Yeah, you can quit mid-download and it will start from there on next time you retry, so its safe to stop it for a whiile.
(Actually I just stopped it myself, that's why i'm here! )

Anywho, thanks for the heads up RAWK, I got myself a code and am in the process of downloading as well!
Wonder if we can get CC to make an extra sub-forum space just for this on the Vault?


Anywho, care to make a list of the people who are downloading this RAWK?
To know who to invite if you wannna play with other LBPCers.

Man... I'm kinda kicking myself for not choosing flight, because i'm very curious of what's going on on these floating alien ships, but I can't reach them...

Maybe I'll try a running jump off of a building....

Man, I've always liked super speed, but there's so much freedom with flight...Choices, choices! I'll try to decide when I start playing tomorrow.

And also, like Ched asked, can you change around your character's abilities later, or are your choices permanent?

You can make more than one character. Just make a starter guy with stuff that you think might be cool, then optimize from there.

Okay, so what do you do? Do you battle other players, only players on the opposing team (villain/hero), or do you battle monsters, or what? Is there a lot of free-roam as well?2010-12-12 08:23:00

I made my slightly optimized character, learning from the mistakes of my first one.

I'm now a rifle-wielding, sticky bomb throwing, fast walking, black and white hero, by the name of "Reloaded"...

A side not for those wondering about flight. Flight is very overused... because it's pretty much game-breaking, you can just hover in the air and pick off enemies that can't reach you with their melee attacks. You can fly anywhere in the world and you go pretty fast too, almost as fast as super-speed... I use super-speed, and while it may not be the most efficient, it sure is a heck of a lot of fun blazing up walls and jumping from one building to the next.

@ outlaw - sage has a rifle...so maybe more guns?

@ zim - if it's like any MMORPG and this one being DC I can guess it'll be free-roaming like always...having a main quests with tons of sidequests involving fighting badguys and criminals and maybe ALIENS since this is DC and not MARVEL...but yeah

@ sage - ugh i hate you lol....now i can't decide again on using super speed or flight...guess i'll have to make 2 characters of SAME attributes and just one fly and one run and see which one i like better....hopefully later one we can get the other ability or something...PLEASE let that be so lol sheesh i wanna fly AND run

Yes, there are guns, dual pistols and rifles, to be exact. The weapons choices are pleasantly broad.

As for who you fight, when you make a character on a PvP server, you not only fight the PvE NPC characters, you also get to skirmish with whatever hero or villain (depending who's side you're on) happens to zoom past you. And yes, there is A LOT of free roam. You guys are going to wet yourselves when you see Downtown Metropolis. Gotham is nice and big as well but it's more slums and darkgrimdark.

As for Flight vs. Running, flight's a bit broken right now. There are pesky and annoying attacks that pull you back only if you're a flyer. Nonetheless, it is cool. If you have a concept character who is absolutely a flyer like my villain, don't be afraid to do it. If you want to go with whatever seems cooler, just go with Acro or Superspeed. Acrobatics is generally considered to be the overpowered travel power as at level 9 you have the option of taking Rocket-Assisted-Glide, which speed-wise practically makes flight useless (except, you know, for the ability to go up and down and generally have freeform flight). And of course, flight lets you go up way high and admire the scenery. And escapes are a bit easier. And it's not that slow either. Not to mention it looks just as cool as the others.

The two guns are rifles and dual pistols (which imho, suck)
Also, if you're REALLY into customization, remember to look for the Colour option. I looked like a noob in the default blue

@Outlaw The only gun types you can choose from are Rifle and Dual Pistols. Personally I haven't tried pistols but Clay says the suck. In my opinion Rifles right now are my favorite, it's very easy to focus fire down a single enemy and if any get too close, you can just bash them close quarters with your gun. There are some really cool unlockables for rifles too, just now I unlocked the under-barrel grenade launcher. :3 Yeah it's amazing...

@Zim There are PvP arenas as almost every other MMO has, where you can fight other players, I have not tried this myself yet but I will check it out sooner than later. There is a main story line you can follow, and many side quests you can find by wandering through the immense cities of Gotham, and Metropolis. There are also little hero mini-quests, for example; you see a cop chasing after a robber, you can go beat up the robber and restrain him for the police officer, and get some bonus EXP for being a good hero. I haven't tried being a villain yet but I would imagine that you probably do pretty much the exact opposite.

Dual pistols starts off slow, yes. It take a while to get to the meaty stuff; then, in my opinion, it's good. It could use tweaking though.2010-12-12 09:21:00

dualies are always gonna be top notch...watch when you level up it'll get better...good for outlaw since he loves the dualies

as for those 2 weapons what other weapons do they have?

swords? (katanas? claymores? etc.)
lazers?
mallets?

anything??

Off the top of my head:
- Two "Melee" styles, a Superman-ish Brawling style and a more Batman-esque Martial Arts style.
- One-handed (Swords, knives, etc.)
- Two-handed (HUGE Hammers)
- Dual Wield (Dual Swords and the like)
- Hand Blast (Energy from your palms)
- Rifle
- Dual Pistol

... Not sure if there's more. Probably.

Shadow, Heres a list of all of the weapons:

Brawling (Hand to Hand)
Dual wield (Dual wielding weapons)
One-Handed (One-handed weapon)
Two-Handed (Two-handed weapon)
Hand Blaster (Shoot lasers)
Staff (Fight with a rod)
Dual Wield Pistols
Rifle
Bows
Martial Arts

It's not a bad list and there are some pretty interesting choices, at some point in the game I believe you can unlock more than one... but don't quote me on it.

you know now that i think about it....isn't this under NDA?

if so I think we should make a private social group for those of us who are in the BETA so we don't violate any rules (who knows if they have anymore awesome BETAS that they might trust us with if they are PRIVATE)

so yeah just sayin...if this is under NDA and someone makes a private social group for us send me an invite k?


ALSO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION - i think you choose it from the beginning...sounds like something you'd have to decide rather quickly...which sucks if true since I'd like to be neurtral or anti-hero but yeah

I've never heard of this before, but judging by the 4 pages I'm gonna assume it's pretty good?

There aren't any more beta codes left by the way, but if PS+ get it free I can get that. If not, I guess I can live seeing as I only found out this existed a few seconds ago.

Shadow, NDA was lifted some time ago which is why I've been spilling so many beans. Worry not about open discussion; it's about as bad as if we were discussing sackbots or contrlinators is fine detail

I honestly suggest everyone goes on the PvP server. You have a blast on it... And I think there was the option of flagging yourself as PvE so no one can attac you. Either way, it's a better game than PvE.

And yeah, I think my installation sequence has been stuck there for quite a bit. I'll go reset it.

PvP Server - Yoroi. (Villan)

Maybe I should remake my main @ PvP server too?

I didn't see any Heroes in PvP mode, do i have to be a certain level to PvP?

ffffyesss! I made a super cool stealth dude for PvP, 'cause I'm cool like dat. I'm still in the first space ship place though, but my PS3 froze (what a shocker) so I started it up again, and my sis is making a PvE character atm. What happens after the spaceship place? Do you get to do stuff in the city and see other online players, or what?

And if PvP = Player vs. Player, then what does PvE stand for?

After you escape the spaceship youre sent to your HOME base (dependant on whos your mentor im guessing) then youre let loose in the city to handle your stuff...im at chinatown

And yeah i chose PVP cuz if my theory is correct heroes cant fight heroes....maybe they can request a duel but being a hero i doubt youll be able to hit anyone at the get-go...so youd only be able to fight other players who are villains and on PVE youl only be able to fight quest people and baddies so yeah PVP sounds better


Hope acrobatocs gets better soon...i know its anmox of the two but now i feel i shoulda stuck to flight....ugh lol

After you escape the spaceship youre sent to your HOME base (dependant on whos your mentor im guessing) then youre let loose in the city to handle your stuff...im at chinatown

And yeah i chose PVP cuz if my theory is correct heroes cant fight heroes....maybe they can request a duel but being a hero i doubt youll be able to hit anyone at the get-go...so youd only be able to fight other players who are villains and on PVE youl only be able to fight quest people and baddies so yeah PVP sounds better


Hope acrobatocs gets better soon...i know its anmox of the two but now i feel i shoulda stuck to flight....ugh lol

Yeah, I got Acrobatics as well, now I'm thinkin' I shoulda gotten super speed...

Already encountered some glitches:
- Sound cut out in Metropolis (regained briefly after entering room in club)
- Character wouldn't attack after a while; I'd keep pressing the buttons and he wouldn't do anything

That's about it for bugs... so far.

PVE- Gentleman George (Gotham)
PVP- Krackow (Metropolis)

Oh, and the super-speed power... really fun. Especially when running on traffic lights. xD

@Spazz: There's several kinds of powers:
- Fire
- Gadgets
- Ice
- Mental
- Magic
- Nature

Those are the ones I can name off the top of my head.

Hey, how do I go to another city? I'm in Gotham right now. Do I need to do a certain number of missions/sidequests or something?
And how do I meet my friends? I'm assuming there isn't a feature like LBP's "Join" and "Invite".

And if PvP = Player vs. Player, then what does PvE stand for?

Player vs Enemy, which in this case are the NPCs.

Correction, it means Player vs Environment.
As in NPCs, and other hazards in the game that do not involve other players.

(Besides, isn't PvP already Player vs Enemies/ other players? XD)

Heh, after finally finishing up clearing out some space, I entered the code in to find that the beta was only 117 MB?
I assumed it would occur once you installed it, but it was another surprisingly low 113MB.
Elated having seen the beta be downloaded so quick, I opened it up right away, fingers itching.
Man was I dissapointed to find the infamous download waiting for me at the main screen.

Same thing happened to me with the MAG beta.
Oh well.

So, for the list, it just keeps track of LBPC members around DCUO, so mind adding mine up there once I get this dang thing loaded? Thanks.

PVE: Last Laugh (hero)
PVP: Final Laugh (villain)

Some people are determined on PVP. I was climbing a tall building when a hero came after me. I jumped off and glided for like half a minute, then went to hide. He got his friends, tracked me down, then brutally murdered me. /raegquit

And oddly enough, I never found you guys... even after locating the hospital, the bridge, Bohemia AND the middle of freakin' Metropolis. -_-

There's literally no way you can find anyone in that game...

loool
I was near that huge, round cylinder-type thing on the other side of the bridge, stalking Sage. He was on top, and I was at the bottom just out of his view, so he couldn't see me on his map. When he'd turn the other way or move towards the other side of the platform, I'd move forward a bit so I could see where he was walking and sneak up on him. Clever little Sage, he was running 'round in circles so he'd be able to see anyone coming on his map from all directions. And then he eventually saw me, jumped down, chased me for a minute or two, and killed me...

But yeah, there should be a Join or Invite sorta thing goin' on.

I'm not entireuly sure. There's a mask icon next to the inventory, which supposedly lets you change your clothes. But for armour like THAT... gonna have to keep leveling up yourself.

I never thought I'd kill nearly 7-10 different heroes on my first day... plus a grenade launcher. xD

You'll have to keep doing missions. I've easily killed over 500 different drones and enemies, and I've only gotten to level 7. Leveling-up is pretty hard in DCUO :.

not hard per-say....just a MASSIVE GRINDFEST which I can already tell you I'm not wasting my time on a monthly fee for this game....but it is a fun game so maybe if I play it enough I might change my mind (still wont buy it right away...wanna see what other MMORPGS the ps3 gets)

but yeah I beat like 1 bad guy and the TEEN TITANS so technically I beat 6 people in total lol but yeah

oh and OUTLAW is right there's a mask icon next to your equipment that lets you switch your clothes with equipment you have on or have equpped (idk about equipped but no way im wearin 3 gauntlets at the same time lol) so yeah it's possible....but BEWARE if you switch your PRIMARY WEAPON/SECONDARY into something else depending on the weapon it'll block out your hands clothing change...learned the hard way lol

Let me repeat what the previous quote said, only I'll bold it and place it in caps so you'll actually read it this time.
THE BETA IS U.S. ONLY.
No, not the codes, THE BETA.

Its probably all of NA, since U.S. only stuff usually means Mexico, Canada, and U.S.

Also, there is no "upcoming batch of invites."
The PS+ members already have the BETA.

Well I finally spent some time with the game, some thoughts:

Pros

- Character customization
- Living, breathing world
- Questing with other players
- Seeing everyone's cool character designs

Cons

- PS2 quality graphics (I am being generous)
- Jerky controls
- Horrible animation
- Framerate issues
- Button-mashing combat (could be because I created a duel sword wielding character?)

Ultimately I am not too impressed but hey, the BETA is free

Eh, the writing is sooo small on the TV in my bedroom, it's like impossible to play because I have no idea what the controls are.

I'll probably move the PS3 downstairs and play it there tomorrow.

From what I've seen though, looks like a pretty awesome game, flying around is fun.

Has anyone checked out the cinematic trailer for DCUO?
I think you'll agree with me on how mind blowing it is.

Just another quick question though about the character creation as I want to get my facts straight before I begin.
PvP equals one character.
PvE equals another one.
And in no way can you alter these character's abilities after they've been choosen?
Or even create a limited amount of new profiles to add onto either the PvP or PvE servers?

Thanks in advance.

I know you can have more than one character per server, as I have a hero and villain on the PvP server. Not sure the limit though.

As far as altering abilities, I am not sure. I oomed past something at Watchtower, but I didn't go back to see what it did exactly, but I thought it said something about changing stats or sometyhing about your character.

you can have up to 2 characters I believe (haven't tried more) on the WHATEVER SERVER you choose

as for attributes...they have something that'll RESET your TRAITS in the game...as for what the traits are I guess it means the points you get during levels

but once you pick your mentor and power (i.e. fire, ice, sorcery, gadgets) i think those are permanent

but yeah PVP is the best choice IMO since with PVE you're only fightng NPCs so if you ever get bored you can't go finding other players to fight...but i will admit this kind of PVP sucks since as soon as someone sees you they want to kill you (only 1 time i was fighting enemies next to a villain and he was nice enough to leave me be) but yeah it's at least nice to have the option to fight them if i ever get bored

and this game is getting REALLY FUN...I might actually make this my MMORPG when it releases...but not right away....i want to see what other MMORPGs the PS3 will be getting

I found out you can have more than two characters, on any server you choose - I made another one 'cause I wanted to try out flight and super speed, but frankly, I didn't like either of them much...I'm gonna stick with acrobatics. But really, this dual-wielding sucks.
I'm not sure exactly how many characters you can create, though.

PvP is pretty inactive...I only very rarely find villains that are actual players that I can fight. And when I do, they're like level 10 or something and kill me off in a split second, then run and jump around in triumph while I wait to respawn. I even caught one T-bagging another player they had just beaten. >_>
I get super competitive with things like these and can't stand losing, so I often get really frustrated since I can't beat anyone...But I bet I can kick Sage's butt now, 'cause I'm a lot better than I was before. Then again, he probably is, too...

I re-did my character for acrobatics...and im so glad i did...honeslty it was true what alexbull told me...later on when you level if you check your MOVEMENTS section of where to put points theres this one technique that WHILE YOU GLIDE YOU PRESS AND HOOOOLD L3 AND YOUR GUY FLIES UPWARDS AND KEEPS FLYING AND IT FEELS FASTER THEN NORMAL FLIGHT so yeah ended up deleting my old guy for this new guy (named after me "Domingo")

and yeah so far acrobatics is the best one

and yeah if you hate dual wielding just make a new character...i know the beginning sucks but trust me I made my character today and got him to level 13 just by doing quests...so yeah just do your beginning quests and keep doin that

and yeah if you hate dual wielding just make a new character...i know the beginning sucks but trust me I made my character today and got him to level 13 just by doing quests...so yeah just do your beginning quests and keep doin that

I'm finding it difficult to locate quests...Are they marked on your map or what? 'Cause I can barely find any.

Oh yeah, and how'd you get to Chinatown? I wanna go there!

sometimes they're marked blue/purple

but quests aren't difficult to find...just go to police stations and find NPCs to talk to...no matter how stupuid the quest is you get hundreds of XP so its good in the end

and while you do quests that send you off to places those places you go to also have NPCs around that offer quests to do at that moment if you find them and do em real quick you can net some nice XP

as for china town with other locations you can just select them in the MAP section of pause to make a waypoint like GTA and other games

Double post i know.

Did anyone else have severe problems downloading the beta?
according to most of you the average time is 5 hours but i've been downloading it since midnight. It's 10pm now.
In the past couple of hours the bar only moved about a cm and the timer on the right pretty much freaked out then died.
Is there a trick to make it work like the lbp2 beta or is this just me and im ****ed?

Also, the timer says 42 hours.

The game's not bad - but I've read online that it will have a subscription fee ($15pm) - but I've also read that it will be subscription free.

Which is it?

Is this a subscription based game or not?

might not be considering they have a MARKETPLACE which could be selling DLC/special items for rich kids to purchase with their parents credit card for an unfair advantage

but so far it's been fun...maybe actually worth the subscription fee...I certainly like it

Not seen anything in the game that would justify ?120 a year subscription fee though.

And if it's one of those "Pay ?5 and get a sword that's better than anything you can get for free in the game" to give you a PvP advantage then I'll give it a miss... that's not what RPG is about - you don't get to take cash shortcuts, that's just lame.

well right now it's not the "MAIN" MMORPG that i'll be spending a monthly fee on...but hopefully they give more MMORPGs to the PS3 so i can find one...but this one is pretty close to being a good MMORPG worth the subscription...but thats just me

something about taking missions from your favorite heroes to go out and beat your favorite villains has made this MMORPG pretty fun

but again thats all just me...only REAL issue I'm having is just the PVP that's ALWAYS a gankfest....as soon as a villain sees my hero some stupid triggered impulse tells them they should try and kill me...which is annoying to say the least

REALLY hope they change this and have some sort of "DANGER ZONES" that if a PVPer manages to kill you in this zone then it signals ACTUAL DC heroes to come find that PVPer and defeat them

But I still haven;t seen anything definitive that this will or will not be a subscription based game?

Anyone have anything concrete?

I was quite enjoying playing it at first - till I read that it'd be subscription based.. then I started to be alot more critical of it.

Yea. You can.
The games been out since september, thats long enough to decide if you hate it or not.
And if you hate it you dont pay for another month and you return the game.
Its nothing like a cell phone, its not a contract, its a monthly fee that if you don't pay, you don't play.
Contract you are forced to pay for a certain amount of time, monthly fee you can say **** it and stop paying.
So obviously your argument is bunk and people love it.

Well, I mean it did get pretty crappy reviews from reviewers and players: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/final-fantasy-xiv-online

Not that reviews really mean anything, but just saying that obviously some people do not love it and it has its share of problems.
Of course, FFXIV for the PC is doing much better than APB did, lol...so I wouldn't say it is the biggest fail, but I would much rather wait for the PS3 version considering the news about the PC version.

why not? all you have to do are the hero/villain-line quests and leveling is quite easy...plus this IS a beta after all...like LBP2 we won't keep what we have


@ zim - my fave is the energy palm...using the square button you fight melee-like and using triangle turns long range...and the abilities are awesome so imo that's the best weapon to have

Well, because I have done the first missions three times already since I have three different characters around level 8 lol. I guess I can work on a new one, because Snow Fury also has super speed and the game freezes way more when your character has super speed. Maybe I will make a futuristic Spider-Man type character...yess I know there is SPider-Man 2099, but I am thinking something of my own creation.

my advice...go for acrobatics

you are pretty fast....and you can glide...and after a certain level you can power up your glide and it makes you glide so high that you're pretty much flying and more power-ups make you go way fast

so yeah its the best...havent tried super speed yet but i dont plan to thanks to acrobatics and how useful/fun it is

Btw guys, yuo CAN change weapons after yer higher level, right now I can choose to use any weapon I want (as long as I buy it or find it of course.)
I'm good with double-pistols, but I could change if I wanted to, so instead of resetting char, you just need to level up some more.



my advice...go for acrobatics

you are pretty fast....and you can glide...and after a certain level you can power up your glide and it makes you glide so high that you're pretty much flying and more power-ups make you go way fast

so yeah its the best...havent tried super speed yet but i dont plan to thanks to acrobatics and how useful/fun it is

Super Speed is pretty fun and useful tbh, later on you can get an ability to double-jump, and make you go faster as you double jump (Kinda like Super fast gliding, but its even faster than Super speed running.), you can reach crazy distances with that.

Not to mention runng up buildings is a snap, and jumping from one to the other is pretty cool.
Not like you need to, as Super speed users are the fastest on the ground or in the air.
Also, you can ru on ciellings, which is great to avoid ground enemies, and recover health.

Not to mention if you're about to be overwhelmed, its pretty easy to get out of there and escape. ;p

So, yeah, Super Speed is pretty good as well, all 3 movement methods seem pretty balanced, but Super Speed is easly the fastest in ground and air, at higher levels.


What IS a good weapon choice anyways? I saw dual-wield and I was like AWESOME! but in reality, it sucks. Guns are stupid for a superhero, and now I've heard that the staff sucks too, so what are the good weapons, then?

How are guns stupid for superheroes?
(Also, I don't believe you of all people would say that. ;p)

Its like saying Swords or any other weapon is dumb for a Superhero, or that having any sort of projectile-power is dumb.

Remember, just because its a superhero, doesn't mean Weapons won't help.

I meant, like...Okay, so this one dude I saw had this army outfit (MW2 fanboy, I'm guessing) and he had a submachine gun or whatever, but like a kajillion other special abilities. Why would you need a gun if you've got goddang superpowers?! lol

Edit: I think I want to redo my Scarlet Spider already. The gadgets are good for Spidey cuz you can have the taser pull, stealth, and the sticky bomb thing...but I don't want to make turrets and have a boxing glove punch gun thing. Argh...maybe my powers should be mental? Or I guess blaster, like my first character.

@ silver - trust me...that's nice and all...but seriously the SUPER GLIDE makes you zoom SO FAST that if you use it when near a PVP guy who you KNOW will chase you they will NEVER CATCH YOU

and cool thing about it is that it automatically raises my flight if it sees me about to crash into a building or something...so all i have to do is find higher buildings and my "GLIDE" basically turns into infinite flight but much FASTER then regular flight so i end up being faster then everybody

and it also includes this "spiderman" type web slinging thing where if i glide and there's a wall nearby i automatically grapple to that wall and reel in so QUICKLY

so yeah im tellin you TRY ACROBATICS and compare it with super speed...you'll stay with acrobatics...this i guarantee

The text is also nearly inscrutable to my eyes, any option to enlarge it?

Thanks,

Yeah, lots of people have been complaining about the text size. Unfortunately there isn't an option to enlarge it or anything, but they said it's gonna be fixed in the new patch.

So is everyone on this thread talking about PvP or PvE meet ups?
I'm finding the PvE server rather entertaining with it's quests and might need a few other heroes to help me fight off the bosses.
Interested?

More people tend to gravitate towards the PvP server, since you can fight other players, rather than just NPCs. I'd like to try out PvE sometime, though.

Lol yeah my bad i started this whole PVP thing

PVE is pretty much the same although youll just see villains and ignore them since you cant fight them so if you get bored youll be forced to fighting npcs youve already fought which gets boring after a while

That's weird, I've never ever had to wait for the queue thingy. It flashes on the screen for like a millisecond then goes straight to the loading screen for the game.2010-12-18 04:32:00

PvP,
Hero,
RangedRiot

I've gotten the queue before, but the waiting list goes down pretty quick, i.e 84 in waiting, (10 seconds later) 20 in waiting.

this is why i hate the current PVP....just a gankfest...nothing fun about getting attacked a million times by the same people because they have nothing better to do...which is why I wish they would make some "ZONES" that if a villain kills you then it alerts the justice league and superman or some other random hero hunts down your assassins and instantly kills them to make sure they know not to kill heroes in spawn points and police departments

lol, you were there too?
I just saw a fightfest a lot of times when I went to the face, went to fight the bad guys a bit, then got back in base to finish my quests.


LOL NPCs or players?

I don't think NPCs can camp for an organized attack...


A villian league of players called <SONS>.

Yep, that's them, but it was a leage war, m8.
If you ignored them and left, no one chased after you, only if you ran through the battle.

That's why they have the Robots in the spawn points, they 1 - 2-shot kill anyone who gets within attack radius, villans can't camp and attack because of them.
Getting punished for PvPing in the PvP server?
No thanks, I would just preffer a level cap, so higher levels can't attack really low levels.

BEsides, what's the point of having heroes and villans if you'll get auto-killed every time you fight each other? :/


We need a PSN chat for this.

We do have one, only people rarely enter, even when I invite them. :/


I hate heroes >

Heroes attack villans, VIllas attack heroes, if you see a group of the opposite faction, run.
Alternitevly, simply for a group of people to sdo missions with, people tend to be relucrant to attack people that are in groups.


I meant like a general chat for LBPCers; besides, I don't even have half of the PSNs added here on this thread. o_O

Like I said, not missing much, since many don't seem to want to join, but add me, and I'll sned you an invite to it if you want.



Man, that was a lot of quote responding.

@ silver - i dont mind PVP...but like i said having ZONES where heroes can rest without fear of getting gang banged by villains would be nice...PVP is fine...just not when 2-3 people jump out of nowhere and attack you while you're trying to finish a quest innocently2010-12-18 07:26:00

If it makes you feel any better, I somehow managed to phase through Metropolis' streets and into oblivion... again. And when I tried to report it, the game froze up... AGAIN. And I was about to finish another quest... AGAIN :kz:. (Oi, so frustrating)

Fire + Rifle = match made in heaven <3. Now my rifle can launch grenades AND use a flamethrower (sweet! ). And after messin' with Queen Bee for about a freakin' hour or so... I can now cast down METEORS. METEORS... and then pick them back up to repeatedly bash someone with xD.

Gonna head back on in a minute or two. Just look for the speedy nutcase with a gasmask...

Just to warn yah, I'm gonna be runnin' around as Krackow, not Tenchu.

I'll probably be prowling around Little Bohemia.

Also, Fun Fact!: Having the Super Speed movement is super-effective when running away from various enemies and/or gangs.

On in a flash, amigo!

Also, another Fun Fact!: Rifles are super-effective when attackin flying nemeses, as the grenade launching perk can take them out of the air in no-time.
