  • For many, World Of Warcraft was a dream come true. A fantastical, expansive, ever changing universe full of boundless fortune and twists of fate. The need to band together with friends and strangers alike in order to take down massive enemies instilled a strong sense of community. I heard all of these stories for years, and I was interested... But when it came down to it, it just wasn't for me. Insert DC Universe Online, an MMO set in the streets of Gotham City, in the heights of Metropolis. Choose your side: do you want to wreak havoc with the likes of Lex Luthor and the Joker? Or will you fight for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow alongside Superman and Wonder Woman? DC Universe Online has been up and running for over a decade, and there are no signs of stopping anytime soon. This is DC Universe Online: 11 Years Later.

      It really is the only problem today overall because all the problems people have now fall into this one section she the game is old as FUCK for an MMORPG the engine needs a complete overhaul not to mention the graphic and design difference in the newer dlc are really jarring it’s almost like you turned on a completely different game from the base game I’d love to see a dcuo 2 but the developers said they are making a marvel version of dcuo basically so we won’t see dcuo 2 (which they have expressed interest in making) until after that marvel MMORPG my personal biggest issue?

    Good lord so many memories of playing this one back when it was released on PS3. It was the first time I ever jumped into an MMO and it was awesome!

    Now, I've never been into World of Warcraft or anything like that, but listening to someone talk about their passions will always get me to watch, but mix that with how you bring everyone into your stuff... Fucking enthralling, mate.
    You have a gift man, and you're living it.

    I believe the longest break I had taken from DCUO had been a six month period. The community and the game are what you put into it. Some good and some bad. A fair few of the friends I met in 2011 are still people I am friends with today and play other games along with them.
    While this game does miss the aspects of adventuring, hidden quests, and things that make it similar to larger scale MMOs. It still has its fair share of Easter Eggs, lore, and new comic minutia to keep you coming back.
    I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it and I looking forward to fighting alongside or against you!

I'm in a league but I really just joined cause I got invited. Playing with friends and others is something I love in games and it is the reason I have been playing the game more often. This video showed me the game has a lot more to offer. ( I feel like making new character now :0 ).

    I had a similar trajectory on this game to you. I remember when it was announced and I was hyped for it. Then I found out that it was an always online MMO and I wouldn't be able to play it because I lived at home with my dad, we didn't have the internet back then and he paid all the bills, and there was NO WAY he was paying extra per month just so I could sit at home and play computer games online lol.
    So I didn't start playing it till it I had my own place with internet, and the game had been out for a couple of years at that point. For the first couple of years, I played it like you. Like a single player game. I'd play the story missions, get to level 30, use what little currency I had to buy some stronger gear to bump me up to level 42-ish, and think I was a total badass (until I also got one-shotted by Bizarro). I never did raids or anything like that and I honestly didn't really have a clue what I was doing, but it was still fun creating new characters, flying around beating up goons!
    Then I decided to try and take it a bit more seriously. I bought a 1-month subscription, started up a new 'Supergirl' themed character and I basically told myself - "either I learn how to play this game 'properly' within this month, or this game probably isn't for me".
    7 years later I'm still subscribed.
    It got under my skin and it became a part of my life. That Supergirl character (my main character...out of 20...), is currently level 376 and powerful as all hell. I've grown more attached to her than any other character in any other game I've played, ever, because she's *my* Supergirl. Not the Supergirl from Injustice 2 or any other games, she's mine, and I never get bored of playing as her.
    I truly do love the game. It may have dated graphics, and it can get a bit dull when you're at the level I'm at, but there's still a lot to love about the game.
    For veterans like me it can get a bit stale from time to time, but if you're new to it, there's SO MUCH content to explore, endless customisation to experiment with, and they keep adding more and more stuff!

At that time the constant updates, that felt like it took forever, was painful, so I stopped playing. I went back and forth for awhile but didn't get back into until recently. All the new stuff blew me away and got me excited in the game again. In fact I decided to buy a member ship and start all over. Have not stopped playing since.

But once our free trial period ended and we had to cough up money for a monthly subscription, everyone bailed on the game and so did I. Even when it went free to play, I couldn't get anyone back on :( I still pop in every once in a while on Xbox Series X and PC.

But I was amazed the game was still going strong so I continued with my old character and got him up to the highest combat rating. I recently quit the game again 3 weeks ago. I said only for the summer (again) but that’s also what I said in 2015. If this break turns into another 5 years I hope DCUO is still going strong. This is truly the only MMO I ever been loyal too 🙏🏽

    Am in the same boat as you brotha, I hear multi-player and am out lol never was a fan of WoW either and is not cause these games are bad? Its just that am not good at them and prefer single player experiences. However, I did try this game like 2 years ago and was too overwhelmed at the time to even give it a proper go so maybe I'll check it out again now? I mean, why wouldn't I want to have super powers and fight all the awesome enemies DC Comics have to offer? Who knows, maybe we'll run into each other and take down some bad boys in an epic fight to save the world!? Loved this retrospective man! Much love brotha!

    When I played WoW in '09 I played with friends so I was focused on getting to max level and playing "the right way" so I could participate, and I hated just about every second of it. I wanted to explore the worlds with my druid at my own pace but the multiplayer pressure soured it for me.
    Played again earlier this year with the intent of forcing myself to play without any of those external pressures, and had an absolute blast. Coming into it as a writer made me think, what if the characters I put in the world were able to interact with each other, or somehow aware they had this shared experience of being played by me? That level of immersion is unbeatable despite not involving another player at all!

    I played DCUO for almost 10 years with only a few breaks. I stopped playing over a year ago and although this video brings back good memories, I'm still not in the mood to return to it. I mean 10 years! It's a very long time playing one game. Plus I know I would have to re-learn everything again because I know the game has changed a lot (again) during the last 2 years.

      @amara7025 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh and btw, this video (which is great) basically only covers the tutorial part really. Leveling up to level 30 is just to show you the basics of the game. After that the real game begins, with all the 43 episodes, where you need to always get better equipment to raise your CR and perform an infinite amout (not infinite of course but lots) of Feats to earn Skill Points. This is where the heart of the game is.

    i have a Yellow Lantern named CMDrunk, soooo....
    i played for years, splitting my time between a Y.L. Control (my chain combos got SICK), and an ice tank.
    the thing about MMOs is understanding the role your class plays in a group. DCUO was pretty simple with a 4 person group:
    1. tank: keeps enemies focused on them, speced to absorb damage and taunt enemies to them
    2. control: keeps enemies stunned/feared/rooted/etc, particularly added minions during boss fights
    3. DPS: pure damage output on focused enemies, such as burning down adds
    4. healer: self-explanatory. (if the group fails, it is always the healers fault, no matter how many times they tell you not to stand in the acid pool)
    never got into raiding too much, just because trying to keep 40 gamers on the same page takes far more patience than i have.
    also, you forgot to mention the fun that is Legends Battles. PvP, but you pick from a roster of Heroes and Villains. the #1 reason to get a subscription is that you get 1 free Legends character per month to unlock, and it is fun as hell to wreck a bad Superman player as Zod

    This was my game in college. Played it every day on my PS3. I had to update the game overnight because the Internet at my apartment complex was so terrible.
    My first character was a magical, gunslinging healer. Healing felt good, and because of that, I was good at it. I didn't think I would enjoy playing the Healer role before playing DCUO.
    I hope I have time in the not so distant future to get back into this game, this time in a PS4.
    I did hear there was some backlash from the community against the devs, but now I'm hearing good things about the game, so maybe most of it was smoothed out and improved.

    I'm still a huge fan of this game and walked away from it two or three times... but it's just too good to stay away. Many of the newer episodes are based on more current comics stories, several heroes get reskinned to keep their looks mostly up to date, they've added several new power sets, and it blows my mind it's still going. In the early days some friends of mine agreed to go in and create a team before you're able to officially in the game. We were based on groups like the Green Lantern Corps but all had a very basic red/white/gold costume and we used the fire powers. We were the Sunturions and for a few months back around 2012 it was one of the most fun times I've EVER had in a video game. It's worth getting the membership, then you get all the new powers, more character slots, etc.
