I'll add both you and Mr_Dread when I get back home from work.

Also Mr_Dread : If you are looking for a 4th spot in Last of Us MP, or want to jump in, hit me up. I think I'm on the left Faction (the scavenger guys).

I haven't played any TLoU multiplayer yet. As it turns out I'm phenomenally bad at the single-player, to the point where I'm afraid I threw away my money on a game I'll never be able to beat.

You know that one guy who spins around in circles and shoots all the bullets directly into the floor in every multiplayer game? That's me. That's what you're getting when you invite me to play. (I'll probably still try it)

You'll have a rough time doing that in MP, especially since you only generally start out with like 7 bullets. :)

Happy to help out a fellow goon and get some games in, though. As long as we stick together, we should be ok.

If I were to only get one DLC pack for now to unlock premium access, what do you guys suggest? I've done some research and I'm leaning towards Fight for the Light because a)new power that looks hilariously awesome (the helicopter alone almost sells me on it) and b)apparently it's a good stepping stone for just-hit-30 players to move up in CR. Thoughts?

Also, Brian and Titties I added both of you- look for a request from legit3incher

If you are not at the content yet, it's not much good to buy any of it unless you really want to play with a shield or a new powerset. It also goes on Steam sales from time to time.

All of the newer powersets seem to be at least slightly better than the old ones though.

Honestly, if you know you like the game enough to do more than just dabble, wait and grab the Legendary pack because it's a good deal, especially if it goes on Steam sale in July.

Everything changes, Pit.

So apparently the PS4 version of this game is going to have cross-platform play with the PC servers. Good news, I'd say, but sadly the PS3 players will be left behind on a dead console on isolated servers forever.

If nothing else, I'm sure this means there'll continue to be updates for quite a while for the game. I should try to get back into it.

So I just started playing this on PS3. I made a ice dude on the villain side that made it to level 8 last night, and I'm enjoying it so far. I read in the OP that respecs are essentially free, but was wondering when and how I can go about that. Anyway, if anyone wants to hook up, my PSN ID is Pharmacopeia.

Go to the Watchtower/Hall of Doom, there'll be a device (marked on your map, I want to say) that'll let you reallocate all points for $500. More if you use it repeatedly in a row.

As a side note, the cost of respecs goes back down to $500 after 1 day. It goes up to $650 then $800, etc. Don't respec more than once a day, in the long run unless you are doing T5 content you can get by with just about anything (you may get yelled at though...)

If this is true, I see it as crap, I doubt they will migrate accounts and I will not start over. If I wanted to play on PC I'd play on PC. A little nerd ragey so sorry for that but I see this as a total bonehead move. Can't wait till the PS crowd ruin the AH on PC side and dick up every PUG.

I stole this from some GameFaqs post but it seems to be accurate:

Basically, you go to any PvP vendor in each wing of your headquarters and can purchase the T0 set for in game cash. The vendors for Hero are Robin, Aquaman, and Hawkgirl. For Villain they are Two-Face, Faust, and Ursa. This is the Aerial Crusader gear for Heroes and the style is Archangel. This is Aerial Devastator for Villains and the style is Blood Bat.
If you purchase all the gear including two rings, face, neck, and weapon, you should be at PvP CR77. This is new gear and even if you already have this style, if your PvP CR is less than 77 you should purchase this gear to upgrade. There is no way to get the old gear. You can delete your old PvP gear and salvage any exobytes you used for mods.

Once you are PvP CR77, you can go to any PvP vendor and purchase the T1 set for Marks of Valor. There are several sets to choose from. The basic set for heroes is style Avatar Bombardier and is CR level 81. You will have to get to PvP CR 82 before you can even see the next level of gear T2. Every vendor should sell that basic Avatar Bombardier set. In addition, each vendor sells an additional set corresponding to the old set styles. For example, Aquaman in the Magic Wing sells a T1 set with the style Aegis of Eternity. The stats are the same for all 4 sets of T1 PvP gear.

Once you are CR82, you have to go to the Hall of Heroes to get higher level gear.
The vendors that carry tiers 2 through 4 can be found in between the Meta and Magic wings of the Watchtower.

I hope to god one of the upcoming game updates adds in a new vendor or this stuff to the cash shop or SOMETHING to get use out of all these now-vanished styles. Seriously, nothing worse than just removing something that's already in there and you've done the work on.

It is so so so so so nice to not have to pug t3a. We even have a goon-only perfect dps/troll/heal/tank setup! How do you actually break into t4 without buying a full set of t3 gear though? All of t3 content (including FOS) seems to only drop CR64.

The T3 raids drop CR70CR62 and the gear from the T3 Vendor is CR70. You're better off getting T2.5 (if you have Central City) and modding those while mixing in some CR70 stuff.

Just realized you can make more than 2 characters if you create multiple Station names under the same email address. Cool! I am really considering dropping the $30 for legendary, but I want to get at least one character to 30 first and see what's what, because the best value for the legendary seems to be getting those 4 DLC's. Spending the $30 gives you infinite in game cash and a lot of character slots too, right? Or is that only if you subscribe?

Resetting my password because of the Error nonsense earlier reset all my controller and game settings :cool: Really instilling confidence in me to drop that $30, SOE!

I like how 'unable to launch the game at all' is apparently a low enough priority bug to go unfixed for a whole month. Sure, a workaround exists but that just seems like the sort of thing that should be jumped on and fixed immediately if not sooner.

So anyone who has run an instance with me more than once knows that I typically change my entire look up on Blutkrieg about twice a week.



This week it's Red Skull meets Captain Planet villain. Why am I wearing power armor? Obviously so I can do this whenever I move:





Also, crab-claw-of-death dual weapon style thanks to the Aegis of Azerath hands, which like most Magic sets is one of the better-looking in the game.

I like to change up my style sometimes. What I think would be great is if we ran with themes as a league. As in once a week the league MOTD gets changed to include a different costume theme and people customize their outfits in accordance with that theme, stuff like different eras in comic books, wild west, tokusatsu, Ming the merciless, smart casual. It's a super corny idea and of course it'd be totally optional, but I really like corny stuff, particularly in a corny game like DCUO.

I just started this yesterday, just felt like taking a break from STO. It's interesting so far but I have one major gripe.

HOW IN THE BLOODY HELL DO I SHUT UP GOLD FARMER ADS!?

They were popping up while running around in Metropolis, but when I made it to legion of doom headquarters, my god. Ads were being spammed CONSTANTLY and on multiple chat channels, by one bot just standing there. I couldn't find any way to report it, or ignore it. In STO it's easy, just clike on the name in the chat channel and hit report, bang. Reported and ignored in one go, I couldn't find a way to do it in this game. Hints please?
