I was going to try it when I saw it on PSN yesterday. However, after 3 hours of downloading after installation--and only being at 15%--I decided I didn't want to try it that badly.
DC Universe so... much... fun!!

it had some pretty heavy cramps yesterday, the game went down for several hours, but yeah, its fun
If you have a PS3, it's free-to-play on that, too.TitanAtlas said:
I like it alright. Just hope my Ice/DualWield/SuperSpeed build isn't trash come end-game.
You're a Tank (Ice) with Acrobatics (Dual Wield). It's not an optimal build. Superspeed works well though.Onyx Oblivion said:

I'm still pretty invested in City of Heroes; and with the recent additions of laser rifles, time manipulation, and the upcoming Titan Weapons set, that doesn't look to be changing anytime soon.
Nice that it's going free-to-play though. Seems like that's the trend with many MMOs. I'll probably try it out eventually, but probably not anytime soon.

What about mental, dual wield, and super speed? I WANT MY SUPER SPEED AND MELEE.The_root_of_all_evil said:
A good combo is Ice/Staff/Superspeed. Both the pistols/dual-wield sets are based on dodging. Ice requires repeated Chill attacks to keep up your ice armour, so Freezing followed by Martial Flowers is a good all-round Aggro keeper/damage.Onyx Oblivion said:
Mental is Support Class, so works better with handblaster or similar.
Completed it months ago ... dull as fuck!
There are about 6 missions, most of which are actually just variants of "kill X number of things" and "collect X number of things" for about 10 hours.
The missions also have to be done in a kind of certain order, like at level 10 you can get 2 level 10 quests, 1 will be impossible to do and another will be a cake walk but you have no idea which is which ... you have to do one (plus maybe a few hours of grinding to level up) then the other to carry on.
It is a very dull game!
Oh and the wings suck!

I got it at launch and stopped playing it a week later. Theirs a reason its gone free to play 9 months later. It looks pretty and they have most if not all of the proper voice actors to make it great but its quiet boring. And frankly 6 power pools is a joke. Its not so much for you to make your own heroes or villians but to make you more like the existing heroes and villians.
I'm guessing nature would be a bad choice, too? Is staff a fast melee, btw? I just want to be a super speed fast-melee class with some type of elemental powers.The_root_of_all_evil said:
This is par for the course on F2P releases you should have seen the mess on SD gundam's close beta had yesterday.Kitsuna10060 said:
I'm a have to disagree there, i remember DDO and EQ2 being smoother, i was there for CoH's F2P launch as well, >.> but i was subbed at the time so that might have something to do with it (CO can fuck right off imo)Normandyfoxtrot said:
real kick in the teeth is, its not making a very good first impression, from log in issues, to the massive pain in the ass i had just ROLLING a character yesterday, i mean its fun an all but losing interest
yes i do expect better from a company as big as sony
I played up to lvl 30, upon which it lost a lot of flavor... dunno why.
Also to those who are having login issues, there is a problem with DCUO and certain netgear routers (cable modem/router) that will boot you off the game consistently. There is no fix for it other than getting a different modem/router.

I'm downloading it right now. It should be done tomorrow. *Laughs*
I'm actually looking forward to it. Never got around to playing any superhero MMO's so it'll be a good change of pace, though I'm sure there are better ones out there, this one is free.

I actually like it's F2P a lot. You can play all the content, for as long as you want, and still chat/have access to full customization. There's some missing features, but most seem like they can be overcome by spending $5 on the game, at which point you unlock "premium" mode permanently.Jandau said:
I've never played an F2P MMO, so I have to ask: Is it normal for the game itself to be free as well in this case? I thought F2P only meant "no subscription fees, but we're still charging you for the game itself".
Anyway, I like superheroes, so downloading this is a no-brainer for me, now that it's apparently free. Huge-ass download, though... won't be able to try it out before tomorrow morning.

What stopped ME from playing was that it was a laggy ***** for no reason.Normandyfoxtrot said:
This game is amazing, and defintly refreshing, for the record, the FARTHEST I ever dug into DC was literally the few Batman movies, the games that recently came out and the TV shows that were on Cartoon Network, being able to explore a city that is BOTH a hybrid of the city I remember from the cartoons and one of the books makes me happy again. For me, definetly better then EVERY other Hero themed MMO on the market, counting that you can just buy something for 5$ on the Item Shop makes the game 100% better, since you pay a small fee for more of the game.
Do 1 of 2 things.Jak23 said:
1: Whisper to your buddy on where to meet, I usually do this while in shout, but works perfectly, choose a area near the area you want and then ask him to meet you there, after getting there, turn off powers and walk or jump from rooftop to rooftop with him following to get to your location.
2: Share the quest with your friend and you will BOTH have the same objectives.
Not that it was poorly designed, but mainly that it was made with console in mind, and trying to sell a console gamer a MMO is like trying to sell a bobcat to Ocelot, IT JUST WON'T WORK!Pedro The Hutt said:
[sub]Bonus points if you get the Dorkly reference.[/sub]
Thats the only reason I can think that it has done poorly, simply because of the target audience wasn't there. I share many views with Total Biscuit on this game, its competently made, its combat is thrilling and offers large variants on what you do / want to do. It may be button mashy, but the combat is fun in short doses, its really different then other Super Hero MMOs or action MMOs out there, reminds me of what Guild Wars 2 will be like, a weird hybrid of standard Hotbar MMOs and action ones.
