![]() ![]() Now I personally usually can't stand the thought of "playing someone else's characters" and haven't even bothered to try any other Superhero games other than CoH and CO. The DC and Marvel games are giving those people exactly what they want, right down to the heavy disregard towards getting anything customized or unique. To them they only want to look/be as identical to the preexisting characters as possible. These people don't actually care about roleplaying their own characters and by extension generally don't see any point to creating anything new or customized. It all boils down to whether you just want to see the classic characters do the things they did in the comic books you read as a kid or if you want to create your own characters in a fresh superhero world. I can accept there's a certain percentage of players out there who basically love the old classic DC and Marvel universes and only want to play games where they can "pretend" to be The Hulk or The Flash regardless of actually wanting to "roleplay" a unique character. For DCUO The "DC" is just as important, if not more, than the "UO". The other part is that they are interested in growing their corporate brand. It's because "making a game" is only part of it. An openly antagonistic relationship with their end users doesn't surprise me at all. There is so much more in DCUO that makes no sense from a design standpoint than just refusing to unlock existing skins for player customization. You don't see any fantasy MMO devs attempting to ignore what WoW, AC and UO contributed to that genre. But I don't have to respect that mentality or the attitude of that game's devs at all when CoX had already established what a superhero MMO should be. I think their mindset is that by allowing you to create original characters they're giving you "a gift". Their target was the then-in-development Marvel games, neither of which allow you to create your own character (AFAIK) because the premise is to fight to unlock existing Marvel characters. To be fair, Sony strangely never regarded CoX or CO as competition. And I'm not surprised that DCUO devs still have an attitude. So you could say I'm familiar with the jerk. Any bug report thread that became critical of this attitude or of the fact that a great many progress-preventing bugs still existed (most of which were still present at launch) was immediately locked by Radar/Razor X. He let slip early in the test that the closed beta would never be anything other than a pre-preview, that no changes would be made in response to tester reports, and that the dev's weren't even reading our notes anyway. Let me guess: the obnoxious dev's handle was Radar X or Razor X or something similar? I was in the closed beta for that game, and I apologize that I can't remember his exact handle at this late date. ![]() I remember one dev saying he does not care about folks who do not pay and I am thinking, so you don't want new customers? These daybreak people are just like the poster chiild of what not to do with a superhero game, hahaha. Thought I would share that with you guys. ![]() I am an advid superhero mmo player so I am up on the "Whats happening" on every superhero game forum. Rough over there in the DCUO part of town, sucks for them I guess. I mean I would be mad if CoT or VO gave us poo poo styles but the non-playable characters got the cool stuff. What do you guys think about this? Admitting that the character is not a priority. Like those players I noticed how a number of great styles were in-game therefore codable but not available to the players. The reason I quit DC Universe Online in 2012 was because of the character creator. They struck a nerve with the dev because it was true. I thought the creator or styles were one of the most paramount features of a superhero mmorpg? I thought this was just players being players, but the more I read, the more I started to side with the players. Wow so resources do not go into the player avatar but other things. They even let some guy hurt their feelingsĭev:I think this is a little more cynical and callous than it needs to be. The quotes made me think, nah, they are joking, but the dev was very offensive, on the offense in the entire thread. because it is not the wisest use of our resources" straight to the point and honest, nuff saidĭev: Let me disclaimer that its a "we dont want to. The rest is just bad excuses.Īnother Player: one of my new favorite devs. Player: I can't see why they couldn't make armors that would basicly be a chest for werewolf. Players over there started to question the lack of features on their avatar since a great deal of those features are already in-game. Boy did it go down on the DCUO forums today. ![]()
