So bloody excited! Reserved my PS3 copy at Best Buy today to get the Bladed Batarang, and got my pre-order box with DC Universe Online Legends #0 comic inside!

We're getting close, folks!

Pre-ordering the Collector's PC edition from Gamestop tomorrow! Gotta catch em all!

 

[vazel]

My friend really wants to play this game but he's real cheap about the subscription. Does anyone know if we can share my account? Like I get even days and he gets odd days? Do they have lockouts for that sort of thing?

I can't imagine they'll be able to enforce it that effectively, but I would be surprised if it's not against the game T's & C's.

The lack of beta news is KILLING ME!! AAAAAH!!!

 

[Jmac71]

I'm not deluded enough to think I'll get in beta in the first few rounds of invites, but I'm really interested for it to get underway to get everyone's impressions of the game. Everything so far has been good, but I'm ready for some meat!

The problem with that is betas normally come with a nice nda preventing impressions.

Yeah, these companies are pretty good at working out who you are and banning your account pretty fast if you do break the NDA as well.

 

[BobTheFork]

My Beta sense is tingling!
No?

I'm hoping my beta luck continues and I get in on the first wave.

So then is Universe set before Final Crisis? I WONDER.

 

[krypt0nian]

I think it's supposed to be kind of a blank slate iconic universe that they will build on from launch and not really synched up to any specific time or era in the DCU.

Oh I know it normally comes with an NDA but sometimes the devs will relax it a bit once they get further in. I'm heading to best buy to preparer my PS3 copy tomorrow. Lol, I'm also getting the CE like krypt0nian. I can't wait!

At least I'm not alone in my craziness! :lol

 

[BobTheFork]

I'm at least going to wait until I play the beta before I commit. I want to be sure I can play it on a long term basis.

Makes sense. The way I figure it, even if I don't play every day like the last MMO, it will always be my goto game. That alone is worth the buy in for me.

I'm sorry I was thinking of something else
When is that Q and A tomorrow?

 

[Ephemeris]

Wait. I have to preorder to play as Batman?

These Baiting MF's...

no you don't. You can just play as him earlier.

$5usd. Even if you forget and never pick it up, what are you truly out?

I preorder if I want the bonuses. Otherwise I count on impulse buys.

no you don't. You can just play as him earlier.

Actually I've heard differently. That this will be the only way to play Bats. Trying to find the link. The others will be earned with in game rewards, etc.

I thought they went out of thier way to say that the bonuses could be gotten in the game, it would just take time.

[Chaplain]

Is there a date for the beta yet?

 

[Killthee]

3 P.M. PDT.

 

[krypt0nian]

No. But SOE Fan Faire is this weekend so cross your fingers!

I'm not a big fan of MMO's. I think I'll go ahead and preorder, even though the odds are I won't be playing. Unless I get in the beta and it's good!

No. But SOE Fan Faire is this weekend so cross your fingers!

*crosses fingers and toes*

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Fan Faire began today and they're having a community address tonight at 8:00 P.M. to announce new stuff. Hopefully the beginning of the beta is part of that address.

Arrrgh! I don't suppose any sites are liveblogging this?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Massively.com might be doing a live blog but they haven't said anything about them being there. They usually live stream it every year but they haven't said anything about that either. Might have to wait until its over and someone writes a report on it.

 

[BobTheFork]

9 minutes?
Let's hear it.

 

[krypt0nian]

I'm keeping my ear to the ground here for the live stream...

Here's hoping!

That doesn't sounds like 'new information' at all

Yeah, I can't imagine them announcing the beta there at all. They might bring it up of it's announced at the community address, but otherwise I doubt it.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Sucks that they aren't streaming the community address this year.

Well if that's going on now then maybe they will talk about the Beta then we'll hear about it on the podcast later.

That's probably what's going to happen. Time to wait. /sigh

I have a nagging feeling they wont announce any details until Gamescom : /

I have a feeling we'll hear something at the DCUO panel. Supposedly everyone who attends it gets beta access as well.

Starts on the 18th; Sony conference on the 17th.

thanks. And nice pic of WW.

I wish she would go to that leather Greek armor instead of her bathing suit bottom when she gets her costume back in the comics.

 

[Xater]

I have been thinking about this fucking Fan Faire for the whole day already. Man I hope they announce when the beta will start...

 

[KZObsessed]

I just saw the E3 walkthrough videos of the combat system. I thought it looked great, it's like an action game, lots of freedom, rolling, jumping, flying etc just what I was hoping for.

Hopefully I'll get into the Beta.

 

[Jmac71]

Man I need this game. Last night, I was trying to justify flying to Vegas today just to get a swag bag from SOE Fan Faire. There are codes in the bags this year... :lol

 

[Jmac71]

Here is a pretty good video of some PVP using created character.
