Your Kung-Fu Is Not Strong... Surprise Bleeding Surprise
First Impressions... So I finally got DC Universe Online installed and patched, created a fairly satisfying heroine, and dived in. The first part of the game - its tutorial "level" - was a lot of fun, as was the first mission once you escape to Metropolis, featuring one of my favourite DC characters, Zatanna. Mission Two, with another favourite, Raven of the Titans, at its core, started off well enough, and even my first defeats were no game breaker...
And then I got to the point of reaching the captured heroes - Raven's team-mates. "Outclassed" is the word, I think. I don't have the powers, or the skill with the controls to stand much of a chance. I did defeat my first opponent at about the third attempt, but he was absolutely NO HELP, just when I really needed it. Cue a frustrated log out, and a search for a source of "inside information"...
My character is Level 8. In the video I finally located, the player was at Level 13. I think some serious training and grinding elsewhere is necessary before I can try this again, which is a damn pity, as it somewhat breaks the "feel" of the game. I shouldn't be able to run away, and come back several weeks later to kick the ass of this mission.
I didn't really get into Star Trek Online until someone showed me how to equip and manage my ship. Seems like this is the same deal, of sorts...
Sorry, Raven - a rescue will have to wait.
