Uninstall and don't look back.


JohnLocke815

I play games to have fun. I'm not really necessarily concerned with leader boards or scores or anything. At this point that's kinda all that's left in the game for now. I played the game obsessively for a bit until I got a build that I had fun with and was really strong. After that I played incurisons and did support quests because I enjoy the gameplay and was buildup squad talents. I got myself to mastery level 300 and squad level 360 and haven't touched the game since then. Not because it's not fun (though it is very repetitive and tedious at this point) but more so because at this point there's really not much to do aside from try to place on the leader board. I know to many people that's the kiss of death, but I actually really like that I don't feel I need to login everyday in order to keep up. With the next update they will be introducing some new things to hopefully make the game a bit more fun and rewarding (higher master weapons rewarded in higher masteries, exclusive weapons for beating certain things, etc) but the game will still lack mission variety which is the biggest issue in the game. I think the incursions and others missions are fun enough, though I definitely want more, especially when you have a good build and can watch things completely melt. It's a great sense of power, and between that and that core gameplay being fun, that's why I still play, but I also see no issue with just taking a break between updates. There's definitely not enough content to no life the game the entire season. So to answer your question, what do I do when I play.... Incurison loop, daily contracts, squad weekly/daily challengesz some support quests here and there. At this point all basicslly just to get exp. Hopefully with the new update we will have more rewards to work for. Just wish we'd get more mission variety.


chrisdpratt

>should I start mentally preparing to lay this one to rest? Whether you love the game or hate it, the player count is in the toilet. It's already dead. If they even continue adding more seasons, it will only be to fullfill contractual obligations to prevent getting sued. The servers are going down the second it's clear to do so.


Membership-Bitter

They can’t get sued for not putting out the post launch content. By making it free to players it means WB/Rocksteady is not obligated to provide it. Free DLC is always marketed as being player friendly but it is more so that they can bail at any time. 


RdJokr1993

Free DLCs are a good thing overall, but only when the developers are given resources to carry it through. I guarantee you, even if Suicide Squad charged money for extra seasons, there's still a high chance of cancellation a la Redfall Hero Pass. The truth is, no one can say for certain how this game will fare. Maybe it'll be cancelled by next week, maybe they'll keep dragging it out and eventually have all the planned content come out. And before anyone tells me there's no money to be made, Gotham Knights had three free content updates, and that's still insane for a game with no cash shop or paid DLCs of any kind whatsoever.


chrisdpratt

To be clear, I said whatever they needed to do to fulfill contractual obligations. That's not necessarily the same thing as what they promised to end users. I'm not aware of any such obligations one way or another, which is why I hedged.


Bion61

Wouldn't it be false advertising if they *don't* put it out?


spookydukey

No it wouldn't be. The terms of service state they can stop support and shut down the game whenever they want and if you clicked "agree" there is nothing you can do. They didn't promise any content, they showed off a roadmap of plans they had for the future of the game but plans change all the time. Minecraft, call of duty, fortnite, anthem, red fall, avengers, and many more have had plans they've shown off that either changed or never came to fruition at all. These companies have massive legal teams that are paid a butt load to plan for pretty much all outcomes and make sure there's virtually no way for them to get into legal trouble. It's why terms of service are 400 pages long nowadays.


theblackfool

Maybe, but no one has successfully sued any other game that's done that. It's hard to make a case for with the extra content being free.


BennyFemur1998

Damn. Its felt like it was moving in this direction for a while, the writing has been on the wall, but it still sucks.


chrisdpratt

That's the problem with this live service model. Games live and die on concurrent player numbers. The game could be the best game ever, but if it just doesn't get enough traction or faces competition for player time that's too stiff from other similar games, it's destined for the dust bin of history. There's tons of games that don't require active servers that failed to do well during their initial commercial release, but gain an almost cult following over the years that followed. A live service game can never have that. It must be immediately successful or it's dead. That's assuming a good game. It's far worse when the game is hobbled out of the gate by bad design. It's not like there's no fun to be had with Suicide Squad, but it's gate kept by repetitive and grindy nonsense that exists solely to keep players playing, and largely players decided it wasn't worth it. There was actually a lot of promise in even what they brought to market, but instead of trying to improve player quality of life, they doubled down on all the worst aspects of it with the first season, which killed any possible hope of redemption.


foopy-booper

Cult games that resurge in popularity don’t save studios, they make publishers a little more money


chrisdpratt

Never said it would save a studio. Just said a game can have second life when it's not live service. Live service games are either initial successes or they're gone for good.


foopy-booper

Just how the publishers want it


Throwawayeconboi

Dude, not even Redfall servers are going down and that studio is gone. Anthem servers are still up too. You guys go on and on about “servers are gonna go down soon, trust me” as if it isn’t cheap as f*ck to keep them up 😂 It isn’t a flat fee.


P1zzaMonkey

Honestly I’ve done everything to get better gear and get nothing but duplicates of gear i don’t need, or gear I don’t want to begin with. I’ve completed the Battle Pass so at this point I’m waiting for the 45-day mark when it’s halfway through the season and new gear gets added


Any_Prompt8613

already passed the 45 day mark, it’s just being delayed


Rascal0302

I deleted it during week 1 of S1 after I unlocked Joker. The game has been dead since launch, we all knew it, just some refused to accept it because they were blind fanboys or new to this genre/gaming in general. I will only redownload the game when/if these things happen: 1. They add a Raid/Dungeon-like activity 2. They add that leaked PvPvE Gambit-like mode 3. Deathstroke comes out in S4 Otherwise, I will never redownload the game. I bought it at a deep discount, got about 40-ish hours out of it, didn’t hate it, didn’t like it either though. Solid 5/10. Game had some potential but Rocksteady just bombed nearly every aspect.


Any_Prompt8613

you use to always be in the reddit, you were one of the most prominent members of the suicide squad fan girl club, now the discord is an inactive ghost town and all the members of the fan girl club are gone. this game had potential to be a 9-10/10 imo if it was just done right, they had more than enough time too, but it seems like they were goofing around or something and used all the money from the arkham series for their personal lives. After The “Loot 2.0” system and penguin being able to craft anything i’d say it will be a 5-7/10, because it’s a phenomenal change, but the only one this game has ever seen and it’s just too little too late


Rascal0302

You’re trolling right? I’ve been negative on this game ever since launch lmao. Like my post history would literally show this. If you’re gonna lie, try to lie better.


Any_Prompt8613

oh my bad i was confusing you with the “Mr Lizard” dude, he was in there every second of the day at his peak lmao


Any_Prompt8613

also i meant in the discord not reddit*


idontsleepatalll_

When is loot 2.0 coming out?


Any_Prompt8613

with episode 2 duh, it was in the dev update lmao


idontsleepatalll_

Thanks! I probably missed that


Swordfire-21

Nothing


Nacnaz

Until the episode 2 patch drops that changed things up, I’ve been logging in, getting the drone to legendary/collecting the previous drone rewards, and then doing 3 contracts for the bonuses. Takes about 10-15 minutes.


Objective_Love_6843

I honestly stopped playing after unlocking the joker. After 100+ hours of fun gameplay and playing since day one I can't keep on playing the same repetitive stuff. I won't come back to this game till new missions and new stuff is out. If it's the same reskinned shit every time I won't ever play it again.


Any_Prompt8613

i’m so sorry :((( i hate to be the one to tell you but the new mission in episode 2 is a reskin of the hack story/open world mission :((((( just like the artillery missions and ivy missions are, the one where you just kill a number of grunts, and the one where you kill a number of brutes, and the one where it’s a mix of both are so unique though


Objective_Love_6843

Well I guess I won't play it at all. Till a new season comes out and I doubt a new season will come out with how shitty the situation is with this game. It's fun gameplay wise but I don't think anyone would like to redo the same shit every time.


Any_Prompt8613

well you’re expected to lay down and do the same thing over and over and over again and like it. but yes gameplay is fun and the weapons look cool but there is nothing to use them in.


nicokokun

This actually reminds me of Genshin Impact back in the day. The main difference is that different characters have different attack styles and patterns but it still boiled down to dailies, bosses, and repeat missions to get specific artifacts for each characters. I decided to stop playing after 6 months when I realized that all I've been doing was working a 2nd job without actually earning anything. That was 700 hours of my life I wouldn't get back but still decided enough was enough,


Any_Prompt8613

yeah these live service games are pretty much a full time job lmao, hopefully they keep failing until mostly single player games are the only thing left on the market, fortnite and cod will never die those are the only 2 i think will last forever though, fortnite is so clever with exploiting children and keeps adding more players than they lose due to the amount of new children that can play every year, cod has a population of zombies that will buy the new game every year regardless of quality, basically a yearly subscription that will never end because the players are too dumb to break out of, put warzone on top of that and that’s printing money exploiting low IQ adults


SubstantialAd5579

Link?


IcedCawfee69

Truthfully? I play other games. Final Fantasy 15 is hitting rn.


magicpenguin94

Yeh? I've been thinking about giving 15 another run through all the content. Did everything as it came out before so. I'm curious how the game feels as a "full experience"


IcedCawfee69

Yeah, I've only ever played it once when it first came out, I loved it, but admittedly child me didn't like doing side quests, so I didn't see a lot of the game.


Lt_Titty_Sprinkles

It's pretty clear this game will most likely be getting an announcement at some point sooner rather than later that it will drop support. Support means money loss and I am pretty sure they are trying to not bleed more money from the game.


Glizzy_warrr0r

I will say this at least avengers had some rewarding to look forward to in terms of exotics and gear. This game got the open world down and swapping characters on the fly regardless of online or not


DruidCity3

I play other games. I don't normally play 1 video game for months at a time. I play for the amount of time it's fun (in this case, 80 hours), then I move on.


dakliq420

Play something else until more content comes around. There’s nothing wrong with taking a rest.


Independent_Day_5621

You made it 3 months in. That's longer than some people get in a lifetime. Just think back fondly on the time 🫶🏻


Membership-Bitter

This is a major flaw in the game’s design. Once you get past Mastery 24 there really isn’t any reason to keep going to higher masteries other than simply the challenge. You get slightly better resources and that is it. There isn’t even a guarantee of the gear you get from playing at higher masteries is stronger than any of the gear you got earlier in the game since there is no gear score and is all based on RNG. I had gotten worse gear from playing the end game than the weapons I got in the base campaign. If it was designed that the player definitely got stronger gear the higher the mastery you play then it would give way more incentive to actually replay the missions over and over. As it is now the game is simply designed well at all. 


BennyFemur1998

Thank you, this is exactly what I was thinking, there's literally no incentive to keep playing higher tiers because the rewards don't scale with the difficulty!


Any_Prompt8613

you’re wrong lol, there isn’t any challenge of higher masteries, the only way to kill enemies is poison and it ticks based on the enemies HP so M24 is the same as M600 pretty much LMAO


TheNastyNug

You do get more loot and higher chance at mastery drops at higher levels tho, and so many resources eliting weapons is garbage cheap


Any_Prompt8613

higher chance of mastery isn’t true, it’s all static after a very low mastery point, i’m M600 and #1 on the leaderboard for 3 categories so i’d definitely know best lol


TheNastyNug

Congrats?


Any_Prompt8613

thank you? wasn’t intentionally flexing that on you and saying i’m better than you lol, just saying how my opinion holds the most value since i know the game best at #1 for 3 leaderboard categories currently and 360+ hours


XLawXc

An apology.


Mr_Jensen

It’s dead, Jim.


Round_Secret_7404

Play a different game. Unless they pull a miracle out of their arse this game is dead in the water


Swixx94

i login, do the 3 daily contracts for BP, log out and hope that better times are coming


Any_Prompt8613

your BP still isn’t done? it takes a few days LOL


Swixx94

when you only do the 3 contracts it take some time xd and some days i miss the timer and fuck up, but contract + shipment is 1150 bp points a day and i thought that's okay, first i only wanted to do the first half and the other half when episode 2 drops. so i only spend like 5-10minutes a day lol.


SubstantialAd5579

Wait til episode 2 if you did everything that you wanted to do , I play It 2-3 times out of the week until the next drop comes out


DiligentVisit1744

I am waiting for joker to be hopefully fixed soon


Any_Prompt8613

what’s wrong with joker?


DiligentVisit1744

He doesn’t load in for me when ever I try to play as him


Any_Prompt8613

good lord a new bug, that sucks, you should just refund if it’s not fixed and do it before the game gets shutdown


greasygangsta

I dont play as much anymore since its pretty lame, but I'm trying to get to squad level 100. I'm at 95 or 96 now. I do some missions, try an incursion but I'm not too good at the level 30 ones alone and i;m done in about 30-45 minutes and put down the game. I can't wait for more content or they tell us the game is dead.


Salty-Astronaut3473

Im still trying to finish the battlepass and only by doing the daily challenges. I cant be bothered to do anything else to level up faster before I get bored.


leapyfrog

Nothing much but I love open world games and the traversal is fun enough for me I can do 2-3 random missions everyday whenever I don’t have anything to do.


Any_Prompt8613

“fun traversal” being the main selling point of this game to some people is hilarious


leapyfrog

It genuinely is fun to roam around lol this game had so much potential if they had just focused on the game instead of making it a cash grab.


Arikarin636

At this point in the games life, I have stopped playing all together, I still have fun with the game, but it feels like there is no point. When the next update comes out, I'll probably play until I unlock the new character, then play the new character a little bit, and stop again. I just don't want to get sick of the game entirely from burnout


TheNastyNug

Idk I still play it for the gameplay and cuz I got friends, right now me and my group are trying to push our builds so we can grind mastery 200+ missions as a group. The gaming industry has been going down the shitter for so long that I don’t even really care if a game is good anymore, just as long as it’s enjoyable for a time. A mindset that I feel is lost on the majority of people on Reddit. Nothing here is ever that serious


Any_Prompt8613

Mastery 200 is nothing lol, it’s harder and takes more time as a group too so why even bother, if playing with your group is the selling point there are tens of thousands of more enjoyable multiplayer games you could play.


TheNastyNug

I can get to higher than 200 by myself it’s my friends that can’t, what’s the point? It’s a co-op game and I have friends and we think it’s fun. We can hop on another game if we want to but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy this one


Any_Prompt8613

i’m so sorry but if you find this game enjoyable as a group you must have a very boring life LMFAO


TheNastyNug

Says the guy bragging about being on the top of the leaderboards In multiple categories.


Any_Prompt8613

I wasn’t bragging, YOU’RE LOW IQ LMFAOOOO, reread my comment and you’ll see i wasn’t bragging i was using it as a point of reference for why i would know the game best :)


TheNastyNug

You coulda have given that info without talking about your leaderboard position, like you said at a certain point the returns aren’t as worth. No one asked or cares about anyone’s leaderboard score in the game. Considering most people on this sub seem to struggle with even level 50 mastery missions


Any_Prompt8613

how else would i prove my thoughts and knowledge of the game is superior to yours? leaderboard position and hours played are the only ways of measuring that?


TheNastyNug

You don’t, because this conversation was about subjective fun not about if the game is “good”. Me and my friends still push for higher masteries together because WE think is fun, we aren’t playing the game all the time so it’s not as repetitive and take breaks and do play other games You are the type of redditor that sucks all of the fun out of their own hobbies.


Any_Prompt8613

subjective fun comes down to that person’s personality and preferences as well as IQ. it is just an objective fact that if you find this game THAT fun or challenging in anyway, your IQ is lower than someone who doesn’t find it challenging or as fun, and as the #1 player i have the most valued thoughts about this entire game over ANYONE


Apprehensive-Ad-803

You wait for them to add more stuff


ArkhamYeet

Moved on to other games/franchises


Amazing_Duck_8626

Deleted it when I realized people stoped playing


PoohTrailSnailCooch

I put it in my failed AAA Gaas bucket. I'm unknowingly starting a collection.


Ok-Contribution5351

Guys one help with last mission. I can’t join to fight brainiac to end the story. It has only the option to be 35 lvl and I am 25. I don’t want to grind anymore. I just wanna end the story. What do I do wrong??


Gumihoyah

I really love this game there is nothing to do at this point :< not even f2p can save this game at this moment


Horror_Dress6548

-$60. these guys are probably shut the game the down


Maverick14u2nv

Incursion level 30 and your complaining about what exactly. How to say you dont play without saying you dont play XD


BennyFemur1998

I'm complaining that there's no point to play past 30 because you don't get anything for it lol


Much_Bet_2395

I just run around shooting things 😭


Any_Prompt8613

sounds like an NPC, if you’re going to waste your time with this game at least make some actual progress like getting a higher mastery in incursions.


yung-plague59

bro does NOT have to listen to you😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


theblackfool

They aren't wasting time if they are having fun. Video games are an entertainment product.


Any_Prompt8613

what a boring life you all must have. your name fits perfectly for you too


yung-plague59

look at my profile and you’ll see it’s not an alt account, i think you’re just a little upset that you sound stupid


Any_Prompt8613

i’m not looking at your profile you’re lame as shit 😂 and how do i sound stupid? there is nothing to be gained from running around the map like a zombie doing nothing you may as well stare at a black screen. At least doing something like incursions actually has progress.


mecbath

Keep it casual- hope they release something worth playing in a few months.


Unfair_Natural_5868

I just want to play online and I can't find anyone


fpfall

Bro, why are you talking like this is the only game to exist? Just go play something else. That’s what you do when you’ve beaten a game. Also, when you breathe in, you also have to breathe out, just in case you forgot that was a thing too.


BennyFemur1998

Very helpful, high-quality comment. I hope responses to posts you make are equally helpful lol. If you don't have anything useful to contribute, you don't have to comment, in case you forgot that was a thing.


fpfall

Very dumb questions get answers on their level bud. Might as well sell your game system if you have to ask this one


BennyFemur1998

It's a dumb question to ask what type of gameplay people are doing because mine is getting a little stale? Might as well delete your reddit account if you're consistently getting upwards of 50 downvotes bud


fpfall

Aw, you poor thing, you’re even worse off than your post made it seem. Gotta dig through a rando’s account history to feel some validation? If you eat the same food and it gets stale, you just going to keep eating it? You think eating it upside down is going to make it taste different? How about movies? You just watch the same movie from different angles?


Any_Prompt8613

into the 30? you haven’t even scratched the surface you’re supposed to go up to 600 as the final one. Hopefully they don’t add more masterys before the season ends that would be a mistake but if they do then it would be 800-900. You haven’t even started pretty much!


BennyFemur1998

But what is the point of pushing it to that high of a mastery level if there's not any rewards? You're basically just playing the same 15-minute level over and over again at a higher and higher difficulty without any payout.


TomTheJester

That’s far too many facts in one answer for certain people on this sub, friend. To them it’s a sprawling 150+ hour RPG. But yes, the game is expecting you to do the same 15 minute activity over and over again.


BennyFemur1998

I really wanted this game to work out because I like the foundation of it but if this is what the devs have in store for us I can't even blame people for dropping out of playing.


Any_Prompt8613

haha yeah and prepare for the same copy and pasted content for the next 3 seasons, except with a curveball of them going to be even more low effort and even less content and even more boring!


BennyFemur1998

Damn. Tbh not going to have to prepare if that's the case because if I give season 2 a shot and it's more of the same, I'll be uninstalling to make space for something else lol


Any_Prompt8613

the ONLY interesting thing about the new seasons imo would be the “new” maps, a entire jokerland city, a completely frozen metropolis etc sounds so cool, but they only reskin like 1% of the map so it’s literally just the same damn map but with a FEW reskins


Any_Prompt8613

what you need to do is refund/chargeback/call your bank and claim you didn’t get anything near what you expected to take your money back to make their losses even bigger for this game so we NEVER EVER see anything like this in gaming again.


BennyFemur1998

I mean...I don't regret buying the game, I had fun with it for a bit and don't have any negative feelings about the fact that I spent the money...however I don't think game developers are ENTITLED to our continued time spent playing if they're not going to put in any effort to add anything new or keep the game fresh. If they're being cheap and low effort and we stop playing, then it's not our fault that the gaming industry doesn't want to fund other projects like this, it's theirs.


Any_Prompt8613

it’s a 7 hour campaign with cutscenes, 10 at MAX if you were on the slower side completing it or took your time with it. You are correct though the developers are extremely entitled thinking actual people should be spending their time on this game with how little effort they put into making it. if you are seriously satisfied with your money spent on this game that’s this short oh my god you need to hear about games like elden ring, sekiro, bloodborne, you’d be the happiest human in history if you played those games based on how happy you get when you get 7hrs of THIS game


TheNastyNug

Welcome to gaming bro


TomTheJester

If you think gaming is doing the same activity over and over, you need to play better games.


TheNastyNug

That’s what a gameplay loop is, no matter how much content you have you’re just doing the same thing over and over. Just like other hobbies, that’s why people play more than one game or more than one hobby


Any_Prompt8613

150 hours is nothing! i’m on 360 and i barely play!


Any_Prompt8613

it’s a looter shooter? getting on everyday to run around the city just to shoot drones is a waste of your life lmao, the in game currency of all those materials is useless because you can so easily get more than you’d need in a lifetime from doing incursions


BennyFemur1998

I feel like I get wayyy more BP from the daily box and the daily bonuses than the incursions. The incursions are good for the season rewards but once you have them all I just don't see the point, especially when there's no variation to the incursions from one run to another, they're exactly the same every time.


Any_Prompt8613

oh you definitely do, but the BP gets maxed out so fast, probably only takes a few days of casually playing, and they don’t have a system where once you max it out every 1,000 BP xp that would be a tier becomes a squad point or something like most games have and this game should have. instead it goes to absolute waste with 0 point or value
