Is anyone here playing this? I tried to sit through the download but couldn't... Bottom line I'm just wondering is it worth it (i don't mean money wise.. obviously, but it's just that i got Skyrim recently) So yeah are y'all playing and is it good?
p.s. Hero or Villain?
DC Universe Online F2P??
@sentryssj4: I love it! Then again who doesn't love a free game? I got a hero (speedster(which is awesome)) and then a villain (flyer). If you want an open world online free awesome game, go ahead and download it. What have you got to lose? But you might want to wait until you're about to go to sleep before you acquire game assets. That takes about 7 hours after the initial download and install.
I'm not waiting 4 hours for it to download. My best friend told me he wasn't too crazy about it but the prize is totally not worth the wait.
I was a beta tester since it was an open beta. I had fun. Or maybe I'm too used to the way Warcraft does things (For the Horde, bitches). It was a nice change, though. As much as I enjoy killing Ragnaros on a weekly basis, I found it more fun doing new missions (eh, quests) in a somewhat modern city, versus the general setting for an MMO. And a lot of it is soloable, which I prefer. Well, the Alerts aren't, but those are basically dungeons. The solo quests, when you go in a building to take down whoever the mission you're on is still a bit challenging but fun.
The only thing I don't like is that you can only have $1500 at a time, and any that goes over goes into an escrow account, which you pay real money to get out. That's the F2P bit. If you give 5 bucks, you can keep up to 2k at a single time, but still an escrow. the $14.99/month gives 0 cash limits, and 16 character slots. Thing is, though, no one really uses the AH, so money isn't too much of an issue.
I'm a villain, mentoring under Joker. I use Flight, and Martial Arts/Flame based attacks, and DPS but can tank. Level 23 on the PvE server. I learned on Warcraft that PvP servers are pure hell, so decided fuck that. Yeah, I'm a carebear :P.
It's good, You should play it, I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot. And take villains, since the interaction with the NPC's is far more fun for the villains, because they have the greater characters with a lot better inGame personalities (Joker, Harley and so on), while the heroes are kinda boring. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and even Flash, they all sound the same!
