Some DCU Online Musings
I encountered my first villains today. As in, players that have chosen, for whatever inconceivable reason, to play as villains, rather than NPCs that hail from the large list of DC baddies.
Good godswallop were they jerks to me. I was going along, just trying to complete my mission (was on the Raven-Trigon one at the time, so I had to whallop flame demons and close portals and stuff) and all of a sudden I get attacked by huge armored behemoths, and my bb goes, "Oh snap! That's a villain!" All the ones I met were ridiculously overpowered in comparison to my character and just wiped the floor with poor Alorele several times. It was impossible to escape them once they came at me too.
Fortunately, I managed to learn to recognize them and avoid them. And complete my mission.
It was a ridiculous amount of fun doing the Raven mission. I got to see Cyborg and Starfire and Donna and Raven and Nightwing and Nightwing was kind of useless in the fight once I'd freed him from Raven's influence because he kept doing his spinning top... thing too far out of range to do any damage to Donna and Starfire was unbearably sweet and adorable and I LOVE HER SO MUCH and Cyborg and I got to tag-team and it was basically just really awesome.
Yay.
I uh... I may have also fangirl-squeed a bit when Nightwing took Starfire with him to go search the upper levels of the compound and they went off together. Yeah.
