My brother recently picked up this game and I was thinking about starting back up. Since we'll be in a party most of the time I was thinking I might roll a tank or healer. When I first played I was healing. Of all the mmos I played as a healer, I found DCUO to be the least stressful. Since my brother and I will be running a lot of dungeons would it be easier/faster to roll a tank/healer or can I stick with a dps and still find a group in a reasonable amount of time. I'm not sure if there is a dungeon finder in game since it's been so long since I played, I just want to avoid waiting hours to get a party going for an alert/raid.

Does anyone happen to pvp? Just curious what the Goon opinion for the coming update was. I'm not a fan of the changes being made (reffering to the new movement powers debuffing everything) and being a fire tank in PVP myself this pretty much means to hope for a bad player or run exclusively DPS. I can see mass rage quitting for healers in 4vs 4 on up as well. Thoughts?

I usually just throw POT and keep feeding everybody power and that's enough. PVP's always had a big power creep anyway and I wish it was better balanced. I mean they have a PVP CR, why doesn't it mean anything when you're going against people? Why is the "participation reward" a daily and why does it only give you one mark? NO IDEA what they're trying to do to PVP because nothing sounds like it makes it easier for people who have never tried it. Honestly getting rid of clipping would do wonders to balance the game better but everybody would quit if that happened (I would not mind). Oh also the styles really bug me. They threw perfectly good styles into the vault (that I have NEVER SEEN) and kept the most butt ugly faux-military poo poo instead. The only style that barely looks good is the newest one they added, and you may never even be able to get it before a PVP season ends because you have to buy all that crap before it. It's dumb as hell. Duet fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Jul 8, 2013 |

Thank you for backing up controllers aren't nearly as broke as people complain. Being my positive counter class I have a hell of a time with Quantum guys especially DPS specced. This debuff thing will not make it easier, infact IMO it'll be harder because at least the role idea gave people a third chance of having some advatange. This change will make good players even harder to kill and screw new people who couldn't even grasp a single debuff mechanic. I truly believe removing mods, ALL.MODS, from PVP gear would fix this. Every time I see some person crying because a tank did spike damage or a healer can one shot full heal or any other inane nonsense I gurantee the videoed player had piles of T5 mods on. Seriously I use one mod because I only have one T5 mod and I am lazy as hell so exo farming never gets done. I know, for a fact, tank dps is not out of control. Take the mods away and viola you don't have people running around in off spec gear. It would be retarded to do so. This would likely make as many quit as killing clipping though which I agree with you I wouldn't miss in PVP at all either. PVE would really cry over it though. Lastly you say the styles change every season? I guess I better get T5 done then :/ I like the wings on blood bat but the rest of the styles of pvp gear are absolutely retarded. I use a mix of T1 and lower pve for style, no sense in tipping people off right away what I have on

I use a mix of T1 and lower pve for style, no sense in tipping people off right away what I have on That's just what I've heard on the grapevine. It's also likely that there are PVP season specific feats, or that only one new set is added per season. We'll find out when the season ends. I agree that mods are out of control, though. Home Turf's helped shove the power curve up a bit too.

I just absolutely cannot comprehend the dudes who keep it at max level ever since I bought Home Turf. 3750 Triumph a month PER BUFF (there are 4, recall!) at maximum, not to mention the gold cost. poo poo, I barely keep T2 mods enabled and it's the only base buff I bought into.

Home Turf supercomputer stuff is a 4x4 grid, 4 tiers of effectiveness (and the last two only last 30 days), and 4 types of buff (sudden healing, orbital cannon, gear mods, henchmen/sidekicks). In order, they cost 25, 125, 625, and 3125 from T1-T4. So yes, if you want to be THE TOP TIER all the time, you're blowing 3750 MoTs a month per buff. Plus $6500 for the batteries. Also from what I hear inflation is nuts on the PS3, so AH can end up making or costing you shitloads. I think the most I've ever gone through in a heavy auctioning month is ~100k on PC. claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Jul 8, 2013 |

Still waiting on an invite if anyone could, Signore Punchinello. Also, question about gadgets. I am finding it hard to keep up combos with staff on raids due to CC's and was wondering what ranged weapon would be good to switch to.

Anything you salvage outside vendor junk is worth 10's of thousands or more. I have 3 expert recovery kits I got out of lockboxes I believe, a mil a piece easy. Prolly won't use them and saving them for a rainy day retirement fund. edit-now don't go buying anything unless you have to because the reverse is true, gotta be Bill Gates to fund some alts. Also not sure if PC works this way but there is no identifier to who is selling what when buying so if it's your cup of tea the market is ripe for cornering rear end hattery. I usually just undercut by like 5% and rake in profit. ganash fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Jul 8, 2013 |

I've never used staff in a raid, but I used to use it as a weapon myself. It is really awkward ranged I'll admit. Been using Martial Arts since I haven't found a better weapon and just spamming the ranged is a pretty decent power gain. Bow, Rifle and Pistols are better ranged damage (I think) and can probably gain power faster. Hand Blasters is really fast, but does a lot less damage. You have a lot to choose from.

After some doing some research I think I am going to give DP a try, I am more worried about keeping combos up so I can be a good a little battery. Also, just got the diving helmet from Aquaman! The best helmet. Edit: Ok, pistols seem like they are going to be a lot of fun and a nice change of pace. Throwdown fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Jul 8, 2013 |

So I think I found how the arena seasons work and it pretty much sucks, most likely why many people avoid it like a plague. They are 6 months long and this current season is over in Oct I believe. At season end the top gear tier becomes something between 1st and 2nd tier or the new 2nd tier (I see conflicting reports on that) and the remainder top tiers are all new sets. So in essence the gear doesn't just change they nerf your current set if you maxxed and I assume any lower tier is absolutely worthless? Seems a bit over the top and retarded to me and has insured this season is my last, I figured a single tier downgrade was inevitible but not something so grand and absolute. No wonder those recovery kits go for such bank. If I still play by seasons end I am totally waiting till then to auction them I bet their value skyrockets. But anyway thought I would give a heads up. If you want or plan to arena it's pretty much only worth it if you start no later than 2 months in. As long as valor converts to triumph badges thats what I'll be doing. Even a 2:1 downgrade is awesome when I get 70 valor per win min, more if I had any quests pop or get a lucky box. One last note, I seem to be getting my current goal tier gear in prize boxes every so often. That was a killer idea, I have several weapons now I would have never bought and saved roughly 600 badges in costs. edit- thought I would add this as no one told me and I was pissed when I realised it, thank god I check often and only wasted like 40 badges. Valor caps at a 1000 with any excess destroyed so no saving them up spend spend spend. ganash fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jul 8, 2013 |

So I bought some DLC off of Steam because it's cheap and I can't log in to SOE to redeem the codes. Every time I try to log in, it tells me that I need to reset my password but once I do, it tells me my password has already been reset but it won't let me in. I can't even open a support ticket because you need to be logged in to do so. gently caress. I'll have to call them tomorrow when their office is open, but has anyone ever had anything like this happen?

Password limit or whatever no matter how long I wait and no way to log in to submit a ticket or use their help chat. Having delt with their phone support before, I'm now in no hurry to check any of their games out ever again. EDIT: A quick search of their forums across multiple games shows that the only way to get this resolved is to call so  gently caress that.

We were done in under a minute just due to the sheer amount of damage thrown down by everyone.
