Finally get a day off and the servers go down.

The game is pretty good though. Feels like a cross between Crackdown and Prototype.

Now that sounds interesting to me. I really like how Crackdown plays. Anyways, I haven't been completely sold on this game, but I'm getting closer and closer to giving it a try the more I keep reading comics (I just got into it recently) and reading coverage about the game.

Maybe one of you can convince me to get it.

Hah i was the other way around. This game gave me the final push to read up on the DCU...
So far i've read Identity Crisis & Infinite Crisis, Blackest Night ... reading up on batman and i cant wait for flashpoint.

Oh yeah Young justice also helped in getting into the comic side of things.

I'm feeling the same way. I have had Long Halloween on my shelf for a while, but now I want to check out a lot of other stuff like Green Lantern/Aquaman etc..

I don't know if this has been posted but for the folks who like MMOs on the PS3.

Everquest 3?
http://nexus404.com/Blog/2011/01/16...3-could-everquest-3-be-heading-there-as-well/

When asked if the game, which is currently under the working title of Everquest Next, would be coming to PS3, SOE president John Smedley said, “Can’t comment on that. All I can say is we are a Sony company, and we are very, very proud of the work we’ve done on DC Universe Online, which is multi-platform; and we are very, very proud of the work we have done on The Agency, which is multi-platform.”

Just got Cyborgs hand cannon to drop from the titans encounter, a level 24 epic hand blaster which is a 1 arm cannon. Has stats equal to a level 30 solo blue so pretty nice weapon. Main perk though -- I can now make a MegaMan costume <3

Attention Heroes and Villains!



We apologize for the unexpected server downtimes today. We're working on expanding the capacity right away and there may be brief interruptions because of these efforts.This is estimated to take several hours while we make configuration changes and add additional capacity. We are sorry for the growing pains, but they won't last long!

I haven't delved into DCU yet, I've mostly been reading Marvel Digital Comics (not a bad deal btw, $9 per month and you get a ton of comics) and Atomic Robo.

With that, I want to get into DCU. Can you give me a good starting point?

Maybe a bit. I bought my copy at gamestop yesterday and they only had two display copies left (except for collectors editions) so i had to take an opened copy. And then when i logged in yesterday for the first time all servers had the pop listed as high.

Also seems no matter what for new mmo games or even just heavily online games with significant server-side infrastructure the first few days all companies under estimate demand. Must be cheaper in the long run to scale up post launch if necessary rather than have unused capacity or something or youd think it wouldnt be so common.

Costume done. I am really loving how easy it is to change appearance and have them not look a total mess. The head is the Epic drop from Brother Eye I got earlier. Personally I prefer my Sentai Villain look. Now I just need to find the Insectoid style hands.

Well, here's the stuff the DC Universe team was assigned as reference material for the game, apparently. A lot of it is really good in general, and I'm reading through some of the stuff I've never read while saving up money for the game.

I regret choosing Acrobatics. Flying was so much easier to get up and around things.
Click to expand...

did you get to level 9 yet? at that point you can pretty much fly with acrobatics anyway.

Yeah pretty sad with the poor situation so far.

I bought it last night and was planning to play it this morning(left the download up all night).

But even before the servers were down my game crashes every single time at the character creation(right as its about to start).

Any idea how to fix this so I can actually PLAY the game I bought today? :(

The Movement Skill tree unlocks at lv 9. The first power you can buy for an acrobat is a glider that will let you glide through the city.

So I've tried using a controller with this game and it feels very natural...aside from the atrocious lock on. With PC all I have to do is hit Tab and it locks on to an enemy no matter where I'm facing. Unless I'm mistaken in order to do that on a controller the lock on button needs to be held down? Which makes using other powers/abilities/moving around awkward while holding that button down since there's a lot of L1/L2 R1/R2 button pressing going on to be best at combat. Am I just missing something with the controller lock on system?

Yea theres two things you can pick from at level 9 for acrobat. Rocket Glide (you could already glide at level 1 but this makes you go faster and never have to touch the ground if you want) and the other is some sort of grapple hook that lets you climb buildings or something not sure about this one because I haven't tried it yet.

Grapple hook is really cool too. You just have to stand next to a building and hold x for a grapple line to pop up and zip you away.
