DCUO: Metal I, Galaxy Brain Feat

Image
  I thought I'd make an article for this old Metal I feat since it's easy to forget after not doing it for years. This is the solo feat for arranging the panels that unlock the Rogues Exhibit . Click the cog to start the game Click to move the Sound panel away from Fire Click either Ice or Clouds and swap them The only requirement is to not have Sound and Fire touch after 2 moves. So if you achieve it on the first move, the second move is arbitrary as long as you don't move Sound again.

DCUO: Wolf Pack Token

Image
  Step-by-Step 1) Buy the Wolf Pack token from the Marketplace. You can do this on any character as it will appear as a currency across the account. 2) Log on the the character that holds the Level 200 artifact that you want to replicate to all other characters. 3) Go to Constantine in the House of Legends and buy the Wolfpack version of the artifact that you want to replicate. Only the ones at 200 will be available to buy (the others appear in red), so that safeguard is there at least. This will use up the account wide 1 Wolfpack currency. 4) Unequip and unprotect the manually built artifact. Feed that into the level 0 Wolfpack version. This does not use any catalysts or other components. 5) Once you do that, a ticket will appear in your base dispenser. Redeem that and then the Level 200 Wolfpack version will appear in the base dispenser for every character on the account.  Applications While this is a very costly item, even on sale, you now have a fully leveled artifact for use on e

DCUO: Overrun Area 51 Cutscene

Image
  Overrun Area 51 from Episode 46: Brainiac Returns is one of the most efficient modern duos. The elite version is also a nice gift for farming renown quickly. But... for altaholics, things can always get faster! You can save a little over 30 seconds each run if you take out the adds before the second boss in order, roughly from right to left (relative to how you're facing when you arrive). Group A The 3 mobs closest to you on the ground have to go first. Be careful that you don't get knocked into aggro'ing the ones to the far left (Group C) and also don't fly too high and aggro the ones on the level above. The earth and tornado powered ones can knock you up and far quite a bit! Group B For the two mobs on the 2nd level, you'll want to take out the one guarding the door (that opens for the boss room) first. Then move along the catwalk and get the other one. While doing this, you can lob a shot down to Group C so that they take the stairs up to you. Group C The mob

DCUO: Tantu Totem

Image
The Tantu Totem is a DPS artifact inspired by Vixen's necklace of the same name. I tried to give it a go on the live server, first at the entry level of 80 (when the base abilities unlock). Then I moved it up to 120 because nothing was triggering. With it being one of the "stacking" type artifacts, it really wasn't going to be testable until 200. Here's a screenshot of the artifact at Level 0, so you can see why it almost never triggers a the entry "on" level... So the safe thing to do was max it on the test server first!  Overview & Sparring Target Test Instance Run Is it worth leveling on the live server? Is it worth using a Wolfpack Token for the account?

DCUO: The Wing Armor Problem

Image
3 Body Problem Parody History At launch, there were 3 objective types for the Wing Armor daily mission: Standalone Wing Armor = 1pt Standalone Vine = 1pt Combo with a Wing Armor and Vine with Cog = 3pts After 3 days, the devs found performance issues affecting the open world rooted to the combo unit above, so they removed it. In doing so, this inadvertently broke the Wing Armor spawns altogether, leaving just the vines at a long enough interval that the daily was not worth the time spent for the 1 mark. Meme Bonus Week Shortly after that, they increased the spawn rate of the vines to 40s (this will be important for the tips I go over). They also tried various fixes to return the Wing Armors, including increasing the spawn rate (twice), creating more nodes, making them 2pts and grounding them... none of those fixes have worked. July 1 Patch: Since nothing else has worked, the devs updated the mission to 8pts total instead of the launch 20pts. This does make the mission more than 2x fast

DCUO Episode List with Dates

Image
I couldn't find a handy list of DC Universe Online episodes along with the release dates all in one place, so I did some batch processing from the official list to get the episode number and title in their own columns. The dates were manually entered based on the T-shirt below, which was missing the years, probably for design/space reasons. Episode List Episode 1: Fight for The Light (9/6/2011) Episode 2: Lightning Strikes (12/6/2011) Episode 3: The Battle for Earth (3/13/2012) Episode 4: The Last Laugh (6/19/2012) Episode 5: Hand of Fate (8/14/2012) Episode 6: Home Turf (1/29/2013) Episode 7: Origin Crisis (5/8/2013) Episode 8: Sons of Trigon (9/3/2013) Episode 9: War of The Light Part I (1/22/2014) Episode 10: Amazon Fury Part I (5/6/2014) Episode 11: Halls of Power Part I (8/6/2014) Episode 12: War of The Light Part II (11/18/2014) Episode 13: Amazon Fury Part II (2/12/2015) Episode 14: Halls of Power Part II (5/19/2015) Episode 15: Bombshells Paradox & Corrupted Zamaron (8/
