Knowing the elements of DCUO

Any elements of Universe this game - In lessons.

First Lesson - Reaper is not HW.

Paradox Reaper
Bounty for players that have Central City (Only with DLC)

Fundamental difference between heatwave for Paradox Reaper. I was confused in the first. Heat means 'warm', then i thought that HW was Paradox Reaper (see picture). But it's not, HW (HeatWave) is a bounty that have appearance human and bring a beg in back. Generally he is near of Kane Building in Diamond Heist.

And Paradox Reaper are in all places. Your main mark is a huge gap made red light. First Lesson today that i learned.

Second lesson - Exobits result in Exobytes for Evolution.


Exobits - Fortified, Support and Aggressive (Blue, yellow and red respectively)

This itens called Exobits are similar at bits (term of computation) it's means that each 8 bits have 1 byte. In game is even thing - Eight exobits result in one exobyte. And such i can add more advantage in my skills like Power, health, might and others.

Each color represents an skill. For example Fortified (blue) is for defense - dominance. For Aggressive (red) is for might or power. I never tested the yellow, therefore i don't know what it serves. I will go to discovery in next play.

For using this exobits, is need to find research and development center located. Any police departaments - in Watchtower. This R&D provide functions for to transform exobits in exobytes or salvage of objects. Is need to buy or to discovery plans. This plans are essential for transformation, without it you can't to make exobytes.

Generally you don't need to find initially plans, because the first contact this news - you receives any plans. After if you to want is need to find or to win of Bosses and enemies in DCUO. I still learning about this R&D and the plans. 

Alert! Only players with level equal at 10 or upper. (For use exobytes)

Third Lesson - Sub Avatar (Try get Tier before of time)

Gotham City - Location of Sub Avatar.

This bounty - i can't my account is free. Therefore i can't receives of him any item like tier. I try together with other player (that have account legendary) - "Only DLC" - i need to buy. I receives - but i can't use it. That shame. Not was easy to fight with sub avatar, my level here is 22. One hit to kill.

But stay the alert. Only premium or legendary.

Fourth lesson - Where will I be born? (Heroes spawn)

Heroes Spawn - Blue Force field 

For enemies change color to red. I don't know for serves there computer. But if you will die, you born there. Or is not have Game Over. But you can to lose an battle or the bounty (Like Nepheritos - in Gotham University).

Have various this spot by all city. 

Alert! Red force field is enemies and blue force field is ally. In Red force field you don't to enter.

Maintenance daily (By one houre - always at 10:00 a.m)



All days at 10.00 a.m the server shutdow for maintenance. But the system alert before. In chat - "The system will go shutdown in 30 minutes" and go counting till turn off. Each ten minutes - ten seconds. And then the system is back at 11:00 a.m.

Rares times the game freeze and these process guarantee that continues such.

Begin

My journey (and any other stuffs)


RAID in Regal Hotel
Thor TNG (back) and Malisha S.




I started in DCUO (DC Universe Online) this April. And I realizedthat there are several 'mini' worlds and societies within thisMMORPG.

Inside there are many, if not thousands of combinations of classesand powers. It was my first day, but participated in a raid inside theRegal Hotel (far as I know Raid consists of 8 players), however in the hotel was only possible 4. Appears to play a limitation.

But I think the RAID in the open allows eight players. What many in the beginning as I can conclude is - Why have eight players in aRAID, if we can invite players to play next?

RAID is like a group of four players who allows 8. All items shareexperiences and gain a kind of trading among colleagues. There are three options - I need, greed and pass.

In the first option, we ask that we want that item, but we expect someone else to pick you dispense it. Greed is when we pick upthe item, without the famous question - "Who wants to?" andrelease the third item. This combined with that need - just allows the exchange of all items.


Features of Characters (Roles, powers, class and key-character)


Catwomen and Malisha S. (First Suit)
Gotham City




I also discovered that each player can choose a character class(Hero or Villain) and select powers (fire, ice, gadgets, nature, magic, mental powers and light).

Each of these power allows the choice of paper. This paper can bea character of damage (DPS), a healer, a controller and a characterresistant (Tank).

The combinations allow players to be key in battle, and it pays a lot.I've noticed that my setup - Tank - Fire is essential for heavy fighting.The little I played, I also noticed that I can heal myself. And that has made me think I'm more a kind of DPS Healer.

I'm still with a brief 'gambling', still do not know about many things.And I'm still on 5% of everything that this virtual world offers.


Choose path (Mentors, unique maps and enemeis)


Crime Alley
Where parents of Bruce Wayne was murdered
Gotham City




Mentors are another option in the game that lets you interact with other non-player characters of the DC Universe (Detective Comics).

Each mentor gives the player a semi-restricted access to their ownlocalities. I quoted semi-restricted, because we can allow the entry of other players with other mentors through groups and raids. Whenwe add them a kind of VIP card.

The mentor chosen is Batman. Who could understand my enemies are the Joker, Harley Quinn, TO Morrow. But an enemy is common to all - Braniac. There are several robots scattered in every cityexcept the foundations. How Watchtower, and from what I know, theHall of Doom who chose the villains.



Gain Skill Points (Level, skill, up powers and feats)


I forget name.




Another point that I noticed are the feats. They also give us level up,skill points in skills for allocating powers, each with characteristicpower and he chose arms. The weapons give a hint that it seems every one of them increases his powers. How to cure a critical hit.

I learned that after level 30, the maximum. We do not earn more skill points through it. And yes these feats. And getting those icons blue, green, yellow and completandos some specific tasks, we can gainfeats and thus unlock new abilities.

As it appears that we are accumulating 100 points, each feat on average results in 10 points, some 25 points. I found theseinteresting side quests, so do not get stuck to the main story pointsis sometimes insurmountable.
