I can't comment on Final Rui nand powers like it, but I can definitely tell yo uthat on Virtue and Vice the best Legends players use Batman. So either they're missing the OP-ness of Catwoman and Robin, or those two aren't quite so bad compared to Bats. Many players still cling to Bane and Harley, too.
I can name one Batman player that consistently tops the damage and kill/death charts that I don't believe to be using any exploits or macros (though I know he/she's been accused of such). I know of a few that do well consistently, too. Robin's Staff Spin might be a bit much right now, but that's about it I'd say. Catwoman is just too new to be judged right now. Most players probably can't instantly identify her damage reflect, if they even know she has it.

Thats a possibility. Virtue and Vice, is that an EU PvP server?
Anyways, catwoman can't take much damage, but she puts out an insane amount. I hadn't PvP'd for a week or so, and coming back into legends with catwoman I'm easily breaking the 40k+ mark in most of my matches. Even the ones I'm losing with her. I think she is still too new for people to really know what she's capable of, and she can't take damage like robin can, but she can take down players faster than any character I've see in legends to date.
I'm still trying to get some good videos of MA and Rifle bugging out, others on the forums are stating they also are having the issues, but no videos have surfaced and I've only run into 1 player that was questionable, they were playing as huntress in a legends match. (First huntress I saw out of 10 or so matches today). I rarely see batman anymore, and every now and then I'll get a random joker or harley (harleys bomb can cancel now and executes a little quicker) but the majority seems to stick with the ones I mentioned previously.
Sadly though, I'm still having a lot of fun playing, I've been winning a majority of my matches in legends and a good handful in the arenas too. "Glitching" has gotten better in that it has gone down .... I'll see how the weekend crowd looks.
"Overall after a few hours with the update, I can tell it’s improved the game, but perhaps not as much as some may have hoped."
I skimmed the article looking for the bug fix info and found this quote. It's all I need to hear to know I shouldn't resub yet. Until the horrid UI/chat is improved and end game is nerfed I just can't resub.
@jpnole: If it's some end-game easing you're waiting on then yep, I wouldn't step back in yet. To be honest though, I'm not sure an end-game content nerf is even in the pipeline. I just sent some questions to SOE, and I didn't ask that one. Maybe I can get their PR to add one more in. I'll check for you.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
Glad to see someone is trying to report on this. SoE continues to lock every thread about it. They clean like I did when I was 8 *pushes crap under the bed*.
RIFT - You're not in Azeroth anymore. Oh hey, would you mind throwing this net on 10 of those squirrels over there? (Yes, that is an actual quest).
Here is the impression I got from the review by the two authors and some follow up replies.
The Catwoman mini-campaign doesn't have much weight to it and seems out of character for catwoman. Was super easy and lasted roughly 20 minutes without a single death. Short bit of fun, but overall it was a disppointment and underwhelming.
The bane duo is recycled from the solo quest line with a few new bits. Little more than another area to grind tokens as the loot is lacking, like all duos. Again a short bit of fun, but duos feel like a "missed opportunity" as they are missing something.
The holiday event was over a week late, but fun. Pointless, light hearted and goofy that some may not enjoy, but still fun.
New feats and cosmetic pieces offered.
The bright spot about exploiting doesn't seem to be fixed as reported and pvp might just not "be bareable" as reported. On top of that there are new problems as well as several long standing problems that have not been addressed. Annoying and plauging bugs still around. Some fixes worked.
No comments about the raid/alert.
After all of that somehow the patch is "a good start". Then following that with comments about how hopeful future patches don't suffer from the same problems the first patch did.
Did it live up to your expectations of the developers promises to add significant montly content updates?
Reading the words from your impressions it certainly doesn't sound like it did, but somehow you conclude that it was a good start? It seems confusing to read your disappointments with the patch, but conclude future awesomeness based on it.
Good informative write up. Though I'm sure I would enjoy the game as is, I'm giving it a year to mature before I spend any money on it. That will mean that the game itself will be cheaper to buy, the green lantern expansion will be out, and there will be a year's worth of content updates to serve as a buffer so that I probably wont run out of things to do.
I agree. I wait until paid beta is over. XD

Yeah I totally agree with weasel if they cant fix these glitches the game will be close soon. Last night i had 5 different ice users ice bash hitting me even though they had been killed 15 to 20 minutes later. If i logout and back in its gone but I don't feel thats how it should be fixed.
Honestly I'm only playing because of friends wanting to play it. I still feel that SOE can rot in hell for the wonderful star wars fiasco.

The fact that dcuo has a challenging end-game is a good thing imo. If anything, I hope they make the end game harder.
Why would they have a Green Lantern expansion? They already have a massive quest line dedicated to the fight between the Green Lanterns and Sinestro.
The lack of Green Lantern options (like him being a mentor or having iconic powers of a Ring) and the actually very small footprint of GL Corps in the game is being assumed to be rectified with the release of the movie also having a release of an expansion level update in DCUO. DC and SOE aren't going to let the opportunity for some corporate synergy go by. Green Lantern is actually quite a big guy in the DC/JLA so it was somewhat underwhelming how much he (in whichever form they decide to make the big one, Hal Jordan I am assuming) is represented in the game. Given that a big summer movie is going to have GL more on everyone's lips just seemed like a no brainer that we'd be having an expansion to tie in with it.
Played: Asheron's Call(still the best fantasy MMO!), EQ1, EQ2, Vanguard, DAoC, Horizons, City of Heroes/Villians, WoW (crap), LOTORO, D&D Online, Eve, Anarchy Online, and still playing SWG daily.
Have yet to see anything you've described save for the Ice Bash bug.
I've been pushing Martial Arts to its limits since December, and I have yet to "queue" Shuriken attacks even by accident. I haven't seen anyone turn invisible, either. Legends are considerably more balanced now, but the Bomb is still bugged (and the devs do know about it--they're working on it, as per Radar). Catwoman is mediocre at best against anyone that can recognize her reflect power. Bane is exactly the same, save for his Rock being fixed. Mortar I have yet to test, but I'm fairly sure I recall Radar mentioning it as being fixed with this patch.
They can't name exploits they're fixing *before they actually fix them.* Nor can they tell you what they're *not* fixing. If you really need a reason why, take an hour to think about it.
Well of course you haven't, they are invisible!
Sorry, set it up too well.

It's an SOE game so that means never. Sad but true. (que Metallica)

Has soe said anything official about there being a Green Lantern expansion coming in the future or is this player speculated desires that keep getting repeated to the point they become accepted as truth?
I've seen a lot of people speculating, but perhaps I missed something where soe mentions it? Anyone have a link?
