It's time for the main event in DC Universe Online. You're not just taking part in the Battle for Metropolis or the Battle for Gotham City or the Battle for the Local Burger Joint. No, this is the Battle for Earth, the newest DLC pack for the game, available now for all players. It's time for the war against Brainiac to reach its conclusion, and considering the setting, you can be sure the war won't be won with polite speeches and reasonable discussion.
Of course, this means a lot of new elements, such as a new powerset and a new raid. If you're not one of the Legendary players and have to choose whether or not to buy the pack, there's a new trailer available just after the cut meant to show off all the niftiness therein. And besides, can you really opt out of taking part in the battle for Earth? Your character probably lives there.
This DLC was supposed to have more open world stuff. Not sure if it did. I rolled 2 earth alts so I will be playing with those for a while. I think the next DLC is open world PVP focused. Not sure though.
@silver001 The DLC has 4 new open world dailies, 3 of them soloable. Three new duos (two of which I did tonight and enjoyed, each takes place over a city block unlike the typical linear "dungeon" instance) and a new alert. It also includes new collections in Gotham, new briefings, and includes new "green" item styles. I found Kung Fu Gui pants. Healers can now get Medieval style gear and Tanks can get Military Tech (I'm guessing Shaman for Controllers then?). It would be extremely inaccurate to say that this DLC is raid dependent. It includes raids, but that is not the same. In scope, this was bigger than the last two DLC packs combined. Between the DLC content and the increased frequency of updates, I think DCUO has really hit its stride.
I like it so far. You'd think DCUO crashed into the ocean by the grumps on the forum. And the earth power seems fun so far. Not OP like people thought.
