    I would argue that if the artifact has a cooldown timer and switching it reset said timer that's not working as intended. it's exploiting a system that the devs aren't able to correct just like any other exsploit people have come up with in the game previously

    • @ObsidianChill
      @ObsidianChill  Рік тому +1

      There is no loophole that is being exploited. How is it the players fault the devs create and release artifacts that they can't properly maintain? if that was the case then the artifacts themselves should have been scrapped and designs where there were no effects/cooldowns could be used. Look at the Lazarus Pit Water that mechanic was specifically designed and released where it was WELL KNOWN that the swap and ignore the effects. It was even plainly laid out on test server. Guess what, it was released to the public anyways with full knowledge. That isn't an exploit, that is working as intended.

      ​@Drathmor He deleted my post on how Dead King's Scepter can be swapped in out avoiding the cooldown and proc chance making it call down an orbital everytime you use a power cause it completely proves him wrong about there not being an exploit element to it. Also if they can lock trinkets out for cooldowns whether you swap them out and back in then they can do the same exact thing to artifacts they're just being lazy or really just don't care. It's not that they lack the ability or anything like that. My trinkets have effects on them and when I pop them and swap them out the cooldown persists so it's a load of crap. If art swapping allowed you to get the full effects of the artifact without leveling it you best believe it would be patched within hours to days. This problem doesn't cost them money if anything they make more money from it so they let it go. The devs said they got rid of clipping cause the skill gap and damage gap between players in the know and not in the know was too large well the same could be said about people who art swap and exploit cooldowns and proc chances vs. people who don't or aren't in the know.

      @@UtubeUser-xm9ty Didn't delete anything and nothing you've said proves shit lol. You swap out your pet and the cooldown persists because that's not an internal cooldown. Where does it say anywhere in the DKS description what the internal cooldown is or even if it says anything about having a cooldown? It doesn't the orbital assistance duration had to be discovered by players. So what is there to exploit if its not even a defined number associated with the artifact? Could/Should it be addressed? sure but referring to it as an exploit shows only how uneducated you are about the subject. Since artifacts were released HAS THERE BEEN ANY SINGLE ATTEMPT to adjust ANYTHING to do with swapping? no there hasn't. What is there to exploit then when its been the same for 5 years without any attempt to adjust it? that is called working as intended. The artifact has always worked the exact same since its release and its just players discovering new ways it can be used. Is that new way unbalanced? sure that's why its a BALANCE issue.

      ORRRRR dcuo could stop tryna make all their cash off of artifacts and make it to where players can do the Same amount of damage with just 3 certain artifacts, that way no one complains about having to take longer to complete instances and that way no one has to spend their entire raid inside the inventory slot. No one in this game wants to have to max out 5-6 artifacts (ON EVERY TOON THEY USE) just so they can run elite content. What about their support role? It would take 1-2 years to be able to max out 5-6 arts for the DPS role and then they’d have to start the grind all over just to get their support artifacts upgraded. Hate me all you want but not everyone can just drop $500-600 to get these artifacts upgraded.

    I'm just getting back into the game and honestly this whole Art Swapping thing seems very overwhelming and disappointing, but I do think I would embrace it if they made it easier to do it. I play on Xbox and at times just opening up the inventory lags a little bit and just art swapping in general on Xbox is slow. Not as intuitive as PC. So I hope that since Art Swapping is a thing now, and they won't change it just because I don't like it, that the devs will just embrace it. I saw a comment that mentioned making an Art Swap wheel like the emote one they have, and that sounds like a great idea. If it were that quick and easy to Art Swap, I would definitely do it.

    I fundamentally disagree with the concept that they intended for you to not leave Artifacts equipped when they're on cooldown. I've played plenty of games where there are once/minute types of procs. People don't switch during combat. It's not that the tech doesn't exist. It does. It's actually really simple to implement. Put everything on cooldown upon equipping. Or just don't allow equipment to be changed during combat. Either one is very simple and requires a fairly simple bit of coding.
    As to the question of why would you use the bad Artifacts, well that's kinda the problem. There's no reason for them to keep making crappy Artifacts.
    Of course none of this will happen. They want people to buy Artifacts. It's a huge revenue stream. So yes, it's "working as intended". But, it's not because it's good for the game. It's because it's good for taking our money.

    currently the only art swapping i do as my water dps main, is throwing on Lazerus when i think i'm going to die or need extra survivability.
    But imo, If art swapping is to remain. Perhaps they can simply allow you to store them like armories, But remove the combat limitations of armories. Allowing you to swap quickly on the fly. Maybe with a short cooldown, That or allow us to fuse 2 arts together to get both effects on one art and negate art swapping as it currently is, But basically allow up to 6 arts at one time as a replacement. Maybe even limiting which arts can be combined so as to maintain some balance. I mean if eog IS OP AND EXPLOITIVE DESPITE IT WORKING "AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED" (sorry about caps. Too lazy to fix. lol) But if that is the case. Then i'd say something that is highly centered for PC players due to the speed of using the inventory. Is also kinda OP too.
    Me, As a guy who doesn't care about the score. I care about winning as a team. I'd rather just have a workaround rather than an outright removal. I think my idea is probably the best compromise.
    After all. Opening the inventory mid battle is a great way to get killed.So a better option would be i think best

    Can you complete content without doing the swaps? The likely answer is yes. With that said this swapping is just about the scoreboard so of course anyone who does it well doesn’t see an issue with doing it. I’ve been a controller since quantum’s release. I’ve since switched to Tank because A) control role is basically useless unless you spend the majority of your playing time in your inventory swapping arts to appease a group. And B the game has gone down a road where they’ve developed the uselessness of the role. I chose not to participate in the role anymore after grinding for years to be good at the role. So instead of being a contributor to a successful group by debuffing Buffing and helping control mobs your a battery and a glory hole for DPS’s. Nah I’m good. I could take the swap or leave it. People are going to be SUPER upset either way.

    They didn’t even need to nerf EoG they just needed to get rid of art swapping in general. The ONLY reason people will defend keeping art swapping is because they dipped into their wallets and spent $200+ to get multiple 200 arts, so ofc they want to keep it.BUT It takes 6 months to max out ONE artifact as a free to play player, and that’s 6 months of GRINDING. do you think free to play players wanna spend 3-4 years to finally get 5-6 200 artifacts? Just to have to go and get another 3 for their specific power role? Dcuo needs to get rid of art swapping all together and buff what you can do with just 3. That way you can still beat instances just as fast but without having to have every single dps art at 200. Also having to switch to your inventory every 3-5 seconds IS NOT FUN. I miss the old dc when skill mattered, not the amount of money spent in the game.

To adjust art swapping would be to kill a giant revenue stream and there would be countless players demanding refunds for artifacts they would never use again, just like what happened with Venom Wrist Dispenser. The devs aren't going to try and navigate that minefield lol

If the devs wanted to clamp down on it though, I think it would be just as simple as putting a "hold button for 4 or 5 seconds to equip". Art swapping would still be available, but the rampantness of having some people run 8 or 10 arts in a single boss fight would be almost eliminated.

    The Artifacts should be locked in combat, plain, and simple.
    The reason theres "Drama" as you call it, isnt because some people cant use it, so they want it nerfed.
    The Artifacts as they are do in fact work as intended individually, yes. However the problem is, people are exploiting them with swapping arts.
    I knew you yourself are really into art swapping, hence the reason why youre so offended anytime the subject is brought up, and make a video about it to demonstrate your biased pov, since you do it, and you dont want your exploiting arts to be removed from the game, but the change is long overdue.
    The fact of the matter is there was only ever meant to be 3 artifact slots per character, unless using differnt armories.
    You mentioned some artifacts are temporary, like for orbitals, and supply drops, unless youre using yhem for base stats, arguing that theyd be useless otherwise.
    They wouldnt, because in your own words, the artifact is working as intended, individually.
    The problem here is that people are exploiting the artifacts by rotating through they to increase thier performance, when were only supposed to have 3 slots. The devs have already mentioned theyre staying at rank 200, and that 3 is all were going to get when it went from 2, to 3.
    Besides that, it is creating more division like the clipping, and eog problems, where unless ppl are using those exploits theyll be kicked, and treated like crap because theyre not participating in that.
    Im genuinely curious why people in dcuo that do all this art swapping want to play the inventory simulation mini game during fights, like how is that even enjoyable? Youre literally opening and closing inventory every few seconds for what, to measure whos got the biggest damage. 😂😂
    Theres other ways to chase scoreboard if thats what youre after, that dont require exploiting the game.
    That is what i think, and apparently a pretty big part of the community too, since this keeps getting brought up.

    PC also has the advantage of possibly using Macros to switch (I’ve yet to see anyone ever admit to using these).
