No. I think that's what I'm missing at the moment, but then I can't think of a way it'd be in the game.

Think I'm going to ride out the 30 days, can't see myself subbing to play this one. As a game its great, but as an MMO it hasn't really grabbed me.

When there's a power and it lists different things under Damage and Control, does that mean the Control stuff only works when you are in Control mode? What about powers that list a power without a headline and then a different one under Control -- do you have both when in Control?

This game is dying for a decent manual and even a strategy guide with maps and the like. The mechanics are so simple and often fairly well thought out but so many of them aren't even explained at all or just too vaguely. I checked Amazon and even the stupid strategy guide doesn't have maps.

this is my dude btw. the dudes in this game are awesome. so much variety (and most importantly nice-looking variety) out there it's impressive i like seeing what others have done

Get a controller if you get the PC version or use a DS3 with MotioninJoy if you have one.

PS3/PSN Title updates have so far each clocked in at 135MB's, most of the patch data (~2GB's) is actually downloaded in game directly from SOE's fast servers.

Thanks :)

The info from my friend in the next town over said PS3 patching was still painfully slow :( (we're in the UK)

I will grab this on the PC tonight, should hold me over for a good long while.

The first description without a headline is tied to neither role and is basically what your power will do no matter what role you are currently in.

Anything under Damage Role/your specific support role is tied to that specific role while anything under Power Interactions are usually either a buff tied to other powers or a role specific buff.

Do the Bounty enemies drop any rare equipment? (purple items)

The items you get for beating them are pretty poor...
Click to expand...
I am level 30 and have only gotten 2 epic drops the first was Ravens Hood and the second was in the end game.

I have found that a lot of the green items are better than the blue or purple. (Although the first epic was pretty low level)

Yeah the item stats don't seem to be extremly varied, I think im mainly interested in them because they are unique items, the one's i've heard people mention are: Robins belt, Supergirls boots and Mr Freeze's Cryo tank (Obviously your raven's hood is a new one)

Servers down boo.

Does anyone know how to trigger the "Welcome to the Watchtower" quest? I did it on my first character and I don't remember much about triggering it except walking around and it randomly starting up. Wasn't even my first time there, I was level 9 or so and just remember thinking this should have been something that started up as soon as I entered for the first time.

I think you get it at level 9 every time.

And I still don't know my way around the Watchtower.

An unforseen issue has resulted in all US servers coming down. The Team is deploying fixes immediately and we expect the servers to be back in about an hour. Forums are also down at the moment, due to the massive number of players trying to log in there - they are in the process of being restarted. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working hard to resolve these issues!

it took me a while too, but just remember where the wings are in relation to each other, also helps to click on the watchtower tab itself in the map screen so you can see the whole layout instead of just part of it.

Any good places to play around with stats? Obviously, nothing like WoW, but I'd like to go and play around with builds. The current Wikia is pretty lacking, but a good start.

I have no idea what Cheat Code Central is but it looks like they have the first review of the game, at least the first ranked by metacritic:

http://cheatcc.com/ps3/rev/dcuniverseonlinereview.html

Score: 4.4
/5
Click to expand...

and this is why people don't review MMOs before it ages a bit: "Its only major problem is that its player-vs.-player modes rely too much on button-mashing."

all i have to say is... LOL. Yes, against brand new players it's a mash fest, but as of yesterday I've been seeing people use block and block breakers a lot better, to the point where it's almost an even fight between a lvl 11 healer and a lvl 5 controller. Obviously more than 8 levels the damage outputs would be too different, or at the milestone skill/equipment levels, but still, nothing button mashing about it... and he finds PVP boring... o_O

So Pc-Gaf what server is everyone on?
Click to expand...

Check the original post.

But, I'd suggest Virtue and Vice even though their aren't a lot of GAFers on it.

It's the unofficial role playing PvE server and it's pretty populated.

Just wondering, how are the role playing servers? Is everyone completely acting in character at all times? I'd find that kinda funny and cool at the same time lol.

This is what I want them to implement.

1) Alter egos.
2) Non-hero environments
3) Homes

Why? Because I think those would be the best environments to implement crafting skills. I want to see my hero doing hero stuff, and occasionally I want to see my alter doing basic stuff.

Figure out a way for my alter ego to have his own, non-super toon (even if it's just by providing us with the ability to purchase REGULAR clothes), throw in crafting and housing...and I'm good.

Isn't the PC version also $10 cheaper. That's a good portion of an additional 30 days of gameplay. Give the PC some love.

I think the problem is that there just aren't enough Villains queueing up to accomodate the Heroes queueing up, which seem to outnumber them by a bit (I'm playing both sides).

Yep, my characters name is the same. Feel free to add me if you like. Always looking for fellow GAF members to add.
In the beta the legends pvp worked fine for me now it doesnt. lol

Seriously. Mashing is the fastest way to get your ass kicked. Combos work and if the guy you're fighting doesn't understand the importance of blocking, buffs, interrupts, or recovering then it makes fights laughably one-sided. When you see a nature/healer/bow clown a tank/ice/brawler with a 3 lvl advantage, then maybe you should assume that there's more to the game than mashing.
