Hey folks! I play DCUO and thought this new episode was pretty fun! They’ve made some improvements the last few months, so if you’ve tried it in the past, you might want to give it another look. Also, they’ve updated Superman ingame, and he now wears the current “Rebirth’ uniform. Cheers!
I haven’t played in over a year, lost interest in their DLC packs. I wager now it’s as good a time as any to give it another go.
The Earth3 content is open to players starting at level 10. Also, the stats/powers have been revamped. Iconic Powers (Freezing Breath, Heat Vision), are now very competitive as well. I even made a Superman-inspired character, ‘Star Valiant’, who is very fun to play.
My main is an unstable Superman clone from the old Cadmus Project that preceded Superboy. Must’ve remade that character a million times by now. But yeah, that character shares a lot of Superman’s power set as well. Not great for team-play, but fun to play solo.
