May 19, 2016 1 Comment

DC Universe Online officially launches GU60 today along with its 24th episode. In addition to bug fixes and tweaks for the Celestial powerset and the new booster bundle, GU60 includes the 2-man level 30 duo Harley’s Heist:

“The alarms at the Regal Hotel are going off again and it looks like Harley Quinn may be hankering for a heist! Huntress has a hunch that Harley Quinn and her criminal besties, Catwoman and Poison Ivy are behind it and is calling on all Heroes for backup. Meanwhile, Villains must lend a hand to Harley and her BFFs with their mischievous plans in the new 2-Player Duo, Harley’s Heist! Gain access to new feats, collections and gear! Free to access for Members!”
​

and 8-man raid Darkseid’s War Factory:

“Darkseid and his nefarious plans must be stopped once and for all. He has finally gathered enough Artifacts of the Old Gods to construct to reshape them into a machine that will allow him to access the all-powerful Source. With a direct line to the Source, Darkseid’s will could never be stopped. You must get there before he can release that divine power into the universe.”

Cryptic’s Jack Emmert now heads up DCUO at Daybreak Austin

June 8, 2016 67 Comments



Jack Emmert, known to MMORPG players chiefly for his role as co-founder of Cryptic Studios, has been appointed CEO of Daybreak’s — yes, that Daybreak — Austin studio, according to a press blast released today.




Formerly one of the minds behind Champions Online and classic City of Heroes, he will now oversee DC Universe Online.




The PR quotes Emmert as saying he’s proud of his work at Cryptic. “As a lifelong comic book fan, I’m thrilled to become part of the DCUO team and eager to engage and play alongside new communities of players. I look forward to being a part of the future of DCUO, as well as guiding our roster of new titles out of Daybreak Austin.”

Everytime I see something new for DCUO, I'm so tempted for a couple of minutes. Probably the only MMO I've ever liked and put any decent hours into (600+). Nature healing was my jam.

Everytime I touch a MMO or look at one, I instantly think how unfortunate it is you can't fly around the world at super speeds! lol or its not a megaserver or you don't have top notch voice acting or how great the customizability of your hereo is (especially in regards to keeping a look but actually wearing different armour).

DCUO teases GU61, Episode 25, and the Tides of War summer event

June 15, 2016 Leave a comment


DC Universe Online’s Episode 25 and GU61 are live on the test server this week. Episode 25 itself features a level 30 solo adventure in the Penguin’s Iceberg Lounge as well as a level 30 4-man operation called A Rip in Time, which is a freebie for subbers.
GU61, however, is pants.


Oh no, we read that wrong. GU61 has pants: “Awesome, 4th World-themed” that are rewards for even-numbered rounds of the fourth installment of the 8-man Orphanage survival mode in Survival: Happiness Home.


Daybreak is also kicking off a new summer seasonal event called Tides of War for level 10+ superheroes:

Episode 25 arrives in DC Universe Online today


June 29, 2016 Leave a comment


The Penguin is opening the Iceberg Lounge in Gotham City. That is… probably not a good thing, but it’s still legal. So of course, DC Universe Online players will have to contend with the arrival of Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman at the grand opening. There’s no way that’s going to end well, but you don’t have to take our word for it, as it’s the solo instance added in the game’s Episode 25 update.

Once you’ve handled that particular mess, you can scurry off to gather friends and then help Vixen try to solve the mysteries of Kahndaq in the new four-player Operation being added. The episode will be live today at 1:00 p.m. EDT for everyone, with members having free access to the content and non-members able to purchase it separately. It’s two separate messes for you to clean up, sure, but considering the whole game is about cleaning up one mess or another, players will probably be fine.

DCUO plans larger, slower releases, Suicide Squad map, and boosted characters

July 5, 2016 8 Comments

Daybreak has big plans for the development of DC Universe Online. Senior Community Relations Manager Ted Stone outlines what’s in store in a hefty dev post today.
For starters, beginning with Episode 27, DCUO will be shelving the monthly episode updates in favor of much larger content drops. “Large releases will allow us to eliminate some of the complexity surrounding monthly progression, ease some of that pressure you feel to get to and stay at the bleeding edge, and allow you to enjoy your achievements longer,” he writes. “That said, we will maintain some of the recent improvements, including multiple, varied storylines per Episode and Elite versions of content.” Episode 27 — Amazon Fury Part III — is therefore slated for late 2016 or early 2017.

DC Universe Online celebrates Wonder Woman with the Summer of Wonder

July 20, 2016 9 Comments


You also get seven and a half hours of doubled experience when you collect the emblem, so new players and veterans alike will derive a benefit from it. The game is also implementing open episodes for roughly one month, starting today, which is even more incentive to get in, get an emblem, and walk around smashing stuff.

All of this forms a central focus of the most recent producer’s letter from new producer Jack Emmert, but there’s more stuff on deck as well. A new Suicide Squad-themed PvP arena is planned along with Deadshot-based gear to coincide with the upcoming movie in August, and a new set of time capsules will be added to the game, with keys available from the in-game store or via gameplay.

DC Universe Online launches new duo and raid today in Episode 26

July 27, 2016 2 Comments

DC Universe Online’s 26th episode is live for all players today, playable by subbers and purchasable by everyone else in the market.

“Episode 26 features the ultimate caper with Harley Quinn as the girls head into Wayne Manor to kidnap Bruce Wayne. Plus, the fates of worlds hang in the balance as the Kryptonian storyline concludes in the bottle city of Kandor.”
​

The Wayne Manor Gala is a 2-player level 30 duo, while Kandor Central Tower is a level 30 8-man raid.


As announced earlier this month, DCUO will now begin transitioning away from monthly episodes in favor of larger but more spaced-apart content drops after this one. Consequently, the next episode, Amazon Fury III, is planned for late this year or early next year. Regular game content updates will continue in the meantime.

DC Universe Online’s GU63 brings new Suicide Squad content, tutorial skipping, and lockboxes

August 24, 2016 24 Comments



Game Update 63 has landed on the DC Universe Online servers this week, and it’s a smallish one, but that won’t surprise longtime players, who already know that Daybreak switched up its content release plans, choosing to push out larger episodes further apart beginning with episode 27.


Smaller patches continue on a more monthly basis, and that brings us back to GU63.


Expect bug fixes for multiplayer content, leveling changes for the early game, a new 2-man Suicide Squad-themed instance, a tutorial skipping option, and and option to skip to level 25.


“All lower level missions are removed from the player’s Journal, and they are set on the main story line for their level,” says Daybreak of the new option. “They will also be granted any seasonal even missions that are applicable at the time of purchase, among other applicable items.”


There are also new lockboxes, called time capsules:

I bought this game when it first came out before it became free to play and never could get it to work on my PC at home. Maybe I'll try downloading it on my PS4, tonight. Always loved the idea of being immersed in the DCU.

DC Universe Online is overhauling its stats completely

September 22, 2016 19 Comments

Stats are a big deal in MMOs. Those little numbers that we try to make go higher are a big part of what makes a new set of items desirable and what allows us to measure our performance.

So it’s pretty big news when DC Universe Online massively overhauls its stats, getting rid of several stats, changing how existing ones work, and otherwise upending the entire set of mechanical systems players have known for ages. But it’s all explained, slowly and carefully, so players can understand why the changes are coming and what the changes mean.

Combat rating differential? Gone; combat rating will still exist, but simply as a measure of your overall power level. Advanced mechanics and weapon mastery bonuses?

Also gone; these mechanics could be abused to bring DPS players to the point of doing such insane damage that everything had to be balanced around disproportionate damage outputs. Midrange? Gone entirely as part of the previous removal, since it mostly derived its power from advanced mechanics. Check out the full rundown to see what’s changing, or just listen to the walkthrough in the video below.

DC Universe Online reworks its early game and welcomes back the Witching Hour


September 29, 2016 5 Comments



It’s not yet October, but the Witching Hour has returned to plague DC Universe Online. There are minor changes to the Halloween event, including a “spookier Vault,” and players can once again earn special currency by performing daily missions.


The event is part of yesterday’s Game Update 64, which “cleaned up and simplified” much of the earlier sections of DCUO to make it smoother and more accessible to new players and altoholics.


Superheroes and villains can also tackle a new eight-player survival mode inside Oan Sciencells: “Queue up and see how long you can last against the unending waves! Fight for unique style rewards awarded only to those with the most dedication on the field of battle! Players can queue for Survival: Oa Sciencells from the Event tab if they meet the CR requirement.”
