"All servers will be offline tomorrow, 03.13.12, beginning at 8:00 AM PDT (4:00 PM CET) in preparation to launch DLC3 - The Battle For Earth! Downtime is anticipated to be less than 4 hours.
The Battle For Earth will be available immediately for all players.
Players may notice the following changes:
DC Universe Online’s The Battle For Earth introduces new level 30 Daily Solo Missions, new Tier 2 Duos, a new Tier 3 Alert, new Tier 4 Raids, Earth Powers, and new rewards including gear inspired by Brainiac technology, mythical creatures, and ancient spirits!
New Level 30 Daily Solo Missions!
Converted citizens are wreaking havoc in South Gotham. Stop them at all costs! Look for “Threat in South Gotham” in your Mission Journal.
New Tier 2 Duos!
South Gotham has been shaken by Brainiac’s invasion. Enter Brainiac’s containment fields to sabotage Brainiac’s plans! Look for “Gotham Hospital”, “Riverfront Center” & “Riverside Hotel” under Duos in your On Duty menu.
New Tier 3 Alert!
South Gotham Courthouse - Brainiac’s Union has set up a reprogramming center at the steps of the Gotham City Courthouse. Disrupt their workflow and take down their Union leaders! Look for “Order in the Court” in your Mission Journal.
New Tier 4 Raids!
The Gates of Tartarus - Stop Brainiac’s latest deadly plan on Wonder Woman’s home island. Look for “Battle for Themyscira” in your Mission Journal.
The Prime Battleground - Engage in the ultimate final battle against Brainiac and his Prime Avatars! Look for “The Omega and the Alpha” in your Mission Journal.
Earth Powers!
Choose Earth as your power type or choose “Geo-Force” or “Terra” if you want to be "inspired.” Earth powers can be used for both Tanking and Damage roles and have two ability trees, Geokinesis and Seismic.
Geokinesis gives players the ability to shape earthen constructs to crush enemies and reinforce allies. New damage transfer mechanics give Earth users a unique way to swing the tide of battle by redirecting damage away from allies and onto themselves – or even away from themselves and onto their constructs!
Seismic empowers players, allowing them to call mighty earth shaking forces that rattle and daze opponents. The Aftershock mechanic allows players to extend the effect of some Seismic powers so that your attacks keep rolling like an avalanche.
Light: Hard light encasements now properly interact with Pyrokinesis, Telekinetic Bolt, Psychic Resonance, and Resonating Gale."
