Level 9 atm, took about 3 hours to get that from casual play. Can't comment on pvp yet, but the leveling is akin to champions online. The difference is how it does not take 50 quests to ding! Spec abilities seem fun and you have to be fairly quick on your feet when it comes to big pulls etc. Seems ok so far, but at level 9, i've not done much!

Regarding pvp, the one thing I fear is people running/flying away. If you can do that like in champions online, it will be frustrating.

So tell me how it is?!!

One of the best MMORPG's I have played so far, even though I am level 6 ish, the PvE & Graphics & Voice Acting & Level Design is just sublime really..

The abilities are so much fun, throwing a massive truck on to people to kill them and a massive fire rock thing :worthy:

If people still have that opinion in a few months, I might part with some cash. :)

My game is at the store *frown*

On the plus side, they sent me my bonus code already, so atleast i can admire that.

The code that is, bunch of smug letters and numbers, mocking me as they fullwell know i ain't going to use it before friday :(

Tbh, It's Sony, they will throw cash at it to make it a success :) and with the promises of all these updates... I see it becoming a very big game.

I'm rifle and mental which is working nice. One thing though. I have to hold right mouse and then forward to do my forward roll and burst fire, but to do my flamethrower move its the same button combo. It says the alternate combo is both forward and right...but can't get that to work :( any ideas?

Would you spec down one line...or split?

Tis a fine question I'm wondering about now. I have my brawler/plant dude at level 19 now and he has most of the best healing skills. Was thinking of picking up a few of the morph skills from the other line now for a bit of variety in my gameplay.

Healing people is pretty fun, but also a little bit tricky as there are no targetted heals. It is mostly about area HOTs. The plant line have some very pretty skills though, loving it a lot.

Didn't think much of the gadgets tree so Billy Whizz has mostly specced into the speedster tree. If you respec at level 9 or after you can spend all of your skill points in the travel tree if you so wish - just in case people didn't know.

I have a question: What does the "dominance" stat do for a character? I'm hoping it enables me to tie up Poison Ivy and stick my thorn in her but it seems doubtful.

If you click on the stat it gives you a brief description of what it does.

Im Nature too, and loving it, took the shapeshift line and at level 11 I think that I will branch out (gettit!) into the other tree to try and cherry pick (twice!) the best skills for a mixture of offence and healing.

They really need different types of quests, it's boring doing the same quest over and over :|

Is the voice acting constant by the way?

Meaning, is it an age of conan experience where all seems cool and acted, then drops you in a text simulator :p
