No its been known for a while that GL stuff is coming and its going to be AWESOME! (I hope) And with Geoff Johns on the games writing team you know it will be mega awesome. God I can just imagine a Sinestro Corps War PvP event
I have tried multiple times both in DPS mode and Controller mode. I don't use all my power at once, I block, roll, stun the enemy, ect. Seems like I am playing to the best of my abilities but I am being utterly destroyed at level 15.
How is this even possible? Really feel like some of these boss fights should suggest you go in with multiple players. They are listed under solo content but unless you're a specific class, way out level it, or completely cheese it, they seem impossible. I only managed to defeat Bane by hiding on the ceiling which made me immune to the falling rocks, and Harley only went down thanks to the respawning health gas.
EDIT: Right after posting a random guy invited me to a group, he was level 16. Went as DPS and I did Controller, we decimated The Joker in no time flat.

See I was trying to switch to activate my mission when I saw a bunch of people ganging up on Bizarro trying to get a free kill, but didn't seem to get enough hits in to count (I did get the feat accomplishment though).
boooooo pvp booooo
What would be nice is if other heroes who are right next to you would help when a villain starts shit. Everyone's being bat-jerks with their reluctance to help. The level 30's camping the lower level mission areas are becoming a bigger problem, what losers trying to impress the lady characters who were made by some guy who has a Poison Ivy fixation.
Should have completed it.
Well the PvP itself is actually VERY good, but the community... not so much. I had not expected it to be this terrible, but I also underestimated the amount of attention the game would receive.
Also Texi no you aren't too invested. Not even a day of playing my first Villain on Darkness Falls and I'd gotten into my teens, while it had taken a while to get to 20 on my hero. The levels will go by quick when you wont have a bunch of pricks sitting around at level cap camping a lower level mission area.
ALSO! Everyone who is already in the League I'd appreciate it if you would add your names to a different part of said post, that I will create at the bottom. So that we know who is who, and such.

I made a new character. What's the steam channel again?
Thing is, 90% of controller builds depend on thier ability to stun, kockback, etc. for survival, as opposed to healing (Nature, Sorcery, Fire) or mitigation (Ice)... something which most bosses are resistant to...
Have to be more keen on a boss's patterns and tells with a controller power source than you do with healers or tanks if you want to get thier School of Hard Knocks feat.
I'm watching videos and I'm seeing a lot of purple (e.g., mind, hand blasters). And I'm thinking it's silly, but wondering if I could change it.

However anaesthetic makes your pretty much invulnerable and is totally rad.
I believe the colour of your powers are determined by what power type you take, I took gadget hand blasters and my gauntlets shoot a tealish colour.
as you fight NPCs and villains, your bar rises. Once it reaches 100% you get special bonuses depending on your character (my controller pistol guy gets a damage bonus). But like you see you have some that can activate with 50% super bar.
Asphyxiation Gas is spot on for clearing out a bunch of NPCs, or to take on a few people on PVP, really does damage. Follow it up with Anesthetic to heal yourself, you can almost go 2v1 if you time it right. I did the Ultra-Humanite Alert, and their are swarms of gorillas with the boss fight, but you drop Asphyxiation on them and they fall down like dominoes. Amy say bad gorillas.
The skill system needs some adjustments. Getting rid of move pre-requisites and opening the passives from the get-go would be a good start.
Added myself to the list already in the League.

As for Villains on Darkness Falls, you might be able to get someone in the steam chat to invite you, but they don't have the steam group name in their MOTD like the heroes, so I dunno how many of us use it besides me.
i play with a friend of mine and every time we'd go back to the bar thing to turn in quests or sell stuff or whatever, he'd be waiting there... waiting to hit on us.
Negative. Actual powers have set colors, while the color of weapon abilities have set colors that reflect the power set you chose.
So if you picked mental, you'll have purple hand blasts, while if you picked nature, you'd probably have orange or yellow blasts (I think).
From left to right, top to bottom we have Captain Avalon (magic/sword/flying/Wonder Woman), Doc Ulysses (gadgets/brawling/acrobatics/Superman), The Golden Agent (mental/brawling/acrobatics/Batman), Candesce (fire/hand blast/flying/Superman), The Revivalist (magic/hand blast/acrobatics/Wonder Woman), The Stain (mental/hand blast/flying/Lex Luthor), Killer Thrush (martial arts/gadgets/acrobatics/Joker), and Brutella (nature/brawling/super-speed/Circe).
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things (updated 5/28!)
Here we have Furious Abyss (Gadgets/Brawler/Flying/Superman):
And here is Punchkicker (Gadgets/Brawler/Acrobatics/Batman):
My next one will probably change it up a lot more as far as power sets, but my ideal superhero is one that just has lots of gadgets and punches guys in the face.
Also: what's up with so many stun-immune enemies and bosses? No point in playing a controller if none of your most useful abilities do a damn thing in harder PvE and everything seems designed with tanks in mind.
Game is awesome though, sorry for the rant. Finally hit 30 and investigated the endgame. Seems sparse, but adequate for the first week of gameplay, can't wait to complete my gear.

When you eqt. you guy with new stuff can you "hide" your armor so you look like how you do at the start?
hit ESC to bring up the menus, look for the second from the left icon with the little face mask, that controls appearance only, so you can change your look without taking off the equipment. You can even lock your appearance so it never changes.
Sure, why not? Though I wasn't aware there were DCUO forums other than the PA boards to be honest, guess I wasn't paying attention enough. But those issues are still the same from CO. To be frank a LOT of issues are the same from CO (plus a lot less customization), it's why I'm holding off a few months to see what happens before I'm willing to pick it up.
The only real thing I see DCUO having over CO in fact (and mind you this is just my opinion) is that DCUO has 1) name recognition and 2) probably isn't going to run out of a budget and be forced to start nickel and diming people less than four months in.
Now, Sony's promises of constant content updates seems a little unrealistic, but budget-wise they're worlds ahead of what CO had. It basically took every last dime and bit of energy they had available to CO to make a zone addition that, while nice, was 90% door missions with warehouse cleaning objectives to cut down on actual work. And THEN they wanted to charge for it (something that prompted a ton of forum rage and more than a few cancellations).
Honestly that budget and 'big names' is worth far more than the gameplay and content, which pisses me off a bit. Second Marvel pulled out on CO that was basically it no matter what. :?

Forgive the League name, its an old joke between my friends. Half of them are Opera singers and long story short, our clans have always been name OPRA as a dumb joke. I can fill you in online if you care to join up.
The only real requirement to join is that you have a headset. Communication is very important. For the time being, we are just leveling, but will be doing raids / pvp / etc once we all level up.
Msg me in game (I'm bulwark), or shoot me a msg on psn (id: gvandale)
Look forward to playing with some of you!

Ed & Larry : "Doesn't matter."
That would be nice. On the other hand, there are 3 unlocked combos (which is enough to unlock all the passives) in each weapon tree that have a passive bonus on top of a new way to hurt people, so you don't have to spend skill points on entirely "usless" skills, even if you never plan to fight with that weapon.
I feel your pain, my main is a mentalist and all my money also goes towards sodas, then i rolled a sorc and it's easy mode "olol i have 20 adds on this pull that would have raped my mentalist, guess i'll just heal a bit and kill them all olol"

My main is a TK Mentalist as well and I don't really use a ton of sodas (atleast not 4k an instance). I made it through the lvl 30 joker mission using about 10 Soder Cola Extremes.
oh, because I am... that's why. Damn you PA forums!!
I'll also probably just change it to where you guys PM me after I get it set up, so that the OP isn't being quoted every other page.
I'm going to send the op a message and see if he'll add this request in some way to the op so maybe hopefully more people will see it.....
