    I'm trying all the different builds out there, but I'll probably stick to the name Chernobyl no matter how many times I reroll. Super name is Super!

    Sorry, got stuck doing WoW crap. It was literally like pulling teeth compared to using the Grappling Hook.

    Character name is Archimedes and I'm currently level 12. See everyone in game.

    Aaaaand douple post. A thousand apologies, etc. Servers are currently down (in before massive rage and threats to quit, despite every launch in the history of man having the exact same problem) so I thought it'd be a good time to ask where everyone's at in game so far.

    I hit level 26 last night before passing out. Was mainly doing all the Alerts simply to get them out of my damn quest log (shit was getting long) and I'm hoping to hit level cap when I get back on.

    Ended up respecing a little while ago. Still Illusions, but I realised that I had a lot of redundant spells (lolnoob) like having the Grappling hook stun and Terror, which both served the same purpose. Grabbed a lot of passive stuff, and it's worked out nicely so far.

    Also, Super Strength is awesome for questing. If there's ever more than two mobs in a group, I just grab a car and chuck it at them. Kills all but the Specialist type (with the random ability you have to dodge) and you can just finish him off with a single spell.

    Yeah, I had to respec because of that. Did it a few times because I was fucking with different weapon times. Handblasters, I have to say, are the only thing I can use after starting off with them.

    I took all of those bottom two rows of Iconics except the two on the far left. >_> With those, plus the Neo-Venom Boost/Hard Light, plus a bunch of illusion powers, I'm doing fairly awesome.

    I stopped earlier, after doing the Faust/Black Adam quest line. I've gotta do the last part of the Brother Blood/Teen Titans Hell quest, but I'll be damned if I can beat them when I was two levels beneath them. >_>

    So I went and did BlackFaust to get some levels and some cash.

    And yeah, I've only did the Legends Arkham 4v4 and Area 51 alert, so my journal is full of useless shit. :\

    Also; For anyone who hasn't been to DCUO's website, for the next three weeks, you can get a free item a week. This week is Catwoman's Claw. Next week is Penquin's umbrella, and Harley's mallet. You just have to change your profile pic to one of their photos once a week.

    I actually just finished the Teen Titans quest line. All I can say is that, when all of them are trapped, beat Starfire and Cyborg first. Their abilities are incredibly annoying to fight against together.

    I've actually found that I'm not using a great deal of my Illusion powers, mainly just sticking with Terrify and the Electrical attack that stuns and reduces maximum health. My bar is covered in Movement/Iconic Powers. Hell, I haven't used the Transformation Illusions since I got them. lol

    And yeah, Hand Blasters are pretty much the only Weapon I can use too. It's just the perfect mix of ranged and melee capability. Speaking of which, I really need to check my Feats. I don't know exactly how many I have, but I've got 12 Power Points and 19 Skill Points, so it's probably quite a few. I mainly get them by not dieing or using Consumables in Dungeons, plus making sure to finish every quest in a chain.


    Has anyone been doing their Movement Races? Managed to get Platinum on two of my Master Acrobat races. Took about ten tries each (I suck, lol).

    Yeaaaaa. I did Starfire and Nightwing. I cant fucking stand Nightwing and his damn spinning and throwing shit. :\

    I can trash Cyborg fairly easily. Donna Troy is just a fucking Joke. Ditto Beast Boy.

    I haven't done any of the races except the first two in Gotham and the one outside the Chinatown Metropolis ones. Stupid easy. i dicked around and got stuck on a building and still got platinum. >_>

    Also, mild spoiler, I suppose. ... Heh. Spoiler. Not intentional at all, DC fans. D: She's such a cunt.

    WTF is up with Zatanna summoning Etrigan, in Felix Faust's first quest line against you, and then Etrigan turn up fucking working for him in the fucking next one?

    I mean, don't the heroes always escape once defeated in the comics? So why is Etrigan a fucking villain?!

    Angryface.

    Come on guys. Can't you get your own universe straight? You even have him listed ... AS A HERO!

    Also, regarding free items from Facebook. Jon's asked about it and I realized I may not have given enough info.

    Use the Change Profile Pic link in the main DCUO page under the quiz links, not the one on the left.

    Don't even get me started on Races. Super speed races are a massive pain in the ass. You stick to pretty much everything and the direction you end up facing when going over corners and such is incredibly difficult to control.

    But yeah, I basically respecced at the end to get more tank-y powers and such, so plan on doing that again at some point in the future.

    Just started a character on the server, villain following Joker (who else), with bow and gadgets. I literally spent two hours fucking around till I was happy with my character. :eek:

    My character is named Darje (real creative, huh?).

    Is anybody else looking at their quest log and thinking "where the hell do I start?" There's so much shit in there. @_@

    Lol, you have no idea. When you hit 30 you're FLOODED with quests. It actually made me start a new character because I didn't want to figure out where to start right then.

    In other news, I've now got Platinum on every race in the game. Now I just need to unspec, beat two races without any movement talents and I'll be done that portion of the Feats. Only about a billion more to go. lol

    So, who wants to get together over this weekend and start going through the Level 30 quests? D:

    I solo'd a lot of the shit up to now, though Calz and I beat Dr Fate and Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Though the Hawks was kind of waaaay Jewish and awesome. XD Other people were fighting them when we were on our way. Calz punches hawkman once and we get credit for the kill. It was :awesome

    Havoc, Paimon, Jon, and I started taking on Kilowog, though Jon got disconnected half way through. Needless to say, we stomped him something fierce.

    But then I started trying to do some of the 30 quests solo. Jesus Christ did I get raped hard. Sooo I figured others were in the same boat. A big group would be awesome. Eight DLPfags just raping the hell out of everyone. Three to four would work too.

    I'm definitely in. I've been able to solo the >level 15 Bounties, but anything above that is brutal. Like Calz did, I've been piggy backing off of other groups to get credit for the higher stuff, on account of me being anti-social as fuck with the general populace in MMOs. I just don't try to make or join groups with randoms.

    My only problem is that I started a Fire/Pistols/Acro/Joker character (Level 26 currently) and now I can't decide which character I want to be my main. I'll probably do some reading up on Mental to see if I'm gonna stick with it, though I will miss the awesome character name.

    Were you guys thinking of doing anything in particular, or just working our way through the quest log?

    LOL Yeah, I do the same. I've group with Pai and them, but can't be fucked looking for groups outside of DLP. They just don't understand my awesome.

    I rolled Mental/Handblaster/Flying. Pretty much the best combo in the game.

    Mental is OP by itself, in my opinion. Fire and Ice might be a close second because of the Ice Giant Armor and high DPS of fire. Don't really like the Gadgets. Too control centered, and on PVP, its pretty useless against Tanks, since they're nearly immune.

    As far as my character... Checking out Telekinesis at the moment. I prefer Illusions to Telekinesis. Tel has epic damage, but the Reflect Pain ability, which makes Ill an epic set.

    Odd that I prefer Illusions over Telek, and dislike Gadget's control-centric role.

    Either way, Power Lists and a nice breakdown of the powers:


    None of those fags are around, but I figured just starting at the top and working down would be cool. I don't particularly care.

    Sounds good to me.

    I think that, for now, I'm just gonna finish getting my Fire guy to 30 and decide on my main after that. I dunno, I like mental and all, but I've always played the endurance type roles when it comes to pvp, rather than the control stun-locking dick douchebag role.

    Though if I do switch to Fire main, I am NOT looking forward to redoing the Get Platinum on an Expert Race without the Grappling Hook Feat. That shit took me ages.

    Sounds good.

    I just switched from Illu. to Tele. and, while it does do significantly more damage, I was still doing less than my Fire toon, despite having more passive +Might talents and being a higher level.

    Fire is just OP as hell. lol

    edit:

    Also, waking up at 11:30 pm on your vacation = boss. :cool:

    I'm curious, is there any interest in forming a Project DLP guild/whatevertheycallthem?
