DC Universe Online developers having a chat with fans tomorrow

@Dunraven

its funny everytime i see one of these comments.
I'm not even a DC fanboi (I prefer marvel, Spiderman is the man IMO)
Lord knows I hold no love for sony either. That being said my server sees a steady population during primetime queues of no longer than 10 minutes for 2v2 legends at offtimes and a good supply of non-asshat players all around. For once a MMO developer did something right, made sure the core game was solid before adding all the bells and whistles. The WoW crowd will likely detest it as it is, and well many DCU players are just fine with that. No, really, we are.
Take DCU for what it is a fairly casual mmo beat-em up that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people. Hell its all my 4yr old son can talk about most nights.
For all the people who expected CoH 3.0 (we all know CO is CoX 2.0) why not stop hating and accept the game for what it is and enjoy it as such?

Sorry, CO is not CoX 2.0, it is more like CoX 0.7++.
I added ++ for the updated graphics engine and nifty powers/missions/ ideas factor, but it still has nowhere near as much content as CoX. DCUO, on the other hand, plays more like X-Men:Legends 2.0 with travel powers, button mashing for the win.

@Skyydragonn What do Charlie Sheen and this comment have in common?

They are both WINNING.

@Altruist

I wouldn't wish DCUO's chat and UI on even the most evil of soul's. I would wish it on people who use their cellphones at the movies though.

@Furdinand

True, but I know the PS3 servers are still going strong. Death and Glory is still the highest populated server on PC.

It's good to see the concern, but I do think it is too soon for any mergers, even though I see some groups moving on the forums. One must also consider hero-to-villain ration. I play most on VnV and the ratio seems to be 5:1 in favor of heroes.

I also think that the queue system still is broken in some areas and needs fixing and this aggrevates the problem on all servers.

@Space Cobra

"Death and Glory is still the highest populated server on PC."

From what I understand, that's true, but I've been on D&G since launch and I've noticed a decline for awhile. The last week has been very interesting for me because the Hall of Doom has *felt* more empty than the past (I stress the 'felt' part). Even dropping in to Metropolis or Gotham the place just doesn't feel no where near as full or packed as it used to.

I don't know if everyone is instancing or what, but the game feels like it's lost people, a lot (on PC).

@Yellowdancer

I don't know where you got your numbers from, but John Smedley has said in a recent interview that the PS3 numbers were only equal to about 51% of their total subscribers and PC closely behind them with 49%.

@CCon99

That was first month sales, dude. I believe he tweeted that the 2nd week of release.

The numbers have changed since then.

@Yellowdancer

Thanks chica.

So you're saying they lost that many people in that little bit of time? Ouch, I had no idea things were so bad already.

@CCon99

Only on the PC side. PS3 side has medium to high volumes on all servers. I think there were 2 more PS3 servers than PC servers. Or maybe 3. I donno.

PC side...2 servers hit medium. The rest are low.

And its hard to say with the PC population. People play so casually on that thing. I still see people running around, ganking each other. Its what you expect though. The game was built for consoles...SOE just decided that PC players would like to share their money with them too.

@Yellowdancer
even at "low" population, there are no shortages of people to play with, run hard alerts with or clear out your Duo's for the day. Using those definative terms out of context does more harm than good and gives a false impression of ghost town servers. When such is far from the case.
The only time there is a long wait for a queue is the occasional PvP match queues can take awhile on a PvE server. otherwise rarely longer than 5 minute waits for any group content outside of a raid. (yes PuGging raids is still a bad idea here)
