It appears to be a "lost weekend" with the DCUO, with:
1) No bonus weekend whatsoever - no bonus coins, tokens, or anything for that matter. Thus, no real purpose to log into aside from the trodden weeklies and knock out the dailies... if that.
2) The endless Winter event - One of my least favorite seasonal events, as pretty much everyone who has played the game has already done almost all of the feats associated with it. Also, the base items are frankly pretty lame.
3)
Possibly the weakest Episode in the past couple of years - Metal Part II (Thanagar) is a huge disappointment (to me). Loved Chaos Gotham and Metal I (Metal Gotham), but Thanagar is likely only interesting to those who like Hawkman/Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman, etc...
The newest set of Episodes have not been announced yet, but I pray that they are better than Metal II.
4) No post-Christmas sale - previous years have had great post-Christmas sales. Heck, I had loaded some coin onto my account in anticipation of it. But we got... an "extra" 5% discount for Legendary members. Gee, thanks.
Soooo... it'll mean more time doing other things than DCUO... like working on the blog! Still, there is hope for the immediate future:
1) The Anti-Monitor Anniversary event returns on January 7th - In my eyes, a 180 degree turn from the mind-numbing Winter seasonal! Love the Anniversary event, as it has a lot to engage in, and the Anti-Monitor Boss is usually well balanced (challenging, but beatable). Arriving on Tuesday!
2) The DCUO Anniversary and gifts - Not exactly sure what will be involved with this, but I'm hoping that it'll be worth the wait... heck, I'd take a good sale as a gift!
With the Anniversary event arriving, and keeping my fingers crossed that there will be a worthwhile schedule of upcoming events, I'm going to just catch up on some football until the 7th, when things will be interesting again with the DCUO.
