Anyone know this game before? -DC Universe Online Details Unveiled
a new PC and PS3 MMO in development at Sony Online Entertainment seems to be very awesome.

it's gonna be a City of Heroes/Villain clone.

Sony Online? They're gonna destroy the game just as they did to SWG.

CLONE? I bet you need a dictionary. I would say it will be a CoX killer but with Champion Online coming out in future, its going to be a huge Hero genre MMO battle. Couldnt wait to see what is the outcome of it.

SOE always can have some awesome game. i am waiting for it.

when da game gonna b release??

one more year...
reading up on this.. I think it could be a good one.

Didnt you realise? The codes only work for those who lives in NA ( North America ).

for people who know proxy.....

Hi guys,

the game is released!

Have anyone played it on the PC?

Any got feedback? please let the rest of us know and maybe us m'sians can play together!

I've been following up this game too.. the trailer is superbly amazing.

im too interested to know what is the latency like for this game.

no word on Oceanic server, so i dont think the latency will be good..

can we get this for PC in malaysia? anyone?

It's not available for our region when i try to buy it on Steam. Anyone know how can I get the retail box instead?

Gorillas with pistols? Ooookkkk...I pass.

anyone need a buddy key to try out the game pm me..i ll sent them ASAP to you

@numloque : buy the cd code from offgamers (RM157++), then u can download the installer from their official forum. Then the launcher will update for like 12.1GB

clearly, you are not DC fan....this game is for DC fan.... i hear this game is better play with gamepad....

This post has been edited by mrhulk: Jan 14 2011, 02:42 PM

The game from what i heard is actually better and more polished then CO and COX. The launch impression is almost perfect with no complaints coming in by the hundreds on the first day. A suprising event that most MMO's these days don't ussually have on the first day. Plus have been watching a ful walkthrough of it on youtube by Totalbiscut, from what i see its as good as it gets from a superhero gerne for MMO. The controls are tight, the graphics are sharp, the gamplay is actually fun, the map is huge, the variety is even better then CO.

The only downfall at the moment is the end game content is somewhat non existent or easy. You can max everything at 2-3 weeks depending on how much you play. But on its first time out, for an MMO, its already a miracle no major issues of the game has been reported or trolled out.

And yes, gorillas carry pistols, if you never read a DC comic then you have not even considered even heard of the Flash or Gorilla Grod. So your argument is voided.

If you want something new and not having to regret it for being a piece of crap. Then this might be an option for you. If you have already been suckered into buying the NEW FINAL FANTASY ONLINE, then you will will happily find this a way better buy then that con job title.

Its a fun game to play, but don't expect content as huge as WOW. Only an idiot will compare content amount of any game to WOW. 2 weeks to ? years?

hw is the latency? before i itchy hand go buy it =x

No asian server, so expect Ping 300. From a good point i here the client and server is pretty stable.

This post has been edited by meetxj9: Jan 14 2011, 07:19 PM

bought it =_=.... 12gb to download.. go to sleep 1st

Please if got buddy key can i have it?

I have seen so much of the game that i rally want to play it. If you have to wait i give you this link to see. Its everything you will ever know during beta. So have a nice time viewing this guy, he makes alot of good points about how this game is done just right. Its not the most amazing thing you will ever see, but you get to play a action packed game compared to the a click and act game. He got me very interested in the game and start to question every click and act game ever.

So the PC version doesn't suffer from the freezing issues that the PS3 is suffering from?

Not that we know off.

Can we get this on PC here? can't get it online.

I play from Malaysia an after looking around, most people claim it is not available in our country as of yet. However, you can purchase DC universe online, digital copy ( Only CD KEY ).

To do this you will need to visit :

- http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/buynow/
- Select America - > Digital Distribution ( Station Sony ) -> PC
- Follow the registration steps and you'll get your DC universe online.

Note that it is a huge download for most Malaysians

----

A group of friends and I will be playing on server : Public Enemies, Faction : Hero. Hopefully we can play together

Thanks! You guys on US or EU?

i am playing on US server (Death & Glory). The server was fully packed with heroes and villians this morning, and we can see so many pvp/gank action everywhere. Anyone playing in that server, can play with me, just pm Too Cool (heroes anyway).

p/s: i already handed out my buddy key. Sorry guys.

you just make me want to create Too Poyo in DC Universe Online.

I want this game now.......i have seen too much good things about it already.

i have PS3 version and keep asking me the activation code which is displayed on the box.but entered it and still wrong code.is there something im doing wrong???

I can't say much about the ps3 version. Most online players here i think are pc users. You might want to contact SOE about that.

found the problem...need to play with UK/US account.

You need a US PSN account.

US - Public Enemies - Hero's

Time to start theorycrafting

SHAZAMMMMM

i never thought i'll love a mmorpg again after so many i tried.... but damn tis game is FUN!!!!!

I'm considering... Im a casual gamer... Will that work?

Man this game does look sweet. I went into Champs Online for a while and got out of it due to lack of end game content.

Thinking of giving this game a try. Anyone with extra buddy codes for me to try?

For those who want to play this on their PC, I got the game from PCgamesupply.com (digital download).. received a call 15 minutes later and got my activation code..

Subscribing on the other hand was a bit tricky, you need to put in your credit card information (even though it's $0.00, 30 days free) on their database for future subscription, except my CIMB credit card apparently got rejected because it doesn't have "recurring billing method"? I had tech help from both CIMB and SOE and they both can't do anything about it..

My bestfriend helped me out with her Maybank credit card and I've been playing 2 days non-stop..

Also note, for those who's having credit card problems, you can just buy the SOE 30-day gaming card (same price) tho I haven't tried this method but i'm sure it works..

Look for me! Villain (cause it's so much more fun being evil) named Tidy Whitey on the "Public Enemies" US server..

Cheers!

SPES you're having trouble with your card? are you using mastercard or VISA? I noticed that my master has problems with international purchases.

I got it to work with my CIMB VISA without trouble though. Also, you can use your VISA to buy from the station store. no problems really. i got it all done in 5 mins.

actually this was the first time I've got problems with my mastercard.. I've made international purchases before.. but my friend's Maybank Debt Card works fine..

Spes, madtoilet, how's the latency for you guys? What's your connection speed & package and location? Thanx in advance

I had trouble with mastercard for WoW payments.. i guess master just don't want me to play games.

Odinn, i'm on unifi 10mbps and i do not see a single hint of lag. There's no noticable delay while playing the game (even for pvp).

Thanx for the update. Where'd you get your copy from? I'd want to get the game in box but don't know how long to wait for it to be available locally..

Playing like a charm. From what i hear it has some weird bugs but i don't seem to see it. Might be driver related. And for got sakes if you buy the PC version, restart your PC first before playing. It does clear up alot of lag if you do.

Just wondering, are you guys (on the PC obviously) playing this on keyboard+mouse or with a joypad? I have been reading alot of online articles stating that the game looks like it was designed around a joypad (specifically, ps3 joypad) instead of kb+m.

I am playing on kb+mouse. Its still cool btw especially when executing the skills on the bar. I also have a xbox360 controller but i dont use it for this game.

@Treader: I think it depends on luck to get that kind of bug. Until now didnt have a single bug yet. atm at lvl20. Its cool game u know, for me at least.

Did everyone here get the game via digital download?

this is a review of the beta. The video came out on January 6th before game release.

Right ! I'm sold and am wanting to purchase . Whats the easiest, hassle free way to get the PC digital ?

I've seen some get it direct from DCUO site, Offgamers, PCGamesupply and etc. Just need some feedback coz, kinda worried, I don't wanna invest then get screwed with all that invalid code nonsense that make you run round like a headless chicken .

Thanks for any info .

me i dwnload the game from their official forum. Then i bought the code from Offgamers. But then u will need to patch the game for like 12.1GB tho. It takes me 8hrs to finished that.

This game rocks, i have been playing it for 2 days already. The combat is the main attraction for me because it actually feels like im doing something while mashing buttons. Watch out for hyperspeed gankers, they will run towards you and fuuck you over. Always stand on top of the highest buildings to see who is where to gank. FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!! Hoping for more content and patches very soon. I want to see them introduce a chapter related event where it involves everyone. Maybe include the INFINITE CRISIS thing . If they keep doing something like that, im sold for life.

Check this out, its funny as hell.

Go to station.sony.com and sign up for an account. State that you live in the states and purchase your copy from there along with your monthly subscription

No need to bounce around to a bunch of sites. 12 gig DL for the game so try to do it before you sleep. Only takes about 3.5 hrs if you're on 10mbps unifi tho

Rights ! After a painful 14 hours of patching (YES 14, don't ask me why, but its probably the rain, and thats the excuse I always get from Streamyx) I managed to get the game running.

Graphics were suprisingly stunning, given how busy some of the scenes can get. Gameplay, I must say that bashing the mouse isn't as fun as mashing the buttons on the controller, so I hooked my PS3 controller up.

Latency was my biggest worry since it took me 14 hours compared to the commonly reported 8 to patch, but once the game ran, it was smoother than WoW and WAR when they first hit. (Yeah I know you WoW lovers will hate me, but thats just my opinion)

I only managed level 10 (with a rush job of a villain) so I can't say much bout PvP and other stuff, but PvE was enough to keep me busy and glued. It doesn't seem like a grind like them other MMOs.

And so, for those who are still sceptical, my overall verdict to which is probably worth lesser than 2 cents is , so far its 'AWESOME' .

Any villains in Darkness Falls pls contact me or any other server, wouldn't mind making another villain.

Would love to post my villains pic, but he's just Big, Black and not very friendly.

Cheers.

DCUO PC Version.

Glad your enjoying yourself~ This is something SOE can actually be proud of for once. Given their bad record.

This game is the new foundation for the next gen of MMO's, including Vindictus if you can actually play it. The developer really though of things properly, the only backdraw i see now is ofcourse content. Many reviews have already been given about this. Some are pretty stupid, there was a review complaining about it not being like a traditional MMO from Gaintbomb i think. Which made me criticize their way of listing things. It was more of a personal attack then a review.

I can see this game growing to become a behemoth on its own without even touching WOW or the other contenders. As long as they keep to their promise of making content for this game every month, COX and CO can bite the dust.

On the up note, when you reach lvl 30, PVP will be somewhat of the only thing you do. Until they figure out how to compensate for the lvl cap. And balance certain powers, some are kinda redundant. But yeah, this is one of the best mmo launches in game history with so little server problems and client. They made the smart move to not host too many servers a start, WAR made that mistake at first and now is paying for it.

Besides Vindictus, I'm also waiting to see Guild Wars 2, and I hope this will be a good year for MMOs.

And yup, I've read the many 'I hate DCUO because its not free to play' reviews. I have to agree some are more of a personal hate rather than a review, but I guess everybody has a right to their own opinion. At the end of the day its the part of the developer & gamers who'll make the game survive or die.

Also, it looks like DCUO will follow the typical footsteps of any MMO, (hopefully) by raising the level cap every once in a while, add instances, enhance PvP, expansions and etc, to keep ppl occupied.

The Lvl 30 cap now isn't that bad, it gives the chances to mess around with different builds and see what works at max level while not wasting months grinding.

Well, I'd have to say I'm biased towards DCUO nowadays

Sadly it doesn't seem we have many players here.

Which server are you all playing on? I'm on Virtue and Pride (iirc). Pretty fun so far, very nice game. Would've been perfect if it had WoW's world design where you just travel zone to zone without having to use teleports aka hate loading screens

Got a villain on Darkness Falls. Will branch out to other servers soon after I figure out a good build. Am planning a villain healer soon. Not planning a hero anytime soon, just like the feeling of pushing suicidal citizens of high rise buildings

We don't have many players because either they are still grinding on Cata or they don't even know this exist. I was pretty skeptical at first too when i saw the gameplay from the first release footage from SOE. But after hearing and seeing the final product, i am convinced that this game is not another dead end. AOC, TR, AION, WAR are fine examples of an MMO gone wrong on the first day. However DCU does not suffer from any of the problems these previous games had. It had strong start, minimal complaints, and kick ass graphics and animation. COX and CO is nothing compare to this.
There is actually a sense of dimension in combat, which beats the "stand where you are and lets see who beats the crap out of the other first while mashing hotkeys" concept. The game will not take off fast since many are too accustom to fantasy MMO's.

http://www.tentonhammer.com/dcuo/review

Do not read any other review except this, its as close as you will get from a proper review. These guys are well not for being dicks sometimes and strict about their views.

This post has been edited by meetxj9: Jan 25 2011, 03:41 PM

Hmm, seems I am going to drop my TOR purchase and buy this instead

TOR is kinda a big gamble. No real news besides videos of PVP and classes from them. There have been rumors flying around that the studio is a little worried about the game. Stating that the only pitch and enjoyment of the game is the Brand itself.

I saw a couple a week ago and they were pretty...........static. Imagine WOW but with really bland characters and limited skill options. I might be wrong, the only way to judge TOR would be from the full client. My expectations of TOR at the moment is kinda non-existent after playing DCU. Nor would i consider going back to WOW anytime soon, i have enough of farming and grinding using solely hotkeys with no skill required.

If the DCU developers are smart, they will take advantage of the sudden unexpected success of the game to keep pushing in content and patches.

Hurray for SOE for making a game that is actually playable. Now make sure it stays that way!!

Read the review, well, its thumbs up from those guys, with the high cost entry level being really the things which might hold DCUO back.

And for us here, paying anything above MYR100.00 for a game is a heavy investment, what more if there aren't many reviews from our own countrymen. But if SOE wanted to induce more trials, I'm sure a 10 day free trial ala WoW would be enough to entice more gamers into playing.

As for TOR, its tapping into another ninche market similar to DCUO, basically jedi wanna ppl instead of hero/villain wanna be ppl. In my opinion, MMOs these days are catering more towards specific gamers rather than the mass.

Hence DCUO and TOR will not be enjoyed by everyone.

it seems a lot of ppl are talking bad things about the chat interface. What about you guys, whats your opinion?

I don't know if it can be modded, but the default UI is quite tedious to go through, even worse for beginners if you're easily put off. And this is not just the chat interface; the chat window is small and chats can go by quite fast, I've not found a way to scroll through the chat window nor if it can be resized or filtered. But this is just me and I don't use the chat window much for now.

Another example of the UI is the quest log/journal. Opening the log gives you the quest title, then you have to double-click the title to open another menu to view the quest details. A separate quest overview menu next to the titles would've helped the journal be more user-friendlier imo.

is it conducive for grouping? I think voice chat is still the way to go, after all when i raid or pvp in a premade i never type.

Seeing that the game is fast-paced as it is, definitely voice chat is the better option. Plus, DCUO has it's own built-in voice chat system. But the text chat system itself won't be conducive imo due to its' design..in any case, who reads walls of texts when sh*t around you is happening in raid or you have players to kill (or vice versa). If you use voice chat often, then you can ignore the text chat for now.

This post has been edited by Odinn: Jan 26 2011, 05:01 PM

I've only used the chat window once, and yes its too small to notice/read when while bashing or getting bashed. The chat window although overall still small would have worked in other MMOs where its click, spam your hotkeys and wait for the fodder to die.

But because DCUOs action is too fast paced, the chat window becomes altogether useless, not to mention if you were in PvP or raids.

I've yet to try the voice chat, but I hear there are some issues with it. But it should be by far the best due to the attention to detail given on the importance of voice chat by SOE.

Can't say much bout the UI as its console friendly and I don't think much can be done to improve the interface (which I hope I'm wrong).

But seriously, it boils down to where you've come from. If you've played all the MMOs, WoW, COX, WAR, MS and etc. you're bound to get a little frustrated with the 'different' interface DCUO has.

But if this is going to be someone's first, they'll probably have little complaints if any at all.

All them reviews are mostly writen by hardcore gamers who live and breath the stuff.

If only the game got some free trial without having to buy the game....
i got burn so many times with false promising end up the game is shitty...like FF14 online....

FF14 is an abomination from hell~ Its one of the only games last year that gets bashed left and right on the very first day. And all their complaints were true about it, lesson learnt, never expect anything from an ASAIN MMO. They showed videos and other samples of the game via youtube, all pretty much character combat and classes, but they never did explain in detail what was in the game aside from the flashy intro and branding. Hence why i waited for 2 weeks before even considering buying it.

It is proven already that the UI in DCU is pretty retarded, and makes PC gamers feel uncomfortable while playing it. Something i believe SOE can fix pretty easily in the future. As usual, it all about wheter SOE plays their cards right.

Can someone lead me on how do i try this game? any free trial?

and anyone who currently playing it? can share your review?

Personally, im waiting for SWTOR, but i dont see any hype in LYN about it. Maybe im the only Starwars fans here. z

http://www.tentonhammer.com/dcuo/review

Read the above review posted by meetxj9. Its bassically what DCUO is, pros and cons.

There are only a handful of us playing here (PC version), but still doesn't seem like any of us are playing together or on the same servers, yet.
I believe like me, everyone's still discovering the game and making full use of the free 30 days.

There isn't any free trials like the 10days WoW and other MMOs offer. However the game is free for a month, but you'll need a credit card to verify future game time purchase ability before you can access the game.

Reviews - Well, so far so good. Level capped at 30, but thats when the fun begins with additional end game content. The game offers replayability by making different build, choosing different mentors and so on. Combat is fast and relies on button mashing combos, not your normal click, watch and see who dies first.

Gameplay and combat is somehwat similar to the PS2 Marvel Ultimate Alliance game, only better coz you can fly and do whatever whenever you fell like it.

Hope that helped.

It would seem SOE was kinda smart, they had been hiding tons of stuff behind the game from us. And not the bad kind. Today they released a video showing us what happens at the end game when you reach LVL cap. Apparently, there is much more then just PVP.

http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/01/26/dc-un...objectid=754948

This came to a surprise since none of this content was ever announced at all. Making it a big surprise for end gamers. The raids are superb, and amount of contents seems to be coming as the weeks go by. DO remember that SOE made a promise to players stating that every month will be an update and content month. And anything is possible given the large DC lore.

Kudos to them for actually making things right for once in their life.

Hmmm sounds promising.

I jumped back to Champs Online when it went f2p. Other than a few bugs regarding old subscribers jumping into f2p, things seem smooth.

Anyway, the vid shows promise. Anyone with a buddy key to spare?

If anyone is interested, i have a few DC universe keys up for sale. I did big sale for a group of guys and now i have a few for myself. If you interested in starting the game, you can buy the game key from me for RM150. Its for th US version and its only key, no box or such.

Edit: 2 keys already gone to my friends. Now only left 5 more keys. Once gone im not going to order anymore.

new guy here.

Which server to join? I've just bought through sony station. use a malaysia address and they accept it. =D need to download the 12 GB 1st. maybe tomorrow start playing lor

Welcome bro!!!

I think we need to clarify which server has the most Malaysians in it. Don't worry, your download will finish quite fast, their server is surprisingly stable and downloads fast if you have a big connection.

Well, depends on you. All servers are rather smooth. Just FYI, I've got 2 villains in Server Darkness Falls. Although seems like its a bit Hero heacy, they seem to win most of the PvPs.

OMG they are everywhere!!! Heroes kept coming to our side and causing massive PVP!!! Everyone was doing PVP like mad!!! And you know whats strange? No lag at al!!!

how is this game?
pc version better or ps3 better?
where can buy this pc game with game disc?

looks like a cracking mmo with some frenzy pvp

Get PC version, its better.

Frenzy is only half of the horror. When we get ot high lvl we will make sure to gank them back at their base.

Is the game grindy ??? i hate most of the MMO out there that requires to have heavy grinding to level up....i prefer that the game will offer some meaningful and fun quest to do and then the reward will let you level up easily rather than those always ask you to go kill X amount of monster or go collect X amount of this items, i'm sick of this type of quest as well...

If you hate doing those types of quest then you should not even be playing MMO's. Name one MMO that did things differently when it comes to quest. Cause every game in existence, not including MMO's, are like that. Even RPG's, Action games, all require you to do something similar. The only difference here is that DCU is fun enough to make you forget about it.

This post has been edited by meetxj9: Jan 30 2011, 01:23 AM

Honestly there isn't really a 'GRIND' but there is a 'grind'.
What I mean is, you need to do it to level but, the mission don't ask you to get 50 or so stuff.
So far at the most I've been ask to collect is about 20.

As yes, its fun enough to make you forget you're doing it.

And if you do get bored, do what I did to Supergirl

where 2 buy the pc version a..... i bosan wana play2 too

less than 1 week play to max level. if that's grind I dont know what you should play then.

Yup, even 5 days can reach max lvl. If you consider that grind, then you should not even be playing MMO's....

Do you know why most people are playing it besides it being a good game? They want to lock their superhero names in before anyone else gets it.

Just a quick question, let's say I buy a retail CD for the PC, there's a key included in it for one account right? Can I buy a seperate key online and use the same CD to install? a bit confused on this whole $49.99

yes you can, the key itself is just to activate the game on your account.

while the cd is just to install the game client
