The release of the ninth expansion for the free MMO DC Universe Online was not that long ago, but unfortunately not all player groups were as satisfied with the DLC War of the Light as the developers probably hoped. Therefore, the new letter from the Creative Director addresses this issue directly: Future addons are to be designed so that all players feel engaged with the content.
The life of a game developer is often not that easy. You give your best for months to develop an exciting MMO or update while still working economically… And then the big day – release day is here, and not even 24 hours later the support forum is overflowing.
Some find the game too complicated, others too easy. Some feel neglected because nothing new was included for their beloved hobby in the game… and so on. The list can surely go on endlessly for anyone of you who has read player reviews right after the release of an MMO or patch. It sounds quite frustrating when you consider it from the perspective of the people who spent months sweating blood and water over the many details, right?
But once you’ve licked your wounds and read the posts more closely, as a developer, you can also discover a lot that can simply be done differently in the future. The team from DC Universe Online has taken these suggestions and player feedback to heart and developed a battle plan on how they can make the game even more exciting in the future – for all fans!
- In the future, every expansion will include content for small and large groups.
- In addition to 4- and 8-player operations, you can also expect combinations of duos, challenges, and open world components.
- The design of the 8-player content ranges from single rooms to simple to complex raids.
In addition, your decisions during these contents will significantly shape the course in order to make everything as varied as possible. The different difficulties of operations and large-scale missions are also intended to offer additional challenges. Depending on how much experience you have already gained in DC Universe, you will soon have the choice to play a large-scale mission on normal or hard mode. Depending on which difficulty level you choose, this should not only affect the stats of your opponents but also which bosses you have to face.
Sounds great, doesn’t it? We are already very excited for the 10. DLC expansion pack! What are you hoping for?
