So yeah, we have a sort of League going right now. Contact 7th Wrath or Spine Cho on the Hero Side for an introduction. We finally have a mumble channel in camping the stairs, so come in and get the rundown.

Okay, so, I used to play this on steam 3 years ago, with a few alts, one at 30, and the light dlc. I tried to play the game on steam recently, and I got a "cannot connect to login server" error.

Okay, so I download the stand alone client, log in, and all my characters are gone, and my account has no dlc.


Is it attached to steam? The steam client is redownloading (all 12 gigs) so we'll see.


E: nm, soe support fixed it

Hey guys, I just jumped back in on my fresh-ish 30 HL Troller. Did they change how the HL Power Combos work now? Before I know they didn't trigger the role bonuses like stun and stuff but I've been noticing they debuff my targets when I combo.

Got a PS4 so I'm jumping in on this again. Wish I could port my ~70 cr ice tank from PC but I'm sure gearing up is just as easy now as it was back then.

If anyone wants to play some legends or level or whatever, hit me up, psn is Clizzby

This game definitely has exploration going for it at the very least. Been hunting down investigations and briefings between doing Solos and Duos the past couple days.

To answer my own question, no comboing Hard Light Powers does not give the debuffs for anything but the combo starter. With that and my desire to be in controller mode 24/7 it seems the best way to do things is still stun, apply buffs, pop Energy.

I'm really enjoying things though. The community has its share of dicks but I've also found some really nice people in there. Joined a league with one and it seems pretty nice so far.

If you're looking to come back don't expect a lot of organized activity but do expect the game to be some good fun.

I would totally play on PS4 if they let you activate your SOE account on PSN and retain all my membership bonuses, but nope. :argh:

"Not in this next expansion" is all we know for now.

Also they came SO CLOSE to giving me what I wanted and then yanked it away.

And we’re doing something else very interesting – Males and Females from both factions will have their own unique styles to collect. Females will be able to collect the Star Sapphire-inspired gear, and males will be able to earn and wear new gear inspired by the fearsome Manhunters, the original galactic peacekeepers created by the Guardians of the Universe.

Just trying this out on PS4 as it is being promoted on PSN+ until next week. I finished the tutorial and went to do the first mission in metropolis and it told me it has to download content and will take over 5 hours. Is this normal?

Also is the op still up to date?

Was just wondering this, but for the US side. There's a lot of new content and you get it all with a sub. Just wish I could be a Star Sapphire though

So do we still have a PS3/PS4 league? I'd like to join it now that I have a subscription.

Also: do we have any writeups for the Rage powerset yet? I haven't been through the entire thread but didn't see it in the OP.

EDIT: If I can't find an SA group, I'm happy to make one that I'll merge with a group I had already had ideas of making. Group names (hero and villain side) will follow in the next couple of days.

PS4 League is up!

Hero League: The Outcaste (lovely name, I know, but this was created on nothing but nicotine and sleep deprivation).

Message PSN tag TempusRimeblood for a League invite!

Currently we have a whole 2 members, and are still sub-30, but it's gonna happen! Endgame content will be a thing, as long as we have enough people to run it!

I'll message you for an invite later on tonight probably, as long as you can join leagues without being a subscriber! Playing with goons is a great incentive to get back into the game. Not looking forward to the SP grind again though, getting up to like 90 was a pain in the rear end last time. Maybe they made it easier? :/

Nah, it's related to a change they made to how stuff's sold. The full forum thread is here but the TL,DR is that packs are no longer a thing and their individual components are sold a la carte at cheaper prices (overall). There's also bundles that group like-things together, like a bundle for all of the first six powers, a bundle for all of the ancillary stuff like utility belts and lairs, etc.

Membership is obviously unchanged and you have unlimited access to everything while subbed.

Ah. I guess this means I'll have to actually log into the game to buy discounted DLC around sale time, then. For some dumb reason I keep picking up the packs I'm missing every Steam sale even though I haven't had time to play in about a year now.

Yeah, it is a bummer as far as Steam sales go, but half the time they'd only put a handful on sale and meanwhile the official SOE store would have lots more on sale, so meh.

This is pretty awesome, considering all I really want are the powers. Maybe some of the new zones and instances would be good to get too. As long as farming those sub avatar things is still the best way to get your CR up.

I'm amazed that this thread has 40 pages, but I haven't seen a single goon online on USPC in the time it's taken me to level two characters. It's so lonely in 'Goonlimited.' :(

Seriously, though, this is a decent game, why is there no goon guild?

Goonlimited was active about a year and a half ago, but my computer exploded and when I got back, the guys moved on.
I found a guild and stuck with it for a few months, getting involved before the last guild started up. simply didn't feel like trying.
frequently I quit the game and play something else for a couple months, come back to this one and play some more. usually lines up with renewed interest in a certain twitch streamer.

Basically, I'm just not all that into this game and I don't know/hang out with that many goons either. the Neverwinter guild was also more active when I played that.

The goon presence in DCUO has historically been very poor, you're better off joining a real guild.

My problem is that I fell behind in gearing up so I cannot play any of the new content. Apparently things were cleaned up somewhat but there is still no "gear catch-up" like you would see in WoW. Hunting for collectables also got really old. I do like the flight travel power and had it on all of my characters.
