Does respec cost reset to 500 as you level, or as you respec? Because I'ved done respecs a lot with Doc, and after the 1150 cost the next one was 500 again.

I can't confirm, but I heard it costs more when you respec repeatedly in one day. It resets to 500 the next day.

So, what do you guys do to get rid of the money before it goes into scrow?
The general advice is to buy costume and hair styles, but now that I got most of the ones I like from the character creation vendors, I'm buying soda. Apart from the obvious use, you can sell them back for a good price if you need money later.

I just respec. I guess my lower upper class lifestyle makes me susceptible to the escrow withdrawal items they sell (haven't gotten one yet).
There really isn't anything to use the in-game money on in this game, and you can get 2000 dorraa in 1-2 hours of playing Alerts. It's not like in Champions where in-game costs for respeccing are crazy, and the Auction House is full of rare items and costume pieces.

The restrictions in this game are p. retarded. As a premium character you have +500 on the money cap. Oooh.

Basically, that's what I do. I try to drop my cash to zero and just bank in dozens of high level sodas as 'liquid cash' Sometimes it's not practical though...but really, money's close to worthless. Premium isn't really that much of a cost. I wasn't surprised it only gave you unlocked powers etc...and additional char slot for a one time pay of $5. It was really a small entry fee. Just to sell the Green Lantern DLC.
Farkov is now level 27.
Maybe I'll reset powers later..now buying Green Lantern power set to unlock more character slots.

By the way, there's also a skin vendor, but he isn't in the hall of doom. Here's its location for villains: http://sadpanda.us/images/741925-74EIZVK.jpg

Alright bros, I've got Legendary access now. Before Codex Movie Night, I'll set up the chat channel for us, it'll be:
Channel: codexia
Password (if available): livelongandprosper
First let's see if both villains and heroes can join it. If not, I'll create a second channel for villains.
So let's think of us some cool League names, shall we? I was thinking that for villains we could be Secret Society of _______ (ie, Secret Society of Stereotypical Villains).

Reached level 30.
I must say, Champions kicks this game's ass in pretty much every category. Even the combat in DCUO is worse when you're reaching the later parts of the game, when the restrictive nature of the character system starts to show.
Also, the way they've done gearing in this as end game content is a load of shit. Champions had the right idea with making gearing something you can do within a week of one hour per day basis. Not to mention gearing in Champions is optional if you don't duel or solo team content!

Yeah but Champions isn't free with freeform so NYANYA

Then again, DCUO is only worth 10 dorra, because there's nothing worth putting money in for. 
I ain't gonna quit the game though. Just warning bros that while leveling up is pleasant all, the gearing part will make it all the worse. I'm talking about doing the same Alert (Arkham Asylum, since it seems to queue up the quickest and gives 6 tokens) 6+ times to get ONE piece of Triumph gear, which is just step one in the gearing process.
The second MIGHT be faster, depending entirely on the amount of time Raids take (4+ Raids a piece), but keep in mind that before you can even dream about participating there you're expected to have full T1 item set (= ~60 Alerts).
As for T3, fogettabaatit. Apparently it takes on average six weeks to get even one piece.
And of course, the stat differences between tiers are astronomical. In CO things are way better because you don't have to grind months for bullshit items to be able to be competetive. You either do Nemesis missions for a week or two or pop in a Token Booster and be done in less than a week, and you get top of the line gear.
Basically, this is the kind of bullshit I'm proud to say Champions is free of.

Meh. I don't care about endgame of any game unless it's world PVP with objectives and shit.
I couldn't care less about the tiered gear. I just want to level up some new heroes and villains and see the how each power and skill combo differs. Which CO F2P doesn't give me the opportunity to.

I'm starting to get more than a creeping suspicion that NOBODY has ever properly playtested this game. I've already encountered TWO alerts that were fucked up when it came to balancing, one literally impossible to beat with the appointed level (Watchtower Containment). Similarly, Stryker's Island solo zone is anything but solo. Actually, I don't think they even have a player test server.
Not to mention the actual power sets themselves are very unbalanced when it comes to their roles. Nature is overwhelmingly good as a healer for example, and Ice is far superior to Fire for tanking.
Overall, more bullshit I don't have to deal with in Champions.

Yeah, this game is kinda poorly designed. The sorcery pets on the summoning tree are so useless I don't even know why they exist...
Also those fucking vague descriptions that don't mention cooldown, charging time, range, radius, etc.

Yea, I really hate how I can't actually see what the fuck the powers really do. Not even the wiki shows that. It just lists the same vague description as the game.
Not to mention there are several powers that literally do nothing. Ice Weapons for example does only jack for effect and a shit FX (that doesn't even show up 90% of the time).
Similarly, the inability to see your buffs or total amount of health and power is fucking annoying.
Also, whoever the retard was who thought it was a brilliant idea to have a separate defensive stat for PvP and PvE needs to be hanged from his balls. It's worse than Oblivion mechanics ffs.
