Sorry if this is not the place for it, saw no off topic.

Ok, here is the thing. Folks use DCUO's off-topic to discuss comics, movies, music as-well as upcoming games. As you can see here...

forums.daybreakgames.com/dcuo/index.php?...meplay-video.267615/

Now, little old me was just trying to start a discussion about VO, and up and coming hero MMO that is nowhere near the level of completion as The Division, but this is what happens to any VO thread......

forums.daybreakgames.com/dcuo/index.php?...237605/#post-3572419

This is not anything new, every time someone creates a VO thread in the off topic this happens. People can discuss Destiny, ESO, and even CO, but anything VO gets shutdown, what gives?

I would address the dev team personally about this, but it would just get deleted, lol. We, over at DCUO cannot talk to anyone about it cause it would get shutdown. I wanted to get your thoughts folks? Devs and Players alike, this makes no sense imo.

And no, I was not being offensive, me and some folks were just posting pics and sharing vids, like the other off topic threads. The VO thread are actually the one of the more positive ones over there, no arguing nor debates.

I've never played, nor been a part of DCUO / their forums. I have however been a part of game forums like WoW in the past... years ago before it got so incredibly flame-a-licious. Most game threads were left alone. It did seem like there was a pattern of disappeared threads or comments though if it related to any game or upcoming game that was a little too WoW competitive. Anyone remember a game called Runes of Magic? Well I don't know if it still is, but it was HUGE for some time. It was when I played it. RoM threads did not last at all on the WoW forums. Now after it had been out a while and it wasn't robbing players much anymore... nobody payed much attention anymore.

So although there is no way for me to know having never been to the DCUO forums, I would say that Valiance Online is the most like it that has the most current potential to leech away interested gamers. Not very good business sense to let people build up an upcoming title that looks like it just might be some direct competition for you.

It is just an idea, but VO is the most 'modern' looking of any of the projects out there right now and if you are a developer and can see where something like this could be headed - I sure wouldn't want it being promoted and anticipated in my forums. Leave them to their own discussions and advertising elsewhere you know?

Just got to play the new patched version today. Although I really miss flying, The polish really shows a difference in the way the UI is smoother and responds. Animations, sound effects, lighting, textures are all better and smother. I like seeing the progress and when you think about the idea that this is just now towards the end of pre-alpha, it is not too hard to think where this might be by the time Beta gets here.

Possibilities are endless though. Could be a hater moderator, doesn't like someone that is regularly posting in those threads, etc. lol

Honestly, it is their forums and they have the right to do what they want there.

In the end, it isn't that important to us if they allow discussion of VO or not, though I did a search and found some discussion of VO and other games...

Tough crowd, gheesh, just trying to help. Well, I was just trying to spread the word of VO, and thought a super hero forum would be prefect. Other game threads are open, but official VO threads get closed, was just strange to me. Anyway, these boards are somewhat uppity compared to CoT, CO, or even DCUO, ever since I got here the comments were like that.

I am out, peace, GL with your project. Gonna just stick with CoT, CO, and DCUO.

I don't see where anyone was being tough on you, but these boards are uppity compared to others? Oh you've gotta be kidding me! Don't get me wrong, there will always be 'fanboys' wherever you go, but let's be honest... you have people outright bagging on VO, DCUO, and CO all over the place on the CoT forums. You'll even have a team member over there 'slip up' and bag on VO every once in a while right there in the forums. Then turn around and talk about how everyone should be nice. Come on seriously?

I realize that the activity isn't what it used to be over at CoT forums, hence why I don't check up on it much anymore, but even a cursory glance through the forums will find all sorts of negative rubbish. I think you are perhaps personalizing something a bit too much maybe? Who cares what you like best, and who cares if you found that certain threads are deleted more often than others, while other people were able to find some posts.

The point is, good for you for bringing it to everyone's attention. You got two responses so far that you requested so what's the problem?
Although I tend to be a bit long-winded, mine was pretty much that it could be a competition thing, or just an outright jerky moderator with a chip.
The Aggressively Elegant and Genuine Information System (Or whatever AEGIS stands for) basically said what any forum moderator should - it's not really our business, but on a positive note... look what I found!

Don't take your ball home so early!

Looks like that would be the DC thread about upcoming Superhero MMOs: forums.daybreakgames.com/dcuo/index.php?...266362/#post-3541324

Not much going on in there though.

That explains the 48 backers......

CoT was widely advertised in off topic threads on the Champions Online forums, just constant bumpings of "Support CoT" or something like that and they apparently had a successful kickstarter. I am not saying that is the sole reason why, but the super hero mmos are a niche audience, it baffles me that you would not find that important, especially with only 48 backers. Those threads get closed and never have much activity to begin with.

Yea, those threads do not draw much interest for some reason. I created one in the past, but it was shot down. I am willing to be the VO warrior of sorts, the guy whom would create some threads with links to the donation page. If anyone truly believes they can win without grabbing the interest of the super hero MMO audience, you are dreaming. Super hero online games are not on par with the fanatsy games, it is a niche crowd.

I am not :cheer: , but no idea why some on here have a issue with me being the VO warrior, CoT had a successful kickstarter, and it may have had something to do with folks spreading the word on forums which carters to the super hero crowd. Sure, I could kind of leave them alone, but it would behoove us if the niche crowd knew about the game.

There are plenty of other places beyond the DCUO forums to find superhero MMO fans though. Social media and gaming websites/blogs are more of a priority for us. Not that forums don't have value of course but I personally don't make a habit of going on a company's forums and talking about their competition. Like talking about Neverwinter on the DDO forums (or vice-versa).

If someone starts a conversation I might chime in but there are plenty of other places to discuss such things.

Obviously, in my "professional identity" I would never do it. That's just rude to other developers.

You of course are free to do as you wish and we appreciate any efforts you make. Just please respect the developers of other games... we may even have worked with some of them in the past (and may again in the future). :D

The DCUO forums are not the most respectful place to be completely honest lol. On numerous occasions the devs would get into it with the players, but of course those comments and threads get deleted rather quickly. I will not not name drop. Me and a few others would merely start a conversation about VO and CoT, akin to others whom talk about the Division, Wildstar, and ESO. Nothing foul on our part.

Yea, that is all I am trying to do, provide more chat, because I figured the more places players visit the better. DCUO and CO are aging, they are old. Players are asking for upgrades which the teams cannot provide, I understand that the folks at VO may have friends over there, that is all good, but I don't lol, but no, I am not going to troll them. I am not really feeling the DCUO dev team tbh; as it pertains to the product.

I listened to the radio broadcast, if you guys can deliver on your comments, I can see VO and CoT being the top dogs of the super hero game. Most players will acknowledge that both DCUO and CO do not feel complete, be it character creation, endgame, PVP, sidekicks, solo play or combat. Marvel 2016 is just Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.

Also found some VO topic on this site, but not much going on atm.

forums.mmorpg.com/search?cat=130&adv=1&search=valiance+online

Guess it is good to see others talking about it. This site is strictly for MMOs in general.

At first I was all over DCUO when I first found out about it. MMO in a DC setting? Why not?? Character creation wasn't really suit for me. One of the biggest things that I hated about it was it was catered more of a console game than rather for PC. I can't really get behind games that do that because they either constantly release patches or the UI just isn't as clean. Being more of a Marvel fan I wasn't so fond of the isometric view that Marvel Heroes has.. I'm not really big into the whole Diablo franchise and that was basically it with a Marvel skin.

While, I'm waiting for the next big news between Valiance Online or City of Titans I've been considering looking into Disney Infinity to kill time playing through the Marvel playsets.

I tried to play DCUO, I really did, but the style grinding turned me off. I would rather play a fantasy MMO if the only thing DCUO had going for them was style locking and grinding, as it pertains to making your character stand out. FFXIV had way cooler style options, if we are going the limited creator style lock route :lol: .

They have no content until next year which is awful. DC UNIVERSE ONLINE are free to do what they wish because it is their turf but that is cowardly to delete every Valiance Online discussion. If you are going to have an off topic discussion then have one. Do not dictate what video games players can discuss because that comes off as weak. Good question why are other online game topics open but only Valiance Online gets closed? Even Champions Online discussions are open. Maybe because Champions Online is dead. They don't care if peoples discuss Champions Online. A Valiance Online thread was just deleted today. I clicked but received some error message. What cowards.

Some of you may have thought I was just being a drama king, but behold. Others are finally realizing those DCUO devs are shady and arrogant. A City of Titan dev even spoke on this one.

cityoftitans.com/forum/dcuo-dev-admits-p...-not-priority-theirs

So a DCUO developer actually had the nerve to tell the players over there that character creation is not a priority of theirs? Really? Those Titan people always keep it real over there. they found a new fan in me, it is not about the developer, but players.

I don't know the DCUO devs personally but most devs are hard working people trying to make a living and create something fun, exciting and interesting so please don't let one (possibly) bad apple ruin your view of their whole team.

Would prefer we not bad mouth other games or devs here in general.

Thanks!
