So, does anyone on AT have the new release or is currently playing it? I picked it up recently on the whim of a few friends who also got it. I'll consider taking it more seriously if some ATers are into as well. Currently on "Brave New World" servers.
For those who don't know, it's an action MMORPG that takes place in the DC universe. Questing system is like WoW, as well as the skill progression system. Combat is combo based, so a handcontrol is needed. The combat is about as deep as PSU (ie. button-mashy) making it casual friendly, but with more skill sets and combos available. It's definitely on a casual basis only, type of gaming, thus making it hassle free. End game content has smaller group requirements, so its a lot more doable. Between this and the new WoW expansion, WoW is better. But this is something new and its action based. |

Yeah, fun stuff. My brother and I had been playing the beta and afterward we decided to pick it up. The best case scenario was that it would be cross-platform so I could play on the Tr3y, but alas this is not the case. Extremely disappointing. Anyway though, I chose Brave New World because my brother started his character there, and then I let Kaz know.
All I've done so far is create my character and the opening tutorial, haven't had a whole lot of time on my hands haha. When I do start to play more, I'll get a hold of you dodes and we'll go all beast mode. -------------------- |

I picked it up on a whim as well, although I had been anticipating it. I'll roll on Brave New World and update with my info.

My character is Dyne. Currently level 16 w/ Nature powers (mad healz yo). I choose dual wielding swords w/ flight based powers. You can pretty much make your character look like and name him/her whatever you want.
FYI: On the PC version |

"Dr. Jersey Shore". I totally just lost it when I read this. -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.

In as Divewire.
Morality: Hero Powerset: Mental Movement: Flight Weapon: Hand Blast PC Version. Apart from ranged DPS, my role seems to be enemy debuffing. Game feels like a blend of Crackdown, PSO, and Matrix Online. Very easy to pick up, and very casual. The UI is tailored for the PS3 so it's lacking a bit, as is chat. |

Power/Role Sets Each power in their utility role (controller, tank, healer) does extra damage and takes extra damage against other roles. Here is the counter list so you know which class to attack in pvp.
