[FREE] [PC/Consoles] DC Universe Online - Amazonian Conqueror Style Pack

No, it should still be the same mess* of a game. They mentioned doing a content and graphic overhaul several times in the past, but have backtracked on it each time, and that's the only thing I've heard about the game getting any kind of meaningful update- well, or rather, not getting one.

According to stats, current peaks of 1500 cross-platform players a day, 800-ish cross-platform average daily players, with 350 average daily players being the portion of which is from Steam. Compare that to a Steam peak of 17k concurrant players, and the fact that the game was already considered largely "dead"** by its fanbase, in terms of server population/activity (as well as due to the fact that updates started getting delayed in 2022 due to "staff shortages"), when the game had twice its current steam population two years back.

In short, the game is clearly never*** going to get an update, it just seems so unlikely for them to overhaul a heavily depopulated 2011 game at this point, especially after they already gave up on doing so several times before.


* Game had an excellent cosmetic/gear system and above-average flight mechanics for the time of release, but pretty much everything else was massively outdated or underdeveloped from the game's initial launch. Terrible, bland, repetitive instanced encounters, severely underdeveloped combat mechanics, horribly underdone bland and empty environments, terrible flow, UI issues, progression confusions, etc.
I think they did improve end-game at one point, at least, so at least there's maybe that? They also added in a survival mode a couple years back and made most content free at one point, but that's all the major changes since release that I'm aware of.

* * Daybreak Games, the publisher of DCU (as well as Everquest I/II, Dungeons & Dragons Online, Lord of the Rings Online, Magic the Gathering: Online, Planetside 2, and probably more), has a habit of leaving games running far longer than most publishers would (I think they even acquire games right as bigger publishers are about to close them to keep them up?), so there's actually a not too bad chance the game'll remain up so long as it remains even minimally profitable.

* * * Game licensing to DC IP apparently doesn't end until 2030, according to one source I found online, so I mean, technically anything is possible.

Taken. Thanks for posting, it saved me setting up an account on the site.

Thanks!
