So I assume everyone is on PC? I have a fire user villian named Sindus but it's PS3 and only just about level 16 so I have awhile to be useful. Also what is up with the named bounties I tried to take on some statue thing that says it's level 12 and it smacked me around like a naughty dog and I did maybe a quarter inch of damage to it.

Bounties are group activities, so you'll need two or three dudes to smash them.

Nothing to see here.
So, I'm really digging the AoE on Rifle mixed in with the knock down AoE from Ignition - Fire line. However, I am finding it hard to balance Precision and Might. Is this something I'm going to have to do one or the other on as I level up more?

Also, if anyone in the league wants to visit Krieghaus, use the vending machine, and maybe inspect the torture chamber, it's just south of Amusement Mile in Gotham, enshrouded in Scarecrow's terrifying fart gas.

I was having this same dilemna and I had been stacking might over all else. The reasoning was it was great fun in pvp to start whacking away at a guy doing piss damage then bursting the living piss out of him when he found me no threat. God so many people whig hard on that but I was seriously gimping myself in pve for leveling. I suggest if your goal is to level then maximize precision and defense. Don't have to worry about power drains and should be tough enough to solo most things.

Edit: I am an ignition fire user too btw.

Kind of sucks you can get a trinket drop that you cant use with out the proper DLC. So tempted to buy the ultimate pack they have on sale.

fire is, unless I am mistaken, mostly might-based damage anyway. consider might your primary upgrade stat and take precision where you can. precision isn't available in nearly as high quantity. I get the impression that's intentional.

For leveling to max level, all of the frills are really unnecessary. The game's leveling difficulty was designed without any DLC at all. I look at those add-ons (Home Turf's base additions and the trinkets) as turning the game on easy mode or using cheat codes in single player games. Let's face it, it's not like MMOs, especially DCUO, are hard in the first place. IMO if you get DLC, first get the ones that add the gameplay content you want to see, then worry about the frills later.

What's happening?
Do you do most of your damage with your left and right click, aka your weapon? Take precision.
Do you do most of your damage with your 1-6? Take might.

Is this still the meta? How does Light fight into that? :psyduck:

oh yeah I know the game is balls easy. As for DLC I got the green lantern one back when it came out and the combos for it are fun as hell. If the DLCs turn everything into easy mode I might level up normal then and get it for the next character.

Really on the fence about just getting the SOE All Access pass... I already sub for Planetside 2 for 9.99/month, if I bit the bullet for 12 months I could get that and this game for $14.99/month... problem is all the other SOE games are mostly terrible, though Dragon's Prophet looks sort of neat.

Thoughts?

it's more like looking at your damage and seeing if the majority of it is colored white or yellow.

white for precision, yellow for might. hard light is primarily precison(white) damage.

I can't figure out a weapon to use with my new Quantum powered villain. I like the idea with Hand Blasters, but Dual Wield, Pistols and Brawling also look fun. Someone make up my mind for me.

Are Bounties doable with heroes and villains participating? I caught some heroes beating on Bizzaro and jumped in since I had the quest, and though he went down I didn't get credit (got the stupid achievement though). Not sure if I have to do a certain amount of damage or tag him with the first hit or what.

That's pretty strange, you can usually complete a bounty so long as you have any kind of damage on the target at all. Also killing heroes while they are trying to do bounties is super funny and you should always do it.

I got it my second attempt, must have been a bug or something.

Also, I'm wanting to like Dual Pistols but it seems like the ranged attacks are a little scattered and sluggish. Trying them with sorcery for a bit of a thematic mixup.

What's this about all users needing to reset their passwords? I got 2 emails about password reset attempts on my account so I logged in and it says I need to reset my password, I do that and it says I can't reset because it's been reset too many times in the last day.

EDIT: Got it to send me a reset email and changed my password that way. Now it says my password is wrong.

Well I didn't follow any links in the email. Went to the website myself, so something IS going on on Sony's end whether or not this was a fishing email.

I can't contact support at all because you have to be logged in to do anything. And Phone, chat, and Twitter are gone on the weekends. It says to create a temporary account to contact them in these situations but even THAT is down. Jesus Christ.

I got a Crybernatic Helmet in my lockbox last night! Woo, asking price on the AH is like 2 million... oh, it costs like 100k to put something up for that price. This AH sucks rear end.

Ended up trading it to some guy for Doomsday's back and a few green exobytes. No idea what the value of this stuff is, but I figured what the hell.

Don't worry, I'm also constantly always the only one on too. Seems like a lot of people play at completely different times. Also I'm the only person ever doing any kind PVP which is kind of a pain in the butt.
