I heard Logictec is making a special keyboard for the awesome combat this game has - it only has 2 huge pillow sized buttons where you can smash your head against to win.. or if you are gifted enough face roll to victory...

Sorry this game was a huge let down - I like what they tried to do with more story in their game than the other superhero MMOs , but this game fails on so many levels.

They really need someone new driving the future of this game - or go F2P, there is no way it has the content or is worth premium MMO sub fees.

For those who are actually sticking it out in this game and having fun... that's great and I wish you well.

Great read Patrick!

Waiting for The Foundry to hit STO - I think this will be a game changer and something other MMO games should look at. I know Neverwinter Nights 1 wasn't an MMO (although players did make MMO worlds with the toolset) - and look at what user generated content did for that title. If done right it can be an amazing asset to players and game companies.

"We're told that the duality of Two-Face's nature will play a large part in his content"

Makes me wonder if they duality they are referring to is not his actual IP characteristics but will he be broken and buggy, then fixed, then broken and buggy...

Hey it's a feature...

I tried this for 2 beta events and it didn't grab me at all... I really dug the idea of the rifts but when I actually tried to experience them they turned into 10-5 fps cluster f*** fights with 30 other players trying to hit 5 mobs, and I have a feeling Trion had them cranked up because they were always spawning so it became a full time job shutting them down. Also did they fix the wierd running animation for some reason it seemed like everyone (even mounted) moved really really slow.

I am keeping an eye on this game - just not sold yet.

So how is the server pop. after the 30 days?

Actually some of the issues as you call it are far from Minor. The UI and worst chat system next to Final Fantasy XIV is not minor. It's an MMO which should be social / group tools that are well executed. Instead they dropped millions on awesome trailers made by Blur and launched with almost no content, and what some players would call game breaking elements.

I unsubbed so I don't know what the server pop is like (but I am guessing with the shallow game play it took a big hit) - and I really did want this game to be special as I am a huge fan of the DC universe. The game can come around to be a something special if they really turn up the heat on fixing these LARGE issues, and crank out more non-grindy content. I will have to check back in 6 months.

Glad you are enjoying it - and hopefully it keeps you entertained.

Raging that CO's open power system is bad/lazy because the Devs are still tweeking powers is kind of ignorant... WoW doesn't offer very deep freeforming but they have been tweeking their classes / powers since launch. I wouldn't say Blizzard is lazy for doing this... or do you think Blizzard is lazy too?

Having a really great time so far with their F2p - refreshing after my let down on the other superhero MMO I was playing and got bored of after 4 days. I do hope they make more Archetypes soon though - there are many aspects of the power system we as F2p players can't touch or experience yet - like gagets, or electrical...

Looks good! Reminds me of old X-wing vs. Tie fighters days only gone MMO style! This one is on my radar...
