Ubermensch - Ice Tank - Dual Wield
The Jurgenator (main PVP character) - Ice DPS - various weapons from Bow to Martial Arts
Overman - Electric Healer (formerly nature but soon to go back to it) - Bow
Black Blur - Gadgets Controller - Hand Blaster
Plastiq - Electric DPS - Dual Wield

Well with the new DLC and new game update, you can now cross faction in pvp only. Sometimes it becomes heroes vs heroes in pvp if not enough villains queue up for it. So depending on how many people queue up on each end, you can be fighting alongside heroes and taking out villains or vice versa.
 
Just reinstalled this about 5 hours ago, going to give it a proper go tomorrow, want to really get into it and try some end-game content, I only got to around level 15 on ps3 so not played it a lot :D looking forward to it. Joined the PvP EU hero side if anyone wants to add me, I'll edit this with my name tomorrow when i make my char.

EDIT: Char name is Tune

I play on the US Servers on PC. So that will be why you cannot add those two. Tho to be honest, if you have added the others, I am confused that you could even do that since the game isn't made to cross platform since they are on totally different servers.
 
Well I had to transfere onto the PVE server lol I was sick to death of getting ganked on by a level 30 when i was only level 4 :@

Also has there been a lot of Lag? I go to an area and then no one is there. (Mobs) and next thing i am taking damage then dead lol

Not sure how it is on the EU side of things but I've noticed a bit of lag on the US servers quite a bit lately. Tho I put that down to latency really lol. I would just check you got nothing else going on your internet connection if it's less than 10Mb or something.

Tune said:
Yeah, I'm finding that happens a lot atm, level 6 now, and CK61938 how come you're on US?
Click to expand...

I've been on the US servers since beta and I played with a lot of people back then so it made sense to stick to that side.

I take it that this thread isnts taked about much lol. I am really enjoying it so far. I dont know what it is but It fixes the itch of the usual 5 man groups and specs. And its free.

I was thinking about going Shield/Earth for a tank what do you think?
Click to expand...

As a Tank any weapon is good enough. Shield is definitely one I would list as a good weapon for tanks.
 
I wonder if many people are still playing this. I still am and a lot has changed since I last posted on here.

We've got the new DLC - The Hand Of Fate - due out sometime this month. And given what I have seen in terms of pics and videos, this looks like it's going to change a lot of things for players.

They're introducing a new feature called The Utility Belt. It pretty much does what it says on the tin. You can choose up to 3 extra items in your trinket slot and they can range from trinket to consumable to power-ups. And you can use them at once or carefully use them one at a time and this will help give you an edge in fights.

We're also seeing two new characters added to the PVP Legends roster: Dr Fate (hero) and Felix Faust (villain). And this is on top of the already added on Superman and General Zod for PVP Legends.

Also shortly after Game Update 18 (released late August), they've made serious changes to how you can get Tier 1 gear now. They've reduced the number of marks of Triumph for Tier armour and when you do raids/alerts/duos, you get pretty much a serious amount of marks of triumph. The other reason for this is cos they have removed marks of Distinctions (if you have any of these spare you can convert them to Triumph in the Magic Wing console by the entrance).

So for example, a back piece for a Tier 1 armour used to be 40 marks of triumph. It is now 29 marks of triumph. And what was once 40 marks of distinction for Tier 2 back piece is now around 120 marks of triumph. But as I said, do enough raids and such and you can pick up around 200 marks in no time.

In addition to converting Marks of Distinction, you can also convert Marks of Krypton (obtained from the Fortress Of Solitude raids) and Marks of Momentum (obtained from the Flash Lightning Strikes DLC). So how many marks do you get for the conversions? Read below:

For 1 Mark of Distinction, you can convert this into 5 Mark of Triumph
For 10 Marks of Distinction, you can convert these into 50 Marks of Triumph
For 100 Marks of Distincion, you can convert these into 500 Marks of Triumph

For 1 Mark of Krypton, you can convert this into 50 Marks of Triumph
For 10 Marks of Krypton, you can convert these into 500 Marks of Triumph
For 100 Marks of Krypton, you can convert these into 5000 Marks of Triumph

For 1 Mark of Momentum, you can convert this into 10 Marks of Triumph
For 10 Marks of Momentum, you can convert these into 100 Marks of Triumph
For 100 Marks of Momentum, you can convert these into 1000 Marks of Triumph

Note, you must have the collected number of marks before you can convert them. So if you have 150 Marks of Krypton for example, you can get 10,000 Marks of Triumph. That's more than enough to get all of the Tier 1 armour of all 3 mentors (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman on hero side and Joker, Lex Luthor and Circe on villain side) and even get the Tier 2 armour across all 3 mentors if you have some spare.

Of course, if you are a new player, then it will be easy for you to gain marks for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 armour. For us vets, it just means more skill points. :)

Anyway, hope you're all having fun. And remember to visit the DC Universe Online website for more info. There is also an EU version of the site.

Still playing CK61938? Thinking of getting back into it.

Yeah. I am still playing :)

Haven't been solidly playing like I used to, but I still raid now and then. A lot of new stuff coming up in the next several months or so.

We got what's known as "Hometurf". Where we finally get to build and maintain our hideout/cave/lair. This has got everyone excited. Hopefully it will be released by Jan/Feb 2013. It will be a DLC.

Then they've mentioned new raids and new T5 gear as well. So next year looks to be DCUO's best year yet :D
 
Trying to play this again but it's hanging the SOE black screen when I launch the game and can't do anything :/ really want to play, anyone had a similar problem and know how to fix? Tried a reinstall.

Normally a hanging SOE screen would indicate slow or no internet connection. At least from my experience that's what I have found it to be. Have you tried the web based launcher? Also, just in case, install/update Flash.
 
Anyone still playing this? They've now introduced Crossplay. Which basically means that all players on PC, PS3 and PS4 can all play the game together! Certainly increases the player base even more and I had no idea there were more players on the PSN than on PC. They outnumber us by nearly 4 to 1!

Also they announced that DCUO will be coming to Xbox! So those of you on that console will soon be able to play along with the likes of Superman and Batman!

Meanwhile, I am still playing and clocking up some serious hours of late. I do have periods where I don't play for weeks or months on end. But it's nice to go back and play like I never left in the first place. 5 years later and the game is still doing well! :)

I lost my account when they transferred EU to Pro7 and then apparently sent out emails telling us to revert back to SOE (at the time) if we wish to do so... :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

Yup same here, really ****ed me off as I was away for about 4 months over that time so never even saw the email. (Mass delete in email that was not work wise)

It's a game I would have definitely gone back to and spent money on it, but not now, they did it in such a underhanded way.
 
Well since then, SOE no longer exists and it's now Daybreak Games. I had to create a new account cos SOE wouldn't link it from Pro7 back to SOE. But still kept all my characters. Game is certainly much better this time around and lots of epic new content and gears have been unleashed! I really wish you guys were able to get back into the game. It's still free to play if you decide to change your minds.
