RanmyakuDCUO: Assuming we get power array augs for every power, how long will it take to release all 15...... They should just put these at an in game vender like Constantine and let people get the ones they want. Hiding them behind even lockouts is probably going to hurt this idea

RanmyakuDCUO: The thing is the directions are incomplete. They'll steer towards doing something, then stop the project to do something else.

Which leaves the game unbalanced.

SymbolForHope: Ima be honest with you, Madd. I'm pretty sure it won't be that different than what we see now.

Every DPS running on the top end of Elite already has Sunstone, Batswarm, Lasso, Hopewave, Starbolt, and ETC.

Arsenal with pages is gonna get people slapped a lot more chasing damage, and then things will balance.

What I am most excited about is sharing that new player experience and showing how a new player can make an ice tank and now have aquatic arsenal so they can burn things on their own time. Also, new players need a power or route that will let then do enough damage to not get bullied out of a raid.

Gregoryr561: I have mixed feelings. I think the fire augment is great. I can’t wait to use that to proc razor. Giving everyone aquatic arsenal I think is definitely a cash grab for sure or they didn’t want to nerf water so they give everyone the over powered ability. I do think the core of the game was lost years ago when they started doing artifacts. You can’t really do anything in this game without certain artifacts. They have made skill point useless. This game is one of those Chinese gotcha games now. Now do I participate in the gotcha. Sure I do spend money. But because I can. I feel bad for people who can’t and miss the things that are op in the game. I don’t know man. I love and hate the game at the same time

Prod.warneverchanges: They need to buff whiplash, if not then it’s just a rare ability with no reason to have when AQ arsenal can be equipped by everyone with zero gambling

thatguybryce9388: They really should’ve just kept up with the absolute DC universe for powe array Augs. would’ve really loved to see an absolute flash augment before this fan service

SAUCEMANE: We amazo at this point with having this many powers available

indogene: sucks to hear everyone complaining about the changes coming to the game. I really dont know the true impact because im so new

knightrcer: Know what you mean about losing your characters identity. When spore pod first came out and i didn't hear about how OP it was going to be, a must have in anyones kit. I just thought how is a gadget toon going to look throwing a green dust cloud of spores. Since then i've had to make so many compromises between shadow curse, soul signature, elite oan backups, hard light orbital, wiplash payload, magma vortex, none of this stuff said gadgets to me. But to have fun taking down bosses and not have your damage be terrible, sometimes you have to bend a little. I'm not looking forward to swinging water sabers and a mace i can tell you that much now.

BabyR1O: They should’ve look at stats and seen what powers are used the least and made those powers into augs imagine a mental Augment and if you’re mental n you get extra buffs same with nature or atomic

Sleepy-738: These devs are something else bro smh ️ Im munition for 9 years now. Im not going to change powers because one power is better then the other nah. I rather be bottom dps. Water looks boring ngl.

migueldevere8299: You want more dmg as a fire or any other power? Here have AA. Problem solved lmao

ravKenclaw: As a 13 year veteran, these are my thoughts exactly. Back when speed hackers were more prominent in raids, people would just leave the raid because they felt it was disingenuous and trivializing content and would report the person. Now we have an ability that hits so hard and does so much damage it's essentially mimicking the experience of speed hackers running ahead and clearing out an instance before people can use one full rotation. Even the scoreboard looks like someone is speed hacking. You see 2 billion damage and the rest of players at 300mill or less. Also they have no conviction they made a whole STORYLINE dedicated to explaining why we get to use new powers (white lantern) then immediately scrapped that and said here everyone just use whatever with no uniqueness, like you said, detracting from the character creation singular power choice experience. Literally it's in the intro gameplay trailers/tutorial cutscene that we are given ONE exobyte (power/mutation/whatever you want to call it).

Also you said all their work gonna be for nothing.. What work? They dead ah just fn around in the offices. These balancing changes are non-existent. As someone who plays Dead by Daylight and Marvel Rivals, over there people would be RIOTING if balance changes came every 6 months to 18 months instead of MONTHLY. This might be one of the worst gaming corporate / dev blunders I've ever heard of. They just experimenting on their most loyal playerbase. And for what? There is NO excuse why balancing design is not more forefront. Or even different game modes. No, instead they'd rather spam us with "events" that you HAVE to do 20 DAYS a MONTH. You know what else is like that? A JOB. This FOMO design is trash. All you see is new players on discord and reddit airing grievances about how they'll never be able to compete because they had to take a break for personal life reason and missed the millionth event they've spammed us with. Also them making Whiplash Payload in a gambling lootbox then giving a stronger version two weeks later for a fraction of the cost is downright evil. And no I don't care to wait another six months to a year of this dull spam one dps move while we wait for them to "revamp" something else or pull their heads out of their *sses and give us actually engaging mechanics. Are we supposed to go 3 dlc's (a year and a half) with one ability overperforming before they say "gee, maybe we should make melee range more dangerous through increased damage taken or reduced incoming healing." ANYTHING! Instead of fixing underperforming and underutilized powers in powersets, they've decided to just take the worst balanced parts and give them to everyone, thereby decreasing the skill expression and variation within your own powerset? Be so for real.

arezazle5353: Voltera has to be the worst community manager atp bring back mepps

MajinHyper: Yeah I’m fairly new to dc and I’m not looking at it as game breaking cause well I just started I was excited about being able to make a ice and fire inspired character I had no idea water is ruining the game but I understand but from a new player perspective at least me I’m just looking at the augments as a way to make cool characters not to spam 1 ability great video bro I hope they fix all the issues with the gameoh and I’m going off your comment where you said new players just trying to buyout stuff and catchup and stuff and see this as a opportunity to be different

Washingtonmadeog: I'm going to be an atomic, fire, water blue and white lantern. Wtf is that? So freaking weird. Abandon ship?

Arsenal007: I know it’s your opinion but I would have to disagree with you my brother. The majority of the population approve of the new changes coming into Dcuo. The augmented power ring will bring more diversity into the game. Let me give you an example the reason almost 90% of the players base use super speed because it’s the only movement mode that allow you to get out of combat the fastest.

We can’t wait for each power to get Ramps anymore, it’s hard to finds roles because the players base chasing damage so they I had to use water because water had the one move that hit the hardest

MrWorldwide00: Idk if the devs are lazy, ignorant, or out of touch. Its pretty clear they dont play the game yet they refuse to listen to the community. The lack of transparency will be the death of the game

JukeDCUO: Bruh aa and speed hacking is not the same, but this is a dumb ass change just nerf water.

Marvalis: Standing Ovation Thank you for saying this. They have no idea what they’ve done here with this update.

JustMel2099: Again, great take. Ive been searching through alot of different sources and heres what ive come up with.

Fire and water will not have an extra buff by equipping these augments.

They choose the best single powers from the powerset to share. Not the synergy but single power, becauae we did not get dehydrate also with water.

Water is top tier and not being changed.

So im not sure the new direction honestly.

Fire soul will guve melee characters more potential survivability.

DCiceog: I think this is great for versatility why complain about it? I don't get it this will bring players to the game and if they don't want to use it then DONT nobody is forced to do anything I don't know what your talking about in this video tbh it feels pretty biased. And if players want " identity" then they can just keep there player how they want...and everything devs drop people don't like it. Water was first revamp right? So why is it a mystery it's top Dps and is it not Great letting more powers use MORE Powers if THEY want?? People can use fire and water powers during a " Summer " event(makes perfect sense it's hot...water...duh? Idky people are wondering why they went with these two powers..) but I digress I think this and a couple of your other videos are biased too..

OhNoThankz: What i dont understand is why they can't make new powers themselves there are so many options out there but na they are too lazy to keep making new powers

slitty1147: Why are you complaining about speed hackers running through content ? Just kick them

Out the group or leave?

IfTheTruthCouldTalk: When we gonna get a non complain video again?

ernestwallace810: What I started doing for me with all these other powers was have a armory with original powers for the hallways then run iconic loadouts for bosses . Best of both worlds and not worry about the scoreboard

masterwork-9692: I think it’ll bring some versatility. A lot more powers will be more viable with access to AA. What people can come up with has yet to be seen. I feel this whole problem can be solved with increasing difficulty of content. Higher health pools, more meaningful mechanics. I recently came back and tanked all the elite content at 492cr. Zero wipes. It shouldn’t be that easy
