I just want them to make DOM more useful to controllers. Since the developers decided to remove DOM from the controller PVP armors it's official that the stat will probably never have an effect in PVP. But it's absolutely horrible for PVE as well. It has no effect stun length or debuffing power (did some light testing with my guy 250-500 DOM with basically no noticeable difference). We have to give up so much precision, health and power for something that basically does nothing... I'm really quiet upset that I spent my marks buying a lot of the tier 1 and 2 armor pieces. Should have gone with the DPS set. They should allow us to exchange armors or something.
VIT is a little better but overall suffers from the same problem. Giving up so much for an extra tick every 100 points is just horrible.

How I beat Brother Eye was madness, I had to adapt a strategy based on the team setup so a split team wouldn't work. We had 1 tank 3 dps 1 controller 3 healers .
We set up a kill priority order. Eye drones, Neuromac , then Omac primes, then omacs and we used one half of the stages. From my experience he most important thing in that fight is communication and people reacting quickly, to help what I did was number the consoles 1-5 starting at the door, when batman moved console someone would just say batman 3 or something so everyone could start making their way there while killing adds. Other than that it's just paying attention and reacting.
Also I never pug raids or specifically I never pug dps for raids or join raids with pug dps. For the most part gear has little output on dps, the dps of the weapon and skill points are really the biggest factors and alot of people think being in dps stance is all it takes to be good dps.

So I'm trying to clear up my quest log and get rid of some older quests that I never did and got two of them where the requirements just don't work and I can't complete. This a known bug or something? The EMP cores mission and the coed chomping missions just don't work .
Had fun guys even if it was a little bit hectic at times. I'm kinda surprised we got through Black Adam so easily after the trouble we had with the 5th waterkeeper. Glad you got some awesome loot after getting jipped in OBC yesterday hermit7.
I think I completed Co-Ed Chomp without any issues, but I've heard of it being bugged and it wouldn't surprise me if the other one is also bugged.BattleMonkey said:

I still don't think I understand the point of the Valentine's consumables like Sassy! and the others. You eat it, and then nothing happens? The description says something about celebrating the season. What are these things and why am I putting them in my mouth? Am I going to die? Should I see a Doctor?
On a side note, I really love healing and controlling. I can't pick which one I like more, but then again my controller isn't level 30 yet and I haven't found out how useless his equipment is going to be.

I have a healer and a controller also and I like healing more, because I feel like I have more control over the party on Alerts. Like, if I am an awesome healer, I feel more comfortable with a newbie group, I don't know if I would feel the same with an awesome controller.
And I get a bit nervous watching other healers work, I use the individual heal when the guy is 75% health (circle of protection + boon of souls should negate damage entirely), so when I see a sorcery healer at almost full power waiting someone get low on health, I feel like screaming.
Sblargh said:
I always feel that if a healer has a full bar, they aren't doing their job. I have a specific order in which I cast spells to maximize my healing, and the healing of others through buffs.
Healing is definitely an art, and it takes a good amount of time to become proficient at it.
hermit7 said:
Yes. There is a lot of situations when rules stop applying and you have to make a decision, when the situation is critical and power is low, healths are starting to drop, cant use a soder. Sometimes there isnt time for any group heal and you have to throw the shield, and I wonder if the Tank thinks: "dude, Im dieing, why the buff? I need health!" and I wish I could say "actually, you need to stay alive", but things happen so fast. Then everyone lives and I feel awesome.
But I am learning that being a good controller is hard too. Too many functions. To know when you don't need to debuff because restoring power is more important isn't always obvious. And vitalization is the only part that the group "feels", because it is more obvious that you are out power than to notice that the mobs arent stunned or debuffed. It is always a bit sad when you have to decide that there ins't enough power for everything and you need to focus on restoring power.

Did my first raid tonight and we got to brother eye but had to quit... kinda disappointing. Is there an accepted strategy? Those lasers are brutal...

Definitely. We have a similar healing mindset. I don't usually play healers in MMOs but I have really enjoyed it in this game. I do find that if I'm the healer, I'm typically in a group that's going to get through the instance. Earlier I healed 500k to another healer's 300k.Sblargh said:
Which leads me to something awesome. Cleared the batcave (oc) and Khandac (sp?) tonight back to back. They were my first 2 raids lol. I have gear and stuff but I never happen to be playing with a group for raids. We got robbed of marks and loot after the awful last boss fight at Kahn but I made out with some 97.1 dps Healer hand blasters!!

Imagine it being Penguin since they were talking him up in the previous interview with PC Gamer.
Edit: Apparently both are going to be in the update. Two Face being added to Legends next update

They were also mentioning something up pvp currency stuff in the next update, not sure what that means. Maybe they will finally let us buy marks of victory with influence *crosses fingers*
And it sounded like they were overhauling all the lantern stuff to make it look cool with more visually impressive powers for both sides.

They also talked about the new On Duty tools that will allow you to reinvite people who have been dropped from the instance/kick people from the instance. It sorta sounded like you can switch on the fly between a private/public instance room. They're also revamping the queueing logic and it should drop people into rooms faster.
The Social Menu is also getting a facelift which they're calling Social menu 2.0. The new Social quick chat menu will allow you to send invites, trade, kick, switch voice channels, etc...
Also heard something about tinkering with PvP currency/Influence, they weren't very specific.

They were also talking about upcoming stuff and were talking of Mister Mxyzptlk, yet the stream went to shit so no idea what they were talking about.

Logged on a little bit ago to play some DC. Got into a Legends match, froze. I begrudgingly signed back in, played an arena, went to the vault and freeze #2. I wonder if they are ever going to get that under control.
edit: 3rd freeze in the Gotham University demo. I don't usually freeze up this often. Something is wrong.

Not every month has a holiday to make an event for, perhaps in such a case we will see some more of the other content added on such times. I just hope they add in more unique alerts because you do them so often. I assume they will eventually take the older ones and make hard modes for them like Gorilla Island and Bludhaven, but I really would like to see some more new alerts put in, but sadly the end game raid content is probably going to be center stage for the most part.
Next month is supposed to be the first major update isn't it?

Anyone having problems deleting certain mail? I accept the attachment but it still acts as though it has one and can't be deleted. I have 3 stuck in my mailbox with seemingly no way of deleting them.
I got at least 10 glitched letters on my main character. It's a known issue for both versions of the game and they're working on a fix, but there's no eta for it.SuperSonic1305 said:
Game is becoming available as a DL title on the PS Store shortly.
I read it yesterday here on gaf or maybe the PS.Blog but it's happening.
I'm tempted which is why I peeked into this thread now.

They are getting a lot of feedback from the people who bought a disc version only because they didn't know a downloadable version was in the works. I really hope they come up with a solution for current disc owners to download the full game.
I bet just the pure amount of bandwidth needed for this will keep them from that, although I don't know how much the bandwidth really costs them. It just seems crazy to let a bunch of people downloade 20 gigs from PSN.

Are there any evil leagues on Death and Glory? I just got the gamer earlier and I'm really liking it. Name is Jill Valentino. Here's a pic of her chilling in a warehouse :3
joined a bigger league pretty recently on D&G, raiding/hmas/pvp, kind of breathes a lot of life into the game when you're playing w/ regulars. They still haven't fixed the bomb crashing the game, ugh. Sucks to be us gadgets 
My character below, slowly will be working his way towards the House of El armor.

Yesterday did the three raids, one after the other, again not beating brother eye, one time, two healers and one dps got the last fight, the others, we were managing to have 6/7 people alive on the 4th terminal, but then, I don't know, people would get excited and die all at once destroying the 5th one. =(
But anyway, these marathons are fun. =)

In just a few hours, after I run the daily alert and daily duo, I will have completed my TIER 2 armor set.
Now all that's left are a ring, necklace, and trinket from the raids....

Man, you guys work fast. I haven't played the game in 2 days but so far I have done 0 raids and maybe 2 HAs and I had the game since launch. I only have one piece of T1 armor, I need to join a league.

I really enjoy it. I got my brother to buy a copy just by letting him make a character on my system. It's a shame they can't let people download the game and level up to 10 or 12 or something to see if they like it because I feel like the majority of the people who try it will like it.TrAcEr_x90 said:
It's just a big investment. You pay $60 for the game knowing that you then owe money for monthly packages. If you don't like the game, you're out $60 with no way of recouping any of that cost.
There are many bugs and issues still present that a hardcore player will become very frustrated with. Seeing the same bugs every day for months on end without SOE even mentioning that they realize it's an issue will have you hating the game some days and loving it on others.
Also, you have to just come to expect that your PS3 will freeze many, many times if you decide to play that version of the game. They've never made any specific mention that they have a fix in mind either, it seems like they are still trying to figure out the problem. But the game freezes pretty predictably.
