My other two characters used a staff and martial arts.SpiderJerusalem said:
In close they're nice, but if you're more accustomed to keep away, spacing, and all that good stuff then the rifle is your buddy.
(Also, I've got a bad habit of mashing from Ultimate Alliance - the fact that you can just move the stick to roll switch from combo to combo is a big plus for me).
I'd love for more details on powers/roles though...

Now that you mention it he kinda does. The head / Feet are very sentai villain fitting. Also I just got my first epic! Brother Eye dropped it for me in a duo, man it looks stupid, turns my head into a mini Unicron thing (that world eating transformer egg).

read previous post WonkyPanda did of a mmorpg.com post about fighting explained. Its a rock paper scissors and you can't rely on one attack or block, as if you constantly range attack, i'll just flying axe kick you which will result in stun, then unleash my mental DoTs and go into a kungfu frenzy
Again thanks for the repost WonkyPanda, last night I was killing multiple villains 4-5 levels higher than me. Ran down buildings super speed and jumped into my civilian mode, knocked off 1/5 of their life with my sneak attack, and countered/broke all their defenses/attacks after.
We really need to get a Legion going on Death & Glory, alerts are so much more awesome when they're organized or done with people who are talking to each other.
kind of a silly question, but how do you click on elements of the screen. like for example there's a notification area that is now on default and it looks like there's stuff under combat but i don't know how to get to that tab same for the little mail icon (pc) thanks

Redemption (at least) is up!
Outside of the one skill point you need for interrupts with the rifle, everything is else is centered around knockback/stun/roll+spacing. In any PVP fight bigger than 2v2, a controller/rifle is a bitch and a half. Being able to drop mortars from the air is just dirty.icechai said:read previous post WonkyPanda did of a mmorpg.com post about fighting explained.

And so starts the long bitter process of PVP balancing! It took WOW 6 years to start getting it right :\

im back on feel free to add me.
Ahh, the joys of starting a game early on. Got one of my favorite names, time to see if I can't grab some more.
I haven't really played at all yet, but I love the character I ended up with. I spent like an hour and a half making my character and then I alt-tabbed out for some reason, and the game seems completely incapable of recovering from that

Its pretty balanced atm, nothing seems to outshine anything else. The way pvp works makes it very hard for 1 thing to be 2x better than something else, its all about learning what you should be blocking and what you should not. The main problem with pvp is that 2v1 you will get stunlocked to death everytime and certain weapons are better in pvp than others. The ability to dodge and block attacks makes balance alot less number dependant and more skill based.

IIRC 6. Because of how the weapon combat is too each character you make has alot of replay value, since you can always respec into a new weapon to use when you get bored with the only restriction being getting the weapon you want to use. However luckily you can do some pvp and buy one from a vendor (its level 24 blue but its better than nothing).

Bah, spoke to a GM about my level 30 flier feat/trophy issue, and he said at this time they don't have the ability to reward the feats to players so I'm basically assed out unless I do it again.
...time for my 3rd 30!
EDIT: @ below, check the On Duty menu. There'll be new Instances (Arenas, etc.).

I really like the feel of this game. My only problem is that my controller kind of sucks. I was using a PS2 controller, but for some reason the game doesn't recognize the right stick properly, and can only read it as doing up-left and down-right, which isn't very useful
Now I'm using a Logitech thing which is generally fine, but the analogs have square gates rather than circular ones, so it's really easy to turn way faster than I intend.
I've made two characters, but I'm about to remake them as I think their names would better fit on each other.
Here's the one I've been playing, a Gadgets/Brawling Robo-girl

The video they posted was wrong. You're given 16 character slots per account on the PS3 and probably the same number on PC.ChronicleX said:
Exit all the menu's -> Press Y on the keyboard or open your menu and select the On Duty menu (the fist) -> Alerts -> Queue up for an instance.JWong said:

So what exactly is up with how long it takes for the game to load?
I get stuck at Waiting for Character List for way too long.

I decided to make another character and as much I dont want to admit this, I did not realize I picked a PVP server. I kept going to the menu to turn it off and was wondering what the skull icon was next to my health bar....only to later find out it was that I had picked a PVP server...lol.
But..that is not the main reason for this post....since I accidently picked a PVP server, I found that it is so much more fun. It was a blast helping others, and then being attacked by villans at random and vice versa. Being low level, I got my ass kicked alot. At one point 2 Level 30 Characters would invade near the heroes Police HQ. We had a bunch of leve 4-12 people trying to fend off 2 level 30's. We were successful twice in beating them down, but there was like 12 of us, versus 2 of them and we all died numerous times...but was a blast.

Is there actually like a manual or anything? I figured out hitting A makes you fly up but I don't think that was mentioned anywhere. Seem to be missing some little things. Steam version btw.
Had fun getting through Grodd's mission so far. This is pretty much purely solo until I figure out the absolute basics like the above.

Is this the first Sunday since it went live? It's probably getting hammered.
