I don't know how it is now, as I made mine before the changes that allowed foes to block break and whatnot, but Elec DP was bad as hell in DPS mode.

Anyone have a link to the old DCUO thread? I'm devouring any info/tips/tricks about this game I can get and I've already read through all of this thread, and couldn't find a link in the OP.

I'm sticking to SA for my info source since the wiki seems to be outdated and I never visit the official forums of any MMO, ever.

Here ya go.

Superspeed is loving awesome in this game, and I really wanted CoH to copy it. I knew they couldn't, but still.

When I get bored, I jump on the horizontal arm part of a traffic light, and just run in circles on it. :allears:

Shields came with The Last Laugh.

Unless something changed, the only ways to be able to use a Shield is to own that, or have a sub.

Also: Shields can be summed up as :black101:

Wow, the 'community' in this game is an elitist cesspool. I feel dirty wading through the forums.

I originally dived in to see if I cold figure out why one dude was shouting for cr98 people all night for his raid. Why would you need to do that hen there's the on duty interface and you can just queue up for one?

Apparently it's because people only want you in their raid if you already have gear drops from that raid, and that's totally not a circular catch-22. :psyduck:

Yeah, they're the worst. Shortly after The Last Laugh, I hit 30 on I forget which character. I was in Gotham, and someone was asking if anyone wanted to do Sub Avatar. I said I'd join, and also that I'd never done it before. They invited me to the team, I said thanks, again said that I'd never done it before, so that the rest of the team would know, and was promptly kicked from the team.

tl;dr: Don't play this game with any of the pubbies, because they're all jackassholes. Play with friends and/or goons.

If not, they're risking a false advertising suit, the cards still say "30 days game time or 1500 credits". I would assume that that still works because why the hell would they not?

Because they're not DCUO Specific. They'll work for a 30 day sub to any game that accepts them as such. DCUO changed, and no longer accepts them for subs.

I made a Villain for shits and giggles- tech and dual pistols. Hold down right click, everything in the room melts. Feels a little OP.

I did Elec/DP once. I think it was probably the fastest I ever got to 30, and I did it all solo. This was shortly after The Last Laugh came out, so I'm not sure how viable it is now...

I don't know how it holds up now, but not long after Shield came out, I made an Elec/DP/Healer that just murdered everything in sight from 1-30, only using gear that dropped.

I might check the game out after the revamp. I enjoyed it, just not the toxic community.
