Haven't played since 2012. Coming back. It's going to be like a brand new game after not playing so long, and so much has changed. Thx for the video and information. You rock!
If everyone made content this thorough and well articulated for the games they play there would be a lot less confusion in general. I no-lifed this game for a long time and took a long, long break and finding this video made it super easy to seemlessly kind of slide back into my grove. This is super well done man. Thank you for the attention to detail and hard work you put it into it.
As someone who’s struggled to understand anything more than basic combat in this game , those video was super helpful and well put together thanks a lot.
Leaving a tip here for new players Choosing a power: When Choosing a power you need to decide between 3 options Do you want to have the potential to Tank (make sure the enemies don't hit your teamates) If you choose tank your options are (free to play) Ice or fire (All) Ice, fire, rage, earth, atomic Healer (supplies team with health) (Free to play) Sorcery or nature (All) Sorcery, nature, celestial, electricity, water Controller (supplies power to team) (Free to play) Mental or gadgets (All) Mental, gadgets, quantum, Light, munitions The best of each role is (Controller = Gadgets) (Tank = Rage) (healer = water/electricity) Every power has a damage role which you can decide whether your might (uses superpowers for more damage) or prec (uses weapons for more damage) The best might is Gadgets (against a single target) or Rage (best Meele) The best prec is gadgets (Single target) or Electricity (Multiple targets)
Thanks for this I used to be a veteran player back when Sony owned the rights to the game, and when Daybreak first started pushing out content when they took over. I was on PC (a very low tech one sadly) and was a rage tank/dps with a side villain character. Finally decided after all these years to rejoin this crazy world on the Xbox side this time (maybe now I won't have lag and other issues). And I must say I'm surprised to see all the new changes the game has undergone both visually and gameplay wise. But the one thing I see that hasn't changed is the crazy prices in the broker let me tell you that place has always been money hungry pit 🙄. Once again thanks for giving me all the helpful information let's see if this old vet still has what it takes to play and maybe rekindle that old spark.
I stopped playing 5 years ago but it seems like the game has grown to be more f2p friendly from what I've seen. Starting over soon so this will be a helpful refresh.
Reallt enjoying this on Nintendo switch oled! Just started playing an I too late? Was looking for mmorpg on switch this seem to be the best current one
which power "Light " based type is a good substitute for free play players that have no access to either two lantern ring light powers, quantum, or atomic? I am asking this because I am creating a hypothetical character that would have been the ultimate beneficiary to ending the crisis war more quickly if he were to exist in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" Three-Parter special; So is Gadget energy more powerful against the shadow demons than the fire power? Or does Fire count as a light power for the shadow demons to fear?
The game is great on pc not so much on console tbh..I didn't like it that much on ps4...to me the purpose of the game is to simulate and role play an action Hero or a fictional character of any kind..such character can range from cpt Kirk all the way to a Mortal Kombat character on the realism scale...the game provides enough customisation options to simulate any character in both looks and abilities..for example I have a full account with almost all MortalKombat characters and my main is Queen Elsa male version 😂..it's Ice power, Skimming and Hand Blast..in light of that to me it seems like the game is more about the art work and the roleplaying and less about hard core gaming pve or pvp..it's not that kind of game where I wish to prove my QTE skill 😂..to me its more about the character snd how much I can simulate it and survive with that simulation of the character in question..
I love Comics love this game but really confused for years on what to do I only play by myself I would love to play with you so you can show me the right way to do it mostly the weekends when my grandson not here
Man I played and bought this for my PS3 at launch and played about 2-3 years straight. I still have my physical edition of this game. It was my first MMO and met a lot of my friends through this game. I just logged back in and shit has changed so much than back in 2012 its insane
Agree with 90%, but i wish ppl would stop promoting sp so much. If i had to follow ur advice on sp i would have quit the game within my first month of playing, and i have been playing on and off for 10 years. Or i would never use a cr skip bc I’m sill at 235 sp and am not planning to ever grind to 500+. I have used multiple cr skips and I’m doing just fine in normal content. This isn’t the dcuo we knew 5-10 years ago, when everything was somewhat elite. With the normal content now, cr skip is not a problem at all even for 0 sp, as it will give close to 100 anyways. If i were to start a new toon now and grind to end game, i could easily reach it within a week and less than 50sp.
I kind of agree with what you said but you answered your question yourself. Since you can reach the end game within a week, that means there is nothing else to do. So grinding for SP is what makes this game interesting. Trying to achieve the difficult feats, trying different strategies with friends and league mates. This is what this MMO is all about. Also, in my opinion, anything from 400-450SP is more than enough since you can get the stats you need for DPSing, Trolling or even healing. But for Tank, more the better. But yeah, if you are a casual player, you definitely don't need SP since you won't be playing the Elite content or attempting difficult feats anyways. So I agree with you there ;)
@@iEddyGaming being a casual player doesn’t mean i can’t play elite content. I can successfully complete any content in game with 200 sp and the right team with other players with 150-250 sp. if we all have arts 160+, that’s gonna make it much easier for us than having 600 sp. u say that’s what dcuo is all about, but again ur talking for players who want to become elite. If I’m not mistaken the elite players represent the clear minority in dcuo. There’s plenty to do for me after reaching end game. The reason why I’m able to still play after 10 years is having multiple toons. If we were limited to 1 toon, I’d agree with u and quit the game, bc i can’t stand grinding sp. having 13 toons in end game, soon to be 15, gives me enough to do so i never have to work on sp if I don’t want to. I prefer playing the same mission 15 times with a different power or role every time, than to play 15 different missions with the same power just to look for sp
I hear you. That's where me and you are different. I prefer playing one toon and 15 different missions. I cannot do same mission more than twice, it gets boring for me. And I am not saying that you are wrong or I am wrong. I know many people who share your playing style. As long as your enjoying game, its all good. That's what matters. You do you, i will do me. 😉 In the end, we are all gamers. Safe.
@@iEddyGaming I’m not talking about right and wrong either. My point here is that you made this video for new players, but I’m afraid you might scare off potential new casual players like me. I love the game and my only fear is that the game population goes down. So in a video for new players i would have preferred arguments for all types of players to attract them all to come play with us
@@raph1534 Like many things the video is open to interpretation - Let players watch the video and form their own opinions. Just because your approach worked does not mean it will for others.
Have seen and almost tried this game several times over the years. Just now finally pulled the trigger and played a bunch today. Got to level 16 or something. This game is so dope! I appreciate this guide a ton! Very well put together and concise. Made having a direction to move towards a breeze. Thank you much!
I discovered this video on my Home Screen and this video guide was so fluent and easy to understand. I am now waiting for my download of DCUO to complete so I can play. Good video I give A like and subscribed!
Been playing as f2p for many years, and only just now coming back to discover how much more content is available for free players these days, so this video is coming in handy even for those with some small amount of experience.
Thank you for this information, iEddy. I'm a returning player after being gone since 2013 when I left the game after 2 years of play. Nice to see DCUO is still around. :D
My friend and I just started playing this, I have no idea what you're talking about... I'm just looking for a good gadget or electricity build for my friend what abilities skill trees to go for.. I'm also wondering how to fast travel cause I've been stuck in the hall of justice for a week. And also... how tf do i join my friends? Says "unknown phasing error" Like.. if i knew what the error was i could figure it out on my own.. the UI is so terrible though.. feels archaic doing anything in this game. I've found the teleportation hub but its bugged and won't let me use it. Help would be nice.. One more thing.. on console, the only option in controller settings is turn vibration on or off when I wanted to make my block button L1 instead of R1 like who made these controls?? Lol
For the gadget/electricity build you might be better off searching on yt the best build for (your power) and watch the most recent video. Fast traveling well for that just go to the map and click on warp menu. You can fast travel to cities. Playing with friends I’m not sure. I’m on P5, I was able to play with my friend with no issues.
I have several tunes that I keep it lower level intentionally, this tune I’m on now it’s too big to go to Gas metal DC and convert her coin to source Mark. Is there a way to do this anymore since the teleporter system of the watchtower has been abandoned. Thank you bro.
Hey Eddie it occurs to me that your alternate characters might also be a good way to store items you don’t have space for I’m not sure how long email can go unaccepted But it occurs to me that you can mail five items at a time to anyone so if you don’t have space in your shared area to do it you can just mail them to another character on your account and then we were in the mail and tell you need them
Awesome breakdown for us noobies man. Been playing literally only about 2 weeks, and so far I've had a blast. It is definitely a grind. I'm started to see the massive benefit to having a membership. Thanks once again! ~Cheers!
its def a MASSIVE grind but I've been playing about a month so a few weeks longer than you and its been great. Need any help with runs? let me know! I want to have a crew!
@@ParisTheGreat My bad for the late reply my bro! Yo0o I'm down to link up with you man we can def run some missions and link! YES I can definitely can use the help, I'd take all the help I can get! I'm actually a tank and I'm absolutely loving all the technicalities it takes to be a "good" one, because it def takes work with the build once you find one. Haha I was recently invited to a League and they're all cool too, would be could if you'd join haha! Blessings bro!
That’s where I’m stuck right now is to find how to teleport to the different locations in DC universe . I only have 2 locations central City and the second location skyler basse and I don’t have any more new locations to go to how can I get them ?? And also I’m stuck in instances in the On duty menu I tried to find them how can I find them
Level up to unlock more locations. Click on warp menu, go to house of legends, then go to the tallest structure in the middle, that's your teleporter to everywhere. For On duty, go to your settings and then key bindings, see the key for on duty menu, as it is different for PS, Xbox, PC etc. Once you are in on-duty menu, pick solos, duos, alert or raid to run stuff. But please note, leveling up will unlock more content, you cannot run high level content if you do not have the required combat rating. Good luck.
Bro why us f2p players have been waiting for 10 years or 10 more years so we can exchange powers for free all I've been wanting electric & quantum 😪 OH and tokens to skip feats and earn easier
Yeah, sadly, they are not gonna make any more powers free, as far as I know. Because since they made all the episodes free, powers tokens and stuff like that are the only way they are making money from the game.
Hey there, iEddy, I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I haven’t played since 2019 and I’m hoping to get back into DCUO. This video is very helpful and would highly recommend to both, new and returning players. It has everything from the very beginning of the game, up to the very late endgame. And bye the way, I subscribed to you because I’ve been loving your tutorial videos. Have a wonderful and beautiful day. 😊
I would love to play but they banned my Account for Chargeback and i dont even know why. Used to pay via Paypal but quit my Subscription. Could that be the reason?
Hi! Yes that happened to me once too. Sometimes, bank blocks the transactions because most of the gaming sites comes under suspicious activity. Just open a ticket with DC Universe Online Help after you have cleared with your bank that this game is safe and you want to do monthly subscription. DCUO Help should get you your account bank once the payment goes through. Good luck =)
Great vid!!! Should you open boxes that have a min max level like cybernetic Sorceresss SShoulderguards box? Should I wait till im a higher level currently level 20.
Hello, I joined the game in the beggining to play gadgets controller. Is it a good power today? In the past I wanted to create a theme Batman character but not many things. Today I see many costumes, are ALL still available? I would like to collect every Batman thing
Hi! Welcome to DCUO! =) Gadgets is definitely top tier power. But since you are choosing to be a controller, there are few things you should learn beforehand. Here is a complete guide on What Controlling is in DCUO and how it works? The types etc. Take a look =) ua-cam.com/video/pMP1CcNSgcc/v-deo.html As for Batman styles, yes they are all available, some are rare and expensive but you can definitely get them in time. Good luck =)
Numlock key by default. But you can change the keybinding by going to settings. Also make sure, you can have one skill point put in speedforce innate under superspeed skill tree.
I hope the beginning and tutorial won’t be too hard to beat like it was when I first started playing on Braniac’s ship back in 2014. I now have the free version on my switch.
I haven't played since i was like 12. Im 26 now, thanks, this really is helpful since i just started and reached level 9 Everything is so fresh and so much new content!
I started playing again after 10yrs. I then went through a struggle and discontinued my internet to cut down down on bills, after about a year I got that internet back up. Now I’m at it again. This game is a lot of fun but can be confusing as hell. 10yrs ago I never even beat the game. But now I’m hooked! Still don’t understand the whole thing about quarks & time capsules but it sounds important. I’ve been selling my time capsules man! 😤
I played this from the beginning ... YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD NEWBIES ABOUT "CLIPPING SKILL AND NORMAL ATTACK" to cancel animation , THIS TECHNIQUE will SIGNIFICANTLY boost your DAMAGE / SUPPORT ROLE PLAYING 🤣🤣🤣
This is guaranteed to be paid to win. You must know that going in if you want to be a DPS if you care about scores and boards you're going to be paying a lot of money. Because 120 artifacts you're not going to cut it you're going to be going against people with 200s and full leakier that make this a job. So if you don't want to spend a lot of money and you're okay with not being on the top the game is good a really good game. But if you're pocket is not full this game will be very frustrating
What they should do is add an update where we can live our lives as our civilian identities doing normal things and activities. And when we see crime happening you can change into your alter in ego and fight cringe
You can "kind of" do that with armories. One armory as full civilian clothing and all. Then another armory for your superhero/alter ego. Just switch between those and play pretend 😁
@@iEddyGaming Yeah but I mean doing normal activities that don't have to do with super hero stuff. Like going to a dance club with other players, work a job (in the form of a series of mini games) go to a theme park - Oh, it could be Six Flags, decorate our apartments with stuff we buy from the in game store or win in raids - we could watch entire episodes of Batman and Superman the Animated Series' on our in game TV's, or go watch entire DC animated movies in an in-game movie theater or the Watchtower with other players. This could make it a functioning Metaverse. But the game's engine is so old it unfortunately might not be able to accommodate all that.
Dude, how can I make more money? Most of the items I want are at the broker and the guys sell it very expensive, most of the items are priced in the millions, this is absurd, how can I get more money to buy the items?
I haven’t played this game in about 4 years, they added so many things that weren’t there before. Might join back, if I can find my old account that is XD.
And I’m bad it amazes me that many MMO‘s don’t have any way to share items between characters except for paid a win type situations where you have to buy shared space for that purpose but DCO has two ways to do it you can mail them to that character or put them in the shared bank space I don’t understand how this isn’t like at the top of the top 5.8 miles it is it is it has so many features that are friendly even while being a free to play game with Peter win aspects it still has so many features that are friendly to the free to play environment or to the entire community really
Exactly it’s like handing civilian a loaded MP five and telling them to get all go out and use it appropriately do you have in your ear handing a person weigh overpowered character compared to what they are used to I’m expecting him to understand it it’s it’s not a great process for new people want to know the game and you want to create a new alternate that is one thing
I can attest to that I actually played the game for a while before but recently I downloaded it and logged in created new character used to the cause everybody who has I think level 40 or above character gets a free skip all the way I think the 298 or something anyway you get a gigantic leap you get all this awesome gear stuff better than anything I’ve ever had before and then I was completely fucking lost no idea what to do or where to go because it’s get me you know too far ahead it’s not worth using those skip tokens and less Shira veteran player who already knows what they’re doing and even then it’s probably not worth it for the reasons you just outline but you’re missing out on a lot of the points and not the resulting skill points
Yeah I had a 255 skip character from a while back and I asked Bentley skipped him to 310 last week and I am now in the process of building a new character almost exactly like that character to go back and do all the content which will also get me a lot of those fees that I miss but there’s the other side of it is when you skip ahead like that completes a whole bunch of contact for you and you can’t go back and do it it’s not listed anymore you can just go back and do it anyway and so you miss a lot of stuff and since I haven’t play the game for years exam logging in that one time and skipping a character I had I wanted to go back right from the start and play through it all the 1 to 30 part and actually Learn the game
Yeah I just want free to play this I mean legendary membership this weekend so that I can get the extra storage space the replay badges and access to all of the superpowers I’m not sure what else and there that I’ll find useful but mostly I wanted all the superpowers
I haven't played since the skill point over haul back in like 2017 or so. I've always wanted to get a style set as well and this video helped point me in the right direction. I've had such a hard time getting up my CR before the episodes went free for all.
I just came back to watch this video after playing for like a week to see you know if I got all the new player shit now and one thing I wanted to point out Eddie is that you’re telling people to go look at your bill videos but you’re telling new players that have no chance at either even understanding your bills or coming up with the fits to make your bill I mean your bills are for maxed out people that have three metro at least three maxed out artifacts but I have maxed out Karam here that have a really good grasp on things like car camping and clipping and get all the different canceling methods for your animations there’s no way anybody watching this video as a new player can I have any concept of what goes into one of your belt for not gonna have that gear for months at least I’ll stay here I’ll spend a boatload of money dance on the character over and over again I’ll be there come by at three Tana skip that still not gonna get them up to the level necessary to make one of your bills
Hey man pointer on sharing with other characters as you pointed out already our inventories in our banks and even the shared bank it’s always gonna be full if you need to give something to another character rather than put it in the shared bank just go ahead and send it to the other character in an email and then it won’t be taking up any inventory space until they actually except the item and you can send five items at a time can’t send cash anymore do your own characters but you can still send items

Leaving a tip here for new players
Choosing a power:
When Choosing a power you need to decide between 3 options
Do you want to have the potential to
Tank (make sure the enemies don't hit your teamates)
If you choose tank your options are
(free to play) Ice or fire
(All) Ice, fire, rage, earth, atomic
Healer (supplies team with health)
(Free to play) Sorcery or nature
(All) Sorcery, nature, celestial, electricity, water
Controller (supplies power to team)
(Free to play) Mental or gadgets
(All) Mental, gadgets, quantum, Light, munitions
The best of each role is (Controller = Gadgets) (Tank = Rage) (healer = water/electricity)
Every power has a damage role which you can decide whether your might (uses superpowers for more damage) or prec (uses weapons for more damage)
The best might is Gadgets (against a single target) or Rage (best Meele)
The best prec is gadgets (Single target) or Electricity (Multiple targets)
Very cool video, man. I appreciate you taking the time to put it all together for those of us who needed it.
Thanks for this I used to be a veteran player back when Sony owned the rights to the game, and when Daybreak first started pushing out content when they took over. I was on PC (a very low tech one sadly) and was a rage tank/dps with a side villain character.
Finally decided after all these years to rejoin this crazy world on the Xbox side this time (maybe now I won't have lag and other issues). And I must say I'm surprised to see all the new changes the game has undergone both visually and gameplay wise. But the one thing I see that hasn't changed is the crazy prices in the broker let me tell you that place has always been money hungry pit 🙄.
Once again thanks for giving me all the helpful information let's see if this old vet still has what it takes to play and maybe rekindle that old spark.
bro I don't mean to be a noob but what does DPS mean?
@@ParisTheGreat Damage Per Second.
I stopped playing 5 years ago but it seems like the game has grown to be more f2p friendly from what I've seen. Starting over soon so this will be a helpful refresh.
Ahah, it has not changed at all. A lot of endgame content is still behind a paywall.
@@Jebbles1 well, We can use more cash so thats nice.
The quality of this video is out standing
0:01 How you get the head style he’s wearing?
Here in 2023. Thanks broski.
Reallt enjoying this on Nintendo switch oled! Just started playing an I too late? Was looking for mmorpg on switch this seem to be the best current one
which power "Light " based type is a good substitute for free play players that have no access to either two lantern ring light powers, quantum, or atomic? I am asking this because I am creating a hypothetical character that would have been the ultimate beneficiary to ending the crisis war more quickly if he were to exist in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" Three-Parter special; So is Gadget energy more powerful against the shadow demons than the fire power? Or does Fire count as a light power for the shadow demons to fear?
Very detailed and well-explained video for our new players. Great job! 👌🏼
Thank you my friend. 👊🏼😁
i am returning to the game after literal years of being offline.
Awesome video, 👌 very nicely laid out from start to finish
Thank you my friend. =)
The game is great on pc not so much on console tbh..I didn't like it that much on ps4...to me the purpose of the game is to simulate and role play an action Hero or a fictional character of any kind..such character can range from cpt Kirk all the way to a Mortal Kombat character on the realism scale...the game provides enough customisation options to simulate any character in both looks and abilities..for example I have a full account with almost all MortalKombat characters and my main is Queen Elsa male version 😂..it's Ice power, Skimming and Hand Blast..in light of that to me it seems like the game is more about the art work and the roleplaying and less about hard core gaming pve or pvp..it's not that kind of game where I wish to prove my QTE skill 😂..to me its more about the character snd how much I can simulate it and survive with that simulation of the character in question..
Hi all, I need help! I’m in the hall of doom and I want the armour set that is next to Two-Face in the Tech Wing, but he isn’t selling it?
What if I don't have a generator and how do I actually access social menu?
Oh wow. So this game basically like elder scrolls online 🤦🏾♂️ no wonder i get so confuse 😅. Coming back
Whats the name of the music at 10:00
Here's MY ultimate guide to dcuo online
Step 1: install final fantasy 14
I would surgest you speak a little slower. But otherwise good guide. Thanks.
I love Comics love this game but really confused for years on what to do I only play by myself I would love to play with you so you can show me the right way to do it mostly the weekends when my grandson not here
Sip miss dcuo online y want it for android cross platform if fortnite was possible any game is possible
I wanna come back now that all episodes are unlocked, really want to start fresh but its been so long.
This wasn’t good I couldn’t understand half the words you were saying
Man I played and bought this for my PS3 at launch and played about 2-3 years straight. I still have my physical edition of this game. It was my first MMO and met a lot of my friends through this game. I just logged back in and shit has changed so much than back in 2012 its insane
Agree with 90%, but i wish ppl would stop promoting sp so much. If i had to follow ur advice on sp i would have quit the game within my first month of playing, and i have been playing on and off for 10 years. Or i would never use a cr skip bc I’m sill at 235 sp and am not planning to ever grind to 500+. I have used multiple cr skips and I’m doing just fine in normal content. This isn’t the dcuo we knew 5-10 years ago, when everything was somewhat elite. With the normal content now, cr skip is not a problem at all even for 0 sp, as it will give close to 100 anyways. If i were to start a new toon now and grind to end game, i could easily reach it within a week and less than 50sp.
I kind of agree with what you said but you answered your question yourself. Since you can reach the end game within a week, that means there is nothing else to do. So grinding for SP is what makes this game interesting. Trying to achieve the difficult feats, trying different strategies with friends and league mates. This is what this MMO is all about.
Also, in my opinion, anything from 400-450SP is more than enough since you can get the stats you need for DPSing, Trolling or even healing. But for Tank, more the better. But yeah, if you are a casual player, you definitely don't need SP since you won't be playing the Elite content or attempting difficult feats anyways. So I agree with you there ;)
@@iEddyGaming being a casual player doesn’t mean i can’t play elite content. I can successfully complete any content in game with 200 sp and the right team with other players with 150-250 sp. if we all have arts 160+, that’s gonna make it much easier for us than having 600 sp. u say that’s what dcuo is all about, but again ur talking for players who want to become elite. If I’m not mistaken the elite players represent the clear minority in dcuo. There’s plenty to do for me after reaching end game. The reason why I’m able to still play after 10 years is having multiple toons. If we were limited to 1 toon, I’d agree with u and quit the game, bc i can’t stand grinding sp. having 13 toons in end game, soon to be 15, gives me enough to do so i never have to work on sp if I don’t want to. I prefer playing the same mission 15 times with a different power or role every time, than to play 15 different missions with the same power just to look for sp
I hear you. That's where me and you are different. I prefer playing one toon and 15 different missions. I cannot do same mission more than twice, it gets boring for me. And I am not saying that you are wrong or I am wrong. I know many people who share your playing style. As long as your enjoying game, its all good. That's what matters. You do you, i will do me. 😉 In the end, we are all gamers. Safe.
@@iEddyGaming I’m not talking about right and wrong either. My point here is that you made this video for new players, but I’m afraid you might scare off potential new casual players like me. I love the game and my only fear is that the game population goes down. So in a video for new players i would have preferred arguments for all types of players to attract them all to come play with us
@@raph1534 Like many things the video is open to interpretation - Let players watch the video and form their own opinions. Just because your approach worked does not mean it will for others.
Have seen and almost tried this game several times over the years. Just now finally pulled the trigger and played a bunch today. Got to level 16 or something. This game is so dope!
I appreciate this guide a ton! Very well put together and concise. Made having a direction to move towards a breeze. Thank you much!
I discovered this video on my Home Screen and this video guide was so fluent and easy to understand. I am now waiting for my download of DCUO to complete so I can play. Good video I give A like and subscribed!
I have not played yet but is Hawkgirl or huntress in it?
Sad that people are still supporting this game🤦♂️
Been playing as f2p for many years, and only just now coming back to discover how much more content is available for free players these days, so this video is coming in handy even for those with some small amount of experience.
Played this game years ago was really good, then lost my acc, now I’m coming back thanks for this walkthrough🙌🏽
Great video man!! Appreciate your time and knowledge! Definitely subscribing 😉
Great guide overall mate, just a little mistake you forgot to put eletrical as healer power + dps
Thank you. 😊 Yup, already mentioned in pinned comment.
is there a game underneath all those names and healthbars and numbers? heh
Great vid Eddy
I’m the intro can anybody tell me where he get them gloves
Thank you for this information, iEddy. I'm a returning player after being gone since 2013 when I left the game after 2 years of play. Nice to see DCUO is still around. :D
My friend and I just started playing this, I have no idea what you're talking about... I'm just looking for a good gadget or electricity build for my friend what abilities skill trees to go for..
I'm also wondering how to fast travel cause I've been stuck in the hall of justice for a week.
And also... how tf do i join my friends? Says "unknown phasing error"
Like.. if i knew what the error was i could figure it out on my own.. the UI is so terrible though.. feels archaic doing anything in this game.
I've found the teleportation hub but its bugged and won't let me use it.
Help would be nice..
One more thing.. on console, the only option in controller settings is turn vibration on or off when I wanted to make my block button L1 instead of R1 like who made these controls?? Lol
For the gadget/electricity build you might be better off searching on yt the best build for (your power) and watch the most recent video.
Fast traveling well for that just go to the map and click on warp menu. You can fast travel to cities.
Playing with friends I’m not sure. I’m on P5, I was able to play with my friend with no issues.
Hey, is CW Supergirl still available?
Name of the helmet please where can I get it
I have several tunes that I keep it lower level intentionally, this tune I’m on now it’s too big to go to Gas metal DC and convert her coin to source Mark. Is there a way to do this anymore since the teleporter system of the watchtower has been abandoned. Thank you bro.
Go to House of Legends, from there take the teleporter to any episode's open area.
This was a VERY well made video!
Thank you so much!
Hey Eddie it occurs to me that your alternate characters might also be a good way to store items you don’t have space for I’m not sure how long email can go unaccepted But it occurs to me that you can mail five items at a time to anyone so if you don’t have space in your shared area to do it you can just mail them to another character on your account and then we were in the mail and tell you need them
The Grind is real, geez, no thanks, I pass
Awesome breakdown for us noobies man. Been playing literally only about 2 weeks, and so far I've had a blast. It is definitely a grind. I'm started to see the massive benefit to having a membership. Thanks once again!
~Cheers!
its def a MASSIVE grind but I've been playing about a month so a few weeks longer than you and its been great. Need any help with runs? let me know! I want to have a crew!
@@ParisTheGreat My bad for the late reply my bro!
Yo0o I'm down to link up with you man we can def run some missions and link!
YES I can definitely can use the help, I'd take all the help I can get!
I'm actually a tank and I'm absolutely loving all the technicalities it takes to be a "good" one, because it def takes work with the build once you find one. Haha I was recently invited to a League and they're all cool too, would be could if you'd join haha!
Blessings bro!
Of course the membership helps, the devs greedily designed it that way
Is this still current being 2 yrs
That’s where I’m stuck right now is to find how to teleport to the different locations in DC universe . I only have 2 locations central City and the second location skyler basse and I don’t have any more new locations to go to how can I get them ?? And also I’m stuck in instances in the On duty menu I tried to find them how can I find them
Level up to unlock more locations. Click on warp menu, go to house of legends, then go to the tallest structure in the middle, that's your teleporter to everywhere.
For On duty, go to your settings and then key bindings, see the key for on duty menu, as it is different for PS, Xbox, PC etc. Once you are in on-duty menu, pick solos, duos, alert or raid to run stuff. But please note, leveling up will unlock more content, you cannot run high level content if you do not have the required combat rating. Good luck.
i just open my old account ill try to play now
Bro why us f2p players have been waiting for 10 years or 10 more years so we can exchange powers for free all I've been wanting electric & quantum 😪 OH and tokens to skip feats and earn easier
Yeah, sadly, they are not gonna make any more powers free, as far as I know. Because since they made all the episodes free, powers tokens and stuff like that are the only way they are making money from the game.
I can't wait to watch this. I am so lost on the game.
Hey there, iEddy, I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I haven’t played since 2019 and I’m hoping to get back into DCUO. This video is very helpful and would highly recommend to both, new and returning players. It has everything from the very beginning of the game, up to the very late endgame. And bye the way, I subscribed to you because I’ve been loving your tutorial videos. Have a wonderful and beautiful day. 😊
Welcome back and Thank you for your kind words. 🙏🏼
@@iEddyGaming your welcome
I would love to play but they banned my Account for Chargeback and i dont even know why. Used to pay via Paypal but quit my Subscription. Could that be the reason?
Hi! Yes that happened to me once too. Sometimes, bank blocks the transactions because most of the gaming sites comes under suspicious activity. Just open a ticket with DC Universe Online Help after you have cleared with your bank that this game is safe and you want to do monthly subscription. DCUO Help should get you your account bank once the payment goes through. Good luck =)
just wondering. how have you accumulated so much money in game? tia
ua-cam.com/video/GEzGslBR09A/v-deo.html Answer in detail @4:44
I cant get past the connecting acreen 😢
omg!! this game is so complicated.
I just wish it wasn't so pay 2 win heavy
Really must not like electricity, leaving it out of the healer power options...
Pinned comment: Number 10
Does this game work on Steam Deck, like controller etc
Yup, dcuo works on steam deck as far as I know.
It's actually good.
I need to know if you can make a tank using electricity class. Please help
No you can't. Electricity is healer power.
Great vid!!! Should you open boxes that have a min max level like cybernetic Sorceresss SShoulderguards box? Should I wait till im a higher level currently level 20.
Hi Max! Wait till you are Level 30. Open unattuned gear boxes after that and get your combat rating up =)
@@iEddyGaming Thanks so much!
Hello, I joined the game in the beggining to play gadgets controller.
Is it a good power today?
In the past I wanted to create a theme Batman character but not many things. Today I see many costumes, are ALL still available? I would like to collect every Batman thing
Hi! Welcome to DCUO! =)
Gadgets is definitely top tier power. But since you are choosing to be a controller, there are few things you should learn beforehand. Here is a complete guide on What Controlling is in DCUO and how it works? The types etc. Take a look =)
ua-cam.com/video/pMP1CcNSgcc/v-deo.html
As for Batman styles, yes they are all available, some are rare and expensive but you can definitely get them in time. Good luck =)
I just realized I have already answered to your comment on different video haha Sorry I am getting old xD
@@iEddyGaming thank you gentleman, I was about to buy some bundles but it seems we can get them for free if we work hard, right
That's correct. 😊
why cutscenes dont have voice? can i get them same how active or its bugged game?
You can adjust the audio settings under the game settings. I play with all sounds off so I can be on voice chat.
Hello. Can this game be played as an online multiplayer option.
Yes. 90% of the gameplay is online multiplayer.
Which faction and server has better population? I played EU villain side some time ago and the queues were really long..
US PS/PC - Hero side
@@iEddyGaming alright, thank you :) and thanks for your videos
please help me, how do you run faster with super speed, please help. on pc
Numlock key by default. But you can change the keybinding by going to settings. Also make sure, you can have one skill point put in speedforce innate under superspeed skill tree.
Electric. You forgot electric. 😂
Mentioned in pinned comment already. 😭
I hope the beginning and tutorial won’t be too hard to beat like it was when I first started playing on Braniac’s ship back in 2014.
I now have the free version on my switch.
I haven't played since i was like 12. Im 26 now, thanks, this really is helpful since i just started and reached level 9
Everything is so fresh and so much new content!
I started playing again after 10yrs. I then went through a struggle and discontinued my internet to cut down down on bills, after about a year I got that internet back up. Now I’m at it again. This game is a lot of fun but can be confusing as hell. 10yrs ago I never even beat the game. But now I’m hooked! Still don’t understand the whole thing about quarks & time capsules but it sounds important. I’ve been selling my time capsules man! 😤
This video is amazing 👌🏾
I played this from the beginning ... YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD NEWBIES ABOUT "CLIPPING SKILL AND NORMAL ATTACK" to cancel animation , THIS TECHNIQUE will SIGNIFICANTLY boost your DAMAGE / SUPPORT ROLE PLAYING 🤣🤣🤣
This is guaranteed to be paid to win. You must know that going in if you want to be a DPS if you care about scores and boards you're going to be paying a lot of money. Because 120 artifacts you're not going to cut it you're going to be going against people with 200s and full leakier that make this a job. So if you don't want to spend a lot of money and you're okay with not being on the top the game is good a really good game. But if you're pocket is not full this game will be very frustrating
Great video thx !
I didn’t watch the video yet but is rage a good power
Its one of the best. Definitely top tier.
What they should do is add an update where we can live our lives as our civilian identities doing normal things and activities.
And when we see crime happening you can change into your alter in ego and fight cringe
You can "kind of" do that with armories. One armory as full civilian clothing and all. Then another armory for your superhero/alter ego. Just switch between those and play pretend 😁
@@iEddyGaming Yeah but I mean doing normal activities that don't have to do with super hero stuff. Like going to a dance club with other players, work a job (in the form of a series of mini games) go to a theme park - Oh, it could be Six Flags, decorate our apartments with stuff we buy from the in game store or win in raids - we could watch entire episodes of Batman and Superman the Animated Series' on our in game TV's, or go watch entire DC animated movies in an in-game movie theater or the Watchtower with other players.
This could make it a functioning Metaverse.
But the game's engine is so old it unfortunately might not be able to accommodate all that.
Havent played this game in years...dont think I'll come back...the pay to win bs is still bad I see.
Dude, how can I make more money? Most of the items I want are at the broker and the guys sell it very expensive, most of the items are priced in the millions, this is absurd, how can I get more money to buy the items?
Nice returning from 2012 a lot has changed but the game is still immersive as ever. Gr8 content.
Imagine. The download server on dcuo is very bad. This download takes so long. I cant understand why
I haven’t played this game in about 4 years, they added so many things that weren’t there before. Might join back, if I can find my old account that is XD.
And I’m bad it amazes me that many MMO‘s don’t have any way to share items between characters except for paid a win type situations where you have to buy shared space for that purpose but DCO has two ways to do it you can mail them to that character or put them in the shared bank space I don’t understand how this isn’t like at the top of the top 5.8 miles it is it is it has so many features that are friendly even while being a free to play game with Peter win aspects it still has so many features that are friendly to the free to play environment or to the entire community really
Exactly it’s like handing civilian a loaded MP five and telling them to get all go out and use it appropriately do you have in your ear handing a person weigh overpowered character compared to what they are used to I’m expecting him to understand it it’s it’s not a great process for new people want to know the game and you want to create a new alternate that is one thing
Yeah I’m back after years and I was so lost 😅but this helped a ton thanks!🙏
How is the game not updated for 4k resolutions yet? My UI is tiny with no way to scale it, playing at 1440p is just not the proper solution.
I can attest to that I actually played the game for a while before but recently I downloaded it and logged in created new character used to the cause everybody who has I think level 40 or above character gets a free skip all the way I think the 298 or something anyway you get a gigantic leap you get all this awesome gear stuff better than anything I’ve ever had before and then I was completely fucking lost no idea what to do or where to go because it’s get me you know too far ahead it’s not worth using those skip tokens and less Shira veteran player who already knows what they’re doing and even then it’s probably not worth it for the reasons you just outline but you’re missing out on a lot of the points and not the resulting skill points
Yeah I had a 255 skip character from a while back and I asked Bentley skipped him to 310 last week and I am now in the process of building a new character almost exactly like that character to go back and do all the content which will also get me a lot of those fees that I miss but there’s the other side of it is when you skip ahead like that completes a whole bunch of contact for you and you can’t go back and do it it’s not listed anymore you can just go back and do it anyway and so you miss a lot of stuff and since I haven’t play the game for years exam logging in that one time and skipping a character I had I wanted to go back right from the start and play through it all the 1 to 30 part and actually Learn the game
Yeah I just want free to play this I mean legendary membership this weekend so that I can get the extra storage space the replay badges and access to all of the superpowers I’m not sure what else and there that I’ll find useful but mostly I wanted all the superpowers
I haven't played since the skill point over haul back in like 2017 or so. I've always wanted to get a style set as well and this video helped point me in the right direction. I've had such a hard time getting up my CR before the episodes went free for all.
I just came back to watch this video after playing for like a week to see you know if I got all the new player shit now and one thing I wanted to point out Eddie is that you’re telling people to go look at your bill videos but you’re telling new players that have no chance at either even understanding your bills or coming up with the fits to make your bill I mean your bills are for maxed out people that have three metro at least three maxed out artifacts but I have maxed out Karam here that have a really good grasp on things like car camping and clipping and get all the different canceling methods for your animations there’s no way anybody watching this video as a new player can I have any concept of what goes into one of your belt for not gonna have that gear for months at least I’ll stay here I’ll spend a boatload of money dance on the character over and over again I’ll be there come by at three Tana skip that still not gonna get them up to the level necessary to make one of your bills
I already know everything in here but I'm just enjoying on how you made this video, made it really interesting and put effort into it, awesome stuff
I also stopped like 7 years ago and am clueless thankfully they got that free 310 CR 🤣
Damn it’s so many things I did not know. I appreciate this vid man.
Haven't played in almost a decade but always wanted to come back to it cause I really enjoyed the game. Thanks for this.
Ty bro I was a little confused coming back u helped 100
Hey man pointer on sharing with other characters as you pointed out already our inventories in our banks and even the shared bank it’s always gonna be full if you need to give something to another character rather than put it in the shared bank just go ahead and send it to the other character in an email and then it won’t be taking up any inventory space until they actually except the item and you can send five items at a time can’t send cash anymore do your own characters but you can still send items
