The ingame channel? It's only text AFAIK, unless there's some ingame voice chat I turned off way back when and forgot abaout. I tried logging into the mumble server in the OP a couple times but nobody was ever in the DCUO channel/room

Just had some fun leveling with Warlocke Hero-side, I'll hop back on in a little bit as one of my villains. VVV Despite me having no god drat clue how to play a fire tank that I'd not touched in a year. ArchRanger fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jan 31, 2014 |

I haven't play this on PC since the Green Lantern expansion came out. Did the big patch they released just before the PS4 came out make a big difference, or is it pretty much the same thing?

It does text AND voice, the big issue is that custom channels don't ever tell you when someone logs in. If you're not constantly spamming "/1 (whatever)" there's no way to tell. Grimby posted:I haven't play this on PC since the Green Lantern expansion came out. Did the big patch they released just before the PS4 came out make a big difference, or is it pretty much the same thing? Yeah, the overhaul really changed the game. Just the short-list: levelling's faster, you get Marks of Triumph earlier so you can basically blow past T1/maybe T2 if you're saving and doing sidequests, bounties are A Threat again instead of dudes just soloing them for the drops, and they overhaul things on each patch that really just make for better ease of use for everyone at this point.

I'm not digging Rage as a powerset... feels really weak and crappy, and I feel squishy as hell for a tank, though that could be because I've been spoiled by playing an Ice tank to 30. Really had hoped they would have gone for the GL combo route with the Rage powers instead of a really lame and halfassed hybrid of the Celestial setup with the whole dumb Rage Crash thing. It just doesn't feel very Lantern-y at all.

The infinite combo stuff is Light's gimmick though, it would be kind of redundant for Rage to have the same mechanic. I haven't gotten to end-game stuff yet so I can't really judge the 'tankability' of Rage but it seems to really be planned around you being in 'rage mode' as often as possible (since you're basically unkillable outside of massive damage spikes during it) and timing your other powers to negate the crash at the end.

I think the trick with rage tanking is that as long as you can cancel rage crash reliably, you are basically completely invulnerable as long as you're juiced up, and furthermore basically require no healing, so the healers will be healing the rest of your group. This is a massive advantage over other tanks, who are not completely invulnerable and require healing.

My babby Rage tank is 21 and has ~38 Marks of Triumph simply from doing side missions (you get 1 MoT for each side mission now, they don't seem to reset every day but you do have the option of using 4 replay tokens to redo them). At this rate I should be able to buy 3-4 pieces of t1 gear as soon as I hit 30 I think. jerichojx posted:How important is it to grind out the Feats for SP?

Those are the only real ways to make your character 'stronger' after hitting level 30. That said, they just recently introduced a way to 'buy' feats with replay tokens as long as at least one of your characters earned that feat the hard way.

I'm CR 66 now, so almost at T3 too.

jerichojx posted:How important is it to grind out the Feats for SP? Because that sounds like a lot of drat grinding. It's really only a thing if you are playing with super-dedicated BEST PLAYERZ ONLY types, I think I've only ever been asked what my SP count was once. Usually it'll just be a check for your role's key stat or a flat "are you CR ##". That said, basically anyone will benefit from more just so you can buy other weapons (for more ability to take advantage of drops) and the Critical (Whatever Your Role Uses) percent bonuses. Beyond that you're just getting into "these do so very little anymore" territory. That said: on a lot of feats, just come back to them later, they're a hell of a lot easier if you don't go for them the instant you can. Styles are kind of time-consuming just because beyond a couple of them, you can't buy the pieces and it becomes drop roulette.

This didn't really answer my question. I didn't ask if it was hard. I was asking for the best way to do it seeing as how I've been playing for 3 days after not playing for roughly 2 years. This equates to me knowing approximately nothing about post-30 things.

Basically you run all the side-missions, hit the vault every chance you can (it'll spit a mark or two at you here and there), if you can open lockboxes those are bonus marks (plus they increase rewards by your gear tier), and run EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE/RAID. Someone in the league was doing this and hit T4 in about... 4 days? I think it took her? I just know it turned into a lot of "We need a healer to do every single thing in (tier)" each night.

Short version: a "walk-in" is when people premake a raid and then use one of the Watchtower/Hall of Doom teleporters to enter it with people below the CR lock. (At least one person has to be able to enter it normally, but then everyone else can piggyback in.) It's a mixed bag because everyone gets the marks at each checkpoint, but the below-CR people get no loot drops whatsoever, only marks, and none of the people AT-level get the monthly bonus at the end while getting locked for the week on each boss. Gates is a T4 raid that's kiiiinda easy to do this with because a lot of it comes down to "are your healers and tank good at their jobs" and it's not straight combat for the most part.

Synthetic mods are great. Salvaging hardly gets you anything back anyway, and they are reasonably priced for how long they typically get used. Also Syrg, I joined All Stars with the name Bubblegum Beater (my celestial) in case anyone asks you. Had a nice run of Stryker's with a couple of them.

If you're going to go into endgame, you want high Dom now, otherwise your powers are just not going to work on enemies. They linked Dom to "every so many points = 1 extra second of effect on an enemy" (I have no Controllers, I forget the exact formula, I'm sorry) and if your Dom isn't high enough at each tier they will straight up shrug off your debuffs/effects.

So this game is much more fun than I thought it would be. I'm in as Feminist Process, a Sorcery Villain. The damage side is pretty good, and the staff is pretty baller. Haven't tried out any healing stuff, or really done any group type things. Are the 4-mans worth doing at all? Or can I just come back later and solo them once I'm at the cap? Might try out a Hero this afternoon. Unsure what to make it though. Cross that bridge when I get there I guess.

OK, that's much better. I remember at one point it was something like every 2 Dom let you do 1 more point of damage to enemies before your own damage broke them out of CC effects, which was complete bullshit.

The four-mans are as fun as anything else. I like 'em, and unless you end up with a really crap team of pubbies they're pretty easy, especially if you aren't dead-set on playing DPS, as most pubbies seem allergic to doing anything else.

Made it to CR70 tonight and am really excited to try out the new (For me. My second highest character was CR64.) content. I was disappointed there were no solos/duos on the on duty tab, but the Ace Chemicals/Stryker's stuff seems cool, especially since it will only take 5 days to get a full set of armor. What are some fun raids/alerts to try (I'll do them all but can prioritize), and are there any obscure but really important details about any I should know about in order to not make an rear end out of myself (e.g. don't attack medics while their shields are up in Fortress of Solitude 3)? WarLocke posted:I just realized that the free armory you get from the base tutorial missions is pretty much completely useless unless you shell out for a second one. Haha yeah I thought the same thing. But if you do buy it, it is really awesome.

If you're talking about the missions that give you a reward every 5 dailies, they make you choose one piece of armor from the list every 5 days, it's not the full set. So it should be 40 days for the 8 pieces or 20 days if you count both missions. The 4 man operation is fun and easy. I've only played the hero version, so I don't know how different it is from the villains. If you play hero though, the only thing you need to keep in mind is to be careful in melee range of the second boss, it can kill you pretty quickly with its scream if you don't block or don't have a healer.
