Sorry for late response but I was off testing some things. Essentially you go into the social tab by hitting triangle when the text chat box is visible. Theres a chat tab which you can click and hit voice on there. Then you simply type the name of the channel that you want ot create. It can be anything. So once you do that you switch to it by hitting the button that says swtich to channel, should be at the bottom. Then you simply go to the person you want to invite via your friends list or whatever and then there as an invite to invite then to your channel. It's worked every time. Sorry if my explanation is convoluted. Hope it helps.WonkyPanda said:
I suck at editing but I will add that there is a dialog box for you to type your channel. I forgot to note that. It works like regular VS, you can still talk to each other across any part of the server.

The EU servers will be coming down at 4AM CET for a brief hotfix to address a few outstanding issues. Downtime is anticipated to be approximately less than 90 minutes. Players may notice the following changes:
Abilities: Psychic Empowerment now properly restores power.
Abilities: Performing a dodge roll will no longer dodge healing abilities.
Challenges: Power Girl now drops loot in the level 30 Challenge Mode for Storming the Ivory Tower.
Faction Rewards: Villain faction rewards now only require Marks of Allegiance and no longer require an unavailable badge type.
Feats: Any feat that requires a specific number of PvP wins should now be granted properly after the correct number of wins.
Trait Resets: If you reset traits while in a different shape change form you will no longer remain stuck in that form.
Trait Resets: All buffs cast by the player character from abilities granted by traits will now be removed when resetting traits.
Trait Resets: Resetting traits with a weapon type equipped that was earned by a trait (i.e. not the weapon type chosen at character create) will no longer continue to give the stats of the equipped weapon with no basic abilities.
o Now all stats will be removed from equipped weapons for which you do not have the required trait.
o In this situation, you should have the same basic punching abilities that you get if you unequip your weapon.
o Purchasing the trait to grant access to that weapon type again will now restore those stats.

*Finally* settled on one character for PvP:
Ms Magic (started out on PvE with Miss Marvel, but SOE changed it to Miss Magic, so I carried the name over)

Heh I hate that I build a character I love the look of, but want to start it over because I picked the travel power that just doesn't feel right with the character
I really need to make and stick with a Controller of some kind. Every time I'm in an Alert, what we are badly missing is a Controller who actually plays as one. As a Healer it especially hurts, because in big battles I WILL run out of power at some point from needing to keep everyone alive.
So far I've been able to hang on, but I'd feel better having more blue bar
Then again, if I play a Controller... will we be missing a Healer? Everyone seems to want to be DPS or Tanks

It's harder to plan on in this game to be good at a specific task. Most players are no doubt aiming at the solo experience of making their character better which usually is focused on damage as default. Many people probably never even plan out their character when buying powers and such for the use in one of the alternate stances.

I have a controller type, but honestly not even sure what it would mean exactly to play it properly...Nishastra said:I really need to make and stick with a Controller of some kind.

On my, last night me and the friend who were having serious mic issues (on his side) FINALLY figured out the problem. It revolves around SIP ALG (or whatever the acronym is) data packets which routers may block. He had a d link and through a few changes through the VPN settins and enabling his gaming mode, we figured out the right configuration. Now, the other solution would be to disable your SIP firewall (shows up like this on Linksys routers). This is a more thorough diagnosis fix but it does work. And his issues were severe, his mic just wouldnt work. It's the only game that does this and we traced it to the Vivox chat protocol which DCU uses. So much research but the fruits laid bare in the end.
And to reconfirm, the voice channel creation DOES WORK in enabling your headset. And even if group chat does not work at first, entering a channel will work and then you can actually re-enter group chat and it works all of a sudden. So much trial and error but it paid off.

Reminder, today is the unlock on the facebook promotion to get the Penguin's Umbrella
Indeed. I don't really get anything specifically for one role or the other either, but function changes so much between roles that I hardly need to.BattleMonkey said:
For example, did you know that Roar from Shapeshifting is actually an area heal in Healer mode?
Admittedly it doesn't even hint at this, but it is. Similarly, Savage Growth from Plants will give teammates regeneration for a while in Healer mode. Basically, anything I do other than use my rifle is useful to the whole team in Healer mode. And, really, it's useful to me solo too. Being able to heal means I'm better at staying alive.
Well, I don't know about "properly", but there are two things Controllers can do that other classes can't. They can restore Power to the team, and they can stun/debuff groups of enemies (pretty much anyone can stun single targets). Both of these are very helpful to a Healer, because heals end up being quite expensive to cast when they're really needed, and having enemies doing less also means less incoming damage and therefore less need to use healsMercury Fred said:
Ugh. Was running the Dr. Psycho challenge mode mission and they just did an emergency server shutdown. Was trying to finish it up before then, but didn't make it.
Boss had about 10% HP left.
I hit 30 last night and I really hope they add more end-game solo content. I get the fact that I'm now level 30 and they want me to use the skills and abilities I've gained working up to level cap to team up with others and do missions, but getting teams together in this game can be a pain. It wouldn't be so bad if PVP or Arenas ever friggin' worked. I sat in a queue for at least 2 hours just now and never got a notification.

I can't post this on the official forums but if someone could post this possible solution on the boards that would be nice. I didn't explain it all eloquently but you get my point. ICPM (again, may be the wrong acronym) packets were being blocked by his router. The fix in my last post worked. If someone needs specific settings I will ask him for the main ones he made. In the end it only turned out to be 3 or 4 different option uncheckings or re-enablings. It works though!

One more note of interest regarding voice chat on PS3. Some were saying you had to have the mic on but we tried it in game and were able to shut our mics off and turn them back on ingame and they repaired and worked. I will try this without having it on upon booting up the game to test if this works but it worked ingame last night. To do this you have to use the channel creation in the social link tab. make your channel then switch to it. Invite the user you want. Then you can go back and forth between any channel, including your group channel. Sorry this has to be split into separate posts but the PS3 wouldn't let me type it all in 1.

Well end game in pretty much all MMO's involves grouped content. Getting in a league is probably something you will want to do to help find groups to play the endgame stuff as grinding out the pvp and various lvl 30 instances is what you are going to mainly be doing.

Woo killed the last boss of Hall of Doom Armoury in under 2 mins. 2 Dps and 2 controllers, who needs tank/healers? Did the same with area 51 on hard and was around 3 minutes too slow for the speed feat, mega shame there. Doing that in 20 mins is kinda hard.

Good sales, seems like everyone on GAF likes it. I hope it holds up. Probably will buy it in about 2 months of its still going strong.
I'm still not sure how Ring War works. I went to the event and I guess it "started" because there were green and yellow lanterns to pick up all over the place. So I started doing that. Then one villain came by (there were about three heroes) and we killed him and I got +1 for my kill 5 villains achievements. And then it timed me out of PVP because I hadn't done PVP for 5 minutes (there were no more villains around) and there were no lanterns to pick up either. Weird.
So basically the first side who picks up X number lanterns and lights them up wins the event. If you want to complete the daily ring war quest (Fear vs. Will) you have to participate during one of the Ring Wars and also defeat 5 enemy PC's. Sometimes a Ring War will be very lopsided and you'll win the event without killing 5 PC's. When that happens I think all you have to do is kill 5 enemy PC's anywhere in Metropolis to complete the daily quest.AstroLad said:

It's funny how NON-PC specific sites are giving the game meh reviews because it's not WoW enough, yet this PC gaming site seems to get it.
I'm sure it has a lot to do with the person that is reviewing the game though.

You're right. I don't care if this game scores a 2/10, this is much more like a solid 8.5. When everything is smoothed out, its a 9. It's just too good and fun.Dreohboy said:

And this was very recently posted by a mod on the forums so those with voice chat issues, pass this along since they are listening.

DCUO has me interested. Had a brief encounter with WoW after Cataclysm was released but the whole community seems to be about raiding/grinding. It simply didn't suit my casual gaming schedule. I also didn't like the "one and only" optimized spell rotation that made WoW fights routine.
Have been checking some reviews about it but they all seem to compare it to WoW, thus scoring it low.
Any word on when we indecisive will get a trial?

Item repair costs get very expensive, in the earlier part of the game you tend to change gear often so you don't repair much, but when you stick with higher level gear you will have to repair it more frequent and the better the gear the more expensive it gets to repair. The teleport trinkets are the most expensive things it seems while the other good stuff you earn with other currencies.
If they ever implement an auction house into the game, money would become more important though.

Just hit level 30 and tried a few of the missions - managed to solo the final mentor mission, but then me and another guy got our asses kicked trying the harder version of the Supergirl/Dr Psycho mission, and then again trying to defeat the Brainiac Annihilators in Gotham. Any recommendations for where I should start with the level 30 stuff?
