. I love it for the extra inventory.I love it because I get to try another different power and it is what it is.
@ODynastyO-xu8tw I wouldn't mind if we needed to have a character at level 30 to collect, but the need of the character to be on level 30 to open the box seems unnecessary and like a downgrade from the previous CR skips we've received in the past. I have never said I've played since the beginning, I have been playing for around five years. I don't know how new you think I am, but I have many characters I levelled without a CR skip on multiple consoles. Yes I am aware of how long it took for people to level thier characters early on. I don't know what you expect people to do, travel back in time to play at release to earn whatever you think they need to earn 🤷♀️ I also never said I am entitled to anything, this simply seems very much like yet another money-seeking downgrade from the new developers...
