God I want this game so bad now. Only MMO I've played is WoW. How does it compare (or is that too broad a question)?

It's got the typical MMO stands fare (guilds, raids, PVP, quests, loot) but it plays like a more fleshed out Marvel Ultimate Alliance (ie. skill based).
Check out Totalbiscuit's youtube series. It gives a nice look at the basics.

Wait, controllers are like red mages? I might need to restart.

There are six power sets in the game: Fire, Ice, Gadgets, Mental, Nature, Sorcery.
Each power set has a DPS role.
At level 10 each power set gets a second role:
Fire, Ice -> Tank
Gadgets, Mental -> Controller
Nature, Sorcery -> Healer
After reaching level 10 and obtaining the second role you can switch between it and DPS role at any time while not in combat.

why cant I do any of the Legends PVP missions? Do i need to unlock a certain character to use it?
Have you checked your mail? You should have gotten an item that unlocks your first character (Harley for villains, Robin for heroes) at around level 5.AmericanNinja said:

I don't think such resources exist yet. No one has that much of a handle on it yet.

I've never played a mmorpg before, but this game is amazing. I love loot and I love Ultimate Alliance, so this is perfect.
The interface (ps3) is really cluttered and the menus are slow, but over all it's a great game. Is there any confrmation that the main quest lines take 40 hours (I read it in opm)?

Started up the PC version last night and played to around level 7. Enjoying it so far. Lots to learn and get used to off the bat. I went with a Gadget/Staff/Acrobatics specced toon with Batman as my mentor. The name is EvoX on Darkness Falls server I think.
Gotham City is fun to run around in.
In so far as the PVE is concerned, do you usually fight enemies like Bane etc. as part of the ongoing storyline? Or is that raid content or specific missions etc. you pick up?

bane distribution center mission q:
also my first alert (area 51) glitched out -- first a group of baddies was stuck in walls but we figured out a combination of abilities to kill them. then the second miniboss just wouldn't come out. bummer
where is the power source? all i see is this little box thing that keeps exploding when i use it and regenerating and the lever keeps telling me i need a power source

OK the disconnect screen on the PS3 needs to have options to Retry.
Having to Quit and relaunch to see if the servers are back up is wrong.

Turn off vsync and it goes as high as you want.
Picked up a cheap usb keyboard and hope that helps the PS3 communication quandry. Text through the controller is obtuse at best and the game glitches with mic chat so far.
Nightz I'll be glad to help with Bane when you're on later. Will give me a chance to use Healer role. Between the fun of just romping around knocking off missions and the poor communication interface I've just been soloing basically.

The game is definitely better with an actual keyboard of some kind, but they need to remove the damn on-screen PS3 keyboard for when a real one is connected. It's unnecessary and blocks our view completely until we're done typing.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this game so far. There are still some things that I'm hazy on such as what your mentor exactly does, but I'm sure it'll get sorted out soon as I find places for research.
Unfortunately the DC forums isn't being all that helpful right now. The game hasn't even been out a week and there are people acting like elitist jerks on there already. Good for you, you were in the beta. Yes a lot of us are going to be newbish as we learn.
As for the communication, I think I'm going to be using Live with my friends as they get the whole thing sorted out. Is the speech supposed to be private in your party or is it public for everyone?

PS3 version here - I have two characters on Redemption, one is a healer and the other a controller.
I think I've hit the point where it's starting to feel like a traditional MMO (where good tank/cc/healer/dps roles can make or break a group). Some of the later dungeons are brutal without the right people in the right roles.
Healing is hard to sustain without a "good" controller in the group, especially if the "tank" is fairly squishy. Without a controller the power bar just recharges too slow, even if I'm attacking to build up hit combos to speed up the regen (least I think that's how it works vs. the WoW model of standing around waiting for regen).
My Controller feels really cool to play. It reminds me of the old days when I'd run as an enchanter in EQ, except I look so much cooler when attacking/killing things.

The gear doesn't add to the stats of your character unless they are equipped, but the style that the gear was is permanently "collected" whether you own a piece of gear with that style or not, as long as it was equipped at least once.
Is there a way to make players' levels show up above their name or something? It's annoying seeing a villain right in front of you and not knowing his level (or whether or not to attack) until you target them. Also, is it me or does grouping feel very unorganized? The player names over your group members' heads remain blue and you can't tell who is in your group and who isn't unless you are looking at the mini-map constantly.
