Weapon skins don't change the effects, so energy guns shoot bullets etc.

This is why I (almost) always go with melee weapons. As a bonus I think you get some CC resistance with melee weapons equipped, or something similar?

The attack visuals for weapons are altered depending on your power. So if you have fire, you throw fireballs and whatnot, ice throws chunks of ice, electricity has lightning effects...I suspect that Rage would give you red arrows, but I wouldn't know.

Your coloration does change some effects, though.

It does. I've been playing with a few Rage DPSes for the past couple of nights.

Some of their attacks make doing the new content a bitch since I can't tell if the blood all over the ground is friendly or "oh gently caress we're all going to die".

No, what it probably reminds you of is the guy you originally recruited into DCUO when it first came out. Least I think that was you. You, Wafer, and Raider. Haven't seen/heard from any of those guys since then, actually.

Playstation Goons, is everyone villain or hero? I don't want to get too far on one side and see that everyone is the opposite.

"Everyone" is not much anyways, but IIRC most goons are bad guys.

Also, one last attempt to find out if anyone knows of or is a member of a guild that would be good for someone who lives in a european time zone (UTC +4). I saw people recruiting for russian guilds in the chat, but I reeeally don't want to play with other russians, our online communities are always hives of racist, homophobic idiots.

Are you on the US server, or EU? If the former/you're on Hero, I'll see about getting you into mine, we actually have enough guys that there's a night crew too.

(There's been talk of some of us making a second guild for Villain side but none of us ever goes and DOES it.)

Villain, but my guy is only level 10, so starting over shouldn't be a big deal. Tho' it'd be great if we did have a bag guy guild too, hero side is a bit boring and I don't like any of the mentors :v:

I'll have to check the server. I think I'm on US, but I may be wrong.

Bank until 30. Then you'll get Marks out of them along with whatever gear they had.

Opening at basic CR/level 30 gets you 1 Mark of Triumph, CR45ish gets you 1 MoT, CR60ish gets you 25 MoT, CR70ish 125 MoT, CR84ish 1 Mark of Reality. They no longer contain rings/necks which scale depending on your CR (they're now in the vault) just marks, base items and nu 52 styles/auras.

Bank them until 30 (which takes about no time at all), and then keep getting more CR so you can get the best yield out of all of them.

Just make sure to open them before they expire and go bad.

This is why Legendary/expansions are great. You could really easily do sub-avatars to gear up to CR 53 so you can enter Central City, then do all that stuff to pretty quickly jump up to the 70s and start doing Tier 3 stuff.
