DC Universe Online : The Bombshells Are Coming!

Posted Jul 15, 2015


DC Universe Online continues to be one of Daybreak Games’ most successful titles, with a host of players specifically on the PS3 and PS4 versions. Later this summer, Episode 15 is bringing one of the comics’ new favorites, The Bombshells, into the game with “The Bombshells Paradox”. Read on for more details.
Read more of Bill Murphy's DC Universe Online: The Bombshells are Coming.

And in Episode 16, also due this summer (August to be exact for both episodes), the focus shifts to the Black Lanterns with Corrupted Zamaron. Read on for more details.

​

For the uninitiated, The Bombshells is a new series to the DC Comics print that focuses entirely on an alternate universe for the DC heroines. The style is akin to the 1950s pinups, and takes place in an alternate universe timeline of World War 2. How do the Bombshells end up in DCUO? Time travel and universe hopping of course! Bombshell Talia al Ghul creates a tear in reality and players must work with the Bombshells to stop The Lady al Ghul and set the universe back on its correct path.

Bombshell versions of Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul all feature prominently in the cast of characters for this episode, a first for the game and also serves as the first videogame appearance of the Bombshells anywhere. Jens Andersen told us that they’ve come closer and closer with DC Comics so that we can expect lots of more timely cooperation with the comics division so that the game and the print media align better moving forward. The Bombshells are just the beginning.
Aside from marking the beginning of the League of Assassins narrative in DCUO, Episode 15 also brings a new environment – a Russian Gulag turned secret munitions factory. There’s also a whole new eight-person Operation with the episode, which is where players fight back against Talia and correct time and space.
Episode 16, also due in August, brings out the Black Lanterns. Featuring a brand new Duo instance, Indigo-1 of the Indigo Tribe (see Wikipedia for info), players will help Carol Ferris defend Zamaron from the Black Lanterns and will purge their corruption from the Central Power Battery. This will be the first appearance of the Black Lanterns and the Indigo Tribe, as well as an appearance of the Corrupted Hawkgirl from the comics. Episode 16 is a continuation of the War of the Light storyline, which began years ago in DCUO’s earlier DLC.

Of course, Legendary members will get the episodes for free, while free players will be able to buy them a la carte. This is part of DCUO’s new initiative of piece-mealing out the DLC as opposed to holding them all back for big $10 packages. Want a power, but don’t care or need the new story missions? That’s why they’re breaking them into chunks. New missions and story-based stuff will come in Episodes, while powers, weapons, and costumes and the like will come separately. All for reduced prices from the original $10 packages players were used to.
Stay tuned to MMORPG.com for more details when Episode 15 and 16 land on all systems this August.

DC Universe Online : First Episode 16 Details Uncovered

Posted Aug 13, 2015



The DC Universe Online site has been updated with a new letter from Jens Andersen that reveals the first features from next month's latest DLC, Episode 16. Players can look forward to a new solo mission called Oa Under Siege, a new four player Alert and Elite Alert called Desecrated Cathedral, new gear and more. Andersen promises more information will be revealed soon, some live stream events to see the new content and more prior to the September release of Episode 16.

Oa Under Siege (Solo Mission)
The War of the Light continues, and Black Lanterns are now appearing on Oa. Ion will be corrupted, and in order to save Ion and Hal Jordan, a new member of the Indigo Tribe will emerge. Munk, Indigo-1’s second in command, will make his debut in DCUO. This mission is very fun and will take players from the Metropolis Battlezone to Oa as Black Lanterns make their way to Earth.

XB1 port? Isn't this game done by SOE? Theres never gonna be an Xbox port.

 

[zenith16]

XB1 port? Isn't this game done by SOE? Theres never gonna be an Xbox port.

Soe doesn't exist any more man. there are two threads (this one and one Xtremely baneful made )stating that Sony got ride of SOE so they can still have their cell phone division. Which was one of their major blunders.

It's a page over at the bottom of page 5.

it's as havok say's columbus nova own Day break studio's ether way thos two are the publisher from the games industry.

But I think WB still own shares and tell the dev's what they are allowed to put in content wise, cause they were always doing so according to creative director Jens. what they say goes.

Supergirl gets an updated look in DC Universe Online

October 23, 2015 Eliot Lefebvre 18 Comments


October 26th is the premiere date for the new Supergirl television series on CBS. That’s good news for fans of Kara Zor-El, definitely, but what about her fans in DC Universe Online? Unlike other games, this renewed focus on the character can’t just be added into the game via an unlockable skin… or can it?
Apparently it totally can. All of Supergirl’s appearances in the core game have been replaced with her new look for a limited time, and members can unlock her new appearance permanently for use in Legend content with 100 Marks of Legend. If you’re particularly fond of Supergirl and were hoping to see her new duds in the game proper, your hope has been answered.

DC Universe Online : Tinkering with Unwanted Gear - R&D Gear System Announced

Posted Oct 29, 2015

The DC Universe Online site has been updated with a first look at a new system that will be coming to the game:

R&D Gear. Essentially, the R&D Gear System is an expansion of the existing R&D feature and gives players the opportunity to salvage unwanted gear and to use components gained to enhance gear via R&D Plans.

The R&D Gear System expands the existing R&D and salvage systems to offer a new, complementary progression path to the same rare gear found in large group content. The system does not replace playing content for drops - playing content for dropped gear remains the primary means to progress beyond vendor gear - but it does add an alternative, slower, and guaranteed path to rare gear for those losing the battle with randomness.

With the R&D Gear System, every drop matters - every drop is progress - and you are no longer fully at the mercy of random luck. In time, if you have not found the gear you want, you have the power to build it yourself.
​

Read more about the R&D Gear System, including an explanation about why this is incoming and a short FAQ, on the DC Universe Online forum.

Launching November 4: Episode 18, Atomic, Game Update 54, Cross Faction PvE, and R&D Gear System!

 

[Havok83]

Ive had this on my PS4 since launch and always say Im going to try and get into it. Ill put it on but then get turned turned off by the god awful controls. Despite my initial reservations, I actually found myself prefering the simplistic point and click approach of Marvel Heroes. Im also not a fan of the DCUO UI. The text is small and alot about it just seems overly complicated. I havent brought myself to actually delete it though
