    I want to do a video feature about the common questions people have a bout DC Universe Online. Since mmos are very complex and often overwhelming I think it would a cool idea. Now to do this obviously I need to know what questions you guys have. Maybe about character customisation, combat, quests and raids, pvp. Anything! So help me out fellow duders.

    I want to know if travel method ever factors into combat. IE, flying enemies, wall scaling enemies, enemies, running off at 200 mph, etc. Or does everyone agree to fight on a flat boring surface?

    Is there any sort of phasing going on? In the quick look, they were beating up Scarecrow's thugs to prevent them from spreading his Fear Gas around the city. If you beat them up, do they get replaced by a different threat or are they just always there as newbie fodder?
     
    How difficult is the combat? From my understanding they've gone for a more action-y approach as opposed to the standard "auto attack while 1-=" MMO format, but is it still more or less automated so long as you just push buttons, or is there some skill required on the player's end to get through encounters successfully?

    How good is the minute to minute gameplay? 
     
    In my experience a lot of MMOs have a lot of interesting ideas and mechanics built into them, but the majority of game time spent is just repetitive and boring. 
     
    I'm expecting some level of monotony, but I want to know if fighting is actually, you know, entertaining.

    I feel like it's almost too early to ask about "metagame" stuff, like which builds are best for which play styles. But that's the most interesting factor for me, to decide if I want to actually play it before SWTOR comes out.

    if you fly you can fight in the air, i battle air dudes all the time flying, and im usually flying attack downed enemies too (or when im healing in instances). havent seen any speedy or clingy dudes tho

    I'm only going for passive ones myself
     
    @salad10203 said:

    there are 5 lvl 1-29 instances and 6 lvl 30 only instances for parties (4 people), 4 duo instances (for 2 people, lvl 30 only), 2 raids (8 people, lvl 30 only)

    its a mmo, did you expect shakespere? there's alot of long chains involving known heroes and villains, which is cool.

    i love the fighting, but thats me i guess. the dungeons / instances are awesome in my opinion, quite looking forward to see what raids are like as 4man grps get quite chaotic. its not dungeons, its usually wide open places, kinda like a FPS lvl, not a wow dungeon

    you can do any quest, no matter how long or instances (most chains end with a small dungeon instance, not to be confused with the actual instances with loot and shit) in a party

    @Rhaknar:  
    Yes, I know it's an MMO but the writing can still have character like it did in WoW. In DCU it's just plain bad, from what the quick look shown, with weird wording and awkward dialogue. 
     
    Also isn't it a lil dickish to be answering all these questions the OP intended to answer for his video? Sure you're getting the answers out quicker, but still..

    Will it satisfy my loot lust? Are there 'uber' sets of armor/gear that give your character a badass look?

    Can you do a rundown of all the powers and weapons? 
    Like explain what each one does, and how each one works? So I dont have to mess around so much wit hit and I can just jump right into the game. 
     
    I'm specifically curious about gadgets. 
     
    Oh and is the weapon you choose at first the only weapon you can have? 
    Or can you go Dual Pistols and have a melee weapon/brawling options?

    What areas outside of Gotham and Metropolis cities are there? im having a lot of fun with the game but im only level 5 so all ive seen are cities so far (except the starting area) and was wondering if at higher levels there are more areas that divert from city landscapes such as Supermans HQ that you can fight through/quest/raid whatever (I don't read comics or play many mmo's so forgive my limited knowlege on either subject).
