***Official DC Universe Online Thread***

Those of you who said there wasn't enough end game content:

http://www.examiner.com/console-gam...verse-online-february-content-update-unveiled

Plus there'll be new content at least every month. This new update should happen in the nxt week or so. The 8 man Batcave raid was in beta and our league ran it a few times so here's hoping it'll be the same or, if things have indeed changed, we'll have a new strategy going. As always yours truly will be broadcasting live via Xfire so you all have an idea of how it can be done.

Which reminds me, what did you lot think of the run we did on Khandaq last night? For those who got to watch that is.

PS, there's going to be a new duo where you take on Bane. Again this was in beta.
 
Where are you broadcasting the runs and where are they announced. Wouldn't mind watching a few of the live streams. Do you need xFire to watch the stream though or can it just be done through the browser.

The league I am in are now all hitting 30, still a smallish league but always enough for the duo's etc. Gone back to the 2H hammer for now as the staff I had was a level 16 thing and not come across a better one yet :/ Loot system is a complete mystery as what you will get, lvl 30 missions dropping level 5 greens etc

You can watch it from the browser so you don't need the app, I would imagine. If you check back a few posts on here I posted the link. I will post a new one tonight. I will be creating a new character which will be a dual pistol, gadget, super speeding controller.

As for new loot dropping in duos and hard alerts. Yes some of the items are worthless. But I think they are meant for those who havent ran those quests before. You get some good blue stuff. But it's when you do the 8 man raids (Outer Caverns and Khandaq), that's when you see epic gear. Last night I got a new set of dual wield swords. DPS ones, but they have 97.1 dps on them so they are epic. So I had to respec my character to use those. :)

Once you've gotten enough people with good enough gear (a couple of T1 armour will be ok) then you can start on the raids.

I think my league will be running raids this weekend. I will be streaming from xfire again so you can see.
 
Just bought this game because I need a change from the srs business of WoW.....

I would like to play a healer, although I keep reading about controllers.... whats their role in groups?

You have the choice between a mental or gadget controller. Your role is to give power to people in your group (as well as yourself in some cases) during alerts and raids and duos
 
Are there any buddy codes for this game knocking around? Rift isn't really doing it for me and I'd love to try out DCUO if anyone has a spare code. Cheers :)

I'm going to try and get some live streaming done tonight via Xfire. I've posted a link further up the post. I will post again when I go live. So you can check it out and see what you think :)
 
Ok new pics. If you also got to see live streaming the last few nights, tell me what you thought of it:

I have got the game so which server and side do you OcUK'ers play? And also can anybody suggest a guild/legion/whatever to join?

I am on the US Server called Zero Hour. I have 3 characters:

Ubermensch - Ice - Tank
Overman - Nature - Healer
Black Blur - Gadgets - Controller

The first two are level 30 and are in DC Raiders league. The 3rd one is level 10 for now. And hopefully get it into the DC Raiders when it hits 30 :D

Also I am broadcasting live right now on Xfire: http://www.xfire.com/live_video/krypton29/
 
Watching the stream right now CK, can't wait to get my hands on this!

How do you find the control scheme for PC? I've seen a mixed bag of reviews with regards to that.

Also, what settings are you running the game on?

I like using my kb and mouse. But everyone has their preference.

I have everything on high and running on 1920x1200 :)
 
Aslong as the KB & Mouse works with the combo system i'll be happy!

What are your thoughts on the game so far?

You seem to be running through the instances with ease!

If you look on my YouTube channel (search CK61938) you will find various videos on the game. A couple where I've spoken highly of it :) including the news of the latest content update.
 
I hope those of you who have reached 30 in this game are doing your Challenge Modes. Remember it's not about just jumping in and attacking the enemies. It's all about how to take them down one by one. Unless of course, you'er a bonafide tank like yours truly, you can pretty much take on 6 level 30 NPCs at once. As I keep saying Winter Ward and Reflection F.T.W. :D

And complete the Toyman missions daily, cos they are fun (apart from the race type one where you have to carry a power core, that can get frustrating lol) and I think you get a feat for completing 10 of them, or maybe it's all 10 of your challenge modes. Either way, get them done, collect the Marks Of Alliegiance, use those to buy weapons or 10 of those marks will get you 1 mark of triumph. So think about it, you do 10 of these a day, that's 2 marks of alliegance each for the challenge modes and 1 mark of alliegiance for the Toyman modes. That's 15 marks off the bat. Not bad I say.

Anyway, just thought I'd add that in there as I was out and about on my level 30 tank doing said challenge modes, I did the Supergirl one and the Felix Faust one. It's so much easier when you are well geared lol.

Tomorrow night, I will be leading a group from my league to do 8 man raids in both Outer Caverns and Khandaq. As always I will be doing a live broadcast so stay tuned for the link and hope to see you guys watching tomorrow :D
 
Liking the look / idea of this very much. Don't suppose there is a free trial or anything for it? (Can't look that much at the moment as I'm in work)

No free trial as yet. I do hope they will implement this later on, cos it would make a lot of sense for people to try it out for like 2 weeks or something before deciding whether or not it is the MMO for them.

This is why I do live streaming via Xfire. So people can see it and see how things are done, what the world looks like and such.

So who knows. Finger's crossed.
 
Just picked this up last night and now I'm fully patched.

Couple of questions:

What server would you recommend for starting out on (I'm open to either EU or US)?

Having looked at the different roles, Controller or Healer looks most appealing to me so far. Is there a massive need for crowd control or would a controllers main job be to act as a power battery for other heroes?

Ta.

I highly recommend US servers. I am on there on the Zero Hour :) Love it

Regarding controllers, your job is pretty much to act as a power battery for other heroes in your group during duos, alerts and raids. But be careful when taking aggro. Your tank needs to make sure they pull aggro off you otherwise too many enemies on you and you cannot power everyone and then we're in trouble lol. But everyone has their role and each one is important to the other :)

I have a level 30 tank and a level 30 healer and currently my controller is level 20. I'm taking my time levelling him up tho.

If you are a tank, go for Ice...it's awesome :D

Roll on a US server if you:
- Want to play at non-peak times where the cities feel fairly empty and is harder to get groups for alerts
- Dont want to do raids
- You want to do raids at ~1am through till 3am
- Plan on doing most stuff solo unless youre prepared to stay up very late

That's why I am on the US server. Especially at weekends. I prefer to raid well into the early hours of the morning. On a weeknight I can be up until as late as 4am depending on my work shift.

Besides the US servers peak time is around 1am UK time. Perfect for me :D
 
Which is fair enough, i just dont really agree with you suggesting people roll on a US server on a primarily european forum. Perhaps mention that you play very late nights when you tell people to play US.....

I think people are well aware that when you play on US servers, you're likely to play well into the night. I recommend it, I don't force them into it. We all have our preferences. I prefer the US cos I am used to it and I played with some of those guys in beta. So it was obvious I would join them when it went live. :)
