Thank you for doing this video. I've been bitching about this system for weeks. Everything you said is right on. The closest thing I can get to a "positive" is the mod boxes can be traded across your account. So I've had alts crafting the 40.0 to 40.1 and sending those to my main. Even with that I'm only at 7/12 towards the feat.
By far THE Worst thing they've introduced. 2nd being boss spamming. Talk ab just wanting to lose players damn. So many other ways to do these come on devs
I chose to ignore crafting these mods a couple of weeks after the DLC came out. The time to grind all these mods will make a player burnout and possibly quit the game. At the end of the day it’s just another DCUO scam to make you play more and spend money on inventory slots.
The mods took me forever to get. Longer then the OP and elite gear. And it wasnt that much of a difference. But because they had a feat to it I went for it.
Agree with the overkill on needing catalysts (I am constantly buying those). Where I have saved on things is by only buying all of the green and blue plans. Since the boxes are unattuned and Purple/Top don't drop in regular, I just bought one of each type plan (support/health/offense) for purple and top. The unattuned boxes are account bound -- so I use a couple of alts to help with transferring those when I happen to play them. I have bought none off the vendor and I am up to 7/12 for the feat -- that is without hitting the alert or duo as regularly as I should or running any elite raids (the regular raids are only run once per week). While not a perfect system, I did find it intriguing -- that said, it does need some improvement in numbers of stuff needed...
MOD TIPS / PLAN HERE [1] Play FP content, Daily, Duo, Alert, Raids. Use main + alt toon/s to gather mods. [2] Main + Alt toons will need all plans from 40.1 - 40.2. You will only need to purchase 40.3 + 40.4 to your spec on your main. Alts will require 14 available inventory slot. [3] Upgraded mods must remain in the briefcase. Use shared bank to store and collect on main toon to upgrade past 40.3 As long as mods are in the briefcase you will be able to share back and forth. Its an opportunity to clean out your inventory and better your organisation skills. [ Create a video on this @Chill ]
Well that would be a dreadful experience doing it with one character 🙃 Well i guess this comment is for everyone with multiple toons. After all the advice I have used from your past videos this is the least I could do for your fan base.
Here are my thoughts. 1) I hate this system too but I hate being forced to bounty farm more. 2) you can trade boxes from other toons to speed up the process. 3) I suspect they will have a bonus week before next dlc where higher lvl mods will drop in content more often.
I agree Obsidian. I play a lot and only have 2 out of 5 40.3 mods to make my first might mod. It takes too much to make someone simple. I have to spend 5 10 25 and 50 just for one type. They really didnt think this through.
One positive - you can farm towards craft feat if you don't have already. (There's much easier ways of doing it though). Otherwise this doesn't need to happen again.
I came up with one positive about this system being in the next DLC. If it's like this again, I'll just slot whatever drops for me, sell the extras, and totally ignore the crafting system. This is a positive as it will cut that aspect of the progression system from my schedule and leave free time for other non-DCUO activities.
When i saw the generator mods system i thought "nice, i'll be able to give the mods to my alts". After making my first MOD....so many memories....dark ones. Good things: - Plans y crafted boxes are account bound (if you use alts, it helps...a bit) - I do not disagree with the currency cost - It helps with the craft items feat Bad thing: - the fact that you have to open the box to craft a new one, is annoying - i play as might dps and troller....here you have precision, resto & health...is that what you wanted right? What may help: - Allow to craft the next tier with the unopened box (my god that was painfull) - Tradeability, it will centainly open a new market to explore. - Just drop the box and choose, sell it or make a better one. - (Loooong shot) the generator mods should be generic, and allow you to choose the active stat you want in the armory, that will help a lot if u want to play as prec & might depending on the situation, or for example a fire TANK that may benefit more from having a few active as resto and others as dom.....i could continue but i think i made my point. So far i think the idea behind is great, but it needs to be polished, this reminded when i started working on webapps and the first one it ended in the producction enviroment worked nice, but it was asking for so many unnecesary info i could automatically get....so after a 2 iterations now we have a form that takes 1 minute to complete the usage. :D Cajaritotutututu - US PC/PS
To be fair you can put the mod boxes in your shared bank and that what I have done with 40.2 boxes for my alts I give them to my main. However when you consider the source marks cost and time it takes. Yes its COMPLETELY RIDICILOUS.
I agree with this video, it has gone into my Frac that pile of feats. For mods completely ridiculous. And using the .2 mods is fine for running content
There are 2 things in this system that made it less Hellish: The cache boxes are account-bound and you can choose which mod to pick. This made it easier if you have a lot of alts. But I hated this mod system for the extreme effort it took to get the smallest gain of stats temporarily. The worst thing? The WORST thing is I know they are going to cave someday and just give away these stupid gen mod feats just like they did before. I can't remember which DLC it was but it required other materials no longer in the game like Sporadium? or some nonsense.
I still say the general idea of using lower mod drops to crafts higher ones is a good idea. But it was a big fail on the devs part to do the math and think the entire process through and how feasible it is to the average player. One simple change that would have made a huge difference is to make the mod boxes that you craft also what you get as a drop so you can always choose one and not have to buy plans for all.
Bounty spams are a pain when you are new player because by the time you get to wonder verse and 31st everyone has moved on hell me and some friends have a hell of time getting low tier stuff to que now as high level players there is just alot that Dcuniverseonline needs to fix
You can trade the crafted boxes between characters on your account. So there's that I guess. But it's ridiculous finishing 12 mod feat diminished my soul
it may be a bit cumbersome, but what if they were to add a SEPARATE crafting inventory like other MMO's that has larger/infinite inventory space that ONLY certain items go into? that would at least solve the inventory space issue for all things crafting/artifacts/augments. and it'd be like the currency tab. Because this is ridiculous as far as both time and space and currency. I get that they want more play time but making things a miserable grind like this is absurd. I think the Starro OP item plus one more step or some weird solo mission like what you do to get the base part of an OP item. It's strange, DCUO does quite a bit right, but some other stuff is made way more complicated than it should be. It's like they want to burn the player trade economy more than it already has been.
I think they liked/preferred the 2 currency that we had with legion and wonderverse, and since so many complained about bounties, they gave us the worst system they could imagine so we would like bounty system mire
The vendor and R&D was updated so now you just need 5 of the 40.1 to make a 40.4. Where do I get 40.1 mods? The Fence vendor in FP Gotham didn’t have any plans to craft a 40.1.
Finished my main a couple weeks ago and it’s a grind for sure. Working on my alts now and while putting a don mod in my tank the game lagged on me and overwrote my other 40.4 😂. Dlc winding down guess I’ll be putting 40.3’s in. Been playing since 2012 and I was saying all of this the first day. No one wants to do this.
Also with this system there is no selling aspect. Like one buddy buy one plan and you buy one and you can sell or trade….which again is ridiculous, tedious, and all for a 50 point feat//
I understand why people are pissed. There were a lot of downsides to it. At the end of the day, it's a grind, and this is supposedly a mmo... So it's kind of the point. That said, if you have only one toon, good luck to you getting all the mods before the next episode :/ I have 14 end game rooms so had all 12 mods pretty quickly, and some of the alts have at least 4 now. Also finished 4 OP backs. So it's not that bad, but literally only if you have multiple alts to help out, time to spare, and don't need source marks for anything else. I doubt they'll do this again anyway.
I am fine with how the treat the OP item leveling now, everything is on the broker as well so if you want to pay to skip and save time you can do that or you can level it naturally. There was plenty of ways they could have made this current R&D system tolerable but for whatever reason they didn't.
I agree. There were plenty of ways they could have made it better for all. Even just making the mods account bound, and one plan for each category that you could craft with any of the mods from that category.
This was the worst decision. I still go back to do bounties in 31st, even Wonderverse. I will never revisit this Flashpoint. Even using my alts for this is too tedious and expensive, not to mention boring.
Chill bro when i first saw this when dlc came out i to say this sucks crafting it...cause me to inventory space is very tight cause im premium as well it sucks
Yeah, not a fan of this dlc's mod system. Some of the changes were positive... (i.e. making the op item a bit easier to get since we could purchase everything with marks). But the mod system really turned me off of this dlc. It just made the grind THAT much more painful. Marks have become so much more "valuable" that I haven't even gotten the elite gear for my support role. I've been a fan of this game for years, but this is the first time I haven't even wanted to get online to do dailies. If you buy everything from scratch for one .4 mod it takes 120 marks, and that's not even counting the Source Marks you need for cats or the marks it took to buy the plans. Painful. I could only muster up the will power get my 4 might mods done and that was it. Cruel and Unusual Punishment is correct... .
Yeah, I totally agree. This system is fucking awful! I can't even be bothered to engage in it! I've basically resigned myself to the fact that the best mods I'm gonna have in this episode is .1's. I just can't be arsed with the amount of grinding involved. Screw the feats, I can live without them. I much preferred the system in the last two DLCs = Just casually farm some bosses and I'd get them eventually. That was fine! But if you even MENTION bounty farming in the forums you get shouted down by the vocal minority who staunchly DO. NOT. WANT. BOUNTY. FARMING. EVER. AGAIN!!!! ....But, without the bounties, and without the secondary currency that came with it, we've lost good additions to the game like Elite weapon/neck/rings, farmable purple gear for lower alts, and a way to get these generator mods etc I feel like this DLC has taken so many steps backwards BECAUSE of those few people who shout the loudest. It's gone back to being so dull and repetitive that I've gone from playing nothing BUT DCUO, to playing anything ELSE! I just can't deal with the grindiness of the game right now and I'm quickly losing interest in it.
Why the price difference in catalyst for previous dlc (9950) and latest (2000) ? Premium players need to complete the feat before next dlc comes out or wont be able to buy catalyst anymore
The devs are pulling this shit because players continue to play this game... if a player count was to theoretically decline at a fast rate devs what start asking players what’s wrong with their game. DC is a cash cow and if it stops milking money devs are gonna start asking players how to get their milk back , and if players are smart they’ll ask to bring back the old dc.. the days when SOE owned dc the way DC used to be... fun hard mechanics, less tedious grinds, and less friggin time capsules
You tripping on that bounty part. I despise bounties. Also the it's too easy raid talk like cmon son. Too many ppl in the community say this and be getting washed in standard elite. Even ppl who be streaming. I will agree that the generator mod system is terrible and because we don't like it watch DCUO go ahead and do that in the future. That OP back piece is overly annoying as well stupid ass data matrix. 🙄🙄🙄 Let's not forget that your character has to be the minimum to buy that stuff in that DLC which is the biggest pain.
At least with bounties they give us weekends where its 2x or 3x and the marks are earned much easier/faster for the gen mods feats. Here we have no such advantage at all, that was the bounty point I was trying to make.
I don't get the system either! they should have just made us save marks and buy them instead of all this crafting and inventory space it seems like they did this to keep us busy because the new content wasn't really new and it's obviously that they don't really grind to complete feats like players do, they need to stop doing dumb things like this. All they do is deter old players from playing who are getting tired of stupid things like this
The goal of this system is that the users spend hundreds of marks hence they spend lots of replays or keep playing every day till the next dlc to get enough marks for 4 out of 12 mods for 1 stat so ur 12/12 50 feat point never sees the day of light...🤢🤮
The plans and mods aren't tradable, but the boxes you craft are at least account bound. You don't need every plan either. Just buy all the plans up to 40.2. After that everything will be converted to the 3 that you will be working on. This system is definitely super cumbersome, and is made even worse by an already terrible R&D system. It is also a big source mark sink. I really don't like this system, but people are done this feat just by running dailies, no replays or anything. It is literally a gimme feat for just doing your dailies
I dont mind them trying out new systems like this, and the R&D system should be getting some kind of use. I wouldnt call this a swing and a miss, more like a foul tip lol. They definitely should have revamped the R&D system as a whole before trying something like this though. And hopefully these mods last for longer than just this episode lol
You can get just one plan of each color for the .3 and .4 levels, and just choose that one when you open at .2 (although yeah if you want to use every single drop, you'll need em all) Still garbage.
@@ObsidianChill what about the poll that u did and electricity won that but i dont see a guide for that yet electricity should’ve been before or after mental at least but yea i understand those videos drain u
Even with triple marks the other week on 3 toons buying all the plans and catalyst with saved up stacks of mods, still 8/12 mods for the feat on 1 toon. Absolutely trash system
You think it's hard on PS4 try feat chasing on a dead switch server... Chill these people need your help. Dcuo players switch players need your help.. I know But a PS5 right...lol.. System set up to drain the last dollar out of a good game...
Imagine makingg a 20 minute video complaining that fails to point out the actual reason behind it. As long as DCUO players apparantly have no issue throwing hundreds of dollars at an episode, theyre goin to keep chopping up every aspect into longer and longer grinds to sell you the time savers. You all need to grow a spine and just stop playing until they get the hint.
People cry way too much. You don't HAVE to get the feat. If you want it, it's a grind. Play the game. People cried about bounties.... they fixed it, but they want to keep the MMO a grind obviously. People gotta stop contradicting themselves fr fr
when Artifacts was introduced... Players, Just dumping cash into ranking multiple Artifacts. DCUO is pay to win. Asking in general, where's this Rant Video? Cause it way over due. Versus this one. Respectfully.
I would of rather had bounties over this shit system tbh, this system is unacceptable to obtain 12 mods without paying and while working a full time job and getting sleep for each day
Thank you for doing this video. I've been bitching about this system for weeks. Everything you said is right on.

Costs a shit ton of source marks too. Some people might still need some arts up , old style feats , accessories..etc. huge L
That fact that it takes so much room in inventory!! Ugh!!
I first approached this with an open mind.
After getting the 12 mods feat I fully endorse any effort to ensure this system is short lived.
Yes, bountyverse WAS A LEAGUE KILLER!!! Especially when they did the SAME THING the next DLC.
Red Five what a shit DEV, ridiculous craft in this DLC, unreal.
Daybreak are criminal in their exploitation of us. Money machine. They crossed the fair play MMO line years ago.
This system was quite disappointing. It wouldn't have hurt to simply have those 40.4's in the vendor for marks. Just simple as that.
By far THE Worst thing they've introduced. 2nd being boss spamming. Talk ab just wanting to lose players damn. So many other ways to do these come on devs
Didn’t even bother with the Mods this DLC. Could see the ridiculousness from the start.

Worst modding system ever. Rather farm 100 bosses.
I finished all 12 mods and it was literal torture. SO many source marks for the catalysts. I was crying.
So you have to craft them from the blues to the purples?!? Yeah i wont be making them mods. To hell with them

Yeeeaaaaaah this is why I haven’t even began to mess with this it’s really stupid, too expensive and time consuming for nothing.
I absolutely love your videos, this is one of the many reasons why I don’t play this game anymore. Great video content tho, keep it coming
Here are my thoughts. 1) I hate this system too but I hate being forced to bounty farm more. 2) you can trade boxes from other toons to speed up the process. 3) I suspect they will have a bonus week before next dlc where higher lvl mods will drop in content more often.

About damn time
I farmed with 2toons for plains and grinding with main toon for the drops and casino chips and it's a bit stress but it was done
I agree, I am not an elite player, so I will more than likely never have those feats, so your right, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
One positive thing is next DLC is close an we wont have to do these specific mods anymore as they will be obsolete (unless u want the feat of course)
Unless they’re dumb enough to use the same stupid system again!
It's a truly cruel amount of grind for VERY LITTLE stat reward. Only thing close is LPVE feats 750 for each hero family.
When i saw the generator mods system i thought "nice, i'll be able to give the mods to my alts".
After making my first MOD....so many memories....dark ones.
Good things:

What may help:

- Tradeability, it will centainly open a new market to explore.
- Just drop the box and choose, sell it or make a better one.
- (Loooong shot) the generator mods should be generic, and allow you to choose the active stat you want in the armory, that will help a lot if u want to play as prec & might depending on the situation, or for example a fire TANK that may benefit more from having a few active as resto and others as dom.....i could continue but i think i made my point.

Why this wasn’t addressed on test server!! I just refused to make any mods
Being able to sell or trade the modes would be very helpful i get so many of dom and resto that I have to just delete them

Same. Said f it

It’s still bs that after all these years there’s still a cap on the cash!!
The only “positive “ is that it sucks so bad, you will just put the drop mods in your slots and sell all the .1 and .0 for cash?
You're right that's messed up
Do they really make the game purposely harder? They say they don’t but then you get stuff like this
And what about those of us with a ton of alts?? Screwed.
yup
I got two .4 might mods already they only max out at 1275 if im not mistaking
Plans are account bound as are the mod boxes. Also you can sell mods not needed to vendor. Not a great system by any means.
The devs are pulling this shit because players continue to play this game... if a player count was to theoretically decline at a fast rate devs what start asking players what’s wrong with their game. DC is a cash cow and if it stops milking money devs are gonna start asking players how to get their milk back , and if players are smart they’ll ask to bring back the old dc.. the days when SOE owned dc the way DC used to be... fun hard mechanics, less tedious grinds, and less friggin time capsules
I have given up on these extra crazy sp feats...i just rock mod 2s or 3s..smh
Yeah this is absolutely stupid! Don’t understand why they would do this for generator mods!? Been disappointed in this dlc from the start.
Agree 100%
You tripping on that bounty part. I despise bounties.
Also the it's too easy raid talk like cmon son. Too many ppl in the community say this and be getting washed in standard elite. Even ppl who be streaming.
I will agree that the generator mod system is terrible and because we don't like it watch DCUO go ahead and do that in the future. That OP back piece is overly annoying as well stupid ass data matrix. 🙄🙄🙄
Let's not forget that your character has to be the minimum to buy that stuff in that DLC which is the biggest pain.
At least with bounties they give us weekends where its 2x or 3x and the marks are earned much easier/faster for the gen mods feats. Here we have no such advantage at all, that was the bounty point I was trying to make.
I don't get the system either! they should have just made us save marks and buy them instead of all this crafting and inventory space it seems like they did this to keep us busy because the new content wasn't really new and it's obviously that they don't really grind to complete feats like players do, they need to stop doing dumb things like this. All they do is deter old players from playing who are getting tired of stupid things like this
yeahhh, im not chasing that feat
I need 2 more might and health for 40.4
Yeah this is the worse thing they ever came out with. I hope they don't do the same thing in the next dlc
hope they never do something like this again
The Generator is USELESS to me. (Until you get Elite Gear and most players don't have time to get that.)
The goal of this system is that the users spend hundreds of marks hence they spend lots of replays or keep playing every day till the next dlc to get enough marks for 4 out of 12 mods for 1 stat so ur 12/12 50 feat point never sees the day of light...🤢🤮
Where do you get the mods
Can u do a quantum video pls ?
The plans and mods aren't tradable, but the boxes you craft are at least account bound. You don't need every plan either. Just buy all the plans up to 40.2. After that everything will be converted to the 3 that you will be working on.
This system is definitely super cumbersome, and is made even worse by an already terrible R&D system. It is also a big source mark sink.
I really don't like this system, but people are done this feat just by running dailies, no replays or anything. It is literally a gimme feat for just doing your dailies
My alt is on a different server though :(
@@ObsidianChill yeah I dont run alts either. I'm just about done this slog though lol
I dont mind them trying out new systems like this, and the R&D system should be getting some kind of use. I wouldnt call this a swing and a miss, more like a foul tip lol. They definitely should have revamped the R&D system as a whole before trying something like this though. And hopefully these mods last for longer than just this episode lol
Did they address this?? This videos needs an update.
No they didn’t, still sucks to get these mods but they did change the system for the next dlcs so it’s better now at least
You can get just one plan of each color for the .3 and .4 levels, and just choose that one when you open at .2 (although yeah if you want to use every single drop, you'll need em all)
Still garbage.
And this is not a defense of any kind, just trying to save people some marks buying plans.
I’m not doing this crap i don’t care if i’m losing out on the feats for skill points
I actually had to put 2 of my alts into play jus to get my mods on my main cuz this was atrocious
Wheres the power guides at
I did 2 last week :(
@@ObsidianChill what about the poll that u did and electricity won that but i dont see a guide for that yet electricity should’ve been before or after mental at least but yea i understand those videos drain u
@@me________ I had to make the fire one before I could switch to elec, I only have 2 toons.
@@ObsidianChill thanks for all your efforts on the power guides
Imo Idk what every1 sees thats so bad about it, it's prolly bc I've had all 12 since like April 29th, I mean at least be happy it ain't p2w🤣🤣
Even with triple marks the other week on 3 toons buying all the plans and catalyst with saved up stacks of mods, still 8/12 mods for the feat on 1 toon. Absolutely trash system
Need to make the base mods account bound at least for shit like this
Personally I love this way, the bounty spam was too boring!
You think it's hard on PS4 try feat chasing on a dead switch server... Chill these people need your help. Dcuo players switch players need your help.. I know But a PS5 right...lol.. System set up to drain the last dollar out of a good game...
Imagine makingg a 20 minute video complaining that fails to point out the actual reason behind it. As long as DCUO players apparantly have no issue throwing hundreds of dollars at an episode, theyre goin to keep chopping up every aspect into longer and longer grinds to sell you the time savers. You all need to grow a spine and just stop playing until they get the hint.
Ye this is the worst generator mod to make
People cry way too much. You don't HAVE to get the feat. If you want it, it's a grind. Play the game. People cried about bounties.... they fixed it, but they want to keep the MMO a grind obviously. People gotta stop contradicting themselves fr fr
I used .3 for resto and power as healer 🤷♂️
You seem frustrated. That's only half the plan with this system. The other half is total confusion.
when Artifacts was introduced...
Players, Just dumping cash into ranking multiple Artifacts. DCUO is pay to win.
Asking in general, where's this Rant Video? Cause it way over due. Versus this one. Respectfully.
I did cover an artifacts one, it’s called The Dark Side of the Artifact System
Rings utility belt and face iirc
and this is why i quit this game
yeah i aint like it either :/
@@ObsidianChill 🥰
Can we just face facts and realize this game is complete dog shit now!?
I'm skipping these mods, thought we were past shitty R&D mods
I would of rather had bounties over this shit system tbh, this system is unacceptable to obtain 12 mods without paying and while working a full time job and getting sleep for each day
i spend like 5hours on crafting 4 of those .4 and i unistaled this shity game im gona play FFXIV .
