This company is basically saying screw all the long time and even new loyal players who have spent hundreds if not thousands trying to support the game in order to see a DCUO2. Lesson here folks? DONT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY ANYMORE.
So they're keeping DCUO on life support and that's it.
The game is going to die it’s over
@@kidink-_3782I believe it will die too
Its been on life support for 5 years
How do yall feel about "Shock to the System?"

“Not gonna remaster DCUO, we stepped away from that idea”
Biggest overlooked quote imo
Icing on a cake for a dying game
Been commenting about this in previous videos, but noone noticed. I understand dropping the lotro hd remaster, Amazon is gonna do a next-gen lotro after all, but dcuo being the strongest amongst all of their PC mmos more than justifies a visual upgrade imo. Unless there is a dcuo 2 in the works, then a remaster wouldn't make much sense ofc, but if there aren't any plans for a worthy successor, then dcuo has earned the right to a major next-gen upgrade for PS5 and series X.
It makes sense. The DC isn't in the best spot. The movies weren't good and good movies would have gotten more people to the game.
@@SilentCyberMonks have you seen DCUO 2???
Just my opinion, but one thing businesses in general need to stop doing is comparing revenue to the pandemic years. You cannot compare the normal everyday revenue to the pandemic revenue because everything is based on extremes with a pandemic. People were literaly shut in and i personally saw alot of players i hadnt seen in years come back to the game during that time. Naturally once normalcy kicks in and people can go on vacations and go out to do other things the revenue is going to drastically decrease. Also anyone smart in business 101 knows you have to spend money to make money so of course if they make no major investments as they say of course the state of the game and revenue is going to decline. Truth is DC is one of the highest costing mmos to play especially considering the state of what they put out. If you are a true endgame player to be at your max its expensive.
Everything you said is true. 👍
True indeed
The sad thing is you actually shouldn’t need to spend anything outside of maybe a subscription. It is possible to get everything you need without spending a ton of money on the game. But the lack of new player influx and player base in general means you almost have to spend money to catch up to everyone. Because nobody is creating characters organically anymore. It wouldn’t surprise me if the vast majority of new toons aren’t actually new players
Exactly. Movie theaters have shifted around what they call a success and what they call a failure after the pandemic, members during that time can’t and shouldn’t be used as a way to compare numbers before and after pandemic
@Stizzfoshizz That's true to a degree, but when I talked about money, I was meaning in the true endgame sense of being able to compete with other endgame players. The truth is if you rely solely on the resources the game provides without spending a certain amount of money you will have a hard time keeping up with other players simply because they have better gear, artifacts, and allies than you do. I'm not saying this is true for everybody but for the majority it is. You can be a skilled player but going up against someone who is as skilled as you with access to better gear because they spent money you simply can't compete as well. It will take you a very long time to max out if you only rely on in game resources. And also when I say expensive I mean in regards to other games as well.
Also, that "playing safe" strategy those execs have undermines the potential of every art, including games. People want to play DCUO, but they don't stay because the game lacks investment to make people stay, so they won't invest in the game. It doesn't make any sense.
Exactly.
SAY IT LOUDER
Olha uma tuga 😂
so the game does good enough to stay afloat, but not good enough to invest in
The DC IP is not to hot right now with the movies all tanking and almost all of the DC TV shows have been cancelled. I believe EG7 doesn't plan to do anything with DC right now, but it is still a valuable IP. DCUO is also the highest earner for Daybreak. If James Gunn's new DCU is very successful, I believe EG7 will jump on the bandwagon and starting marketing and investing in the game again.
So the gold spam bots and the speed hackers are going to continue to run wild, I'm assuming it would take a major investment to deal with those. 🤔
Those issues aren’t game breaking anyway. If you in a group with a speedhacker simply leave or stay and beat raids in a minute. Up to you
One thing you don't mention that ties to the downward trend in revenue is the absence of a creative director since World of Flashpoint. I personally think Nerd of Prey needed to move on, but not replacing her was a huge mistake. DCUO needs someone who can tell when ideas and characters have worn out their welcome ( fighting possessed superheroes, The Batman Who Laughs spring to mind.) Since Flashpoint, it feels like the episodes are simultaneously overwritten and insufficiently thought through. That gets really old really fast. When you're only releasing content twice a year, that's fatal. I'm willing to play an Amazon Fury III, an Age of Justice, or even War of the Light II for six months, but that's not what we're getting.
DCUO used to be extremely popular, stable, and had constant amazing content but then the Dev's stopped caring, got lazy, greedy or just gave up, Stat clamp nerf, but this game died from them not the players
It was a game unique for its time. I remember showing my friends the super speed videos when the game first came out for dc but now when I show it then they laugh 😂 because it’s outdated
@Ecool27 sadly I truly believe the game could be saved and become all time profitable if they would do 3 things and stick to it.
1.) Either remove the damn Stat clamp nerf all together/or make it an option under New tab where every piece of content could be qued into to go back and earn your feats/skill points without being nerfed.
You can run it to complete your feats you are missing and just not get the marks or loot.
2.) Graphic update to next gen
3.) Return to creating actually fresh and amazing DLC's with 2 or 3 raids per dlc 3-4 times a year.
4.) Bring back 8 man Survival mode
5.) Bring back customer support call centers
This game would be revitalized and run another 12 years or more
@@jerryreed9163 honestly I think unless they revamp the game to modernize it, it will eventually fade but have its small following. Only thing keeping it alive is that there is no other game like it’s combat system or style creation. If marvel mmo similar to this would come out in a few years with the similar combat system and style creation 10/10 would kill dc. So DC is lucky in that aspect
In a few months, I'll figure out if it's time to hang it up for good. 😢 met some great friends from this game. I've been playing dcuo since 2013. Makes me sad just knowing the end will eventually come. Roll the dice and give them my money or not to? 😢😢
Lmao. And all of that costs millions and millions of dollars. Not to mention an already small dev team, would not be able to handle all that. The game is on a downspiral because people don't stick around to play. Nothing they can do will fix. The day of the MMORPG is over.
DCUO needs to go to another company this is ridiculous.
I’m not understanding why you don’t want to invest in a game that you know good and well has the potential to be better game if it got the upgrades it needed like you have the data there right in front of you with proof .. DC cost a lot and if it got the right upgrades it would be a better game
The only reason this game still someway alive is because no one and absolutely no one tries to make a legit mmo superhero game with better mechanics, graphics and art. im telling you, let rocksteady make an mmo super hero game and within 2 years dc is forgoten
Why y’all suprised we been telling you bots dc been dead for the longest but y’all kept being in denial. Been dead since revamp overall in 2018
You have a weird understanding of what dead means in a game.
@@nothinghereligma3363 no, I’ve been playing since this game came out. This game died revamp and did again shortly after. The fact you think dis game isn’t dead shows you’re delusional
@@nothinghereligma3363 I’ve literally been an top tier elite player for years so Ik everyone that’s top and everything else that comes with it. I came back to dc like last year and made my way at the top shortly. And NOW the best of the best players quitting especially after EoG nerf. Coded kills best dps in dc for years, and he quit…..which speaks volumes.
@@kungfootmaster the only one whose delusional is you fool. The game isn’t dead there are still players playing. Like I said, you have a weird understanding of what dead means lol 😂
@@kungfootmaster lmfao is that what you’re basing your opinion on??? Sigh well you have that right, freedom of speech. But that doesn’t make it a fact. Thank you.
Damn so from what I’m seeing DCUO is declining hardly going upwards and its not pushing great content like EQ2. That’s been a problem with DCUO content drops players comeback..get full renown players leave rinse and repeat. Nothing really that keeps players to enjoy the game. Yes we get events but it’s boring always the same most players don’t care to come back for that! a revamp is needed! Love DCUO but without major refreshing changes…things will decline.
For a 12 year old game this should be good news. They are keeping money in the game, nothing is shutting down, there are still future plans and dev work.
Worst thing isn't what ppl are complaining about. Especially if you like the game. Worst thing would be trying to wring money from a stone and switching to over monetization, pay walls, and microtransactions. Maybe we won't get the game of our dreams, but if we like what we have odds are we can stay on the ride a lot longer.
Ppl are way too bitchy if I have to be the optimistic one.
Your comment comes off as “if we still remain loyal something good will come from it”
Contentment👍🏾
So they take the money that DCUO makes, put most of it in other games, release trash content on DCUO and are then surprised it doesn't make money. I guess the money from that failed attempt to make a Marvel game just disappeared.
If this game is on life support whats the point of them holding on too it.. lol
It doesn’t bother you that they said they’ll never remaster it?
It’s gonna look cheap forever I don’t think i can deal with it i was so expecting a remaster 😞🤦🏾♀️
You wanna bring in new players and have old ones return, fix fkn pvp and remove the stupid cr cap
The ceo highlights keeping players playing and I think fixing pvp would help keep ppl playing the game.
And this is why pvp was important, that was the heart of the game imo sure it give any money but kept loyal players at bay and we used to have a lot of fun with it
Pvp wasn't popular. Let pvp go. It was dcuo greed
@@mrwayne7900 bruh u beyond cap or u delusional. Pve made dcuo. Pvp didn't even make dcuo money. Even when it was paid to win it didn't make them money. Pve is and always more popular than pvp. Pvp died when orbit left anyways. Now u got a bunch of loud minority cry babies talking about pvp. Pvp been dead for over 6 years. Ppl left the game due to greed not pvp
I hated the new CR limit on all alerts. It takes half an hour to beat a duo which is supposed to be for CR60. I'm not wasting my hours for content that I've already finished but instead I have to pay extra effort to finish it now, it doesn't make sense. That's why I don't even bother playing alerts anymore.
So DCUO is on life support, meaning it’s on the way out. They’ll do the bare minimum to ensure it continues to bring in revenue but will not invest anything more. Expect then to cut corners here and there to save capital. So if more staff begins to leave, don’t expect them to hire a replacement, most likely they’ll just push those responsibilities onto another staff member. So as a player, it really doesn’t make sense to continue spending on this game. If you’re holding on for nostalgia’s sake, going FTP is enough.
thx aloooot for this type of video , its a very good method to see whats the future of a game ! well done !!
Wouldn't it make sense to try and go back to quarterly releases, to increase revenues and keep players. Instead of the recent twice a year. AS the data shows, as new DLC come out, players come back and invest.
It makes perfect sense I wish they would do quarterly. Once we max out there is really not much to do and that leads to bored people at little bohemia being an annoyance. DC has so much potential and they are squandering it
Good video. ty.
IMHO, remember the Jim Lee concept art from launch? After Back from the Hack and Megaserver, SOE and/or DBG made all the character assets and maps the game will ever need. It's been on auto pilot ever since. Enter Jack and his Time Capsules because what else can he do. Creative director has only been maintained for the eyes of stock shareholders. EG7 acquisition, cut out Exec pay, add Save the Universe content (ironically named), and slow walk any hint of maintenance mode. Game was built for PS3... Nobody wants to remake it, or wrangle a new DC IP license for a 2.0 game. They made a tool for textures on characters and added a layer for auras in the past many years. Then partially updated the UI (after 12 years. hooray!). Each company sat on a bubble expecting the game not to last (because the company was seeking to be acquired), but the game has persisted. All the characters on my lists in game have a _# at the end of the name. Allies?! Emotes?! Artifacts?! Icon above boss to tell when to counter via lunge?! /facepalm. Took a 5 year break after Time Capsules arrived (2016). Taste tested it again after pandemic began with all the changes... smells moldy and has sprinkles on it. I foolishly got a year sub when i returned. Never again, will i spend a dime in this game.
Very interesting, Very interesting. Backs up what expected. Thanks for the breakdown.
I'm in the between area for dcuo I'm sum what a OG 2013 of November and spend money sum times I'll look at other games as well
Thats what happens when they keep making dumb decidions after dumb decisions with just dropping tcs and specially putting stats clamping on the older content
"DC Universe Online is volatile", yes I understand that it's customer base fluctuates given it's "casual" playerbase that's "not sticky" but it still made more money than all of those other titles. He goes on to state that DCUO alongside Planet Side were the most negatively impacted but yet, DCUO still makes more money than all of those other games and the IP itself is more valuable than all of those titles put together. He must get out dpsed in raids to be putting some much effort into spinning DCUO out to be what the numbers say it's not.
For EG7, DCUO is likely losing money or break-even ... they don't own the DC IP, Warner does, and they have to pay Warner a fee annually to operate DCUO. While the DC IP is lightyears more relevant than the other games, the other games like Everquest, are infinitely more profitable for EG7, today, than DCUO.
@@gmoney546 That makes way more sense now, thank you for the clarification. In short, paying WB for the DC Comics IP prevents DCUO from being worthwhile in terms of investment and return on investment.
It goes to show the content that is released, isn't strong enough to retain a consistent player base. The lack of player feedback consideration, quality of life updates and genuine new content (instead of reused assets) isn't going to incentivise newer players to stick around.
Exactly and they will stick to this schedule for 2024 its stupid asf.
I wouldn’t care about recycling maps if they were filling the game with more content. Like if they’d give us 2 duos 2/3 alerts and 2-3 raids each dlc. It’s just such a bland set up. I could log in on a weekly reset and be done the open world content and on duty content within a 30-45 minute time frame.
If they dont start bringing new powers more people will leave i bet most of everyone already played as all powers by now and want something fresh and new
Never happening
MMORPG with a non-existent PvP community because they killed it back in 2017 with Stats Revamp, cash grab artifacts, allies, random loot boxes (TCs) that got feats attached to them, didn't address multiple dupping glitches, Time Capsule exploit/glitch ruined the economy, episodes with reused and bellow average content twice a year because devs are new and got no knowledge about the old tech used to support it. It's impressive this game is still running, to be honest.
GG it’s all over
The downward trend is highly disconcerting. But if the game finally does die, then so be it. S.O.E. did virtually nothing to market this game in the years leading up to its launch, which all but doomed it to fail almost immediately. I remember when the free-to-play announcement was made back in 2011. The game transitioned into the microtransaction/pay-to-win system that it has been ever since and because of that- to this day- all I ever see in either LFG or trade chat is one person after another complaining. And complaining about this aspect of the game (or almost any other, for that matter) on the forums always grabs the attention of neckbeards who refuse to accept any type of criticism of the game whatsoever. So it's not like THAT'S a legitimate venue to address concerns about DCUO with Daybreak. The only thing they care about is the bottom line, yet they refuse to actually invest real money in the game, which will be its ultimate downfall. More's the pity.
Bro can we get some supercharge rebalance like since eog got nerfed all damage supercharge need to be 5k wtf we going to do with 10k sc
Real
Adapt loser
Definitely!!!!!! Like big gun- for munitions and earth- entomb best SC in the game. While SC like strafing run for HL is Ass or I can go on like mental has no high dmg SC. I was just talking about this.. im literally going back munitions bc every other power is Ass in comparison
Y’all worried about this when some powersets supercharges are super weak to be considered 5k’s or 10k’s. At this point those supercharges need to be turned into actual abilities instead of supercharges.
@@HiHi-yk1mvyup, like the Celestial SCs.... 🥴
ngl its hard to want to log on knowing that while dc is they money maker they have no plans to do anything to revamp it or have a focus on it.
niccas basically said enjoy these time caps, we gonna keep you on life support and milk you while we work on Ever Quest.
Ahh that makes sense ever quest is fun, dcuo has a lot of work to do, there is so many game mechanics that needs to be worked on, all from more weapon combos to old powers adding combos and the like, I can keep on going for a while but here is hoping
People didn't pay for graphics, they paid for artifacts. Besides, there's plenty of content, devs can put out. Plus the foundation of the game, itself, is great for a several year old game, and it's free.
There is no content. Just dungeons and small missions that take a minute to complete is not content. Expand the level cap higher and give us more story/leveling stuff. That was fun.
Game play not a problem just bring new episodes and new powers not hard it should be fine 👌
Won't be any new powers devs lack numbers and motivation and the small very small big mouths on the forums shoot down any new power topics
Bringing new powers and episodes would definitely bring in players, maybe not new, but old existing players
Don’t need new powers, what we need is updated powersets with continuously adding new moves to each powerset, weapon supercharges? I mean damn all the possibilities at their disposal yet they continue to do nothing.
It's over dvc will be gone by the end of 2025
Sad, no change in dcuo till 2030 ((
You think removing CR Skips and Replay Badges may be help the game? You can get full elite gear and all feats for a new DLC within 3-4 weeks with a good league if everyone has resets. But, then again, Replay Badges may be their biggest moneymaker lol
There are SO many things DCUO can make yo become one of the greathes Games in PS but Replay badges destroy everything good idea.. also the speed hackers
“If you have a good league.”
Sorry dude, but there are a lot of players out there, and very few of those people belong to a good league. Leagues are dying left and right. Players bounce from team to team like gypsies wandering the countryside
@@BathroomDad lol there's plenty of good leagues. Most of them 100% the DLC's after 2-3 weeks, then go play other stuff 'til the next DLC release.
Obsidian in regards to the Graph, when did stats clamp happen again?
A few years ago. The chart in the video isn’t from Stats clamp. Nice try though.
“Nice try though” a$$h0le comment
If James Gunn does a good job with DCU, that should bring more people to DCUO, and maybe that changes their mind. But there's a bunch of ifs involved, so I won't have my hopes high.
Lmao no
Mcu was at peak during endgame and yet the avengers game flopped, movie success has little correlation with game popularity
@@Ecool27Exactly
The game was failing when BvS and WW and Justice League came out.
I think more people would keep playing if all powers can play all roles give us 4 skills for each role so everyone can play what power they want i play electric but i would love to tank i hate healing
I knew this was true but im glad its coming from the horses mouth. DCUO was literally saved due to the lockdown policies cause it forced ppl to go online for an entire year giving them the chance to see higher player participation but guess what its now resetting back to where it was pre-lockdown. The current issue is very simple, they're hyperfocused on cosmetics and emotes to please a small minority that doesn't even invest in their game and the forum/discord defenders that are die hard defending devs every action. Because like it or not this is a P2W game and ppl know this, thats why the game has no players except for the few that like using their wallet to beat content. THeres a reason why hackers in this game exist too
This is a fact also the lockdown is over and people are not home playing the game like that.
The core issue with teh game being "casual" is that people MIGHT go through the leveling experience, they might even get to current content, but then you hit a wall and you want to continue progressing, and artifacts would be an ok vehicle for that but investing in them as a player doesn't actually add value for the player, if breakthroughs were account level they'd sell many multiples of the nth metal than they do now but I'm gonna level with you... just the thought of having to go through the steps of getting stacks of the 3 different widgets you need for the breakthrough and the seal of definitely-level-up to get past the korean mmo style honing and then having to do that 3 times minimum, and then maybe wanting to play an alt and having to do that all again even if its the same artifacts is just silly.
Same with style unlocks and achievement unlocks. Like they could come up with a number of dollars to just automatically unlock that on all your alts, anybody with any acumen in excel and a some very basic sql knowledge could come up with that number.
Those are all things that would provide players with value beyond honing some artifact or augment or omni-equipment, just the fact that they could sit down and in an afternoon remove an entire level of anxiety from the game and likely make more money than they are now doing it and grow their player base, but choose not to is just... blech.
I like the game, it does get a bit monotonous after a while because of the aforementioned lack of alt-friendliness and the fact that your combo isn't going to change and the content is not dynamic. But yea, for 12 straight years they've focused on making the game very character centric and its prevented them from delivering fun and value to the player.
If style and graphics is the main thing DCUO is missing, I don’t see the game going away for another 10 years. (Since, let’s face it, that’s what the most fuss is about). Graphics is the easiest fix out of all the problems.
As a return player, every move i step feels like ask me to pay $$$$$, in the end i back to eso. At least style are account wide.
but they sure don’t having a problem investing in money transactions when they want the money out our wallets no problem trying to do that smh
DCUO has been the cash cow for Daybreak ever since TCs were introduced. The problem is they are milking the cow far more than they are feeding it. We've had only 2 DLCs in the last year(ish) and the DCUO DLCs are extremely light on content as-is and ridiculously grindy. With that model, OF COURSE players aren't very sticky. Look at something like ESO where they generally do a full-blown expansion each year with a couple of DLCs sprinkled in.
Everquest usually does a full-blown expansion each year, their server pop is roughly similar to DCUOs even though EQ is over a decade older. EQ's player base is far more "sticky" because that annual full-blown expansion means there's usually far more content for players to go through than what DC is normally putting out (especially in a year like 2023 where we've had only 2 DLCs from DCUO).
What the word from EG7 comes across to me as is that they see potential in EQ, H1Z1, etc. Along with this, they don't see any potential in DCUO other than whale-servicing so there's no reason (in their view) to invest in anything which could draw more players in/back and make them more sticky.
One thing about DCUO is you can't buy your way into making your character strong unless you wanna spend HUNDREDS of dollars 😄 also ive been a memeber for bout a year, really dont see a big difference in gameplay
So, you can still buy your way to success this game is too easy. Power-sets are also unbalanced.
@HiHi-yk1mv the power sets are confusing for beginners I wasted ALOT time (months) figuring them out
I was really counting on the remaster if anything 🤦🏾♀️
so as long as its making money fine BUT if it dies it dies
Teso, neverwinter, new world are much better than eq. It's strange, that's they want to compete with this game. Although dcuo is unique than all others mmo
So are we officially getting a ps5 upgrade in December?
All indication points to yes, either December or Q1 of 2024
Graphics update but in no way shape or form is an improvement because in an article, some guy (ceo or manager or whatever) said they don’t want a pay-to-win. Just because there’s going to be an Xbox and ps5 upgrade doesn’t mean it’s gonna be better on it. They still have to think about their switch customers.
We the community are tired of paying just to have a newbie with less skill points be as relevant as a player who been playing grinding and spending for in game strength to get nerfed so bad its why daybreak pockets are feeling it way to go family
I partially agree with what he said, elfquest fans probably are stickyer... literally...
Totally off topic , just my opinion , but something I would hope one day is , if we could access all armories during open world and mission content , especially if you have more than 4
Soooo what does the chart show.. it shows dcuo at its top be like 2000 on the left side.. but 10000 on the right side.. there seems to be no numerical value on how much the game is actually making.
Game just has minimal features for people to do. After endgame, what is there to do in the game besides weekly, grinding skill points, raids and 4-man instances. Dailies are not worth the effort in my opinion. We all know, people grind on gear when DLC comes out for couple of weeks to a month then move away from the game. It's like going to theme park like six-flags and all they have just roller coasters.
Yup its a dying lost cause
So I have been having trouble finding Dark Knights Catalyst for some time and was wondering if you know where to go to buy some in the game besides the store?
If they revamp pvp in DCUO it can easily make even more money. Then cast pvp events between new episodes and after seasonals. It would keep people going.
Thats not happening. It wont be worth it because it wouldn't bring massive player numbers
Question is Atomic a good power to get or no lol I don’t have a lot of skill points
No
Where's teekl?
we want teekl!
@@Wolf.Vision was my bad I didn't change the title from the previous template
Ha got'em😆
How and why is pvp broken? I remember when everyone played and then DCUO just started ignoring that side of the game. Was it a Jackster decision? They used to do more to promote the game under Jens.
The ran out of developers that understood how PvP worked and started releasing updates that kept destroying balance in pvp to the point where they stopped caring and openly said pvp is not a focus moving forward. They even stopped LPVE too. Something happened to their license as they also stopped releasing any new Legends characters
Dc whales aint enough huh
Was there a video made for explaining the transformation card artifact?
ua-cam.com/video/02N06q7sXTM/v-deo.htmlsi=-G4iHrUxS9Ec1vop&t=219
It's very clear, they don't want to grow this game, they said as much, they will support it till it dies and work on a bunch of flops. GG. Even tried to downplay the games success because its available on multiple platforms.
One takeaway they should’ve taken from this is the fact we need less time between DLCs. If they was dropping DLCs every 3 months people would play more because they would most likely jump in between DLCs. But since we play same stuff for 6 months no one wants to go to old maps and raids every Thursday, I definitely don’t . If shock to the system dropped tomorrow and 3 months from now we got that new JLD one I would gladly run tte and all that stuff after doing the new DLC runs. But since I’ve been doing tte and mtce for 6 months I’m not going back to it once JLD is out Thursday
Your statement doesn’t matter. This game is beyond worse and not repairable. Time to wrap it up and leave.
You realize they need more devs for that to happen right? Devs been leaving for a reason
@@woIfson obviously. I meant it as in if they fund the game more they’ll see more increased gameplay
This is so highly arguable and not even on point. Let's count, shall we...S.O.B.A., Shock to the System, and JLD2...has all dropped this year alone. This is the normal rate of DLC releases since 2018, when DCUO decided to change from every 6 months to every 3 months and have been consistent with that endeavor. Where do you people come from that feel the need to twist other people's words around? Just take a seat and hush.
10/5/2023, 4/20/2023, 11/3/2022. 3 latest DLC drop dates. I don’t know what calendar you own but I’m failing to see how those 3 DLCs are part of the same year, 2023, as you’ve said. Then again I feel like English isn’t your first language because I’m also failing to see how I’ve twisted chills words. I gave my opinion as to why a lot of people don’t return to previous raids/alerts unless they drop something special
Seems the ceo is highlighting dcs sporadic retention of players on dc. Too many ups and downs for them to invest heavily in almost like bad stock that constantly is going up and down that ppl are warned to stay away from. The problem is their other games are doing a good job keep players playing while dc has surges and isn’t consistent. Ppl only come back to play new content or when an event happens so if you are spending 6 months of no new content, to the ceo the game isn’t producing as well as it should
That makes absolutely no sense. DCUOs decline there but it is still significantly better than their other game they have. Maybe if they would actually support it the player retention would go up
Seems like they know die hard DCUO fans will accept whatever they put out
Seems the ceo is more worried about keeping players playing dc has too many ups and downs and doesn’t maintain steadiness. It’s actually taught when you learn about stocks the best stocks to invest in are stocks that maintain steady growth and don’t go up and go down and then go up and down. Basically what dcuo has been doing.
So no graphics update 😞
Yea i dont think dcuo is lasting 10 more years💀
Gotta be real ig, this game been out for a while 🤷🏽♂️ not as popular? Who knows they said what they said
Looks like I'm done with dcuo. I haven't played in months, but I was holding out hope for a true graphics upgrade, meaning a new engine, and he just confirmed it's not ever gonna happen. What kind of graphics upgrade could they do without upgrading the engine? It's still running on a ps3 engine smh The engine has it's limits it will never look good enough on UE3 Everyone, please just quit and force an upgrade or let it die so someone else will make a new superhero game with todays graphics already.
DCUO is a DEAD GAME, and this video shows that off perfectly. What you're looking at with this presentation is a WHALE EXPLOITATION BUSINESS MODEL. That's all that's left in DCUO. There are NO 'new players' coming to the game that are worth anything and they admit it in this video so...where you think they're getting the money to justify keeping DCUO servers on?
WHALES. YOUR ARTIFACTS THAT'S WHERE.
The WHOLE GAME revolves around the money being funneled into 'artifacts'. From Nth metal detectors to 'seals', the whole game comes down to how much money a player spends on those artifacts. Without that, the game dies and there's no reason to keep the servers going. That's why those artifacts are so strong and completely unbalanced, breaking the core gameplay of the game. Daybreak were the ones that did this, breaking the game so that they could stay afloat. Artifacts SHOULD have been LOCKED to ROLES, not open to everyone, and shouldn't have been that powerful. Most, if not all of them, should be toned to down to allow the powers of the players to be stronger, but because the game is so dead, they buffed the artifacts so that they're completely over powered to entice players to spend on DC.
You can't play DCUO without dumping a few hundred dollars into to it, showing how dirty of a game it ALWAYS has been. The game should be dead by now, that's really the best thing for it. As it stands, right now, the game is a pay to win pile of shit full of content that's way, way too grindy for no reason what so ever. Poor graphics and even worse gameplay, most of the moves don't even work. Taunts and de-taunting have been broken for YEARS, with content purposefully ignoring those mechanics to pretend something's difficult. No invisibility because they could never figure out how to properly balance it and gave up years ago so the game just pretends it doesn't exist. Defense being a switch that the developers turn off when they want to make something 'hard' instead of actually designing an interesting boss fight. That's everywhere since no one at Dimensional Ink knows how to design and build a proper interesting boss.
The games junk and has been for the better part of a decade. If you weren't around when I was, back when the game first dropped after the Sony hack, then you never experienced the best DCUO had to offer. That was when it was the absolute peak. No artifacts, no allies, nothing else to mess with your power set, just your powers and gear and skills. That was pretty much the first year and that was when it had the highest player count. Also, that was the ONLY time PVP was being looked at and balanced.
The only reason this game exists is to exploit WHALES out of their cash. That's the saddest thing in gaming. Let it die.
lol DC is more casual
well, who's fault is that? they got rid of PVP hahahaha
they're not even trying to be something else hahaha
Lowkey removing a second aspect of your game definitely would contribute to that. If all ppl have to do is Pve and they finish that what’s next? They log out and get on another game, they don’t stay for pvp stuff or even make attempts to try to learn it
No more money dc
I played this game solely for pvp and when they trashed it I insta uninstalled
Lol 😂so they regretting to fully invest in dcuo to get more revenue
I'm going to find another mmo
Bye Felicia👋
Yup, don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Try ESO it’s the only other MmO I play besides dcuo
@@nothinghereligma3363 and there r sale atm
This games needs to shut down and I need my money back
can i get my refund like 7k ffs 😐
Yeah of course a game with PS2 graphics won't have much retention for new players or old ones because it looks like a joke in 2023
Welp
So you saying we have to spend more money for the health of the game to get nothing as reward 👍 At this point let this game die peacefully and stop giving money to DCUO, helping players from EverQuest for example get better content. Enough is enough they have the most income from us and they still want this game to be closed.
they need to just shut down the servers already lmfao
Just turn off the server save ya money EG7 😂
First
Dcuo is dying because they ain't listening to the community. For him to sit there and seems to be ok with dcuo failing because EverQuest is doing good is fn ridiculous. If the rention is low shouldn't you start getting into the business of the devs and start letting them know that if the downfall keeps happening they will be dropped from the company meaning they will lose their funding. Like they still don't have a creative director and other positions aren't filled. Like you spent all this money to acquire this company and you choose to ignore the game that is on multiple platforms if you can revive it imagine the money that would flow. You ain't helping the retention problem by saying we ain't putting our focus on it to make it better. I think im officially done with dcuo i already stopped playing for 4 years now i dont even care to hear any updates on the game cause i finally got the answer to the lingering question of is this game ever going to get better and the answer is no because they refuse to apply pressure on the company and they refuse to put the necessary money to make the game how the community wants it. People been wanted the game to be remastered due to next gen consoles are out, people been wanted the mechanics for pvp to be fixed and now i realize dcuo as whole can't afford to make the change unless the parent company gives them the money and man power to do it which aint happening. Rip to a game that could of been great. Ill probably care again if the company that owns warframe some hows buys dcuo because they was able to keep Warframe going strong throughout all these years.
Lmao sad ahh game its dead asf
I hope this game burns
And cut out the bs emotes. Give us better gears no bulky looking garbage take a look at your own game see who runs around with bulky armor. Give us good shyt. U taking our money and giving us crap. I bought 1 piece of gear and by the next 3 days I have to pay 350 replay badges for the same freaking gear for another character that's a ripoff
Pretty soon there going to drown
Good news here...🪖👍🏾
