The highest anyone can have at the moment is 90.) Mental powered toons use their extraordinary minds to get things done, possessing moves like Telekinesis, Terrorize and Menace in there arsenal of superpowers. (Note: CR = combat rating, one system used to determine the strength of a character based on the level gear they are wearing.
A resident of Gotham City, The Equalizer has a CR of 88 and his current power is Mental. Meet The Equalizer, my pure DPS mentored by The Dark Knight himself. Gotham’s Favorite Son, The Equalizer, my Mental DPS from DCUO.
But, for the sake of this post, I will only focus on my main toon (in-game lingo for your most powerful or your favorite character) who’s named, just like my Defiance Ark Hunter, after the late Sir Edward Woodward’s greatest television role. I have three heroes that I mainly use (one pure DPS, one Healer/DPS and one Controller) and a villain DPS that is just as strong as my heroes that I occasionally play with. Here’s an example of the gameplay, featuring the 4-man alert called “Inner Sanctum,” where players help Batman rid the Batcave of Brainiac and the robotic menace Brother Eye (Background music was added by the video uploader and is not in-game): Anyone can be a DPS (short for Damage Per Second, the heavy hitters in the game), but only certain powers match up to the game’s support roles of Healer, Controller (the battery that provides power to the group) and Tank (the punching bag of the group, so to say.) There are four in-game roles to choose from depending on what power you select at the beginning in the creation screen. However, once you reach Level 30, you are allowed to run instances geared for two players (called duos), 4-players (called alerts) and 8 players (called raids). In order to get stronger or “level up,” characters run missions in both Gotham City and Metropolis based around the main in-game storyline (in a nutshell, Brainiac has invaded Earth, and will stop at nothing to conquer its inhabitants and destroy the planet.) Most of the leveling-up missions are solo. Heroes have the choice to be mentored by either Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman (naturally) villains can learn dastardly deeds from The Joker, Lex Luthor or Circe. The game, based in the fictional universe of DC Comics, gives players the opportunity to create their own superhero or villain that can either save the world or profit from its destruction (Note: players are made through a in-game creation matrix that allows you to choose you character’s gender, moral affiliation, power, movement mode, clothing and looks.) Since January 2011, I’ve been a part of a large and often enthusiastic community within the popular Playstation 3 MMORPG DC Universe Online. (Click the video below to see Stewie’s reaction to this news.) My name is Nicholas Martinez and I am a digital superhero. It’s hard for me to admit this, but I’m going to just say it as plainly as possible.
#My secret identity netflix update#
I bought the entire Song of Fire and Ice series last year, which filled my summer reading quota (along with my fall and winter one as well.) I’ve made it a mission to update my website and make it vibrant (which is why you are reading this post at the moment.)Īnd of course, I’ve been my PS3 to good use.īut, there is something I need to admit as a gamer, a secret I’ve kept from family and friends (or at least the ones who don’t see my PSN trophy updates on Facebook) for almost 2 years now. In the midst of searching for gainful employment and taking on freelance assignments, I’ve been spending my time catching up on some of my favorite pastimes.įor example, I’ve put my Netflix account to good use by tearing through episodes of Archer, The West Wing and Doctor Who.
