The last power that was added is still I think munitions was the last and skimming is still the last movement they added. Theyve changed some of the systems but nothing that impacts normal lvl 1 to 30 gameplay except that you don’t choose powers but they give them to you and you can still choose weapon moves and movement abilities along with the iconic abilities. The end game is the same with pvp and the story missions being updated it would seem kinda regularly. They still lock any cash past 10k in escrow and you still get this time capsules. None of the level 1 -30 missions are different. TL;DR: the game is basically the same with slight changes over the years to end game story missions and a few skill trees

They also have a daily reward system that replaces the vault but the vault comes back occasionally and the time capsules are still the same but you get like 7-18 fragments for it like every other day you log in.

The vault was a daily thing so you can still go in there daily there would be no reason to remove it and the combat hasn’t changed in years. I still have muscle memory for all of the martial arts moves even though I don’t play the game often. The game is less pay to win but I never really needed to pay to win it just took ages to get to a decent level to fight people that did pay. Gear and stuff like that like always was earned from the missions you did post level 30.

    My favorite character was able to use military weapons as abilities, and I probably should’ve equipped a paid power to him too like Levitation, but I went with super speed. I called my custom hero Redite.

Had some wings on the back though and used black with red. I usually played the medic role but for some reason when I played in teams I usually came out as top for dps, healing, and support. I think those were 3 of the 4 stats or something? I just know I regularly topped for 3 different categories. I wasn’t even super op either. Only spent money once to try the dlc and then I stopped playing, it was fun though.

    This game will always have a special place in my heart. I started back in 2012 and played religously until 2016. Since then, I've taken long breaks but I always return. DCUO set the standard for how I like an MMO to play and look in terms of the UI as well as how the loadout is displayed. In 2023, the devs are gonna be doing a graphics overhaul update as well as *FINALLY UPDATING PVP STUFF FOR ONCE AFTER 5 YEARS*
    Also, if anyone wants to start up a Zanny league on DCUO for villains and heroes, hmu lmao.
    EDIT: Zanny, the game REALLY starts when you hit level 30. Most if not all the DLCs are free rn if I'm not mistaken. And.. there's a button to press (R1 on a PS controller) that allows you to break out of a stun. That button might be just tapping your guard button rather than holding it.

    The combat in this game is actually decently well thought out, and the player base is still very active. The combat for an mmo is actually much more involved than most I have played before, once you get to raids and needing to know how your power and skills work, you usually need to find a cycle with your powers and weapons, and depending on what role you are it can feel pretty different. Dps sometimes can be boring, but if you like big numbers and damage that's for you, I love tanking so I found a cycle for my rage power set that ensures i basically never die and it's very engaging as you have to actually keep it up and have your timing down to a T especially for the rage power. Each power works in its own way and each specialize in their own area.

    Lol I've never clicked on one of your videos so fast. Never thought you'd play this game. I found this game about 3 years ago after I got burnout from a lot of time spent in different fps games. This was the first mmo I'd ever played and it is what eventually got me into giving destiny 2 a try. I recently just logged back into dcuo for the first time in like a year and half so the timing of this video is crazy. For anyone wondering this game is definitely not for everyone. To really be able to enjoy it you need to do a few things. First you need to really enjoy the dc comic universe and have at least basic knowledge of characters/storyline as there is 10 years worth of content diving pretty deep into a lot of events from the comics that most people don't know about. Second you need to be able to not get tired of a pretty repetitive combat system. Third you need to accept the fact that this game was made over 10 years ago, although some of the graphics/character models have gotten some much needed updates in recent years. The difference between the looks of recently added character models compared to the older ones is pretty striking. And fourth, you need to be ready to either accept that most of the game is behind a pay wall, or be ready to spend at least a couple hundred dollars if you want all the powers/amenities/extra inventory space as they barely give you any for free/character slots(you get 2 free with a max of 32). Honestly I think how much of this game isn't free is what keeps the population from being even higher although for how old it is the fact that at certain hours of the day you can find quit a lot of people on is pretty impressive. Seems to be mostly either brand new people giving the game a try or people who have played for forever. My advice for things new players shouldn't do, don't get too involved in the in-game economy, don't CR skip(combat rating), don't try it unless you have a lot of time to dedicate to it, and do not fall for the trap that are "time capsules" as the rng is terrible and to get what you want from them requires a significant amount of real world money.
    My favorite thing about this game though definitely has to be the voice acting. Although a lot of the npcs acting and dialog is terrible and repetitive, the main characters feature some of the best actors especially if you're older and grew up with them like Kevin Conroy as batman for example. Although I doubt it, I'd love to see zanny do another video on this game as there is so much to it and so much that he could make funnier than it already is.

    Honestly, the early Metropolis missions of either side are pretty silly.
    Superman: You start off fighting evil gorrilas that forcefully make people return to monke.
    Lex Luthor: You turn high school students into monsters by giving them vaccines.
    Supes and Lex: After the previously mentioned parts, you'll be sent to fight off bee cosplayers stealing the stuff that gave you your superpowers.
    Wonder Woman: You fight Egyptian cosplayers and their zombie hordes.
    Circe: You summon demons in Chinatown.
    W.W. and Circe: After the previously mentioned parts, you'll have to either corrupt the (no longer Teen) Titans or save them to ensure/prevent the rise of DC Satan.
    Meanwhile, in Gotham, it gets a lot darker.
    Batman: You are in the middle of an area full of Scarecrow's fear gas and have to face off against hallucinations that can be friend, foe or just plain nothing.
    Joker: You start a freaking GANG WAR while blowing up police cars and setting cops on fire.
    Bats 'n Jokes: After that, you'll find that Bane is back and he's selling his super steroids. Now you'll have to beat up lots of roid-rage thugs and eventually beat up Bane himself.
    After all that, the three stories pretty much merge into a single on-going narrative with a mentor-specific mission at level 15 and 30.
    Also, the "Batman Who Laughs" isn't just the Joker in Batman's suit, he's Batman with the Joker's insanity. All of Batman's skills, tactics and experience, combined with the craziness and unpredictability of the Joker.

    This is the absolute last game I ever expected you to play, but as a game I spent a few thousand hours in, it was a nice blast from the past, the early content back when it was owned by SOE, before they became Daybreak had some of the highest quality VAs and interesting storylines/ cutscenes of the time imo. The back and forth of Future Lex vs Future Bats all the way to the payoff in the Prime Battleground was something I'll never forget. But it's definitely a game that heavily encourages you to by a membership, since you're basically money capped from buying the CR 70 gear at 1,500. But what really shined for the longest time, was this game's pvp arenas. Some of the most chaotic and fun pvp you could get your hands on. Sadly their balancing team couldn't keep up with everything being added, and it got sidelined for years. But still has some great content in the form of raids and pvp legends. The cosmetics and customization for a hero game is the best in the genre, with an achievement system you will become very familiar with in more endgame content. Stay far away from the market, time capsules, booster boxes, and the like. They will drain your wallet faster than you realize. All of that aside, one of the best game I ever enjoyed my time in.
