Yeah I'm tempted to reroll off Death & Glory. It's completely unplayable as a hero.

i've made 6 characters on death & glory and it's not that bad. just don't give up in the quest areas, avoid 30s, and eventually they get bored. There's going to be other people leveling in your area so the chance of you getting picked on every single time in that whole area is kinda rare.

So why in the fuck is there better information about this game in this thread than the official guide or the instruction manual? There is so many things that they do not tell the player and you have to find it out for yourself. It makes it feel like the Dev. team did not have things put together enough for a decent guide about the game.

When will you guys learn that Gerstmann doesn't actually play the games he reviews? He throws them in the machine for like an hour and a half, then writes his review by copying sections out of the manual. He's been busted on it repeatedly, and yet people still seem to trust his reviews for some reason.

How do you leave a league? I want to drop the one I'm in now to join up with the GAF league on Killing Joke. Got a hero healer and a villain controller.

Lv 21 and I am still loving this game. With legends, alerts, open-world pvp, arena, time trials, achievement hunting, and just checking out the city, this game is amazingly deep for a "consolized" MMO that's still in its infant stage.

So is anyone else re-rolling characters like crazy??? I have been through at least 8 different characters so far and I thought I was set with my finaly character and now that I read a bit more from the opening of this thread, I think I might have to re-roll again since I want to focus on healing and using dual guns instead of a bow would give me more regeneration.

Different characters in this game really play very differently and there is alot of differences as you spec out your character.

Currently rolling 2 Villians, 4 Heroes all are from level 6-level 8.

I don't understand the queue for Legends. I've tried like 7 times to queue and even when it says 1 min nothing happens.

The times listed seem totally meaningless. Sometimes I get in within seconds when it says 27 minutes, sometimes I wait 10 minutes when it says 1.

IIRC, you can do it by opening the Social menu -> select your character -> Leave League.

Trying to assemble a decent loadout is seemingly impossible. I can't ever seem to get a decent balance of healing and damage. When in the healing role it is easy, but when you need to cause damage it is difficult I feel to know what does what.

Finally what are your guys thoughts on Iconic powers? I have looked at them a little, but I feel that they would negatively affect my build.

you should try to get all your characters to lvl 16, as the 16 skills really determine how you'll end up playing with them.

again at lvl 16, Healer's circle of protection and final ruin are pretty key in terms of what you do in damage, so that also opens up a different way of playing.

and iconics.. neo venom boost is a pretty strong buff, i think it lets you left cars too. and hard light shield is a huge defense boost. the rest are kind of just there if you don't have that type of power (wonder woman's lasso = gadget's line, superman's heat ray = ice's freeze ray, etc.)

I have. Nothing really seems to work though. I've kept my original character and have him up to level 21 but the others I keep making and deleting as I try to find a power setup that really works. This is the issue I had with City of Heroes and even Champions Online when I first started playing those. I eventually found something to my liking. However here the only one I found, Mental/Brawling, has become boring though.

I don't think I'll be continuing after my free month. Will keep it installed though and if they add new power sets in the coming months I'll sign back up. I like the game overall outside of that. I don't dislike it. This happen with WoW as well. I couldn't get into any of the classes and took several attempts at playing the game before Paladin finally clicked with me. I think they had revamped the talents twice by then. I think this will join STO, CO, Guild Wars, WoW, and Everquest 2 on the list of MMOs I keep installed but jump back in for a month whenever the desire comes back.

I want to get a villain character rolling before the end of the free month though. Haven't messed with that side of things yet.

is there any way to make the game full screen window mode? alt tabbing is a bitch. all i see is window mode, but that's it. i tried to put it to my native res, but it kept breaking doing that.

I just don't understand how developers still make games where alt tabbing essentially takes minutes to get back into the game. it's fucking 2011. manage your damn resources better.

I just picked up Word of Power for my controller... Needed to be able to heal BAD. Some are pretty solid stop-gap solutions.

Gonna invest a point in that +100% weaponization power to see if it gives my telekinesis a boost (like when it lifts people into the air and they get smacked by flying debris... hoping it'll allow heavier stuff to get flung around).

I just respecd again... Gonna try and beef this character up for PvP a bit more. Telekinesis doesn't seem to be the best branch for it though. Illusions seemed to be a little more versatile looking back.

So I've become obsessed with making characters from my childhood. So far I've made Kratos from God of War and Goku from Dragonball Z. I'd post screenshots but I have no idea how.

F9 on PC and the screenshot folder is in DC Game within the DC Universe Online folder.

Not sure but i think theres an option within the game that lets you hide the hud for screens.

Any one-handed weapon users here that have actually been able to equip the Tech Ninja Sword? I've had the sword for ages, but it won't let me equip it as a style - whenever I select it, the game just defaults to whatever was the last weapon style I was using.

That's one problem I have with this game; a whole lot of the weapons look goofy, so while I've got about a dozen different weapon styles, I only ever use one or two, because most of them look really lame.

Congratulations! You have found a bugged weapon style (like I did a few pages ago). That style when used will automatically default to the last style your character had before you switched to it, and everyone can see it too. In short equip any weapon with any style you want, then swap back to that weapon style and you'll use using that weapon as 1H, be it bare hands (Invisible weapon), Staff, 2H, Rifle, Etc.

Its awesome, don't complain!

Yup, most irritating enemy in the game, one pushing you back with the fan, one pushing you another way with the shield and another dropping an anvil on your head, their pushing skills normally mean you agro at least 3 or 4 at a time and get smashed.

My main. Bow/Ice is ridiculously awesome, melee knockbacks, and crazy arrow attacks, especially with the ice weapon skill (which also gives them chill effect, synergies with many other skills that root/freeze and stuff)

To be fair, I have him on my PSN friends list and he played the HELL out of DC Universe Online for a good week. Whether that's long enough to review an MMO is up for debate, but he definitely put in way more than 90 minutes.

I also happen to disagree with his review (and the fact that people are "reviewing" this game in the first place), but whatever. I'mma keep on enjoying it. Sucks for those people who will miss out because of this review.

Agree, maybe he was just idling/ downloading updates the whole time? (im joking!)

In other news there is a new client update for EU PS3, 1.03 - 121MB +51MB ingame update

Found my first 2 epic rares yesterday, both from my first 2 duo's, handwraps of isis and brother eye's helmet (which looks very cool, got asked where I got it from tons last night)

Almost halfway to getting my first part of the frozen fury iconic armor (is it T1 or T2?) think im going to get either the controller back piece or the chest piece, I do prefer the armor brother blood gives out tho.

I'm so excited to see the fixes implemented. Especially with the voice chat on PS3. Thank God they are giving us the options to choose channels.

As Kilthee said, there is a patch and server side maintenance which should be over shortly. Don't know what time the patch will hit but I will likely check around noon EST. I can't wait. The mic issues are the main reason my 3 closes friends and I have not been able to play this. The other fixes as sweet icing.
