SOE has plucked Oliver Queen from the mean streets of Star City and plunked him down in DC Universe Online's Legends PvP mode. That's right, you can now fight as Green Arrow and if you're keeping score at home, this release marks the first time a bow user has been made available for Legends play.

You can see Green Arrow in action via a recent SOE livestream that we've embedded past the cut.

​
The DC universe is a big one, and DC Universe Online has multiple storylines involving various heroes and villains playing out through its DLC trilogies. So far, however, only the first part of each trilogy has been available to play. But that's all about to change! Starting next week, players finally get to sink their teeth into the continuation of one when the second part of War of Light, which premiered earlier this year, finally releases. Members will be granted early access to War of Light Part II on November 11th while everyone else gets the DLC on the 18th (with the exception of European players who will get it on the 19th). But thanks to a tour with Creative Director Jens Andersen and Assistant Creative Director SJ Mueller, we didn't have to wait until next week to see what's in store. Continue Reading

Console popularity powers DC Universe Online past 18M registered players

(1 day ago)

​
Eighteen million sets of eyeballs on your MMO is no number to dismiss, and SOE is definitely glad that DC Universe Online is the subject of so much attention. The studio said yesterday that more than 18M players have registered with DCUO since its inception.

The real reason behind DCUO's phenomenal growth is thanks to the reception it's been getting on the PlayStation 3 and 4, as over three-fourths of the game's playerbase is on consoles. SOE President John Smedley said that 40% of new registered users are on the PlayStation 4 these days, and they have created almost 3M superheroes to date.

Even more interesting, it seems as though console players are willing to spend more on this free-to-play title than their PC counterparts. Smedley said that PlayStation sales per capita accounted for 3.5 times more than PC sales.

 
Purchased the game at launch, started playing again on PS4. Loving the changes
 
Game Update 43 Patch Notes

Patch notes highlight!

Legends PvE Events

Now players will finally be able to do more than just PvP as their favorite DC characters in DC Universe Online! Players can test their skills by creating unique teams of iconic Legends characters and taking on some of the most exciting instances in the game!

Legends PvE is made up of a series of ongoing events. Each month or so, we will have a new Legends PvE instance to play through in the Events tab of the On Duty menu. Players can queue up for the instance with any legends character they already have unlocked, unless they are restricted because they appear in the content.

We’ll also be running promos for certain legends characters during the events, which means, some of them may be temporarily available for players to try out – and this includes Legends PvP too!

The first event will feature the South Gotham Courthouse Alert. As we make more content for the game we will convert them into Legends PvE events as well, so look forward to seeing all your favorite alerts to make an appearance!

Players will be rewarded with Marks of Legend for defeating all the bosses and completing the instance – each boss will drop at least one Mark. Players will also be able to earn feat points by completing the achievements in the event itself. There are feats specific to each event, as well as general feats.

Role Optional buffs will be in effect for these events. They will function as they do in regular alerts, which require 3 out of four people to be in proximity with each other in order to take effect. Since Legends characters do not have roles, all four buffs will be granted when they activate. So stay together and learn how to use these helpful buffs to survive the challenges in each event.

Here’s the best news of all:

All of our existing Marketplace Legends characters will become un-lockable by Members in-game for Marks of Legend.

Members will now have the option whether to purchase these Legends on the Marketplace (claimable on all characters) or to unlock them with Marks of Legends (per character). This is a terrific addition to our already great package of member benefits. We’re very excited to see even more Circes, Wonder Women, Hal Jordans, Sinestros, etc running around in both Legends PvE and PvP. So, enjoy!

Look for Legends: PvE South Gotham Courthouse under the Events tab in the On Duty menu!

DC Universe Online : GU 43 Live Stream Preview

Posted Dec 10, 2014



DC Universe Online has been pumping out large and fun updates for a long time now, and that shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. The Legends PvP mode has been really popular among players – who wouldn’t want to play as the big, famous, iconic heroes and villains they know after all? By using that as the starting point, the latest update, GU 43, is aimed at expanding the Legends gameplay to include PvE.
Read more of David Jagneaux's DC Universe Online: GU 43 Live Stream Preview.
I was lucky enough to end a small press-only live stream showing off not only GU 43 and its features, but Legends PvE in action, as well as Deathstroke, the brand new Legends character that will be playable in both PvE and PvP legends modes. The live stream lasted about an hour and was ran by DCUO’s Senior Creative Director Jeans Anderson and Executive Producer Larry Liberty. it was a great preview for all that’s coming up soon.
dcuo_scr_GU43_LeagueHall_Underwater_01_t.jpg

Legends PvE Mode
The first thing they showed us was how the new Legends PvE mode will work. The team opened up the game with Deathstroke and explained that fans had been asking for a way to use Legends players in non PvP environments. As a gamer that prefers PvE personally, I can understand the frustration if, as a huge Batman fan for example, the only way I could actually play as the Caped Crusader is if I fought in a PvP Legends mode. This opens up a whole new range of opportunities for gameplay and adds even more diversity to an already extremely detailed and varied game.
Another one of the tenants of the Legends system that the team is trying to promote, as Liberty explained, is letting players “pick the Legends they want to play, rather than be forced.” All too often in other similar games, or certain parts of the storyline like the Iconic Visions and Origin storylines, it would force you into playing as a specific character, but that defeated a lot of the purpose. By being able to choose from a whole list of Legends characters, a lot of which can be earned through in-game currency, it opens up the mode tremendously.
dcuo_scr_GU43_LeagueHall_Underwater_02_t.jpg

Content will be on a 4-5 week, or roughly 1 month, rotation cycle. The first Legends PvE adventure will be a bit of a rehash with the “South Gotham Courthouse” but new events are expected to make their way into the rotation as early as Q1 2015. Free players will start out with access to either Robin as a hero, or Harley as a Villain. However, “Mark of Legends” currency can be used to purchase new Legends for use in either PvP or PvE.
And, it’s the same currency in both modes, so you don’t have to worry about earning marks in two different halves of the game (looking at you, Destiny). It shouldn’t really take too long to get new characters if you play relatively regularly, since you get about 5 marks per run and new characters can cost anywhere from 30-100 marks each. But you won’t be stuck playing as the same characters if you only want to try it out every now and then, because there will be special promotional opportunities as well – but there won’t be a ton to pick from, just enough to add variety.
dcuo_scr_GU43_LeagueHall_Underwater_03_t.jpg

Deathstroke Preview
After walking through the new Legends PvE mode, the team showed off what Deathstroke can do. Since DCUO is a class-based game with characters based entirely on their primary weapon, they had to get a little creative with how they portrayed Deathstroke’s versatility with different weapons. Instead of having the player swap between different weapons to use skills, Deathstroke is designed as a one-handed sword fighter with an acrobatic movement style. From there, he has different powers that activate and are animated to show other weapons and abilities.
For example, his basic attacks are with his one-handed sword. He also has an ability called Onslaught, which is a big leaping slash attack with his sword. But he also has a concussive grenade ability, as well as a Sniper Shot long-range attack that does bonus damage, and possibly even outright kill, enemies at below 35% health. His versatility and speed make him a very nice addition to the quickly growing roster of legends characters.
dcuo_scr_GU43_LegendsPvE_SGotCourt_01_t.jpg

One of the other big focuses that they showed off for Legends PvE are the different types of feats and achievements that you can unlock. These give you special recognition and awards for fulfilling different types of team-ups (such as Batman & Robin or Joker & Harley Quinn) as you play through Legends PvE areas.
GU 43 Features
The updates with GU 43 don’t stop there, though. There will be a good deal of updates in other areas of the game as well, such as the normal balance tweaks and adjustments, updates to different skills and abilities, new loot drops, and more. Some new league bases, like The Trench, which is underwater themed, will make a debut as well.
dcuo_scr_LegendsPvP-Deathstroke_03_t.jpg

One of the better updates is the change to arena reward rules. No longer can players simply login, stand at the entrance, and have the rest of the team carry them and get the same rewards. Now, it will require you to actually participate before you can qualify for some of the rewards. Sounds like a good change to me – pulling along others while you actually work to get through content is incredibly frustrating.
Final Thoughts
Overall, for just a free content update, GU 43 has a pretty great range of new content for players. Being forced to play in PvP just to try out the Legends mode to play as your favorite iconic hero or villain was unfortunate and didn’t apply to all players. The other minor updates from GU 43 aren’t as flashy as a new game mode or a new character, but they will go towards helping to make the game better overall.

Announcing Amazon Fury Part II!

Amazon Fury Part II - Letter from Spytle!

In Amazon Fury Part II, we see the next chapter in this story that is deeply tied to the events in Battle for Earth and Origin Crisis. Now, we realize there is a connection between the Greek Underworld and even Olympus itself. So much is at stake, and it will all rest on the shoulders of the players to help their iconic ally achieve victory. Will the Amazon Civil War rage on in the streets of Gotham City? Will Brainiac finally take control of the Nexus of Reality? Will we learn why Hippolyta is so hell bent on invading Gotham City? The answer to all of these is…YES!

DC Universe Online : Four Years and Going Strong

Posted Jan 16, 2015


Sony Online Entertainment’s DC Universe Online launched with a simple premise: allow players to create their own superheroes, with unique power sets, and romp around in iconic locations and alongside beloved characters from the DC universe. Four years later, it’s still building on its solid launch, having already released twelve official updates and with much more on the way. DCUO has seen additions to skills and content, feature updates, bug fixes, new stories, and a bunch more. In celebration of its fourth anniversary this week, we’re taking a look at how far the game has come with each of its updates, and where it’s headed next!

Fight for the Light

Som-Jan16-6.jpg

Origin Crisis
