    If anyone wants to roll a PVE hero and group up every now and then, I have Admiral Heat on Darkness Falls ready to accept friend requests. I'll get a PVP hero going on D&G after this guy hits 30.

    Should be plug and play. Make sure you hook it up before starting the game.

    Also, once you get your dominance up in 350+ range, you not only are useful for your power restoration, but you are useful for crowd control. Once you're able to trap bosses, you become a near necessity for boss fights like the end of arkham asylum

    Daaamn. I have to respec my mental/handblast dude for dominance. Does it make sense for me to put skill points in a second weapon for its dominance points, gain it through equipment or both?

    I'm specced in Staff / Dual Wield so I can get the dominance bonuses out of both of them, the rest is through dominance heavy equipment.

    You don't have to, just pick up the controller and use it. It switches context information depending on if you've last used the keyboard or controller to play the game.

    I'll use the controller to play, then use the keyboard to navigate menus. No need to select anything or log out or change any settings.

    As you can see from my Steam DDgamer sig, I've been playing the shit out of this.

    I am still really confused by the power system, as far as what's good to take, should I be taking iconic powers, how deep in my movement tree should I go, etc, but I'm starting go figure it out. Luckily respecs are relatively cheap.

    My problem was user error. I didn't realize hitting "T" switches your role. So now that I have that sorted out playing as controller is fun times. Being a dedicated true utility class is great, something that other game was missing. Truthfully, I am really not a fan of the DC world and stories but this game is doing a good job of keeping me engaged, shitty UI and all.

    Ah poo, wish I'd known there was some kind of concentrated PvE heroside effort. I rolled on Zero Hour because I got sick of being camped on D&G, but it feels empty sometimes.

    I'm lovin the game. Got to 24 on my Ice villain already. Thinking about my next character. May end up being a controller. Mental seams fun, and I'd like to give being mentored by Circe a shot. The Joker is awesome, but Circe seams to have much broader evil goals in mind. Her quests are some of the most entertaining to me in the game. It's also nice constantly destroying the Titans.

    Well, I found a couple of quest givers near the bee things and between those and the level 8 quests, I got to level 9 and WTFOMGQUESTS came in from ervrywhere! So I went to Gotham, beat on some people there, accidentally did the distribution center one twice by picked up a quest giver quest for it before I got to it on the chain. I was just about to go into Bane's hideout with Nightwing when I called it, got to level 11 I believe.

    So all of a sudden I'm experiencing the lack of sound issue. it's only on certain mission maps though. The mission I'm doing now is
    Gotham University vs. Felix Faust
    and I get no sound inside... walk out the door and there's sound, just none inside. annoying.

    Unless the power works differently in PvP, the mentalist's disguise power changes your appearance into that of either a civilian or a scientist (you get the choice, as each option is its own power option that you can slot into your loadout). Thus, if it works the same as it does in PvE, I don't imagine it would fool anybody. I believe Gadgets gets a more stealth-like hiding power, though.

    So those on the PS3 (or playing in general) a few questions.

    1). Can you voice chat in lieu of sending a tell? What does it entail (I don't have my book with me at work).
    2). Where the hell is Black Adam; I want to buy more Legends characters. Tired of just Harley.
    3). Is there some sorta nasty lag associated with the friends list / tells? I tried to send a tell to dirt Carcass / Doc Fosforo last night, and I don't know that they ever went through.

    In my case I didn't get any kind of message about an invite, but I was experiencing some issues with the server that may have contributed. I had to restart a couple of times last night, once due to a crash (which sucked because I was doing quite well in a Legends match at the time), and the second time due to my character never stopping the interact animation after scanning a computer in Bane's distributor's warehouse. I was hoping these kind of issues had been mostly resolved, especially since things had been going so smoothly since last Saturday’s patch.

    Also, I ran into an issue when fighting Bane that I'm not sure if it is due to a glitch or if it is by design. I've taken Bane out as a hero before, but when I went to do it as a villain he seemed to have a permanent regen effect. I'd have his health down quite a bit and then all of a sudden (usually around when he goes after a pillar) his health would start moving back up until he was at full again. I eventually had to bail to get some armor repairs. Is this a glitch, or is it one of those fights where you have to outlast him (he does need to be there for the heroes to capture, after all)?

    You are disguised as friendly in pvp. Ive been disguised and walked around in enemy territory



    Also, anyway to see the levels of friendlies you see walking around? Anyway to see their powers and what items they have on?

    1. No. At least not yet. When it was working Voice chat worked on Group and League level only. You had to group with a person to chat with them.

    2. First one is free as they say. You get Harley (unless you preordered from Gamestop) and then you have to earn PVP credit doing matches to buy the new Exobyte data for the higher level folks. I think the vendor is in the Hall of Doom Grotto area.

    3. There is an ongoing issue right now. General League chat is down and friendlists, etc are buggy. They're working on it.

    Fell free to friend me on the PSN if you have any more questions or need help.

    The music in this game is annoying, repetitive, and at times just BAD. This normally wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that turning the music off and using Pandora or iTunes seems to kill ALL sounds in the game after a loading screen or two.

    I'd also love to learn how to scroll through the Journal. I have about 3 quests to turn in that are not on the viewable list. Also a abandon quest option would be great.

    1) Can I see the numeric value of my hp and power in the top left where the bars are?

    2) Where the heck is the exp bar to show how close I am to level? (granted I didnt read the manual)

    3) How can I see friendly people's stats? Like is there an "inspect" option to see their powers and what they are wearing and what level they are?

    4) Can I move the combat window to its own separate window not connected to the chat window? I like to have chat in the left side and combat on the right side so I can see both.

    1) On your inventory page there are tabs. One of them is stats, that shows exact numbers for your health/power and different stats. Now way to display them on the bars that I know of, though.

    2) The exp bar is under your action bar

    3) I don't believe there is an inspect function

    4) No way that I'm aware of. Chat is barebones to say the least and shows no real sign of imminent improvement.

    Ug, then why the heck did they even make a combat log? I guess if everyone on your team is in vent then you can watch the combat log. Seems really silly. Do the dev's even post in their forums?

    There's one that I've seen a fair amount, RadarX, but other than that, not entirely.


    And like I said, the chat system was the last thing they bothered with. If you can believe it, the current implementation is actually an overhaul they put in like a week before beta ended.

    It sucks, but I'm kind glad they decided other areas needed work first. You know, provided they remember to come back and fix it.

    I've only just done the tour of the Hall of Doom last night, but I think the machine that sells the chips is next to Catwoman in the Grotto area. Also, you'll need at least 10 Marks of Legend to buy anyone new.
