DCUO: Copying Settings

Image
Alyssa's Batmobile It seems like a little thing, but it is a bit of a hassle to have to sync all of your DCUO settings to a new computer. But you can easily copy them over by following these steps: 1) First, go to the following location with your old system or the one that already has DCUO installed:  C:\Users\$USERNAME\Documents\DCUO Save Data\ 2) Display details and copy the directory with the most recent date (it will be a long string of capital letters and numbers) to a flash drive. This contains overall settings, character settings and you chat window layout/channels. It will have all of your accounts setup for the launcher. You won't need to cancel through all of the tooltips for new users. Chat will have whatever size, channels and other settings you had before. All of your ignore settings will be intact. 3) Then open this folder and select all contents. Atrocitus and Dex-starr 4) Make sure DCUO is NOT running on the new computer. Copy all of that into the most recent da...

DCUO: All the King's Mermen

Image
Note: This is an old post, but the instance and its feats haven't been changed. Fortunately NPC are much easier to kill in the current state of the game, so there is some time savings. Original Date: February 25, 2019 Location: Justice Girls league site This feat entails taking out the following adds before killing off Corum Rath: 13 Flames of Sagittarrius 32 Brine 23 Drift / Silent School 5 Barnicle Golems 4 Morgwar While the list is daunting, it's really not as bad as it seems because many of the counts will come automatically while trying to get others and they come out during specific points in the battle. The Team Because this is a long winded feat (be sure to carve out about 2 hours to form, prep & execute), endurance is far more important than damage. You don't want to get 70% done with the counters and then wipe only to have to do it over! We had 2 tanks to separate the various add types & distract the boss. 2 healers to be completely safe. With 2 healers th...

DCUO: The Silent School Checklist

Image
Note: This is an old post, but the instance and its feats haven't been changed. Fortunately NPC are much easier to kill in the current state of the game, so there is some time savings. Original Date: November 23, 2018 Location: Justice Girls league site Silent School is an RNG-based alert with a lot of feats. I'm pretty sure every run we do will be some kind of feat run. So it's good to have this checklist handy and be aware of which ones you need before we go in. Pisces Be My Chum - KO statues in chum (pink puke) locate the shark with the red liquid (chum) at the timer, move clockwise as the chum shifts over rotate your self heals & have a lot of defensive abilities slotted in Electric Ave - don't get electricuted by eel statues locate the shark with the chum and be on the shark to the right of it (no traps, perfectly open) at the timer, move clockwise to the shark that had the chum as it will be clear the next round if there's no rush, you can also have 3 play...

DCUO: Don't Fight the Power

Image
Batman in JLA Watchtower NOTE: This is an old post, but the feat still exists and the way to get it remains the same, although the current state of the game makes this easier than it's original date. Original Date: October 15, 2015 Location: Justice Girls league site This a feat for both the regular Watchtower alert and the LPVE version. The regular version of this is a non-issue. This guide concentrates on the LPvE version where you're not using your powered up character. You have 4 rounds to defeat Eradicator before he enrages. So you must burn roughly 25% per round. Note that Round #2 is shorter than the other three. So don't get too much into a rhythm or you might kill a drone by mistake. Look for the drones to release much earlier. All 4 players should use the legend they output the most damage with. Don't worry about teamups and checklists for this run. I recommend going with a legend that has a 35% finisher like Wonder Woman's Coup de Grace. This should be sp...

DCUO Archive: Villain CC Route

Image
Gotham City NOTE: This content is no longer relevant as base teleporters were added shortly after the Home Turf DLC. With the addition, there is no longer a need to travel from bounty to bounty by physically flying to them. This archive shows how inefficiently we did things back when it was current! We had to go back to the Watchtower or Hall of Doom in the middle when switching cities. The 2 in Central City are both available and the respawn timer was reduced across all of them. Original Date: AUgust 25, 2014 Location: Justice Girls league site I don't have too much experience with the villain bounties. I did 2 runs by myself and last night lead a semi-pugged group. As many know, the hero order is: Boom-Piper-Trick-Heat-Cold-Top-Weather (Zoom & Abra can be either at the start or end) ...which is based on shortest distance. You exit CC and go to the closet teleporter, Gotham East. You work your way to the Diamond District station and teleport to Metropolis Midtown. Then you wor...

DCUO: Corner of Gotham & Vine

Image
Dark Knight Batman at Arkham Asylum Note: This is an old post, but the instance and its feats haven't been changed. Fortunately NPC are much easier to kill in the current state of the game, so there is some time savings to what is still a grindy feat. Original Date: September 2, 2013 Location: Justice Girls league site Description: Wrap up each of the Gotham Heroes in Quick-Growing Vines inside the Arkham Asylum solo instance. This is a villain only feat from Ep6: Home Turf . This has to be one of the worst feats in the game. I finally got it the other day, so I wanted to share all the information I gathered. You need the quick-grow vines from one of the external missions. So when you have that mission, don't waste them all... use only as much as you need to complete the task. The vines expire in 7 days. So when you get the random daily task, know that you'll be spending some time replaying the interior instance... possibly without completing it right away. This took me abo...

DCUO: Who's the Boss? - The Hunt

Image
Note: This is an old post, but the instance and its feats have never been changed. Original Date: August 18, 2013 Location: Justice Girls league site Here are some screens of the visual cue for telling which boss you'll face in the Huntress solo. You don't even have to start fighting to see it. Just go to the corner of the conveyor belt and look towards the mobs. There will be a different object to the upper right. Venom Canister = Bane Cage = Killer Croc Dufflebag = Hush Lab Vat = Scarecrow

DCUO Archive: Recovery Kit Value Formula

Image
NOTE: This content is no longer relevant as recovery kits were phased out on July 18, 2018 when Augments were introduced. However the article still shows how calculations can be worked out for spending in this game. Recovery Kit Value Formula Original Date: April 26, 2013 Location: Justice Girls league site One of the things that seemed appealing about GU25 was the ability to recover exobytes from modded gear... until I saw the price tag! So I tried to come up with a formula to figure out if the plan is worth the marks and here’s the result... Step 1 - figure out farming time saved from the # of recovered exobytes Avg # of bits recovered / exofarming rate = time saved Avg # of bits recovered seems to be 1/3... so a Mod III will give back 3 of 9 Exofarming rate is # of bits you can gather in 1 min of play time Step 2 - figure out time it takes to get the marks to buy the plan Basically, add up all of your missions until you come up with the number of marks for the plan. Then get the tot...

Site Update (June 2026)

Image
Supergirl and Kryo Jennyx in Antimatter Metropolis I looked back at some past content I created spread across different platforms, before creating this site. Things tend to be easier to search on Blogger than the DCUO Forums, YouTube, X, etc. The DCUO Forums are using a proprietary software and don't have a modern dynamic search, so that is nearly unusable. You're actually better off going to Google and then search DCUO Forum + $SEARCH_TERM. YouTube just has too much garbage on it. X actually has an accurate search, but it takes too many steps. Blogger's tagging system is simple, but clean. I don't cover that many subjects here anyway. I plan to move some of those items over here. A few user guides may not be totally relevant anymore, but I will note that on the top. I think even old guides have historical value because they show the changes across the eras. Older instances that had heavy mechanics used to take a lot of coordination and may have been cancelled out by ho...

Tribute to the P90

Image
The P90 is a unique and practical submachine gun and is Earth's weapon of choice for battling aliens on the ground! It was the weapon used by the 4-person SG teams in Stargate SG-1 . Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter demonstrate why it's both versatile and formidable... Aside from Stargate, the P90 is a real life weapon made for vehicle usage, given it's short barrel and top loading magazine. You can easily step out of a jeep or tank and be in ready position instantly. For the same reason it makes sense with gate travel where the SG teams are constantly dumped into unknown terrains and threats. For more on the P90, click here . In DC Universe Online Opening 25 of the Absolute Gotham Time Capsules released on June 2, 2026, you can now have the P90 weapon and back styles for your Stargate themed characters! Apparently, the weapon is also used by Absolute Catwoman, who is being featured in this capsule. I had suggested this style ages ago with the caveat that it needed a...

DCUO: Returning Players

Image
Azrael in Bombshell Paradox It can be overwhelming to return to a 15 year old MMO that's been through many structural changes and core enhancements. It would take years to get up to speed at the rate you were grinding back when you first started and you'll always be behind current players who are grinding at the same rate, but didn't take time off. This article is designed for you to have a substantial amount of skillpoints with light but efficient grinding. Do these things to have anedge over new users who simply use a CR Advance token to skip to the current episodes. You'll have a  respectable SP-to-CR ratio. NOTE: This article was written in June 2026, with Episodes 51-53 being the recent 3. AAA Checklist Before diving into the episode content, it's important to make sure your character is squared away first. There have been many additions to the character's arsenal and they all start with "A." Below is the order in which you should activate them as...

DCUO: Supergirl Through the Years

Image
Jim Lee's Supergirl (2011) The original lineup of DCUO NPCs were largely based on Jim Lee's style and I personally label this the "Hush Era" because the big deal about that story arc was that we saw Jim Lee's Batman (along with Bat Family and Rogue's Gallery) and Superman in the same comic books. In a sense, this is what Supergirl would look like if she was mixed into that arc. This is also the pre-New 52 design. Thankfully the New 52 costume never made it to DCUO! Original DCUO Supergirl Bombshell Supergirl (2015) The Bombshells designs actually started out as fun illustrations by artist Ant (Aunt) Lucia, which then became variant covers. Out of popularity, the comic books turned them into an alternate universe in a WWII-like setting (Earth 24). And now, they're in a short DCUO episode (#15, Bombshells Paradox & Corrupted Zamaron , 8/12/2015) back when content was being released monthly. Though this design didn't batch replace Supergirl across the...
