So um... I like DC universe online, do you guys like DC universe online?
I play on the PC and I dont find it too button mashy. My weapon style is the brawling one and I lurve me sum combos. I especially like the double backhand, soccer/football kick and haymaker combos.
I also went with psychic powers and focused on telekinesis. I'm a bit mixed on this one. on one hand I have the fight ending telekinetic bolt that I can use to make fights never happen in the first place but on the other I have mass levitation which is the same thing but stronger and shorter range which almost never has the chance to actually happen (gets interrupted)
For soloing, mass levitation is pretty garbage but i can see it being a very strong opening to a group fight once the tank has aggro. Also watching an enemy float in the air helplessly as a bus flies down the street to smash into it is pretty awesome for a first level power.
I found that the game makes you feel powerful right from the get-go which is nice in comparison to other MMO's I've played. I can take on 3-4 similar level enemies at once with fair enough ease and I only start to get bogged down at 5. In other MMO's I tend to be able to take on 2 at a time, 3 max. Being able to fly, move fast, at level 1 is also a nice perk.
I didn't find the "lack of variety" in the two main locals to be a problem at all, especially with spotting clues and such. I find Metropolis to be the better city (tall buildings are tall) but I like Gotham more for it's super heroes and villains.
Also not many MMO's let you make a character like mine. minor grip that the cheetah pattern isn't available at character creation (though I hear its available to villains through pvp) but its not like its available much anywhere else.
The interface can certainly use some improvments but nothing game breaking so far. Can I save up power points for the 22nd level iconic powers or will it only let me have one of those at level 22? (currently lvl 20)
