Two Question...

Hello,

I have been following this game for quite a while and so far been quite impressed. Now that my household will be getting  a little bit more income I can afford a mmo sub. With that said, I am planning on getting this for the PS3.

This makes me have two questions though. When is the release date? My second question is, what are the power choices to chose from. I sort of want to have my character planned out and ready to go when the game comes out. This is mostly for role playing purposes cause I tend to be a role player when I play MMOs.

    No release date yet as far as i know.

    Power sets include Fire and Ice (defense), Nature and Sorcery (healing), Mental and Gadgets (control). They are working on others like Light but they won't be ready for release.

    release date isnt set

     

    expect ps3 version to come out later then pc (ff14 coming out 6 months after pc version to the ps3 for instance)

     

    all powers of dc universe are available other then a green lantern ring, youll have to sort thru the lists when games out to find where they put them (stuff in trees like fire/ice/brawling and then iconic has stuff like laser beam eyes and travel powers are grouped into flight speed or acrobatics with wide ranges of sub abilities)

    I was thinking of either doing a mental character with a staff for weapon and Super speed for travel or a character that has weather abilities and flight with some type of weapon LOL. I am unsure though if weather powers are available or not. I would think it would be a branch of sorcery or perhaps gadget in examples of say Weather Wizard..

     

    Also in word on if you can be invulnerable. I would think you could. I think I read some where powers like super strength are similar to just having a really high STR stat in D&D..

     

    Thanks again,

    ---I'm an idiot weather would be under nature LOL I so didn't see it i just saw sorcery listed, i hate being hopped up on pain pills--

    I'm dumb what about lightning/electricity, that would be good for a speedster i'd think..

     I honestly don't remember seeing too many articles that explain yet what the power sets look like even though there have been builds of the creator played, I suspect it is still under NDA so they are limiting what can be said by the writers at this point.  If you have a pc and pre order it for pc you get into the beta automatically if I remember right, just something you may want to consider.

    As far as roleplaying goes, I really don't know about that I like to roleplay my toons myself but the super hero mmorpg's out now don't seem to generate much of that type of crowd I hope DCUO is different though I'm not highly optimistic about that.

    but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....

    Hello,

     

    I know what you mean about role playing, people forget that the RP in MMORPG means Role playing. I think though it won't be too hard for people to role play in a modern day mmo. I am thinking I am going to role play my character as a New God cause I just love Jack Kirby and the whole 4th World setting.

     

    I was looking at some youtube vids, Nature is split into 3 different categories, shapeshifting,weather(lightning etc), and plants.. so yea it would be possible to do an electric speedster of sorts. I am uncertain though exactly what I will do, I may do the beta thing but I am unsure. I am gettin ga new video card soon.

    I am going to use HDMI cable to hook it up to my HDTV :-) so in theory I think it will run on my pc. I have 5 gigs of ram and an AMD Phenom 64 2.2Ghz quad core processor..

    how do you manage to get 5 gigs of ram without being badly assymetrical?

  • fatenabu1fatenabu1 Member Posts: 381

    It has to do with the way my motherboard is set up

    I think Mykell's list is accurate. There are several power sets that were mentioned in early videos, but will not be in at release, because they couldn't round them out in time.  Electricity (and probably weather too) and Earth come to mind, and several others. They will be added later though.

    No release date other than early 2011.  They did mention that they were planning on Valentine's day as the first in-game holiday content, so I think they are hoping to be released by then.

    weather is under nature, saw it on the IGN video they talked about it, so is plants/earth type stuff and shape shifting

  • neorandomneorandom Member Posts: 1,681

    im genuinely wanting to play this game, i tried to get into the CoX games, but the powers, well you didnt feel very super powered in that game, super speed wasnt very fast, super str couldnt crush an empty soda can, invulnerability couldnt take hits from a 9mm pistol with lead ammo.  hopefully dcu has learned from the failings of other super power mmos and given us a taste or real power (obviously with heroes and villains both having access to the powers its not like we wouldnt be able to hurt each other, but the trash mob powerless punks with 9mm pistols should be moot before our powers/kevlar)
