Let's Play DC Universe Online - Part 197 - STAR Labs Research Facility (Instance)

[XxHyoga87xX]

I've finally started playin this game and I wanted to know is it possible for pc and ps3 players to play in the sam server?

[sambonz]

@XxHyoga87xX sadly it's not, no. separate servers.

[XxHyoga87xX]

@sambonz Yea i just figured that out a while ago. Im in a xbox prty now with my friend whose playin it on ps3.lol Anyway I became a villian in a PvE server I'd love to play with you sometime.

[sambonz]

@XxHyoga87xX feel free to join the Supervillains if you ever play it on PC and say gidday =)

[FutureBoyEXE]

I wouldn't put it passed Luthor to explode people.  That villainous fiend.

[sambonz]

@FutureBoyEXE aye, that he is!

[buttermaster99]

SOOO MUCH SNOW WITH THAT WEIRD FETURE

[TheDave25s]

@sambonz yea I realized ineed to get players with batman and superman to team up with me and go into each of their leveling (mentor specific) solo instances I go in after them then they leave so id be able to get more feats >.> what im a feat/achivement w***e lol.

[sambonz]

@TheDave25s ahaha you are indeed, and there's nothing wrong with that! ;p

[xXSHOE]

Just started watching your videos as I considered downloading DCUO, and I ended up doing so because of your videos. Just wanted to say that I love what you're doing and I would love to join your guild when I do get DCUO up and running. Thanks for all you do on your channel.

[sambonz]

@xXSHOE thank you for the kind words, and i'm glad that you're getting into the game. it's a lot of fun =) you're very welcome to join the League, and any other League member can send you an invite if you /shout when you're online. be sure to say gidday if you see me on!

[xXSHOE]

@sambonz Just out of curiosity, what is your timezone difference from the east US, or ,rather, what timezone are you in? Just wondering what kinds of times you're online so I might be able to see you in game some time.

[sambonz]

@xXSHOE sure - i'm in the 'Australian Eastern' timezone, and we're currently observing Daylight Savings. so right now it's 3:45pm Friday, and it's 8:45pm Thurs PST / 11:45pm EST Thurs =)

[49AWESOMENESS]

[sambonz]

@49AWESOMENESS i'm glad it was useful! =)

[matt10831]

@matt10831 absolutwly! i'll be doing alerts a lot now that we have the Superzeroes all set up. i'll be running those, alongside Arenas, Legends matches, Duos etc with the League Members =)

[matt10831]

[sambonz]

@krillemy there are weapons vendors in the PD's and Clubs, as well as in the Watchtower of course =)

[krillemy]

Hello sambo:) what are your powers? i didnt understand in the start of the video

[sambonz]

@krillemy this character's powers are Hard Light - we're basically a Green Lantern Corp Member =)

[TheDave25s]

And hmm ive never ran the star labs solo instance lol. Nice vid.

[sambonz]

@TheDave25s it's a fun run =)

[TheDave25s]

@sambonz i think I missed you on the last 2 league invite times also when eastern us time zone will you be on next my I ask?

[sambonz]

@TheDave25s no worries - anyone in the League can actually invite new members so you don't need to wait around until i'm on =) regarding when i'm next on, i try to get there daily in the evenings my time (Australian) but i'll soon be publishing some more actual times that i'll be visiting over this weekend =)

[DaMaCHiN3]

I want to change servers from eu to us on the ps3 but dont know how you said I have to change the region but how?

[sambonz]

@DaMaCHiN3 hrm that's a very good question - i'm not sure how one changes region on a PS3 - perhaps somebody here will be able to answer that for you =)

[puls3ator]

Hey sambonz your my favorite youtuber love your vids please don't stop shout out plz

@puls3ator hi there! thanks for your support, and for sure look out in a future episode for a shoutout =)

[Wildfr3M0n]

Do a lets play on city of heroes freedom and be friends with a dude named Flaming frider

[sambonz]

@Wildfr3M0n lol /salute? o_O i used to play CoX and i enjoy it for short bursts, but i find it gets repetitive really fast, so i won't be doing a LP on it.

[Wildfr3M0n]

can u fly in space?

or will it kill u?

[sambonz]

@Wildfr3M0n you can't get to space to fly in it =)

[JUZTINThEEPIK]

[sambonz]

@JUZTINThEEPIK thanks for watching! glad to hear you're playing, and i hope to see you in the Superzeroes when we come to the PS3 =)

[Cow343]

Hiya, sambonz! I just started watching your LP's to get me though the Trigon section of DCUO. Hope to join your guild when it comes to PS3. Btw, do you know how chatting works on the PS3 version? *feels really noobish for saying that* Also, shout out me bro?

[sambonz]

@Cow343 hiya! ahh, Trigon =) re the chatting, i honestly don't i'm afraid. if you mean txt chatting, i'm pretty sure you can just plug in a ?US?B keyboard and use that =) and look out for a shoutout in a future ep.

[49AWESOMENESS]

Hey Sambonz you should get heat vision on iconic powers and can you give me a shout out in the next video

[sambonz]

[Wizarous]

ah btw Sambonz question! Will me as a villain be able to use the say command and you heroes will be able to see my message?

[sambonz]

@Wizarous nope - Heroes and Villains can't communicate =)

[DaMaCHiN3]

Thanks but will my characters get deleted and I got an extra character slot will they still be there

[sambonz]

@DaMaCHiN3 your toons dont carry over between servers, no.

[KELVINWEST14]

To many heroes and villians online sambonz maybe u can make a sambonz corp for DCUO video lol

[sambonz]

[zeeBoBFiSH]

[sambonz]

@zeeBoBFiSH perhaps in Saint's Row 3 ;)

[KELVINWEST14]

[sambonz]

@KELVINWEST14 yah being able to make our own would be great!

[scoobyscrapdoo]

[sambonz]

@shadowexshun i'll be online probably around your lunchtime Tuesday =)

[HawkEyeA53B]

The slowdown is due to how epic DCUO fights are of course. ;D Heh heh.

[sambonz]

@HawkEyeA53B haha ya we'll roll with that ;p

[Olssonricky]

just me or did you not use combos , like claw and then left or right click on mouse for a new spell with no power cost, maybe just me not watching good.

[sambonz]

@Olssonricky no it's not you - sometimes i don't do the combos =)

[GrimSoultaker]

HOWS THE PS3 DOWNLOAD COMEING

[Hector8able]

HEY SAMBOZ! Now i playing this fantastic game!

[Olssonricky]

guess ur on us pc server?

[sambonz]

@Olssonricky yup 'US PVE PC'

[Olssonricky]

good that they fixed the server a bit , atleast the eu pc, think more ppl can be online :)

[sambonz]

@Olssonricky yah i think things will slowly come right across the board - it's been a rough couple of days but it will settle down =)

[Jai452]

hey sambo how are you today? grate ep i thought there might be a cinematic comic after the fight but what are you going to do? one q i have the ps3 version are the servers the same as the pc's ie uk and usa, ect ? =)

[sambonz]

@Jai452 i'm tired! and hot! the weather here is bonkers at the moment waaa :S sadly the servers are separate bewteen the PC and PS3 versions.

[Jai452]

@sambonz sorry to hear that the weather is a bit crazy but you are not alone there its really cold here, oh the servers thing i mean is it like you have one set for the uk and so on or is it one set for all on the ps3?

[sambonz]

@Jai452 oh! lol sorry i mis-read your question. (tired = badl) yup the PS3 servers are split by region as well, so there's a US one and a separate EU one =)

[Jai452]

@sambonz aaaaaaahhhhhhhh thanks for the info =)

[MyMrDickhead2]

can i join ure league on ps3

[sambonz]

@MyMrDickhead2 i haven't made it to the PS3 servers yet, but once i'm there and i've created a league, yes =)

[MyMrDickhead2]

Hey I Have A Question can have the green lantern dlc compare with the f2p

[sambonz]

@MyMrDickhead2 you need to purchase it in the 'marketplace' ingame. it's DLC =)

[fade802]

hey man, you're having great videos, give me a shout out next video please, i'm going to be playing as soon as free to play happens over here in the uk, keep on rockin' dcuo

[sambonz]

@fade802 thank you! glad you're enjoying them, and look for a shoutout in an upcoming episode (may take 2 weeks to show up) =)

[markj30m]

[sambonz]

@markj30m cool name! be sure to join the League =)

[markj30m]

[sambonz]

@markj30m ah ok - thanks for the info =)

[mattkooliodude]

The world still looks so empty, I can't wait for you to catch up to F2P and see your reaction when there's people everywhere!

[sambonz]

@mattkooliodude haha you know me too well ;p yup i'm super happy that the server is chocka now. good times ahoy! =)

[Intosia]

Good tip with the Escape key!

[sambonz]

@Intosia yah it's actually a really nice addition to the UI =)

[DaMaCHiN3]

On ps3 are you gonna be on the eu servers?

[sambonz]

@DaMaCHiN3 unfortunately i don't have any plans to be on the EU servers for either PC or PS3, however you're more than welcome to come join us on the US servers (which you can do by simply changing the 'region' on your launcher) =)

[DaMaCHiN3]

I got dcuo on pc but it lags way to much so I'll just play on ps3

[Mrxboxmatty]

hey sambonz how do you earn station cash?

[sambonz]

@Mrxboxmatty generally speaking in SOE games, you rarely earn it - you need to purchase it with c/card, PayPal, or with Gamecards. sometimes they run promos but mainly it's just purchased with real money =)

[Mrxboxmatty]

@sambonz that kinda sucks

[sambonz]

@Mrxboxmatty well, they need to have ways of bringing in revenue to support the ongoing development and maintenance of the game, outside of monthly subscriptions =)

[Lief129]

can u also invite me to your guild

[sambonz]

@Lief129 anyone in the League can invite other players, so when you're online just /shout out for an invite =)

[Lief129]

sambo can u friend me my name is TheFrozenClaw

[sambonz]

@Lief129 best bet is to make sure you join the Superzeroes - that way i'll be able to see you whenever i'm on =)

[maverick66]

will you recreate your characters on the ps3 side or create new ones?

[sambonz]

@maverick66 all the familiar faces will come over to meet you guys on the PS3 =)

[PhoenixPsilence]

did u say u were naked hmmmmmmm

[sambonz]

@PhoenixPsilence lol did i?!

[DemeterSeasons]

Thanks for the shout out sambo, really appreciated it. P.S like everyone say you should get some rest. Im sure after that you'll gain more energy than right now.

[sambonz]

@DemeterSeasons it's my pleasure - thanks for your support =)

[Xenwing]

Thanks big time Simbonz for the shout out. And like the way u said my name too. Cool, not to far from lvl 30 and we can group together and kick some big time butt. lolol

[sambonz]

@Xenwing you're very welcome! whoa already closing in on L30?? that's quick!

[Xenwing]

@sambonz Welcome and true, should hit lvl 30 tomorrow. I help kill like 5 or 6 world bosses last night. they are fun big time.. I hope to they up the lvl on the chats too. See u again sometime in game.

[sambonz]

@Xenwing good work!

[sambonz]

@sambonz grats! prepare to have loads of fun =)

[Xenwing]

@sambonz Thanks. I redid Epee's look and posted some photos on my fb page. If u want to see them to.

[sambonz]

@Xenwing oh kewl! being able to change looks via the style function is an awesome feature of the game =)

[Xenwing]

@sambonz yes it is, And if buy hair you unlocked them, but Idk why yet. They do have some that u cant get at char creation too. Which I thought was nice big time. I got stock in game today after helping WWo fight Curice and had to log otu of game. Hope I dont have to fight her again.

[sambonz]

@Xenwing it's definitely great that they have styles that aren't available at character creation!

[Xenwing]

@sambonz yes it is and I like that u get to unlock them. I want them all in time lol

[Xenwing]

@sambonz Im tring to get as good as u..

[capper187]

Taking a break from LPing sounds like a good idea. Maybe upgrade from Vista, as well. But perhaps you should ask your friends about it. Whatdaya think, Tallahasse?

Tallahasse: "Vista's a piece of shit. Get rid of it."

Hmm... Reggie?

Reggie: "Maybe some downtime's in order, Sambo. I could use the rest from hearing you whine about how 'mean' I treat you, that's for sure."

You have some wise mates, there. But it's up to you.

[sambonz]

@capper187 haha you've got them both down to a tee ;)

[omikaa4]

@sambonz all though it will be hard for us with out u for a week or 2 you should take a break!

[sambonz]

@omikaa4 hehe you sound like Tallahassee - he's always pushing for me to take a break ;) thanks for the kind words =)

[TheHorndOne]

....and you missed a collectible, Sambo. Review the clip, you'll see it (it's hard to spot, it's blue on blue).

[sambonz]

@TheHorndOne noooooooooooo!

[TheHorndOne]

@sambonz Here's let me recheck the video... look at 26:00 to 26:15. There it is.

[sambonz]

@TheHorndOne oh wow - right in front of the pillar there! yup totally missed it :D

[TheHorndOne]

@sambonz Glad to help out!

[omikaa4]

@sambonz sambo how do i join ur League ? :)

[sambonz]

@omikaa4 just send out a /shout asking to join the Superzeroes. anyone in the League can send you an invite, and as long as they're not in the middle of an instance or fight, they will =)

[jimmythomas13]

Sambonz you know me i've never complained about the game before but now i am. i knew this F2P thing was gonna south on day one and i was right! i mean tons of glitches, way too long que times (well over 9k). Are you kidding me? i'm a paid subscriber! Look i'm all about opening the game for new players but at this rate we're gonna need a few more mega servers!

[sambonz]

@jimmythomas13 that's ok! we're all succeptible to a complaint every now and then - myself included ;) i agree that paid subs should get queue priority, and as it happens, so do SOE. they're working on implementing it at the moment =)

[TheHorndOne]

Damn, maybe I should jump over to the EU servers, maybe that will kill the lag I'm getting......

[Freeze495]

@TheHorndOne I know... I got an nvidia gtx 570 and an Intel i5 quad core 3.3 ghz 8gb of ram and still am experiencing a great amount of lag. SOE needs to tweak the U.S. servers just a bit lol.

[sambonz]

@TheHorndOne it's nice and easy to switch regions on the launcher - it'll download a few small updates each time you switch tho.

[Switch602]

hey sambo i got your message and me and my brother did get into the league

[sambonz]

@Switch602 welcome!

[zeeBoBFiSH]

how do i get to motropolus from gotham?

[sambonz]

@zeeBoBFiSH you go to a MPD station and use the teleporter to get to the Watchtower. you then use a teleporter inside there to port to Gotham =)

[zeeBoBFiSH]

@sambonz tanks dude

[Wizard99991]

hey sambonz just wanted to let u know ur vids are awesome and keep up the good work man. Um a quick question man when dcu online comes out free (if it does then when is it) also just wanted to know if i could be apart of ur guild and would treat me different if i were to join if i used super speed instead of flight.

thanks for ur time your fan wizard

[sambonz]

@Wizard99991 thank you! DCUO is already F2P so get in there and have some fun =) you're very welcome to join the League, and it doesn't matter what travel form, weapons, or powerset you choose, no.

[sambonz]

hehe ok - so regarding a break:

it's probably true that i do indeed need a break.. i love bringing these LP's to you guys, and of course i love the games themselves, but things are really nuts in terms of not having any free time. i'll probably plan a few days off over Xmas or something, but i'll be sure to let everyone know well in advance.

thanks for caring! =)

[Treefyleaf]

@sambonz No offense meant sambonz, but please, *please* don't run yourself into the ground on our account! I'd rather you head off for a while, get your energy back, and spend time doing other things, than for these Let's Plays--which you seem to be doing for fun--to become either a chore or a debilitating pastime. Either way, look out for yourself, we'll understand. o/

[sambonz]

@Treefyleaf thanks very much for the kindness - noted and appreciated =)

[dcuniverseonline32]

HEY HEY HEY disaterpiec1 dont tell him that he can take a day off after ep 198 i personally think his videos are the best series ive seen internet wise thank u very much

[cashflowm]

i love your videos man keep up the good work i love your dcuo let's play can i get a shoutout in your next video

[sambonz]

@cashflowm thanks! glad you're enjoying them =) and of course np re a shoutout. bear in mind these are filmed a couple of weeks in advance tho.

[adamtv13]

oh my i just found out its f2p and launched it on my ps3 cant wait to meet my inspiration in game!!(sambonz)

[sambonz]

@adamtv13 woot! i'll be making trips to the PS3 servers for sure - keep an eye out for details in the near future =)

[libertyfromny]

All that cash!!

Congrats

[sambonz]

@libertyfromny i know!! good lord - very generous. we'll put it to good use don't worry =)

[SlipknotFanize]

On PS3 the equivalent of the Escape button is Start.

[sambonz]

@SlipknotFanize ah - thanks =)

[SlipknotFanize]

@sambonz Your welcome :)

[outlawkelb]

hey sambonz do pvp xD

[sambonz]

@outlawkelb absolutely! actually Romanova and i covered off a few PVP episodes earlier in the series, but i definitely plan to do more with my fellow Superzeroes =)

[outlawkelb]

@sambonz awesome, have a nice break whenever you wish to go on it xD.

[sambonz]

@outlawkelb hehe thanks

[99babytaz]

u voice so sexy <3

[sambonz]

@99babytaz hehe aw shucks! *blush

[delvindiaz]

TAKE A BREAK FROM RECORDING :)

[99babytaz]

@delvindiaz hahahah accually made me lol

[Disasterpiec1]

u should REALLY take a few days off and just relax and regen. u need it every now and then. and no saying " i have to record and do the let's plays", i'm sure i speak for all of your viewers when i say, take a few days off, don't worry about videos, recording, working, just relax.... you'll feel 1000X better

[sushi7838]

@Disasterpiec1 If i could vote this comment, I would vote it 10,000 times. I tell him this all time. He just adds more work instead of taking breaks. I reckon if we can get like 50+ votes he might actually listen ;)

[Disasterpiec1]

@sushi7838 Sambo is always saying how he should upgrade from Vista, perfect excuse for a break. upgrade, take u'r time getting things set up the way u want then after a week off, start filming again.... BREAK TIME SAMBO :P

[sushi7838]

@Disasterpiec1 LOL someone should probably lock him away from his computer and we'll do his upgrade for him :P I can hear him screaming in his kiwi accent :P and crying like a girl. LOL

[BlooYed]

Hey Sambonz can you tell me if you go to the Store, if you go to the Glowing Steampunk stuff, if it is Just white? Because i bought it and it just looks crappy. Than You :D

[sambonz]

@BlooYed hrm that's weird - no it shouldn't just be white! it's like a phosphorescent aqua with dark highlights..

[BlooYed]

@sambonz Can you maybe show it in a Future episode? Because even at the Wikia theire is now Glowing Steampunk set at all.



[sambonz]

@BlooYed i don't actually have it at the moment sorry!

[TheRandomgamevidz]

I missed your US server recruitment : (

[MajikMan1977]

@TheRandomgamevidz Don't worry theres plenty in the League who can recruit you into it.

[sambonz]

@TheRandomgamevidz never mind - there'll be plenty more, plus any of the current Superzeroes can send you a League invite if you /shout when you're online =)

[MikeBoxMAD]

@yagoRIb i enjoyed it it took me a while to get used to the combat

[MikeBoxMAD]

i tried this game a while back and made a awesome villain ill have to try it again now that its f2p

@MikeBoxMAD Is it a good game? I downloaded it and it was slow and I had to download on my laptop and it still currently is.
