***Official DC Universe Online Thread***

I've played the beta...and I can honestly tell you that for the most part, after getting to 30, it isn't boring. You have to do raids/alerts/duos to get your marks of triumphs/distinctions to get you the iconic armour to really give your character all the buffs you require.

Also, with the release of the new Green Lantern movie out later this year, there's going to be a tie in with that within the game. Trust me, DC will have surprises all over the store for us with this game. Most are hoping for a Blackest Event

Luckily no one in my league has reached 30...think the highest we have so far is 23 or 25. From level 20 it gets a little more tricky to level. But if you do duos and alerts between 20 and 30, you can pick up awesome loot and use them during quests and get awesome loots from said quests. Then when it's time to raid, that's when the fun begins

It sounds very good, but if it takes 2-3 days to ding 30 can you see my point, and that is, what is the point of levelling in the first place?

EDIT: From what it looks like, the actual levelling is a sort of tutorial so the real game begins at level 30, which is a new idea and might work.

Like I said, life after 30 gets awesome (hmm is that also meant for real life? lol)

Thanks for that m8. When I click play it doesn’t take me to the SOE page anymore, it did last night when Steam had issues and I was getting “access code already used”.

I think I need to go back into the subscription page, choose the subscription type (1 month) add my card details and hopefully this time the “confirm purchase” isn’t greyed out as it was last night. If not do what you said, delete it from my machine and do a fresh install” I guess I need to remove it from the add/remove programs and then go back to Steam and download it again? Not done that before

If it's in that list then yes remove it. Otherwise go into the folder where DCUO is installed within the Steam folder and look for the uninstaller in there.

Ok I think I have sorted it and I was being a little thick!!

The reason I was getting a greyed out button on the "confirm purchase" was due to me not putting in my 3 digit security code to confirm my card. I did that and it went through! Now my account says active so that sounds positive. I really didn’t see it!

Will try later when I get home, hopefully that is the only issue.

So I should choose US server "Zero Hour"? Is that were most people are?

CK thanks again for your help!

Ah yes, the security code bit lol. That almost got me too haha

Yes, Zero Hour where most of the PVE people are. I couldn't tell you where they are in PVP though. And yes US Servers

Anyone fancy gifting me this on steam and I'll pay you back on the 27th please ? Was worth a try!

Does this game have a 14 day trial / recommend a friend type deal?

My mate bought it and I want to have a go but don't fancy shelling out incase it's rubbish.

What are the pings like from the UK to the US servers? Not to much lag whilst playing from Europe?

Test it out on your mates machine and see if it's your thing. See what he says about it as well. I think the buddy keys are only in the US from what I was hearing with the people I am in league with.

I dont think so, surprised by that, maybe they will introduce one at a later stage.

A good start will be asking your mate?? has he said its good or not?

I'm going to give it a go and see what its like, after having a break from Wow for 5 months , which I am enjoying again, DC will be played while the wow toons are resting.

Gave LOTRO a go, really got into it but the game got worse for me as I got higher(Moria and Mirkwood were so boring) , have a 63 hunter so only 2 lvls from lvl cap!

So far i'm hearing good things about DC

Is a league a Guild?

Is a league a Guild?

That it is

I am tempted to move to a US server and start over but as with EvE online at the time when you were in guilds/corps from the states they would be coming online as I would log off and then they would moan I wasn't around much.

I gather once you get to the end game of this MMO and the big raids happen people won't be happy if you aren't around. This is why I am thinking of sticking to the EU servers for now.

That's why I don't go to bed early and come the weekend I can be up all night

Got my second character to level 30 last night and did a couple of duos. I want to get all of Flash Iconic tier 1 gears to become a fully fledged tank. And I think I will love this character more than my main one. as it's based on the Flash and has fire based powers. Some of which come with self healing abilities. Good for raids when you're getting ganked by multiple NPCs

CK was reading some of your older posts!

I'm going to choose Flash(I guess you still can with the live servers?)always loved Flash and Flash Gordon is still one of my all time favourite films! The miniseries was dire!!

And he is a tank too? so it’s a win win situation... is it 5pm yet??

You can choose a character to be based on Flash and be mentored by Superman. And that's what I will be doing when I get my main character to 30. So you'll have super-speed and it'll be a tank.

ah thanks thought so!


I will try the US servers as many people here are on them, so it will be nice to speak to some familiar people!

I think I might just start on a EU server too.

Oh my the wife is going to kill me....

That's why I don't go to bed early and come the weekend I can be up all night

In my uni days it was like that for me, these days the alarm goes off at 6am for work, I was up until 3:45am last night playing this and I am walking dead this morning after 2 hours kip xD

Wish I could stay up all night and weekends, however regardless of how little sleep I get the son has other idea's at a weekend as to what time I wake up these days. Generally 5am xD why is he such an early bird

If by Friday when the retail version goes live and the EU servers are still just about meeting med popularity I reckon sony will merge the servers anyway to boost the numbers

I'm like that most nights, ok only up at 8am for work, but last night it was 11pm as we had somebody stay over and they slept in the spare room where the computers are, oh no he is there tonight too!

 

[Mana]

i want to be a dual wielding sword guy who is beefy but with super flash speed. My idea is to just super speed into an enemy, aggro him then super speed to another mob etc. Then hold aggro like a champ.

Is that possible?
