Thanks for the update.
>Using Catwoman as a stand in for being Wonder Woman's arch-nemesis.
Being Cheetah is suffering.
>>77666723
Circe is the Wonder Woman counterpart in-game
>>77666723
Villains should have been Luthor/Talia/Adam if they needed a female and a "magic" user
I know Joker is popular, but he's really lame as a mentor choice.
I feel like Luthor was the only good mentor on the villains side too.
>>77666880
Circe is fine too
Joker is a different style of mentor, different attitude to Lex
>>77666565
The amount of pay2win is pretty absurd.
Like the escrow system is just there because fuck you pay me and it adds literally nothing to the game while making the auction house borderline unusable.
>>77667073
No decent equipment until level 30 either, that's where the game begins, quite off putting
>>77666849
>Talia
Who?
I realized this one hour in and stopped playing there.
>>77666565
I could never maintain interest after escaping Brainiacs ship.>>77666666
support well animated gameslike Indivisible
>>77667211
yeah, and even then, you start getting those screws in you that try to get you to pry open your wallet.
you need to pay at least 5 dollars just to make the game manageable
I liked it alot untill i got to like tier 4 endgame
>>77666565
I have over 450 hours in the game. Spread over something like 6 years.
Very off and on game for me, I come back only when they add new content, play it. Get my main up to new highest CR, then dick around with other characters.
It's good for a few things.
>Making either a Hero or Villain and beating up Iconic characters.
>Rolling with cheap Marvel Knockoffs go fight DC hero or Villains.
>Fucking around Gotham and Metropolis.
It's in no way a good game, but not many MMO's have gotten down the system of, let the player dick around.
>>77667747
>just $5 for premium
>just another $5 for a sub+premium
>just another $10 for another month sub and $5 in game cash
Really tempted, want Goth Leggings
ive got 135 hours
its alright, but endgame is weak
>>77667812
What MMOs are actually good?
>>77667858
Good is hard to pin down.
So I'll focus only on MMO's that kept my interest longer than the initial day or two, since many games front load content to keep new players going.
>DCUO, as I said I have over 450 hours, but I'm an off and on, so once you hit end game, unless you enjoy raids all the time, there isn't much to do.
>SWTOR, Not much end game content, they don't add raids or that very often. But for a F2P that gives you 8 class stories with some choices, its Bioware, its pretty hard to beat. Give the Empire side a play through, it seems all the good writers were working on that.
>Wildstar, combat is active, twitchy really, but it went F2P and its pretty fun, has some players now, so its not lonely.
>Tera, looks pretty, plays well, feels a little clunky, but to be honest it kinda needs to or else it would feel flighty. It doesn't do anything wrong, but you feel like something is missing.
SWTOR, really feels like they push subscriptions on you hard though.
>>77667996
What about WoW?
>>77667823
I bought them, used them once to make a Zatanna iconic and never wore them again
>>77666880
I have one tech mentor on the hero side. Gotham shit is boring. I'd rather be fighting amazons and beastiamorphs or turning Star labs employees into gorrilas. Screw Gotham, Metropolis is where it's at
>>77668153
I always called WoW, crack. You try it once and either you're hooked or it does nothing. I tried it and got nothing out of it, so I don't play it.
>>77668369
I honestly found CoH to be more enjoyable than WoW.
I stopped playing pretty early on because there were high level villains waiting by the start point of early story missions that kept killing me and not letting me through the door
>>77666565
Hero
>Fire hero, superspeed, dual weilding (swords)/martial arts
>Munitions hero, acrobatics, dual pistols
>Celestial hero, skimming, shield/dual pistols
Villains
>Electric villain, superspeed, martial arts
>Magic villain, flight, bow
>Atomic villain, superspeed, brawling
Which one of my teams would win?
I like the game, the missions going up to level 30 are always fun, but after that it gets kinda boring having to do the same alerts and rates over and over again to build up the combat rating. Plus now I need too do feats to build up my skill points. All the new DLC and episodes are for the highest levels which sucks. And then there are the fags who try and take control of the team and then rage quit because the team they are with arent a well oiled murder machine. Super speed is the GOAT movement mode, and I log on sometimes just to run around the city. It's that satisfying. It's really a matter uf how much time you're willing to put into the game
>>77668448
Were you doing PvP? Or did you just not have any armor? I always go PvE when I make a character because i'm not going to put up with their shit
>>77668380
Oh man, CoH, now that was a wild ride. I still miss it.

>>77667552
Fuck Arkham City.
>>77669895
>still mad
Let it go Talia
Combat was DECENT for a MMO when it was released and it was fun having my donut steel beat up DC characters
but besides that it ain't worth much
>>77666565
Basically my reaction
MMOs are horrendous.
The amount of Deadpools never ceases to disgust me
>>77669858
Especially squirrel girl
>tfw they banned my character because I didn't migrate
>>77670142

Anyone dropped money on this?

I did, but I stopped when I realized my characters were not at a high enough level to use the DLC.
>>77666723
I'm still annoyed that loser The Joker is up front and Luther is in the middle. Luther is literally the catalyst that drove the plot of the game.
>>77669723

>>77670420
>>77670444

It works with my story okay
>>77670454
>>77670484
And that's that.
>>77666565
10 hours is crazy
the game sucks compared to CoH, let alone WoW
It should have been the easiest sell to me. SOE are a bunch of cock gobblers though, unsurprising they gated all the powers behind some dumb paywall instead of making them free over time.
>>77670523
>they gated all the powers behind some dumb paywall instead of making them free over time.
why the hell should they make it free over time?

I came in to dcuo knowing nothing about MMOs and leveling up different stats, but at least I look good when I get my ass kicked
>>77670414
ouch
>>77670523
literally five dollars
>>77670523
>the game sucks compared to CoH
I wouldn't say it sucks, but with CoH i had way more fun playing
But maybe it's because when i played CoH i was pretty active in my guild, was friends with a bunch of people and on DCUO i was more of a loner(i actually feel like the social part of mmo's has been dying for a time now)
>>77670414
rip
>>77670625
Because it allows new players to catch up on content instead of putting up paywalls that end up hurting long term growth and segmenting the player base. WoW, SWTOR and other MMOs make expansions free after a period of time for this very reason.
>>77670771
>social part of mmo's has been dying for a time now
Yeah every league I joined was dead. The owner either added tons of people for no reason to have a big league. No one ever reaches out, you're a part of the league in name only. If someone invites me i'll join but I end up leaving after a while.

I played Champions Online for a bit. Honestly the character creator was what I had the most fun with.
We can never go back.
>>77670968
>>77671042
What happened to them?
>>77671092
CoH died, Champions Online is still somehow around.
>>77671092
City of Heroes died an unjust death
Champions Online stayed alive by being Free 2 Play and not needing new content over the course of 5 years.
>>77670968
That first guy has a penis on his chest. It's important that you know this.
>>77666565
It took you ten whole hours? Are you a sloth?
>>77671406
MMOs are all about endgame and DCUO is one of the easiest games to get to the endgame.
>>77669723
I love this game honest. Cool heroes, cool combat, surprisingly huge character builder once you get more styles and unlocks and stuff.
This dude gets it >>77667812
It's really a comfy game. You can do whatever, save suicidal civilians, beat the snot outta toyman, some good stuff. It's comfy.
Also Calculator is based
Here's an experience some friends and I went through
>Playing DCUO with some friends
>never been to gotham
>decide to go see what's up over there
>start a quest involving bane
>halfway done
>sinestro corps member shows up and kills two of us
>come back and beat his ass
>finish the quest
>take a break and lounge around gotham with some friends
>friend says to look in the distance
>a cloud of yellow is flying right toward us
>the sinestro corps member brought his fucking gang
>take off towards safe zone
>they catch me and kill me
>camps the safe zone waiting for us to respawn
>activate the full power of the speed force and dash across the ocean
>immediately port to the watchtower
>never go to gotham again
it was pretty fun running from the Sinestro Corps like that, there was also this time I fell out of watch tower and drifted through space. 8/10 would play it again if my CPU wasn't shit
>>77667858
This and Warframe
>>77675359
God, I always like to use the grapling gun and stealth to run from Heroes, good times
>>77674295
Calculator is probably one of the best characters in the whole game
>>77666565
I played this game and had a really enjoyable time. Much more fun than any of the Batman: Arkham Bullshit games. I chose Batman as my mentor and made a huge, bulky dude with a casual, laid back body language, similar to TAS Harvey Bullock I guess. He wore all black and yellow, boots and gloves, tactical pockets everywhere and had a sweet leather jacket with a bear paw on it. I spent a stupid amount of time just parkouring around Gotham and climbing up buildings with my "bear" hands.
I beat all of the missions in Gotham by myself. I know that defeats the purpose of a MMO, but my tv was tiny at the time and I never figured out how to enlarge the text box. So I managed to stealth my way through every dungeon and beat every boss on my own somehow. It felt like something Batman would do anyways.
Once I got to Metropolis I finally had to team up with other players which was super fun. It felt like I was really playing my part on a team of superheroes, pepper spraying, tazing and entrapping hoards of enemies while the heroes with powers swooped in and finished them off. Felt like I was the "Batman" of the team.
There are also a lot of cool buildings in Metropolis with rooftop gardens and parks that are fun to chill in.
>>77670101
By that do you mean the old Red/Black, or do you mean people who make comical characters and use guns.
Cause guns are fun.
>>77676958
Red and black, dual wielding, as close to deadpools costume as possible. Guns are fun
>>77667858

Champs player here, I still use it for RP but it's becoming more and more infrequent
I mostly stick around because I'm still pretty good friends with a lot of the people I met there
God I want some new content though
I always wanted to know. Who did the game ehmm.. Cinematics? ( you know the ones that appears after you complete a mission/ques/whataver), It always looked like some sort of Jim Lee inspired art
>>77677475
I thought it was Jim Lee?
>>77666849
magic should have been Tala but i hated the whole distinction between magic, gadgets, and meta. One mentor gets 6 powers while the others get 1 each.
Going with the Trinity was obvious for Heroes but it should have been something like mystic, meta, and some name for street level heroism
>>77677572
Circe>Tala
Playing DCUO mostly just made me wish that there was a proper open world make-your-own-superhero game that wasn't held back by MMO fuckery.
Hvae any of you found Superman or Batman in the game?
I remember playing one day and I was bored as fuck so I decide to pass the time scaling building and I reached one of the tallest in Metropolis I found Superman and he punched the fuck out fo my character, luckily I was level 30 (my character was a villain)
>>77678696
yes, there is a feat for finding heroes and villains just hanging around in the city. You can look up a map online and they will show you the specific spots those heroes and villains randomly spawn at
>>77674295
Shame you have to buy certain styles
>>77678490
Yeah me too. I often wondered about the possibility of DCUO having a single player mode. I always thought that the story was interesting for a single player mode. The devs can even split some things as DLC/Expansions
>>77670267
So sorry
Think I'll spring for premium
It's actually pretty fun. I've played it and come back a couple times(when I have money) Villains are fun, and even though it's been a while, I LOVED being a rage Tank. I really wanted to try the Light power, but I couldn't figure that shit out.
>All this love for superspeed.
>Not using the acrobatics jetpack to fly straight up 20 stories in the span of a second to joke out opposing players.

My nigga
>>77679300
I do enjoy Acrobatics, and it was my first (and second, and third) movement type. Superspeed was the last one I tried, but doing the hyperspeed autorun, flipping around on lightposts, or running up buildings and jumping off is just too damn fun.
>>77679743

Huh, maybe I should reinstall and play the Paramilitant again.

>start out as a pulp detective/The Shadow rip-off
>forget to lock your looks and before I lose interest in the game I end up looking like some Alice Cooper+Hannibal Lecter comboI don't care how edgy it is, I'm fine with that
Why do they make it so annoying to color my costume?
>>77681296
I want four color slots, not three. But to change it now would be alot of work because they would have to re separate the color options on each piece of armor?
>>77681327
yeah but why can't I just color my costume by piece instead of having a two color pallet?
I know DC heroes tend to focus on simpler designs but still
>>77681296
>>77681354
The worst part is that the palette applies to your weapon whether you want it to or not, so if your outfit has bright colors then your weapons can end up looking like cheap plastic toys.
On a semi-related note they really need to let people customize their starting weapon's appearance.
>>77681419
I paid for a brief amount of time, and the energy weapons are pretty cool. I got the red ones for my rage tank. I agree with what you're saying for the most part, though.
>>77681419
I don't think I ever played with a weapon.
How are a lantern powers?
>>77681507
Too much fun.
I'm really digging the Atomic powerset
>>77671042
I miss my characters so god damn much.
>>77681567
well I know what Im playing then
>>77681507
Rifles are EZ modo.
>Hold right click for machine gun fire
>mash S to backflip until mortar strike
>continue holding right click and mashing S for infinite mortar strike
>>77681582
How's it work?
How's the Munitions power?
>>77681636
I only just started using it but it's fun. It's a takning set, so there are armors but the coolest thing for me is linking the special attacks. like if I use one attack it gives me a neutron (or something) and makes another special attack double power, and then if I use another power after that I get even morestrenght in my attacks. And it looks great
hows the game play on PS4
>>77681744
I imagine that it would be better, but I can't afford a PS4 to find out.
I played it once and just flew around for a while
I still have fond memories of just that though
how's Champions?
>>77682107
ERPy
>>77677291
at least Cryptic/PWE seem to sloooooowly be rembering that the game exists, the updates havn't been big but it's been better than nothing, in the way a single ritz cracker when you're starving is better than no food at all but still... it's something...ish
>>77669723
I've played this game since beta. Quit about 3 years ago and never looked back.
This game was fantastic for like 2 years after launch. Then they just fully jew'd out everyone and each patch made things worse.
>>77682248
I want to go as you for halloween
I never played DCUO. But I played CoH for years and loved it.
Everyone I know who is into MMOs didn't really like CoH though.
go.
hunt.
kill skuls
Thinking of starting up a new character, someone gimme ideas for a superpowers man.
>>77682552
make a speedster. Are speedster cool in this? I want to be a speedster?
Do we have a guild?
>>77681624
literally just spam this for infinite stun lock+high damage
>>77666565
It took me 2 games and a bunch of f2p and betas to finally realize MMORPGs suck complete dick. I'm a huge fan of RPGs but MMO game design is just so bland and boring. Unless you have a few friends you can play with consistently there is literally no appeal to playing them.
>>77682560
Characters have a weapon type/fighting style, super power, and a way of getting around.
Speedster is one of the four movement types along with acrobatics, flight, and DLC hoverboots.
Personally I prefer acrobatics, speedsters have an awful tendency to run up walls n shit while flight is just boring.
>>77682574
I really like the idea of MMO's on paper but every time I get into one it's just.. ugh
>>77682599
>speedsters have an awful tendency to run up walls n shit.
Im not seeing a negative
>>77667996
>recommending TORtanic
Even as a free game I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The art direction and graphics are incredibly ugly, a shitload of basic features are hidden behind a paywall, and the story is written by post-DA2 Bioware.
>>77682613
I mean unintentionally, you get to close to a wall and suddenly you're running at a 90 degree angle from where you want to go.
>>77682633
okay but it's all gravy if I WANT to run up walls then?

>>77682670
and so The Avenging Hedgehog is born
>>77682606
Same. RPGs are literally my favorite genre but I haven't played a single MMO where I actually thought the gameplay was fun. As I said, the level design is usually just filler made for the intent of constant grinding. I can usually tolerate grinding, but there comes a time my patience dwindles and I simply realize I'm not actually having any fun playing the game. It's such a shame too, there are plenty of MMOs out there where I really dig certain aspects of it like the Secret World and you can really see a glimmer of originality but it's all brought down by all the MMO mechanics.
>>77682615
Not >>77667996, but I've started playing it recently and I find it to be an alright game. Yes, there's a stupid amount of stuff locked behind paywalls, like not having storage space on your own ship, or actually getting certain quest rewards denied to you (fucking bounty hunter credit boxes), the combat is decent and the writing isn't bad. I suppose I'm also just easily amused by shocking people to death with UNLIMITED POWER as a sith sorcerer.
>>77682747
The gameplay is literally just a re-skin of WoW abilities and WoW has shit combat. The story can be decent at times, but even Fallout 4 has better writing. Hell, Fallout 4 has better companions too. Keep in mind, Fallout 4 is a Bethesda game, a company whose writing skills are less than stellar.
I played FF11. Did anyone else?
>>77683044
Damn this takes me back. I really wish they go F2P for all the content instead of doing these micro-transaction bullshit though, and if they want money, do something similar to the skin system in LoL. Really sad.
