***Official DC Universe Online Thread***

Hey guys i've been looking into this game for a while now but can't justify spending £30 on which could possibly be a couple weeks of gameplay.

I know its quite unlikely but if anyone has a spare buddy key for pc and wouldn't mind parting with it that would be sweet. If not i'll be cheap and wait for a trail.

Thanks Ethan.

USA retail are the only ones that do the buddy key at the moment as far as I know.
 
Hi,

Nice ride to 30 fun and exciting but once I hit endgame I was so disappointed.

1. Loot hunting obsolete. All there is to do and you can do is rerun the same content as before to grind marks.
2. Best gear in game can only be bought from vendor! WTF is up with this. No random gear drops that are worthy after you have the tier1/2 gear!
3. You have all the hard alerts and a solo mish(invasion) in the journal that you can enter solo in the world but impossible to complete!
4. Endgame content extremely repetetive. Solo challenges and duos too easy. Alerts to frustrating to get a group going for. Ques bugged.
5. Getting in half completed group content when queing!
6. Once you have the tier gear there is no meaning with combat since you get nothing useful from tier missions. All there is left to do is feat hunting.

Clearly you read about the new content that is coming out in the next couple of days.

The game can be a bit repititive at times, yes. But if you are in a league (which sounds like you are not), you won't have to worry about getting a group for hard alerts or raids or even duos. Every night I log in, someone in my league wants to do duos, 4 people want to do hard alerts and we have specific time slots to do raids since they are locked to once a week. But we still help out where we can even if we have ran the raids already.

There's a reason I do live streaming. So people can get a good look at how this game is played and such. Since beta, I have not gotten bored of this game (yes there are moments but it's rare). I look forward to the new content, especially the new Batcave raid mission, which I have done in beta and it freakin rocks.

So until the new content is out, I would think twice before talking this game down about repititiveness. Aren't most MMOs like that? And people are still playing WoW many years later.

Also:

3. You have all the hard alerts and a solo mish(invasion) in the journal that you can enter solo in the world but impossible to complete!
Completely disagree. Like I said, the hard alerts are not impossible if you have the right group (people in your league) who have done them before and know how to do them. Yes, I will agree the Gotham Invasion is very hard. But take it from me, if done properly, it can be completed. I got as far as taking out the Abbetors and MK-IIIs but the Annhilators, I could get to about half their HP and I am out for the count. All I say is, take a team with you ;) But I find that mission pointless cos you get no serious loot from it.

Lack of end game content doesn't really phase me - the game has only recently been released, and will most likely get more content patched through.

Yep, within the next 24hrs we'll get new content :) and SOE have (supposedly and hopefully) promised new content at least every month. Seriously, this game has potential. They just need to utilise the entire DC Universe to make it work. Green Lantern movie coming out will ensure we will get some sort of new content for sure.

Well you got my attention then - what realm are you on? Will be purchasing the game tonight, so hopefully can join your league soon (if possible!).

I am on the US Server on Zero Hour. Our league is called DC Raiders. Once you this level 30 visit our site (www.dcraiders.com) then sign up and all I can say is, good luck if you get in our league :)

If you need help look me up on one of the following characters in my sig ;)

Good luck if you get the game and hope you like it.

D'oh - that's not all too encouraging lol!

Yeah sorry. Just when we were in beta, we had way too many people who were not playing the game correctly or not listening to what we were saying to help them along. So now we have a strict welcoming policy. This way we want to find out if the people who join our league are willing to help out others if and when needed and be ready or sign up for raids. As I said we are more than willing to help out where needed :)

We're not looking to become the highest numbered league in the game or server, just the best we can be :)

and people are paying a monthly sub for this ;)
 
Ok live stream: http://www.xfire.com/live_video/krypton29/ about to do a raid with my league. Join in if you want :)

Tomorrow we will be running the new Batcave raid so I will for sure be streaming that so you all know what it looks like and how it is done :D

Oh and this was my tank last night in Khandaq. I was going for the Michael Jackson glowing star look lol:

Had a mate build me my new rig while I was away. Upgraded everything and still can’t play this game!:mad::mad: Some of you know, I've have been struggling to play this game since day 1. For the life of me I can’t understand why it will not play, even after this new build??:confused:

Going to give Rift a try this tonight(this week) managed to get a Beta key, hearing good things about it and seen some very good videos on You Tube.

It's a pity I couldn’t get DC working.
 
Ok, I have to ask - is it normal for people to just dash away to do alerts asap without answering any of your questions? :S Entered A51 for the first time today and wasn't sure how to switch my loadout to healer (still don't know btw - seem to be stuck in dps mode) and nobody bothered saying anything at all - its like it was everyone for themselves. =(

EDIT: On a side note - is it possible to respec in any way?

Its an mmo, its full of dumb so people arent clever enough to read the chat.


Press T to switch between roles once you hit lvl 10. If you're a hero, respec is in the south west corner of the watch tower where the trees are, i cant remember offhand where the villain one is as ive not used it yet.
 
So the new content has not arrived yet. Still no official word on when it will arrive. Kinda takes the pee that SOE/DC won't give a definitive date when everyone was under the impression it was 15th Feb.

It's kinda pointless releasing the content for the Valentine's Day theme since that was 2 days ago. So they've really shot themselves with that one.

My league was really looking forward to raiding Batcave as most of us did this in beta and had a blast. Once the new content has been released, I will be streaming live for those who want to see what it's like before they give it a go themselves :)
