Game Update 59

Loot Choice UI Available In All Tiers!

 

We have extended our Loot Choice UI to the earlier tiers of DCUO! Now all solos, duos, alerts and raids available in the On Duty menu have this feature added. This gives players the opportunity to choose what loot they receive from bosses. Upon defeating a boss, the player will be presented with a new UI that allows them to choose from a list of available loot. After the main choice has been made, the UI will then display all items received from the KO.

Tutorial Updates!

 

With Game Update 59, we have made adjustments to the tutorial instance at the start of the game. Important messaging has been updated to be clearer and more instructional for the player. A full list of improvements and updates are included in the full public notes.

I love that they're keeping the game alive with new content after all these years. Any news on when we'll get the water powers? I'm waiting for that before I jump back into the game.

Totally agree with you, this game deserves it. I wonder if we will get a big update when the XB1/Mac release comes out?

Awesome. I remember seeing something about it possibly coming out with the Xbone release of the game, in one big update. I'm looking forward to it, along with cross play, and the 4th color palette. Should be a big year for DCUO.

Cross Play Now Available Between PS3, PS4, and PC!

DCUO players on PC and PS now play together with cross play! When you log in today, you will seamlessly be playing with players on the opposite platform, including in groups, in leagues, in On Duty content, and in the open world. We hope you will enjoy the new faces you'll meet, and the freedom to play with virtually anyone or everyone else (in your region) who plays DCUO.

In the spirit of togetherness such an occasion calls for, several players are planning a cross play meet up in the Metropolis PvE phase this Friday night. Join us in-game during the DCUO SourceCast and get to know some new friends. We'll be there! Click here for more information.

 

I didn't catch this. Apparently this has been active since episode 21.
