DCUO New Frontier GWJ League Hero Roster

Just created Flameout. Only level 3 and still figuring this out. Sure is a lot different from WoW!

I nuked Hypatia after doing some more experimenting and coming up with a concept I wanted to play more.

Sigrun - Magic/Ice/One-hand/Flight.

I'm kind of missing the Champions Online model where you chose two different power sets to combine. I like the Storm set from Ice, but not really the Cryonics set. And for a pseudo-Valkyrie, it would be very cool concept-wise to combine Storm with the Fate set from Sorcery. But, of course, you can't do that. :l Ahh, well.

Being able to mix in iconic powers is all well and good—but there aren't exactly many of them, and there's no real theme you can get out of it. It also kind of annoys me that the power sets are all tied to roles. Why can't I be a sorcerous tanky person? Or any non-elemental tanky person? The combination of the limited number of power types and the fact that they're each tied to group roles seems very very limiting now that I understand better how the game works.

Add Druid Prime to my growing list of alts. Anyone on today who can do some inviting?

Java - Sorry for missing your message in-game, I was in the middle of an instance and could not figure out how to respond without getting destroyed

No worries, I've been there myself.

Which reminds me, are we going to use Vent? I see we have a DCU channel which I'm guessing is for this game, but I haven't seen anyone in it. I'll start using that channel when I'm on unless everyone else is in another channel.

Using Vent is a good idea, if for nothing more than invites to the Guild. Never seem to find anyone on with all of the alts.

This chat system is painfully bad. I see Habanero and Bubbles on, but neither one notices my chat messages.

Yeah, the chat blows. I'm hoping we start using Vent more.

Sorry bout that. When I'm doing missions, text in that dumb chat window flies by so fast it's easy to miss it. Vent is a very good suggestion; I'll make sure I'm online in vent while I'm playing to make invites easier.

LOL I was on today and sent you like 15 messages but no response, this stupid communication system is the worst.

Really? That's very odd... I can understand missing one, but there's no way I should have missed 15. Sorry

It's most likely not your fault, even when paying attention, I sometimes miss them due to the lack of color or ability to have a chat mod that helps differentiate stuff. Plus there were some guys spamming about doing the Joker and where the PVP ring event was going on.

Heh. I sent you at least 10, over the course of a few hours. The lameness of this chat UI cannot be overstated.

Actually, I think you can change the color in the chat settings. The default for tells is pretty easy to miss, though (it's either plain white or just off-white.) You can certainly set up a chat tab with less stuff in it, although I was disheartened to discover that the "talking head is talking" quest text always shows up—there's no way to turn that off.

Okay I've figured out who my mains are and I would love an invite into the guild for my heroes:

Cascade - ice - Main
Commander Shepard - mental
Prince - sorcery

I also have my villains on the server and if anybody sees them, know that it's me:

Cataclysm - fire - Main Villain
King Ramses - gadgets
Father Anderson - gadgets

Original post could probably use some updating soon.

New character:

Miss Tree - Tech/Mental/Dual Pistols/Acrobatics.

New character for me, which is my new favorite: Sorcery/Nature/hand blast/flying

I've got about 10 characters created at this point If I can ever settle on a main and a couple primary alts then I'll hit you guys up for an invite.

There's a good iconic armor guide on the forums with screenshots, which may influence someone's decision on a mentor.

Magic really seems to get the best sets.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of any of the "iconic" armor. They're kind of cool, sure, but not much of them "works" outside of a full suit, and a full suit looks very much...not like my character.

Almost 30 now with Sigrun, then I'll respec to focus on the abilities I actually use and as many passives as I can squeeze in with them. >_>

Last quest set I did was the Black Adam line. I don't know why, but he's one of my favorite villains, even though I'm not a big fan of Captain Marvel.

Also did one of the master flight races for a platinum score, and another one for... SILVER!?! Ouch. They're... kind of hard.

I've been focusing on a magic/ice/two-hand/flight hero on New Frontier named Fimbulvetur. I friended up everyone on the list, but so far I haven't seen anyone online. If anyone sees me wandering around I'd love a guild invite.

Yeah, I'll join you. I haven't done any of the level 30 stuff yet -- I've been rerolling when I hit level cap. I'd love to check out the end game content.

In other news: Since I'll be hitting 30 very shortly, anybody want to get together and try doing some duos and such or introduce me to duos and such? Warning: I've got DPS pretty well figured out with my setup, but I'm a lot less clear on how to make it tank effectively yet. That's my plan for what to do tonight.

I'm up for this. I just hit 30 last night.

Hmm. A lot of folks on the other night, although everyone was very quiet. I'll keep an eye out for you, if I remember. Jump on Ventrilo, too and say hi (and I apologize in advance if I'm not actually there because I forgot to log out... >_>)

I think that Fimbulvetr and Sigrun should clearly go out and smite the forces of evil together. Swap old war stories over a flagon of mead or something.

I'm in the same boat. I got a couple of characters invited only to never play them again. Once I stick with one past level 15 or so I'll ask for another invite.

Gratz on 30!

30! Respecced to try things out.

My new mission: Determine whether it's possible to tank "hard" fights without the ice form stuff from cryo, because I do not want to turn into a giant popsicle, thank you very much.

Gratz on 30!

I really wish they had a might powerset for tankers so I could tank without turning into an ice cube or fireball. So many people have complained about that on the forums that I'm hoping it happens soon.

Looking for some demon armor pieces if anyone has any on the new frontier hero side for trade:) I want to complete the look.

Gratz on 30!

Thanks.
