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 .

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

GailExoduSx - Country stated in my station account is malaysian, address too and my next subscription (when it start) will be via credit card. There shouldn't be any problems using our addresses here (I hope).

ivzh - Go to your Station Account and details should be under Subscription Info (if you've signed for the game). Then there will be your subscription on your left with a button under it which says cancel.

StylezWork - Streamyx ? Mine got stuck at 11GB and wasn't moving. So I restarted the patcher. The game's been having some patches added, maybe thats whats bugging your download.
And yes, start a list of players with IGN, Server, Class (Fire, Ice, etc.), Specialized Role (Tank, DPS, Healer, etc.) and Level.

Yup US server.

Lets get the list going.
IGN: Freyalise
Weapon: Hand Blaster
Power: Nature
Side: Villain
Mentor: Joker
Server: US
World: Darkness Falls (PvE)
Role: Healer
Movement Power: Flight
Level 30
I'm available for anything, Raids, Bounties, Duos, etc etc.

Any chance of starting a char on Zero Hour (PvE) server?

[/quote]

Ok. I don't mind. You're using controller right ? I'll probably make an Ice Tank or Sorcery Healer.

GailExoduSx - OK , I've made a Sorcery / Healer.

mz2020 & N30rang3r - You can get to Level 30 in about 20 hours non-stop. I got to 30 doing 3 Alerts (instances), bout 6 Bounties (mini bosses) with a group and questing all the way. I even have some left over Level 28 quest which I have yet to finish. Questing helps you level, grinding in this game gets you practically no where, coz the exp you get per kill is nonsense. Plus the quest helps with you and your mentors storyline. And as for bugs, PC version, I've yet to encounter anything, or maybe I'm just too busy with the action. I'd also recommend using a gamepad, a PS3, PS2 or xbox one will do just fine.

[quote=GailExoduSx,Feb 14 2011, 04:45 PM]
Villain or Hero?

Villain.

Just to add, armor and weapons can be bought from NPCs from different factions, but you need to gain 'renown' points with them for them to sell you the stuff. So again, if you enjoy grinding, this ain't the game for ya.

Er, 10 I think. I should be on this weekend. Maybe we can do some alerts.

Hey sorry Gail, last week after the server reset, it rained cats & dogs, didnt wanna risk my modem getting fried.

I won't be around this weekend, but you can join this league called IHeartChaos, I joined and they have like 200 members, and the level 30s are always willing to help.

Just ask anyone from the league if they can invite you. They're basically everywhere.

What are you using ? I got pass using a Nature Villain, with Hand Blasters, although it took quite a while.

Choose the titans you can beat the crap out of first, once they join you, then release the others one at a time.

there was a list of IGNs and servers, but only 3 people continued it. so we really don't have a count.
