Okay, that's true. Good point, Marquess. Point for you. But you get a point taken away for being a dick. So, back to zero.

I just started playing recently (mental/fists (martial?)) and am impressed at how full at least the starting area is of players. Give a since of vibrancy to the community. Despite the warnings about post-30 hell, I may pick up the Ultimate pack since it's 75% off Steam only for a couple more hours. I would like to be able to make a Latern Corps character.

Just for some perspective, where does this game generally fall in peoples comparison to City of Heroes/Villains? I agree I wish there were more customization options when you make a character. I did see some badass level 30 in Metropolis PD HQ with some cosmic pants and hand pieces, I could see space and stars through it, was impressive.

Looks like Halls of Power pt. 1 came out yesterday, http://store.steampowered.com/app/315800/ I wish it were on sale like the rest of DLC.

are you on pc or ps (playstation)?
Im on pc and just hit 18, and the most players ive seen are in the safehouses. The whole city seems to be dead.

God damnit. Like an optimistic idiot I bought a chunk of DLC from steam.

So of course my SoE account page just gives me error messages trying to redeem the codes. Trying to redeem them in game I can't copy paste them, and it just tells me "Error accessing account" both after I enter a code, and sometimes it just kicks me out with that error before I even do anything.

All of 5 minutes on the SoE website is also enough to log me out for "Inactivity" while I'm looking at the game menus. And now we have moved on to it not even allowing me to open up the marketplace in game. Hopefully it's just having issues for the moment and I don't have to deal with tech support.

TLDR EDIT: Hurling my codes at the website over and over again has finally gotten all of them onto my account history (when not giving me an error message trying to load my account history). The only one that straight up worked clean without some kind of error/you already redeemed this, now that this is your fifth time trying the code was the "Origin crisis" code. Well, The third time I tried it at least, it actually said "You redeemed stuff!" instead of Error/you already redeemed this code.

Still hates logging me in half the time, and likes to remind me "Account access error" every so often while playing :downs:
Hey, let's try validation now that I've at least got documentation of "Yes, I own these DLC".... 23,272 files failed to validate and will be required :staredog: Hopefully this helps with my apparent problems.

I reinstalled for the sale and snagged 3 DLC packs I didn't have(I have everything but the halls of power and origin crisis).

not sure if I'll stay interested but I at least have it installed.

Yeah if the cosmetic unlocks were account wide I'd seriously play so much more. As it is I have too many characters to care about them, may try playing again though and try to figure out which powerset I want to actually play.

I just restarted again over the weekend. I've had a lot of spare time (rainy days) so I'm just over 20. Playing as Taranis Reborn (Got the lightning DLC- Name is for the Celtic god of thunder) on the Hero side. I played a couple characters to max way back when but I'm not sure I 100% know what I'm doing with power interactions, so I'm treating the whole thing like I'm a total newbie. I'm in a start-up league with like 4 players so if anyone has a better group I can join, I'm fine with moving.

this is why I was thinking a few of us that are active now could either A) take over the goon clan (probably wont happen because "Goons") b) Make a new one for those of us that are active.

I still have a toon in the villain legion, but I like my hero characters more.

I could ask my guildmaster if they'd take goons that were on hero side and wanted a place to chill.

There's practically no difference, especially in the post-30 content. Villains are mostly agreed-upon to have the better VAs though.

Actually that's where most of the difference is now. The levelling content is doing a lot of the same missions from opposing sides, but T4 and onwards, each side has its own missions entirely.

That's true. But T4 takes awhile to get to and other than 1 -2 instances they're the same.

No, it's not. In fact, my main hero character is T6 and isn't a part of it. We could make a new one if you wanted, but no there isn't one with a bunch of members sitting there waiting for more.

I did Elec/DP once. I think it was probably the fastest I ever got to 30, and I did it all solo. This was shortly after The Last Laugh came out, so I'm not sure how viable it is now...

an active league is going to need more than 3 regular people with differing schedules, but I do still have AWizardDidIt(Sorcery healer) on villain side, ActiveTimeBomb(HL Troll and my main) and BakingBads(fire tank)sitting on hero side.

yes, you do. but if someone were already subbed they could make a guild for you and pass you leadership.

Sadly, that may be the only answer. An FOV of only 90 degrees is just horrible on a 32 inch monitor @ 2 feet away. Makes me sick as a dog.

In the steam/steamapps/common/DC Universe Online/UNREAL3/Engine/Config directory, there is a BASEENGINE.ini file that lists the following:

FOVAngle=90.000000

That's the culprit....that lovely, lovely console FOV is the culprit. Changing this to something acceptable like 115, or 120 and making the file *read only* isn't working, as the file is over written every time you launch the game.

Bummer.

The problem is even if you could fix it, I believe they use the same running tricks that borderlands did. Or was it 2. One of them had fov problems. However, every time you would reset the fov to a desired level, it would be reset to the default level over time. The reason was that to give a sense of running, the fov was dynamically tightened. This works on a artistic scale, but since you couldn't lock the default fov, you get what you are experiencing.

I had the same issue in Bioshock/Bioshock 2, but was able to bind a key to an FOV setting - easy fix (same in BL2). I really want to play this game and the only way I can handle it (in small dosses) it to play in a tiny little window, so it takes longer for my brain to get freaked out by the FOV.

Cool, we need to get a goon league going soon! I've been playing for a few days so far (Lvl 22 hero) and I'm really enjoying it, it's a super fun Barbie dress up game.

There are a few of us goons playing that hang out in the CTS mumble. Right now we're in the defiance channel but hopefully we get a DC universe channel set up soon. Feel free to drop in and join us! My hero is Spine Cho and my evil character is Spin Echo.
