We're in another "Ultimate Recruitment" event in DC Universe Online. While I was never motivated enough to bring in another alt, it is is interesting to see how strong they could be now before the first mission on Brainiac's ship even starts. For context, I have a 14 year old account that was Legendary for a good 13 of the 14 years. In this article, I'll limit it to just things we can do for FREE (or already purchased on the account): Marketplace:  You can redeem all of the account bound items, things that are redeemable on every character. This will certainly get you some if not all of the style counter feats (100 being the final). You may even get feats from Legends you purchased. I think the only thing you can't redeem yet are the base themes. Event Reclaim: This is the newest and most SP loaded item. Go through each category carefully and reclaim all. Each one gives 1 SP and most will make you more powerful. You can have elite backup and elite orbital to...

Celestial Eyes is a 1924 painting by Francis Cugat, but most known for being the original cover art for Francis Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby . The image is a combination of 2 references in the novel: The billboard of Dr. Eckleburg watching over the Valley of Ashes and Daisy Buchanan. For more information, see: Celestial Eyes The Great Gatsby   The image of Lyssa Drak watching over The Book of the Black in DC Universe Online's Raging Night episode looks striking similar to Celestial Eyes, especially since Lyssa has bluish skin and yellow eyes. One has to wonder if it was inspired by it. Here's a version I merged with Gotham Amusement Mile so that it looks similar to Coney Island at the bottom of the original...

Happy 15th Anniversary! The 16th year starts off with a pretty big bang with the addition of a 2nd row of loadouts. The sudden addition increases our characters' power levels considerably once ironed out and used right, but can be quite overwhelming at first. Hopefully this article give you some direction in how to set up your loadouts. I will keep it as general as possible so that it can apply to all power sets. From Patch Notes: New Additional Ability Tray The Additional Ability Tray is a major quality-of-life and combat flexibility upgrade that significantly expands how players build and use their loadouts. This new system introduces a second, fully functional ability tray, giving players more room to adapt, specialize, and react during combat. With the Additional Ability Tray, players gain access to a second full set of abilities that can be configured independently from their primary tray. While only one tray is active at a time, players can instantly swap between trays with ...

You worked 4 campaigns across the year and we're now finally at the end. The choices for reward are all big ticket items, so you will want to think hard and weigh out very possible reason. You will also want to think and anticipate future releases. In this article, I will analyze my 3 accounts and why I made the choice for each one as they are not exactly the same. RE: Shaded Comic Shaded Comic is the only reward choice that does not affect progression in the game. It is purely cosmetic but ultra rare. Based on RNG it is also the only one above $100 value. I favor progression and I will be weighing out factors related to progression and strengthening the characters on each account. For this reason, none of my accounts will choose this option. Additionally, Shaded Comic is a very nice material, but it has 1 imperfection that bothers me... there is no skin to match it. The material gives the character a pseudo cel-shaded texture, but it doesn't look right on the style of skin. It...
