Fuzz posted:You guys still playing this? Been on the last few days and no one else is. Oh I see that's still going on. "Hey guys everyone join the league!" (Cut to logging on and seeing zero people on every time for two weeks). We need to schedule some loving events I guess.

It's hypocritical of me to bitch since I've logged on once in the last two weeks, but yeah. This goon league thing is currently not working out. Do people get on Mumble a lot?

Well I've mentioned before I've never done a PUG that could do anything past Supergirl in FoS, so maybe an actual league of people who have the CR is the ticket.

tadashi posted:I played DCUO for the first time last night. I don't know how anyone could hate a free game with as many options for play styles as DCUO seems to have. Are there certain weapon styles that are better for certain roles than others? It seems like I keep seeing guides that indicate that some weapons give better bonuses depending on the role you're playing in a group? It looks like you can unlock different weapons on the same characters as you level up? Your weapon choice is not super-important (it won't make or break your character), and you should ultimately go with the weapon you most enjoy using. You will eventually have the skill points to unlock most or all of the weapons. This allows you to pick up all the passive bonuses on a weapon tree that would help your character (some weapons have better bonuses for a specific role). This also increases the amount of weapon drops you can roll need on, for when a weapon with good stats drops.

Maybe if the high-level game didn't rely on clipping animations and other pro-click DOTA bullshit that is not explained anywhere in the game but is tacitly assumed you know about already, much like the rest of the game's mechanics.

The Steam launcher has been bugged for a while for a lot of people. Probably the best thing to do is to download it from their site without Steam. This is what fixed it for me as far as I can remember.

mastajake posted:I almost wish there was a real drawback to Conttoller role though, because I'll be in it for soloing because it's fantastic crowd control. But then I will get in a group and have to switch to combat role so people don't yell at me for not constantly spamming the power button. Wouldn't it be incredible if the game A) Taught people how controllers are supposed to work or really the assumptions behind the game's combat B) Didn't make power generation a thing that only some controller powers do

WarLocke posted:C) Was built around Controllers actually controlling instead of being power batteries You can kinda do OK in my experience if you don't play assuming that you are going to get power-batteried. People really overlook what they are supposed to do with their weapons, which is understandable, because they're not motherfucking super powers. So what happens is you "learn" that you should burn your entire power supply immediately in every battle. I had to learn how to play fire tank on the message boards. The game really skimps on teaching you any concepts and assumes you have played WoW/will learn actual game-play on the Internet.

mastajake posted:The game is very friendly to free-to-play players as mostly you just miss out on an unlimited bank supply and lockboxes. It's not exceptionally friendly to new players though, as you aren't told practically anything relevant. These days on free mode you are missing a few power sets and the majority of the late game. That's OK though, because you feel like you are not getting what you want out of the game after you hit 30 and do that content a little, you should know that your opinion is unlikely to improve if you spend money.

Ice tanks are widely considered the easy-mode tanks but I don't know where earth tanks (or any further tank powersets I'm forgetting) figure in.

I wouldn't say there's a really an outright bad combo in this game, though some tryhards might be inclined to disagree. It's mostly what you enjoy, rather than what's best.

Goon clan presence has historically been stone dead for this game, no matter what gets said in the thread by people who insist that they're on all the time or that the clan is active.

Steve Vader posted:This could be interesting. I got one guy to Level 30 and then kinda felt like I didn't have anything interesting to do. I kept getting squashed by all those team-up events you're supposed to try and do, and running around collecting those fragment things to then go to the little factories and build boring things seemed... well, boring. You had to pay for all the episode content and I didn't want to do that... I didn't really understand the build-out/build-up process, I guess, or whatever that machine in my apartment was supposed to be for, bla bla I'm not an MMORPG guy usually, but I like DC stuff. That's where a lot of people die out in this game, because they constructed the progression poorly. You need little or no knowledge of how anything works before 30, and then suddenly blocking, close teamwork, and proper combos become very important.

As far as weaponry, I enjoy the staff on my current guy because it looks cool and it is very easy to do stuns with it. Hand blast plays really fun and is powerful.JuffoWup posted:I enjoyed bow when I played because of the air juggling. The reason you pick other weapons is not to take them, but to take advantageous passive bonuses, which is still a thing. Loot drops have been greatly liberalized, such that you can now pick out of a selection of drops and not worry about rolling on the same loving vendor trash run after run. It only took me about an hour of play to go from CR 100 to CR 105 (i.e. got six equipment drops). Previous to this new system, that was quite difficult.

It's not a game where you can gently caress up too badly by just doing whatever seems cool. I encourage you to test weapons out until you find one that you like the combos for.
