DCUO producer's update says login fixes are coming

@chum That was supposed to be there, but it got bugged. They're working on a fix for that.

@chum

Dude it's SOE.

Did you really expect them to plan for something properly?


It's good to see new people but we all know they won't stick around long because SOE has proven time and again since January that they aren't competent.

1. They never delivered what they promised in terms of frequent updates.
2. They never fixed any massive game breaking bugs and exploits in a timely manner (cheating has gone virtually unchecked and unpunished since release).
3. Worst communication I've ever seen from an MMO developer; even after they fired the people in charge and promised us better communication (even the documentation on basic game controls is awful).

@Misterlee
I totally agree. I have wanted to play DCUO since it was announced but I still love and play WoW so I could not justify the monthly cost. After trying it for a few hours, I had no problem throwing down enough cash to upgrade to Premium because I could tell that I would be playing more.

There are still some issues to work out, but that will ALWAYS be present in any MMO. The difference is how the company handles them.

@pcgneurotic

What kind of controller are you using?

I use an Xbox 360 controller, and the left bumper is target lock, if you want to switch targets, use left/right on the dpad while holding down LB.

@IronChu

Brilliant! Man, you totally saved my life there! Yeah, I'm using a 360 pad, and I know about the target lock, but I didn't know you could cycle targets with the d pad too. Thanks again, I owe you one! :)

@pcgneurotic

#1 so much. That was the major annoyance I had with my time last weekend. The UI is clunky and needs some touch up.

@pcgneurotic

Oooooh. I forgot to ask: Can PC players use the PC version of the XB360 controller in this game? Repeatedly hitting my mouse buttons is making my fingers numb >.

@(Unverified) yes you can. I personally use my ps3 controller on my pc and it works much better than usign a keyboard.

@Destati

Keep the points for later?

@Destati The DLC also gives you access to 3 very popular end game 4 man instances and one, meh, 2 man instance. Even if you don't want Hard Light, you're probably going to get some milage out of the DLC.

@Destati

Cash is relatively useless especially after the massive inflation from an item/cash duplication bug that people took advantage of.

Having even 1-2 million in game cash wouldn't help you actually finish collections and styles from the marketplace. Players duped so much cash that people ended up with billions and anything "rare" would be out of your price range for a year or more since the whole point of rare items is using them (thus making them unable to trade or destroying them in the process). Anything "rare" you would find would be at most a lateral trade and you would never really gain any ground in the wealth department.

They recently took a lot of money out of the game by removing any currency on your characters above 100 million but that was just a slap on the wrist since most people would have only gotten about 1/10th that amount without the duped money being introduced to the in game economy. IMO they should have set a hard cap of 999,999 for every character in the game which would also make it the highest price you could ever list an item on the market place.

The whole cash dupe fiasco is just one more example of how incompetent SOE is considering they waited months and months to even address the issue. It's just silly because the duped money had already spread throughout the game and destroyed the economy. A real developer would have addressed the issue immediately and harshly.
