I agree with most of your points made in this video especially the balancing aspect, however if no powers are going to be added atleast give players the ability to change the color or access to other power set abilities.
Ik it would be awesome to have different color variations of the powers we already have like for example: Green or blue fire Green sorcery Different color lightning for speedster characters like red, white, purple lightning Different color lanterns More flight movement mode variations More personality variations There’s so much they can do to make the game better without having to add new powers. Honestly just think they don’t care that much.
No. There’s so many other things that literally affect the game that need fixing and you want devs to focus on making rainbow fire? Never gonna happen, and I’m glad
@@isthisnametaken9965 nothing more important than making the game feel fresh again unless its game breaking. doing somthing as simple as adding a color pallate to power sets would make the game feel fresh if only for a little while im all for it.
Honestly, letting us change the colors for our current powers would go a long way. Being able to throw red lightning, blue power rings, etc would be somewhat of a change that I at least, would enjoy.
I was going to add this as well, So many powers in the comics have overlaps that you could pretty easily make any hero/villain you wanted by just mixing and matching iconics augmented by your base power choice. That would probably have to come after a rebalance of everything though because so many powers just aren't up to snuff.

A great possibility would be allowing to chose a certain amount of powers from other Power Sets as it was possible in "City of Heroes" or "Champions Online". They could make it so that this option only exists for subscribers. That way it would be worth to subscribe and possibly create new income for the game. I mean just imagine creating an Earth/Fire hybrid tank or a rage/water healer :D That would be completely changing the system but it could definetly be awesome for both players and the company.
I'd love to see a Healer role for lanterns. Then maybe use the other colors divided between the roles. Green/Yellow/? controllers, Red/?/? tanks, Blue/?/? healers. Pick the role you would like to use, then pick the ring color of that role. Powers would be basically the same with reskins ( if I remember right green has some boxing glove attack while yellow has claws for same attack ). Could justify heros having yellow with when batman used a ring, and villains having green with dawnbreaker. All that would is justifying a male character having a violet ring (numbers running thin, had to widen recruitment or something)
More than new powers I want the ability to better customize the ones we've got (colors, iconics, legends character loadout powers, etc) but only after they've rebalanced what we've got. In a perfect world, every power set should be able to achieve similar numbers but the way you get there and the aesthetics would be what differentiate the powers from one another. Adding iconic and legends character abilities into the game could also be a solid source for revenue as well, each release of powers could be setup as a big deal with matched cosmetics to go along with it. They could sell the new abilities in packs, with each pack themed around a particular hero or villain.
I wish they would bring back OG weapon mastery with a twist: adjust for difficulty. Make the easiest ones give you a bonus for a second or so, and add benefits like block breaks, longer duration, and bigger bonuses as the masteries become more involved. That would make staves, shields, and other weapons relevant even to might based players.
3:45 I think there are barriers that make it harder for example having to relevel artifacts on a new power. Games like BDO promote alt experience by making gear account bound and moveable between alts. If we could move arts I would do alt to loosen the barrier and I think people would be more into the alt experience but as it stands unless you really like this game why would anyone pay to level them a second time. Another possible solution is giving reason to play multiple alts like in lost ark weekly/ daily lockouts are character based. So you can keep grinding resources for progression on your main as long as you want to play and have more character slots to use. Though I think NA does push back on this a bit because it can feel overly grindy creating a meta where you almost need to create a bunch of alts to compete. Mainly I think player retention is what is lost in an unfriendly alt system and putting some time into making this a bit more comfortable really might go along way to keeping people in the game longer.
Off topic maybe.. but when are: -Gender change token -Battle rez (instead of rubbing our hands waiting for circle to fill up) -PvP battle royale (done right this could draw ALOT of players back!) -Increaces numbers of items placement in our League Hall -Save base design layouts -Silver surfer & spiderman cosmetic mouvement style & many more.. There's definitely many way to add around what's already there to make it more appealing, just saying! Merry Poppins & happy Good Years Obsidian !
Honestly DC would be much more fresh with new power sets. The same powers gets boring after awhile but if it can't happen they should at least let us color or powers
There is no excuse city of heroes and city of villains did it and like ten years ago. DCUO needs new owners straight up this game should be rebooted and started over on the unreal 6 engine.
They need to add a colour palette for hard light power. The power is already created they just need to implement a colour change system. I would like a orange lantern, blue lantern etc (edited) seen a lot of comments for this! I can't think of any other power set that would work. They have basically covered all powers that super hero's use in dc. Maybe add more icons powers would be an option.
It's been so damn long without I don't see how so people wouldn't rush over to purchase the New Power after so many years. I know I would for a fact! You're right so many ran over to Water Power so I don't see how a new power wouldn't benefit the devs and players. 🤷♂️
Why they never did a super strength set. Over 50% of every comic hero or villain has it. Paired with various iconic and you could emulate anyone. City of heroes had a very fun SS set that a lot of people used.
I agree with the business side and development time that you bring up. And im also right there with you in that a power revamp weapon mastery and super charge/iconic/and movement dots, .. just a combat rework in general would be way more beneficial... With that said though.... a healing blue lantern and a troll black lantern would be awesome lol
Ohhh... yeah, or just let every power set play any role. :D Me as a Nature: Why can't I play tank or Troll? Me as Fire: hunh, I have neat heals... wait.. why am I stuck in TANK role?
@@marhawkman303 Someone suggested that on the forums but it kinda goes back into the whole new power set road. To make every power play any role it would require massive time from the entire department. Which I wouldn't mind because it's not like they're doing shit anyways besides adding money grabs.
@@rockjm9876543210 It'd be a lot LESS than building new power sets completely. And in some cases there's already a start to it. like, Ice... doesn't do healing. But.. ice does have stuff that buffs allies. Buffs that almost no one uses since as Ice you're either DPS or Tank. If I was to do this I'd do it one set at a time, and not try to make a mega-drop with ALL the sets revamped. Maybe just start by setting the flag for allowing Ice to be healer role even if they're terrible at it. Then over time tweaking sets to increase options for roles.
Either way you look at it it can't be done. Look at how Genshin impact and ToF and Final Fantasy create fresh new content for their games. They could definitely do the same. I mean what else are they doing lol
They can add more iconic powers because they already have the animation. Remove the stat clamp, or add an on/off switch. Let us change the colors of powersets. Add more stores for particular items like a choma/material store or base item store. Capes that hold emblems. More cities. Better mechanics to make simple combos. They could do so much.
I like what they've been doing with the current iconic powers, they give you a new art to upgrade one. Like word of power, and heat vision both have a specific art. Oh, and if you want some specific base items for the newer content; there's a newish base item vendor left when you warp into the HoL. I think the vendor is Cheetah.
Would be good if they updated hard light and rage. Just simply make it so you can choose your ring power rather than, will is good fear is bad, rage is tank. Introduce a hard light healing role and voila. Love death life hope greed, and indigo tribe (compassion) all rolled into one
I wish they would let you give artifacts and gear to a different character on your account as well as access to skill points without having to buy them with replay badges.
DCUO is an MMO. A LARGE part of any MMO are the different classes/powers. Not adding any new power after YEARS is honestly hurting players. Yes it’s a large project but again, it’s been years since water was released. Same with movement variants and weapons years ago. They added skimming and shield years ago and just dropped the idea. I get they’re stretched thin and everything which is a valid point. It’s understandable. But the idea that people are trying to justify the lack of a new power based off the idea that is hard to balance is lazy. I’d be more understanding hearing “We don’t have the resources right now” than “It’s hard to balance and no one wants new powers.”
The DCUO development team is probably the least transparent of any developers i've seen. There is zero communication to tell us that they are severely understaffed and training new hires etc, we know this because its plain as day to anyone with a few google searches. *IF* they would actually be up front with the community about why there is a delay on projects it would go a long way to restoring that kind of faith. I have no clue why they wouldn't want to be transparent about subjects like this
I would have actually loved to have quantum as a healer power. You could have played around with time mechanics, simply setting back health to a ceartain point in time, or maybe making it so, that damage is applied slower or smth like that. another idea surley would be another ring power for healing, tho i agree with you, i have a hard time seeing any new ways to heal. As for troll, id say "wind" or sound would fit the troll theme. tho for wind youd have to rework flight, wich id do anyways (and the other movement abilities). And for tank serum seems interessting the way you described it. I fully understnad, that its pretty much unfeasible for the current dcuo team to work on 1-3 new powers, but damn would it be fun to explore some new stuff in that regard
Well, I'm really not sure if the guys who originally designed the powers wanted them to be stuck with DPS or one of three other roles. Nature has all sorts of stuff that's... not healing. Fire has a surprising amount of healing... for a Tank
@@marhawkman303 I think natures unique design as a healing power is really nice tho. Same goes for fire, really all of the tank powers, in terms of variety between the powers and the way they achieve their tankiness.
@@chadbanner5452 I play Ice, and damage? lol, damage is for lesser beings. :D I can tank an Alert and take little if any actual damage. Shields are adequate to soak it all up.
Making a whole new powerset would be so much work it wouldn't even be funny. There are so many numbers and systems working in tandem in the background that the chances of a new power seriously breaking the game in some way is incredibly high! I seem to remember Water healing was quite broken-OP when it first came out. They've balanced it now, but it's still pretty damn strong! The people begging for a new power are probably the same people who beg for the devs to "make the graphics better", as if it's as easy as turning up the volume dial on a stereo or something. It ain't that easy! While I would love to see a new power set, I think for now the more sensible option would be to either add new Iconic abilities, or at the very least, keep adding new artifacts that buff existing Iconic abilities like Freezing Breath, Gag glove and Sonic Cry etc, or introduce new artifacts to buff certain movement abilities such as Swoop attack and Whirlwind attack from flight, or Forward Flip, Backflip kick and Launching Roll etc from acrobatics. That could at least make more 'Iconic' loadouts more viable in endgame, and it would be a lot easier to tackle one ability at a time, rather than suddenly introduce 30-odd new abilities in the form of a new power.
When I started playing dc I remember rage celestial quantum etc all dropping within years of each other munitions and atomic dropped within the same time frame and water after ur the reason dc isn’t getting any better ur coping for the devs
@@glidergoku Oh fuck off mate. I'm not the reason DC isn't getting any better, the lazy devs are! You're conveniently forgetting that when those powers came out, the original dev team who built the game were all still in place. Those powers were probably in development while the game was being made, but weren't quite ready for release. Nowadays we've got a completely new team of devs who don't know what they're doing. All the 'new' powers came out within 6 years of the games launch. It's been over 7 years since water released. This new team clearly aren't capable of much. Not to mention, the playerbase just isn't there anymore to support the dev time it would take to build a new powerset. FFS, it took the devs about 8 months to scrape together the current barebones episode which the old team could've pumped out in 3! The game only has like 400 concurrent players on Steam. Not all of them are going to switch over to a new power. What would be the point now? The game's on its last legs. I literally said I would love new powers. I just have zero faith that the devs are capable of doing it, and not fuck the game up in the process.
I completely understand balancing powers as a priority, the staff shortage and issues in game should be handled first. With all of that said IF a new power in the future was a serious option then I still want my Cerum Tank power that got shelfed years ago. It was based off Bane. They said they stopped it to not promote drug uses but they show, theft, lust, murder and killing in the game and that through this entire argument for me out the window. I'm still personally want my Cerum Tank power
I can see what you mean. It was more of how the new powers worked and how to use them that got me back to dcuo. Like rage with there self healing tank role that I loved and was praying that they'd one day bring a blue lantern core power out with a unique Mechanic too 😅
Space power would be cool, imagine having a huge jupiter planet aoe on floor underneat enemies. 2-3 planets crashing into eachothers, rockets colliding in air, a black hole that swoops up enemies, supernova as a finisher, satellites colliding while a voice is shouting "Housten we have a problem" xd
Also imagine the blue lantern healer role serving its purpos like the commics, for xample. The ring heals but also bolsters the green sntern powers. Imagine the group and priority heal also boosting weapon or even powers dps for 6 seonds while also healing you. That would be a power house.
As someone who used to play and had the disc on PS3, it's a shame they haven't added any new powers. (Before water was added) I've heard way back when about wind, Blue lantern, and shadow powers. (Wind is totally possible with the fx in the game bro, we have some wind abilities) I can't figure out how the game has made it this long with such a limited set of powers. There are so many ideas for powers out there yet they move at a snails pace to get anything worthwhile in the game
So, here is what I would like to see, if there’s never going to be another new power set or something of that nature, it would be cool to see the serum mixture to where you can be electricity, but use water shields, or celestial shields, or even the water and use bio capacitor! I think that would be really dope to where you can mix and match powers, depending on your powers set.
Just Made Up a DPS, Tank, Heal, Troll Powers Here are the abilitys Feel Free to reply and say if its good or bad powers First is Troll: Accelerated Tempo: - Ability 1: "Time Warp" - Manipulates time, reducing the cooldown of the character's abilities and those of nearby allies. - Ability 2: "Haste Burst" - Releases a burst of temporal energy, increasing the attack and movement speed of allies within a certain radius for a short duration. - Ability 3: "Chrono Shield" - Erects a protective shield that absorbs a portion of incoming damage and reduces the duration of negative effects on the character and nearby allies. - Ability 4: "Temporal Distortion" - Creates a localized time distortion field, slowing down enemy movements and abilities while hastening those of allies. - Ability 5: "Time Siphon" - Drains time energy from enemies, reducing their cooldowns and granting it as a temporary cooldown reduction bonus to the character and nearby allies. Tank: Guardian Knight: - Ability 1: "Divine Shield" - Raises a protective shield, reducing damage taken and providing immunity to negative effects for a short time. - Ability 2: "Righteous Charge" - Charges at enemies with righteous fury, knocking them back and dealing damage. - Ability 3: "Vigilant Guard" - Takes a defensive stance, intercepting and redirecting a portion of incoming damage to protect allies. - Ability 4: "Inspiring Presence" - Radiates an aura of inspiration, boosting the defenses and morale of nearby allies. - Ability 5: "Valiant Stand" - Unleashes an ultimate defensive stance, significantly reducing damage taken for a brief duration.

Personally I wanted like a elastic man power but I will say this i came back to the game about 4 years ago and in that time they have only destroyed anything the tru to fix like nature, venom wristband then you have bow mastery
I think that if they were to make a new power it should be black light (black lantern), it should also be a healer powerset as we already have a lantern power for tank and controller roles. Just to add something that I think would be cool (might be unbalanced) is if they add a resurrect supercharge for the 10,000 cost one since black lanterns in the game at least give off the whole vibe that they are kind of dead so it would be a nice touch.
I know this is an old video, but they should just keep adding more superpower skills to the already existing powersets. It allows the dev team to get more creative with power animations and possibly introduce new mechanics for each power.
They have to tie new powers into big expansions like destiny 2 but the way they have there membership now makes no return in investment for them 15$ a month and unlocks everything
Everyone asks because the ones we have now are tired or not appealing or just boring and dry now lol. Most folks who look at Dcuo bring up the aging graphics and then talking about we need new powers . I say they need to step on it and balance what we have, it shouldn't take almost 5 damn years to balance them but that's also a moot point because the right arts and allies can make almost any power shine. The fact remains if DCUO really wants to shine they need to update these graphics and have a new power set or a few to show it off but at the same time it would be nice if they can at least add new abilities and new iconics to all current powers . Dcuo should be much bigger then it is they keep with this same Cycle of content and no new powers or graphic revamps this game will never be really popular . Also to add IF the TEAM can get bigger then hell yes go for it but if it remains small then hell nah lol it won't work out. They need more devs to even attempt to have different groups work on episodes , updates, New styles etc and having a small group already try to do a power set nah impossible with a tiny team .
The devs should be clear once and for all about that then. They should tell us something like "Guys, no new power will ever be released, because of this, this and this. Wer're sorry this could be a letdown to many of you guys, but it is what it is. Make do with what you already have.". Crystal clear, no "maybes" no "never-say-nevers"
They need to add blue lantern core with healer role and fix th celestial power to split it depending on your faction. Like light for example. I you a villain you get corrupted powers, if you a hero sanctified powers.
Like our said. We have burst debuff etc. How about blue lantern damage buff plus healer. A hole new take on healer buffing also DPS of weapons or powers without being controler
I get what ur saying but that's not entirely fair towards all new powers I have a feeling the reason more people don't use water is because it was more built for healing rather then dps and since the dps is lack luster it makes most of the players not interested. Plus how long it takes for a new character to get up and running artifacts and skill points are so time consuming I think it henders people from making new characters. Plus air is a weak power to go for instead we should get Black/White lantern and make them a dps/healer. Black for villains and white for heros. Then focus on the dps side first to make it really solid then make those moves heal a decent amount on the flip side. Easy and everyone wins
What needs to be done is an adjustment to the damage for all powers in the game for example atomic is trash in DpS when it comes to precision none of the abilities it has is worth a crap. Sorcery the abilities soberage and the other one needs to get changed from being a hit miss to being a explosive on target as soon as it hits igniting the other following balls that travel
The only powersets I really want to see in this game is Star Sapphire and Blue Lantern powers. I believe this will draw many new players, and perhaps even old players.
Ooh, serum sounds very cool the way its getting described. I wish I had been playing that year to at least put in a vote ha. Oh, and for the drug reference; I'm not entirely positive what the comic's called, but there is one about how venom is like a highly addictive drug, and Bane has a character come in and help him get off of venom. Something happens with Batman, and it gets interesting. Don't quote me, but I think it's called; "I am Bane." Please don't spoil the events for people in the comments. Anyway, if they do decide to at least try another power, I sincerely hope they do serum. I'm starting a new main, prec dps, and I feel like I can't figure out the right power for it (leaderboard aside.) Another thing I wish was more balanced was the arts; I have access to six artifacts that mention prec, or weapons, none of them are used for prec dps PvE from what I've been reading and hearing. It's always strat/transform card and grim. I understand why, but still... Maybe a new art that's similar to isis where it adds new animation to neo venom boost? Idk, let me know how yall feel? Maybe I'm asking for too much.
you and i diffrer on this one brother. I think the fun in the game is playing the diffrent powers and finding ways to make them work.. after all this time the content is all the same each dlc is very much like the last. they already made us wait like 7 months from the last dlc so their great at milking the time line already .Its friends and time spent that keep us playing longterm. I would enjoy a ballance shift and rework it be great i mean eog completly altered nature. but its probably easier to work on a power than that whole system rework. I mean my league and i have all been playing forever and i seriously doubt they would play as much if they couldnt power swap to try out new things. Now to me a rework of my favotrite part of the game PVP would be the best focus, if i was in charge of DCUO. bring back the rock paper siscors in all matches 4v4 and higher. i miss those mechanics. and whatever else it needs to be sucessful. it was a huge part of the community to me eariler in the game and its sorly lacking in todays game
they've been trying, there has been job postings on their website for like 6 months. No one wants to work on a game that is 10+ years old besides fresh out of college people looking just for any experience
They need to fix all powers and adjust EOG.Tanking doesn’t feel the same and trills are just batteries.Healer supers hot nerfed just because of freaking EOG.I agree with what you said on EOG balance and I’m hoping they adjusted and super speed the balance the powers because some of them are good just be of high skill points and artifacts and that’s sad
Man, unfortunately I don’t agree, not everything is about profit instantaneously, it’s about sustainability and long term success. If your theory is accurate, at 2% of players actually using the new power, we have to see what is the % of people coming into the game as a new player or old player because of something as different as a new power set. I see this thread everywhere this conversation everywhere, the DCUO community is asking for it, if your community is asking for it, it’s smart to listen, That’s what most successful companies do, you listen to the consumer as much as possible. Also, the company only focusing on DLC’s or a new power, is absolute BS to me, a company making yearly what they make, simply hire more people, expand your staff and deliver a product to your consumer, DC Is extremely repetitive and innovations like this should be a no brainer. I am a 10 year old player who took a 7 year break and I did not come back because of a DLC at all. Just simply compare it to other popular MMO’s and you’ll see the difference of powers/classes. What is do agree with is wind being boring and won’t cause any attention at all, it’s about bringing something cool into the table that you can also use towards the marketing of the game. Again, this is a conversation we had a long time ago and it’s still happening, innovations should be happening all the time. Power revamp, power animations, new powers, new weapon combos and etc.
Not a fan of the idea of serums, it just doesn't fit the whole...Exobyte story imo. But then again neither does hard light or rage...Anyways, I think we're missing a healer blue lantern. And a orange lantern that could do a mixture of shapeshifting like nature in a way + pet summoning. Besides that I don't really want to see more powers, but more abilities and a higher level, we're still at level 30? Come on... But if they were to do anything REALLY inventive, they should add the ability to customize your lighting and effects. Powers yes but I mean more...Global, the visuals itself, make dcuo look noire or like Simpsons, change the saturation/gamma/occlusions on command of the player.
Or why don’t they do like a powers animation revamp or something. Make the powers look more flashy. Lol it’s 2022 about to be 2023 and we still got animations where it look like I’m throwing a baseball at the enemy😂
whats so hilarous every populer mmo, creates new powers constantly no excuses. wow death knight/evoker recently ff14 sage/reaper. the truth about dcuo they put 0 money in to it and make it as plain and boring as possible. they know the 2-3k of people playing it are addicted and will buy stabilizers constantly to be the no1 player in the game to have a even more plain and boring experience no grind intended.
I would def be down for a revamp at this point to add some extra juice to the game. There's really no excitement to dc anymore besides when content first drops then it gets stale after a month. I normally don't like revamp but I would def be on board or atleast power adjustments. Are the devs plan on doing anything with powers in 2023?
@@ObsidianChill Why the delay? People been asking for power adjustments for years now, not artifacts. Unless they plan on adjusting all the art swapping then I don't see what needs to be reworked.
I am so done man. Been playing this game since launch across pretty much every platform and they just haven’t introduced anything to keep my attention. Knowing they aren’t even considering adding new powers is a slap to the face man. It’s a shame Lego DC super villians have better powers for characters than this game does. At least give us plastic man/stretchy powers!!
New power will bring more people back and quickly but won’t keep them around for long, while revamp will bring some and probably keep as more around longer

I would love if they would allow us to change the color of existing powers. Blue lighting, yellow spells, etc.
Ive no clue why this wasnt in the game from the get go but hey lmao. Id LOVE to make azula but i cant get her iconic blue effects rip
i'd like to add a green and blue effect to the quantum powers like a mix of both
Mine is Dr fate but sorcery is pink and blue. Love to change it to the gold color of the ankh accessory
I'd like that too! Like a color token or something easy to get.
This would be so fun!! I want pink or green magic for Sorcery so bad
I agree with most of your points made in this video especially the balancing aspect, however if no powers are going to be added atleast give players the ability to change the color or access to other power set abilities.
Yeah that would be something at least lanterns should be different colors
@@Imjussaiyanbro
All lanters
Diffrent speedster
Blue or atomic fire
Dead water or holy water
Ik it would be awesome to have different color variations of the powers we already have like for example:
Green or blue fire
Green sorcery
Different color lightning for speedster characters like red, white, purple lightning
Different color lanterns
More flight movement mode variations
More personality variations
There’s so much they can do to make the game better without having to add new powers. Honestly just think they don’t care that much.
No. There’s so many other things that literally affect the game that need fixing and you want devs to focus on making rainbow fire? Never gonna happen, and I’m glad

Exactly and legends pvp characters loadouts.

I think a refresh to the current power sets would be better....looks, color, revamp unused moves to make more diverse loadouts ect.
i always wondered why they never created a power set that allows you to be superman-like without animations. agree with the revamp. much needed
I like the idea of powers revolving around a certain hero just like the light power set
A great possibility would be allowing to chose a certain amount of powers from other Power Sets as it was possible in "City of Heroes" or "Champions Online". They could make it so that this option only exists for subscribers. That way it would be worth to subscribe and possibly create new income for the game.
I mean just imagine creating an Earth/Fire hybrid tank or a rage/water healer :D That would be completely changing the system but it could definetly be awesome for both players and the company.
I'd love to see a Healer role for lanterns.
Then maybe use the other colors divided between the roles. Green/Yellow/? controllers, Red/?/? tanks, Blue/?/? healers. Pick the role you would like to use, then pick the ring color of that role. Powers would be basically the same with reskins ( if I remember right green has some boxing glove attack while yellow has claws for same attack ). Could justify heros having yellow with when batman used a ring, and villains having green with dawnbreaker. All that would is justifying a male character having a violet ring (numbers running thin, had to widen recruitment or something)
I'd go with white lanterns for healers, cuz on comics they are the responsables for life.
I will always want violet lantern! Preferably as healer, but that's just me
try find my comment for a heal based lantern power, violet sounds good but I think the one I suggested might gain more hype
2:22 Combine existing powers. Mental + Ice + Lightning.
More than new powers I want the ability to better customize the ones we've got (colors, iconics, legends character loadout powers, etc) but only after they've rebalanced what we've got. In a perfect world, every power set should be able to achieve similar numbers but the way you get there and the aesthetics would be what differentiate the powers from one another. Adding iconic and legends character abilities into the game could also be a solid source for revenue as well, each release of powers could be setup as a big deal with matched cosmetics to go along with it. They could sell the new abilities in packs, with each pack themed around a particular hero or villain.
To be honest, rather then the episodes we've had so far. I wouldn't mind having something new like a new power.
I wish they would bring back OG weapon mastery with a twist: adjust for difficulty. Make the easiest ones give you a bonus for a second or so, and add benefits like block breaks, longer duration, and bigger bonuses as the masteries become more involved. That would make staves, shields, and other weapons relevant even to might based players.
3:45 I think there are barriers that make it harder for example having to relevel artifacts on a new power. Games like BDO promote alt experience by making gear account bound and moveable between alts. If we could move arts I would do alt to loosen the barrier and I think people would be more into the alt experience but as it stands unless you really like this game why would anyone pay to level them a second time.
Another possible solution is giving reason to play multiple alts like in lost ark weekly/ daily lockouts are character based. So you can keep grinding resources for progression on your main as long as you want to play and have more character slots to use. Though I think NA does push back on this a bit because it can feel overly grindy creating a meta where you almost need to create a bunch of alts to compete.
Mainly I think player retention is what is lost in an unfriendly alt system and putting some time into making this a bit more comfortable really might go along way to keeping people in the game longer.
They can also incorporate more iconic powers and power based weapons like the cold gun(s) or a flamethrower.
I really want more hard light stuff. Purple would be dope.
What would be great is that NPC characters recognize player character as one of their own according to the title.
Off topic maybe.. but when are:
-Gender change token
-Battle rez (instead of rubbing our hands waiting for circle to fill up)
-PvP battle royale (done right this could draw ALOT of players back!)
-Increaces numbers of items placement in our League Hall
-Save base design layouts
-Silver surfer & spiderman cosmetic mouvement style
& many more..
There's definitely many way to add around what's already there to make it more appealing, just saying!
Merry Poppins & happy Good Years Obsidian !
fr, like I dont want to have to create a whole new alt just to have a female character, its actually retarded they havent added in gender switch token
Honestly DC would be much more fresh with new power sets. The same powers gets boring after awhile but if it can't happen they should at least let us color or powers
Facts 💯
So no ghost powers, no stretching powers, no, nothing?
I wouldn’t mind if their not adding a new power set but maybe add some iconic powers? Take some from the legends legends move sets
They should make a revamp on the movement as well imagine the parkour for acrobatics and the barrel rolls
There is no excuse city of heroes and city of villains did it and like ten years ago. DCUO needs new owners straight up this game should be rebooted and started over on the unreal 6 engine.
They need to add a colour palette for hard light power. The power is already created they just need to implement a colour change system. I would like a orange lantern, blue lantern etc (edited) seen a lot of comments for this!
I can't think of any other power set that would work. They have basically covered all powers that super hero's use in dc. Maybe add more icons powers would be an option.
There are so many amazing kilos that use water! But I get your point… They need to fix what’s broken first before adding a new toy to the toy chest
It's been so damn long without I don't see how so people wouldn't rush over to purchase the New Power after so many years. I know I would for a fact! You're right so many ran over to Water Power so I don't see how a new power wouldn't benefit the devs and players. 🤷♂️
Why they never did a super strength set. Over 50% of every comic hero or villain has it. Paired with various iconic and you could emulate anyone. City of heroes had a very fun SS set that a lot of people used.
I agree with the business side and development time that you bring up. And im also right there with you in that a power revamp weapon mastery and super charge/iconic/and movement dots, .. just a combat rework in general would be way more beneficial... With that said though.... a healing blue lantern and a troll black lantern would be awesome lol
Ohhh... yeah, or just let every power set play any role. :D Me as a Nature: Why can't I play tank or Troll? Me as Fire: hunh, I have neat heals... wait.. why am I stuck in TANK role?
@@marhawkman303 Someone suggested that on the forums but it kinda goes back into the whole new power set road. To make every power play any role it would require massive time from the entire department. Which I wouldn't mind because it's not like they're doing shit anyways besides adding money grabs.
@@rockjm9876543210 It'd be a lot LESS than building new power sets completely. And in some cases there's already a start to it. like, Ice... doesn't do healing. But.. ice does have stuff that buffs allies. Buffs that almost no one uses since as Ice you're either DPS or Tank.
If I was to do this I'd do it one set at a time, and not try to make a mega-drop with ALL the sets revamped. Maybe just start by setting the flag for allowing Ice to be healer role even if they're terrible at it. Then over time tweaking sets to increase options for roles.
Yeah they said no 6 years ago
Either way you look at it it can't be done. Look at how Genshin impact and ToF and Final Fantasy create fresh new content for their games. They could definitely do the same. I mean what else are they doing lol
They can add more iconic powers because they already have the animation.
Remove the stat clamp, or add an on/off switch.
Let us change the colors of powersets.
Add more stores for particular items like a choma/material store or base item store.
Capes that hold emblems.
More cities.
Better mechanics to make simple combos.
They could do so much.
I like what they've been doing with the current iconic powers, they give you a new art to upgrade one. Like word of power, and heat vision both have a specific art. Oh, and if you want some specific base items for the newer content; there's a newish base item vendor left when you warp into the HoL. I think the vendor is Cheetah.
Would be good if they updated hard light and rage. Just simply make it so you can choose your ring power rather than, will is good fear is bad, rage is tank.
Introduce a hard light healing role and voila. Love death life hope greed, and indigo tribe (compassion) all rolled into one
I wish they would let you give artifacts and gear to a different character on your account as well as access to skill points without having to buy them with replay badges.
*Blue Lantern* healer.... I've been asking for that power for YEARS _🥺_
So no stretchy powers?
At this point, they should be moving towards a sequel.
I can't imagine they wouldn't make back their money and profit.
A gag power would absolutely make me come back to this amazing game!
Shidd when was the last time we got a new power? Was it water?💀
Back in 2017 I believe
@@troylawson1902 Jeez
DCUO is an MMO. A LARGE part of any MMO are the different classes/powers. Not adding any new power after YEARS is honestly hurting players. Yes it’s a large project but again, it’s been years since water was released.
Same with movement variants and weapons years ago. They added skimming and shield years ago and just dropped the idea.
I get they’re stretched thin and everything which is a valid point. It’s understandable. But the idea that people are trying to justify the lack of a new power based off the idea that is hard to balance is lazy. I’d be more understanding hearing “We don’t have the resources right now” than “It’s hard to balance and no one wants new powers.”
The DCUO development team is probably the least transparent of any developers i've seen. There is zero communication to tell us that they are severely understaffed and training new hires etc, we know this because its plain as day to anyone with a few google searches. *IF* they would actually be up front with the community about why there is a delay on projects it would go a long way to restoring that kind of faith. I have no clue why they wouldn't want to be transparent about subjects like this
I would have actually loved to have quantum as a healer power. You could have played around with time mechanics, simply setting back health to a ceartain point in time, or maybe making it so, that damage is applied slower or smth like that.
another idea surley would be another ring power for healing, tho i agree with you, i have a hard time seeing any new ways to heal.
As for troll, id say "wind" or sound would fit the troll theme. tho for wind youd have to rework flight, wich id do anyways (and the other movement abilities).
And for tank serum seems interessting the way you described it.
I fully understnad, that its pretty much unfeasible for the current dcuo team to work on 1-3 new powers, but damn would it be fun to explore some new stuff in that regard
Well, I'm really not sure if the guys who originally designed the powers wanted them to be stuck with DPS or one of three other roles. Nature has all sorts of stuff that's... not healing. Fire has a surprising amount of healing... for a Tank
@@marhawkman303 I think natures unique design as a healing power is really nice tho. Same goes for fire, really all of the tank powers, in terms of variety between the powers and the way they achieve their tankiness.
@@chadbanner5452 I play Ice, and damage? lol, damage is for lesser beings. :D I can tank an Alert and take little if any actual damage. Shields are adequate to soak it all up.
nature and fire should switch roles
Making a whole new powerset would be so much work it wouldn't even be funny. There are so many numbers and systems working in tandem in the background that the chances of a new power seriously breaking the game in some way is incredibly high! I seem to remember Water healing was quite broken-OP when it first came out. They've balanced it now, but it's still pretty damn strong!
The people begging for a new power are probably the same people who beg for the devs to "make the graphics better", as if it's as easy as turning up the volume dial on a stereo or something. It ain't that easy!
While I would love to see a new power set, I think for now the more sensible option would be to either add new Iconic abilities, or at the very least, keep adding new artifacts that buff existing Iconic abilities like Freezing Breath, Gag glove and Sonic Cry etc, or introduce new artifacts to buff certain movement abilities such as Swoop attack and Whirlwind attack from flight, or Forward Flip, Backflip kick and Launching Roll etc from acrobatics.
That could at least make more 'Iconic' loadouts more viable in endgame, and it would be a lot easier to tackle one ability at a time, rather than suddenly introduce 30-odd new abilities in the form of a new power.
When I started playing dc I remember rage celestial quantum etc all dropping within years of each other munitions and atomic dropped within the same time frame and water after ur the reason dc isn’t getting any better ur coping for the devs
@@glidergoku Oh fuck off mate. I'm not the reason DC isn't getting any better, the lazy devs are!
You're conveniently forgetting that when those powers came out, the original dev team who built the game were all still in place. Those powers were probably in development while the game was being made, but weren't quite ready for release. Nowadays we've got a completely new team of devs who don't know what they're doing. All the 'new' powers came out within 6 years of the games launch. It's been over 7 years since water released. This new team clearly aren't capable of much.
Not to mention, the playerbase just isn't there anymore to support the dev time it would take to build a new powerset. FFS, it took the devs about 8 months to scrape together the current barebones episode which the old team could've pumped out in 3! The game only has like 400 concurrent players on Steam. Not all of them are going to switch over to a new power. What would be the point now? The game's on its last legs.
I literally said I would love new powers. I just have zero faith that the devs are capable of doing it, and not fuck the game up in the process.
Off topic...when are you goin to dive into pet dps'n...great vid & happy holidays
I would love to see a blue lantern power but it will be a healer role I think that would be cool
I suggested black lantern power for heal, try find my original comment coz I think it would be a really good idea
@@SighedDCUOblack lantern doesn’t fit healer scenario at all. It would be another rage type tbh.
I completely understand balancing powers as a priority, the staff shortage and issues in game should be handled first.
With all of that said IF a new power in the future was a serious option then I still want my Cerum Tank power that got shelfed years ago. It was based off Bane.
They said they stopped it to not promote drug uses but they show, theft, lust, murder and killing in the game and that through this entire argument for me out the window.
I'm still personally want my Cerum Tank power
I think they should at least update and add unique animations and moves to all current powers then
I can see what you mean. It was more of how the new powers worked and how to use them that got me back to dcuo. Like rage with there self healing tank role that I loved and was praying that they'd one day bring a blue lantern core power out with a unique Mechanic too 😅
“When water came out everyone switched then switched back” sounds like bank to me
its only $10 to switch compared to 100's of dollars for arts, allies, time capsules, booster bundles
Space power would be cool, imagine having a huge jupiter planet aoe on floor underneat enemies. 2-3 planets crashing into eachothers, rockets colliding in air, a black hole that swoops up enemies, supernova as a finisher, satellites colliding while a voice is shouting "Housten we have a problem" xd
Also imagine the blue lantern healer role serving its purpos like the commics, for xample. The ring heals but also bolsters the green sntern powers. Imagine the group and priority heal also boosting weapon or even powers dps for 6 seonds while also healing you. That would be a power house.
I think dcuo going to make new artifacts correlating to the existing “ iconic powers” power tree
We really need a new power bro
major graphics upgrade first...
Dcuo could expand the iconic powers tree
Time and money will always be the factor..
I want a Source Energy powerset
Yeah they mine as well make that a power because of how many episodes that are dedicated to source energy
@@Orahso IKR LOL, i already have everything source energy related on my character except the supply drop and source energy henchmen
They should vote on the three powers that people want.
I wish Evey time a new power comes up an old one would be free like rage earth electric ⚡ ECT...
Well if they can't do a full power set, perhaps they could add to the legacy powers (heat vision, wonder woman's lasso, etc).
As someone who used to play and had the disc on PS3, it's a shame they haven't added any new powers. (Before water was added)
I've heard way back when about wind, Blue lantern, and shadow powers. (Wind is totally possible with the fx in the game bro, we have some wind abilities)
I can't figure out how the game has made it this long with such a limited set of powers.
There are so many ideas for powers out there yet they move at a snails pace to get anything worthwhile in the game
2011*
So, here is what I would like to see, if there’s never going to be another new power set or something of that nature, it would be cool to see the serum mixture to where you can be electricity, but use water shields, or celestial shields, or even the water and use bio capacitor! I think that would be really dope to where you can mix and match powers, depending on your powers set.
Just Made Up a DPS, Tank, Heal, Troll Powers Here are the abilitys Feel Free to reply and say if its good or bad powers

Personally I wanted like a elastic man power but I will say this i came back to the game about 4 years ago and in that time they have only destroyed anything the tru to fix like nature, venom wristband then you have bow mastery
I think that if they were to make a new power it should be black light (black lantern), it should also be a healer powerset as we already have a lantern power for tank and controller roles. Just to add something that I think would be cool (might be unbalanced) is if they add a resurrect supercharge for the 10,000 cost one since black lanterns in the game at least give off the whole vibe that they are kind of dead so it would be a nice touch.
_They wouldn't give us Black Lantern Power over the Blue Lantern 1st_
But
_Black Lantern Power would be cool tho_
I know this is an old video, but they should just keep adding more superpower skills to the already existing powersets. It allows the dev team to get more creative with power animations and possibly introduce new mechanics for each power.
That's no surprise, I'm expecting more styles...I hope
I'd love it if we could change the colour of the lightning effect for super speed movement
It would be nice on the villain side
Of things if the water power set
was actually dead water
But one can dream 😂
They have to tie new powers into big expansions like destiny 2 but the way they have there membership now makes no return in investment for them 15$ a month and unlocks everything
Hopefully they’ll fix the speed trail. Because I can’t even see my speed or the trails for my speed that I purchased on the dc marketplace
Everyone asks because the ones we have now are tired or not appealing or just boring and dry now lol. Most folks who look at Dcuo bring up the aging graphics and then talking about we need new powers .
I say they need to step on it and balance what we have, it shouldn't take almost 5 damn years to balance them but that's also a moot point because the right arts and allies can make almost any power shine.
The fact remains if DCUO really wants to shine they need to update these graphics and have a new power set or a few to show it off but at the same time it would be nice if they can at least add new abilities and new iconics to all current powers .
Dcuo should be much bigger then it is they keep with this same Cycle of content and no new powers or graphic revamps this game will never be really popular .
Also to add IF the TEAM can get bigger then hell yes go for it but if it remains small then hell nah lol it won't work out. They need more devs to even attempt to have different groups work on episodes , updates, New styles etc and having a small group already try to do a power set nah impossible with a tiny team .
The devs should be clear once and for all about that then. They should tell us something like "Guys, no new power will ever be released, because of this, this and this. Wer're sorry this could be a letdown to many of you guys, but it is what it is. Make do with what you already have.". Crystal clear, no "maybes" no "never-say-nevers"
Crazy how they won’t add a new power when it’s literally a cash cow for them💀💀💀
1 new time capsule or booster bundle would bring more money than a new powerset and it costs dcuo nothing but a couple employees time
Completely agree fix pvp, fix the redundancy, fix and update the powers we have..
They need to add blue lantern core with healer role and fix th celestial power to split it depending on your faction. Like light for example. I you a villain you get corrupted powers, if you a hero sanctified powers.
Like our said. We have burst debuff etc. How about blue lantern damage buff plus healer. A hole new take on healer buffing also DPS of weapons or powers without being controler
Serums could have used three main lines. Buffing defense. Dazing or fear status effects. I see a lot of scarecrow potential jokerish toxin cosplays
They owe us powers.
I get what ur saying but that's not entirely fair towards all new powers I have a feeling the reason more people don't use water is because it was more built for healing rather then dps and since the dps is lack luster it makes most of the players not interested. Plus how long it takes for a new character to get up and running artifacts and skill points are so time consuming I think it henders people from making new characters. Plus air is a weak power to go for instead we should get Black/White lantern and make them a dps/healer. Black for villains and white for heros. Then focus on the dps side first to make it really solid then make those moves heal a decent amount on the flip side. Easy and everyone wins
What needs to be done is an adjustment to the damage for all powers in the game for example atomic is trash in DpS when it comes to precision none of the abilities it has is worth a crap. Sorcery the abilities soberage and the other one needs to get changed from being a hit miss to being a explosive on target as soon as it hits igniting the other following balls that travel
The only powersets I really want to see in this game is Star Sapphire and Blue Lantern powers. I believe this will draw many new players, and perhaps even old players.
Ooh, serum sounds very cool the way its getting described. I wish I had been playing that year to at least put in a vote ha. Oh, and for the drug reference; I'm not entirely positive what the comic's called, but there is one about how venom is like a highly addictive drug, and Bane has a character come in and help him get off of venom. Something happens with Batman, and it gets interesting. Don't quote me, but I think it's called; "I am Bane." Please don't spoil the events for people in the comments. Anyway, if they do decide to at least try another power, I sincerely hope they do serum. I'm starting a new main, prec dps, and I feel like I can't figure out the right power for it (leaderboard aside.) Another thing I wish was more balanced was the arts; I have access to six artifacts that mention prec, or weapons, none of them are used for prec dps PvE from what I've been reading and hearing. It's always strat/transform card and grim. I understand why, but still... Maybe a new art that's similar to isis where it adds new animation to neo venom boost? Idk, let me know how yall feel? Maybe I'm asking for too much.
you and i diffrer on this one brother. I think the fun in the game is playing the diffrent powers and finding ways to make them work.. after all this time the content is all the same each dlc is very much like the last. they already made us wait like 7 months from the last dlc so their great at milking the time line already .Its friends and time spent that keep us playing longterm.
I would enjoy a ballance shift and rework it be great i mean eog completly altered nature. but its probably easier to work on a power than that whole system rework. I mean my league and i have all been playing forever and i seriously doubt they would play as much if they couldnt power swap to try out new things.
Now to me a rework of my favotrite part of the game PVP would be the best focus, if i was in charge of DCUO. bring back the rock paper siscors in all matches 4v4 and higher. i miss those mechanics. and whatever else it needs to be sucessful. it was a huge part of the community to me eariler in the game and its sorly lacking in todays game
I got an idea, hire more devs 😮update the game instead of limping from one dlc and booster bundle to the next
they've been trying, there has been job postings on their website for like 6 months. No one wants to work on a game that is 10+ years old besides fresh out of college people looking just for any experience
@@ObsidianChill yeah that’s tough , limp along we go then
Batman venom was the only true drug addict story with the venom drug and bane and Batman.
They need to fix all powers and adjust EOG.Tanking doesn’t feel the same and trills are just batteries.Healer supers hot nerfed just because of freaking EOG.I agree with what you said on EOG balance and I’m hoping they adjusted and super speed the balance the powers because some of them are good just be of high skill points and artifacts and that’s sad
Man, unfortunately I don’t agree, not everything is about profit instantaneously, it’s about sustainability and long term success. If your theory is accurate, at 2% of players actually using the new power, we have to see what is the % of people coming into the game as a new player or old player because of something as different as a new power set. I see this thread everywhere this conversation everywhere, the DCUO community is asking for it, if your community is asking for it, it’s smart to listen, That’s what most successful companies do, you listen to the consumer as much as possible.
Also, the company only focusing on DLC’s or a new power, is absolute BS to me, a company making yearly what they make, simply hire more people, expand your staff and deliver a product to your consumer, DC Is extremely repetitive and innovations like this should be a no brainer.
I am a 10 year old player who took a 7 year break and I did not come back because of a DLC at all.
Just simply compare it to other popular MMO’s and you’ll see the difference of powers/classes.
What is do agree with is wind being boring and won’t cause any attention at all, it’s about bringing something cool into the table that you can also use towards the marketing of the game.
Again, this is a conversation we had a long time ago and it’s still happening, innovations should be happening all the time.
Power revamp, power animations, new powers, new weapon combos and etc.
I just want a gawd damn weapons pass or supercharge balance. Nothing will spice up this game more, for me anyways.
Not a fan of the idea of serums, it just doesn't fit the whole...Exobyte story imo.
But then again neither does hard light or rage...Anyways, I think we're missing a healer blue lantern.
And a orange lantern that could do a mixture of shapeshifting like nature in a way + pet summoning.
Besides that I don't really want to see more powers, but more abilities and a higher level, we're still at level 30? Come on...
But if they were to do anything REALLY inventive, they should add the ability to customize your lighting and effects.
Powers yes but I mean more...Global, the visuals itself, make dcuo look noire or like Simpsons, change the saturation/gamma/occlusions on command of the player.
Or why don’t they do like a powers animation revamp or something. Make the powers look more flashy. Lol it’s 2022 about to be 2023 and we still got animations where it look like I’m throwing a baseball at the enemy😂
“ I neeeed the venom” sound like a fiend to me lol
if they added spider web type of power set everyone would use it probably
All I ever wanted was Nunchucks for weapons. At least release more weapons and fighting styles.
We need poison power (green), air powers (white) or change color of the powers.
It’s funny but he is right, I never see water power in a raid… lololol!!
Give us ant man power or a flowing power or buffing up the player power for example like bane but make him be able to get big in change his size
whats so hilarous every populer mmo, creates new powers constantly no excuses. wow death knight/evoker recently ff14 sage/reaper. the truth about dcuo they put 0 money in to it and make it as plain and boring as possible. they know the 2-3k of people playing it are addicted and will buy stabilizers constantly to be the no1 player in the game to have a even more plain and boring experience no grind intended.
I remember atomic waa supposed to be Banes power set but it didn't go as planned so they changes it to atomic...😂
They should give us the ability to change the color of the power
I was hoping for a chemical super power but that is just too much to ask for apparently:(
they need to balance and fix old powers first and agree a new tank power would be the most needed one
I would def be down for a revamp at this point to add some extra juice to the game. There's really no excitement to dc anymore besides when content first drops then it gets stale after a month. I normally don't like revamp but I would def be on board or atleast power adjustments.
Are the devs plan on doing anything with powers in 2023?
powers I am not sure about, they want to but I think they are reworking more artifacts before they do powers.
@@ObsidianChill Why the delay? People been asking for power adjustments for years now, not artifacts. Unless they plan on adjusting all the art swapping then I don't see what needs to be reworked.
@@rockjm9876543210 training new devs makes up for a lot of the time difference
I am so done man. Been playing this game since launch across pretty much every platform and they just haven’t introduced anything to keep my attention. Knowing they aren’t even considering adding new powers is a slap to the face man. It’s a shame Lego DC super villians have better powers for characters than this game does. At least give us plastic man/stretchy powers!!
New power will bring more people back and quickly but won’t keep them around for long, while revamp will bring some and probably keep as more around longer
ObsidianChill can you make an updated Celestial and Electricity might build pls.
