The devs have basically forced us to buy (and/or get from Dr. Fate) the Seal of Completion once you get past level 120/140. That means you need about 3 seals of completion per artifact (at 160, 180, 200). If you have 6 artifacts per toon, that's 18 seals of completion if you want to get them to 200. If you buy the 18 seals, that's about $68.50 PER TOON for just the completion seals (not counting the free monthly 500 DC 'bonus' cash or Dr. Fate).

Allies, artifacts, CR levels will all eventually reach a break point. What are they expecting in a few years? 65+ artifacts, 30+ allies and CR level 700? What about in another 10 years? 100+ artifacts, 70+ allies, CR level 1500? 1500 skillpoints? No new players will play. Player retention are MMO’s bread & butter, why would anyone play when they realise what it actually takes to get to endgame and progress? Yes, MMOs are a grind, but it gets to a point where it becomes “eh? I have to spend real money? I have to get skill points to be powerful and some of them are locked behind more paywalls? I need artifacts and i have to pay for seals? Fuck this I’ll go play spider-man” How many whales are there in this game? This isn’t GTAO levels of whaling, I’m really surprised they’re even managing to stay afloat with the constant cash grabs, it’s becoming diablo levels of greediness, but without any actual content backing it. And heres the real kicker, they can’t change any of it without massive backlash from players who have sunk thousands of dollars into the game already. It’s a snake eating it’s own tail situation. Allies came out the gate blatantly cash graby and without a means to an end, release one, the next one or one after MUST be more powerful, same with artifacts.

Honestly an easy fix as well is just some price reductions. Both for art catalysts and for alliances. The grind while tedious is tolerable. It's just affording all the extra crap that is so bad. Even seals. They should honestly at least be added to the daily rewards. We have so many extra days on the login calendar. They really should just add some alliances cats and seals to all those. Maybe for example 7 dionesium for f2pers and for members double that. Add in 5 seals for f2pers and 10 for members. With 1 seal of completion for frees and 2 for members. Especially for alts it's like. Why would i go out of my way on an alt when I'm still not done on my main right?

Thing is now they don’t have to chance the breakthrough system because it’s easier then ever to level arts. I raised 2 arts on my alt, one was 1-200, other was in the 140s to 200. Not once did I have to use cash for seals or nth metal. Dr fate had me covered, I had like 25 of the important marks so I just bought nth metals and seals, maxed those 2 arts and still have like 7 marks to accumulate for the next x2 xp

I'd also honestly like a 4th slot for both arts and allies. I went with Cyborg and DM Batman for my side allies. But i so badly want to add in Batman WLs once I'd get him. And i don't wanna give up my detaunt dodge roll cause it has saved me or a teammate numerous times. Granted the grind is so intense it's nuts. But i think it'd just help a ton to have 4 slots for each to allow at least more uniqueness in our builds. Cause with 3. Most people are running at least 2 of the same arts and allies. And the swap out is just too much of a pain and stuff. So allowing us to just have those extra slots i think would greatly help in a lot of ways. But i also feel that the drop in success rate for arts and the price of alliances need to be adjusted for sure. The grind is gonna be long either way. Hitting a wall that thick after all the grinding is disheartening for most players.

From what I have seen the biggest tell is the 160 breakthrough with ZERO seals. People will see this lie, then dump more time/money into breaking the artifact through than simply buying a seal of completion. It's rooted in our heads to see that number at such a high rank with such great luck; so the naive will do it, thinking with every button push they are the lucky one. Back in the day on my main it took me a year to get one artifact up to 160, as I only used Loyalty points to buy things. I still only subscribe, but now Dr Fate takes care of the rest. These artifact/ally systems have been designed to fill the gap of the player subscription base that would normally pay for them and profits. At about 5k daily players (check any MMO site that tracks players in MMOS), all subs won't cover development costs etc. so another form of income must be found. I don't know the MMO number where that falls off, but say 100,000 subbed players means "we can haz" ALL this without paying for ANY of it. FFXIV Online has zero costs that affect play as the subscription base of 1.5 million people pay for it. You only pay for styles/mounts/glam there, and none of that affects play. We'd need a lot more players to remove these "features" or least get them as they were intended--to provide play we already paid for. We paid for the development of them with our subscriptions, so it is confusing why we are paying for them again. I say all of this because I run 12/16 toons and I'd like to play more than about 5-6 of them after subbing for years now. The one thing that has stopped me playing them effectively is artifacts. Since SP is over now, there really needs to be a better way of managing artifacts since they are the mainstay of the game. Thanks for the video!
@ModeKaioken

Also them being per character really doesn't feel good. They expect you to relevel the same arts just to play a different power. It kind of turns the free boost into them just looking for people to buy more art mats. I think I would be a lot more ok with the system if you could at least swap them between alts. I wouldn't be great but it kind of gives value to grinding the long game but if your power gets nerfed or you ever have interest in another power its another $600 to get capped again. I'll agree it is a lot better then it used to be but even to this day I only level arts to 80 because I can't be bothered to deal with the system past it.

While you do have the test server is kinda annoying to ps players to have also an instalation on a pc (i don't know if using a ps5 controller on pc is the same nightmare as it is to use a ps3 or ps4 controller, all hail the ps2 & xbox controller that windows recognize as a generic controller). The artifacts are trully painfull to understand for new players and for returning players, paying omg....too much. * And now the allies, at least none of the is a total and absolute need (yet).

I really don’t understand why so many of you complain about artifacts, artifacts doesn’t make or break the game at all. All you need is 3 level 140 artifacts to start being relevant and that is not a difficult accomplishment. And you can definitely clear elite raids with 160 artifacts if you have an understanding of how the game works. Level 200 artifacts is a luxury for hardcore players but getting there is not impossible, just play the game get nth metal detectors and put 5$ a month on a completion seal, sooner or later you will get your maxxed out artifacts.

Main reason I don't play DCUO anymore. Way too damn expensive. I don't understand why they need monthly subscriptions and they overcharge the shit out of everything. Greedy gaming company at its finest. Pay to Win or Pay to Participate. A good way around this would be daily and weekly missions that give items such as seals as a reward. It gets people playing content while rewarding them with valuable, QoL material that'll satisfy both parties. Could also add a currency system to feats from which you could purchase artifact related material. You complete a feat, get x amount of currency and artifact material can be purchased with it. Again, gets people playing the game, accomplishing feats as a group, while rewarding the players with something valuable other than gear we're just going to salvage If it's money they're worried about, then raise the subscription price by like $2. It's not a lot for an individual but that extra monthly $2 could generate a lot for the company so they don't need to overcharge market place items
