The Odyssey video is the best explaination of Lairs so far.
Jens your fired!
Seems all this new content is mainly for the T4 people,
since alot of stuff cost around 2000 MOT
True that the simple Lairs dont cost much but then again you want a dump?
If so why bother? Watch Odyssey video and you will see things expire after a few days
and you need to buy new, that gets costly.
I dont have Marks to just spend like that, maybe alot of T4 people do,
but I don't. so looks like the League base will be a joint effort to maintain,
otherwise not going to get one. too much busy work too much hassle kinda what I figured!
Geared for the end content T4 players.
Just another shiny new toy to distract us from asking for fixes and new powers.
Busy work to keep us pre-occupied.
Happy 2nd Anniversary!
Jan 11 2013
ended Jan 16, thanks alot DCUO for such a short reward time!
The celebration is on and we have presents for everyone. Log in and check
your Journal, because you have two celebratory trinkets and a small gift
waiting for you! Thank you again for playing DCUO.
Funny thing is some of my ideas are being used in the next few updates,
ingame money being one of them. guess they did read my suggestions.
At the moment I have ignored them concerning my name change, so far they havent persued me. so far.

ATTENTION
I MAY STOP PLAYING THIS GAME, A GM SUPERVISOR IS TRYING TO MAKE ME CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF MY TOONS, THESE NAMES ARE NOT VULGAR, MATTER OF FACT I WAS REPORTING THOSE TYPES OF NAMES AND THEY DECIDED MY DC VERSION NAME HAD TO BE CHANGED, I CONTACTED MEPPS, HE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, IF THEY WISH TO MAKE PEOPLE CHANGE DC NAMES THEN THEY WILL BE BUSY WITH OVER 200 THOUSAND PEOPLE NAMED BATMAN!
I WILL LEAVE THIS SITE UP FOR NOW, BUT I HAVE DEDICATED 12 HRS A DAY PLAYING AND OVER A YEAR, NOW IT SEEMS THEY HAVE HELPED ME DECIDED THAT THIS GAME ISNT ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS, JUST THE MAJOR MONEY.
I MYSELF SPENT NEARLY A HUNDRED BUCKS DURING THE MONTH THEY WANT ME TO CHANGE.
NOW I REFUSE TO SPEND ANYMORE ON THEM.
"RULES WITHOUT COMMON SENSE ARE MORE DESTRUCTIVE THAN NO RULES AT ALL!"
VULGAR NAMES HAVE NO PLACE IN A GAME, BUT A THEMED NAMED TOON FOR THE GENRE IN WHICH YOUR PLAYING DOES.
BEING PENALIZED FOR HELPING THE COMMUNITY DOESNT HELP ANYONE.

Announcing DCUO's Next DLC Pack, Home Turf! - 10/18/2012
Anyone who has had any contact with me about DC Universe Online knows
that I love to hint about what’s coming next. I try and drop hints, or make
clever references that get people stewing about what might be around the corner.
That is why it has been excruciatingly hard to keep my mouth shut about our next
DLC pack. Now the time has finally come when the team is ready to reveal what we
have been working on for so many months. So let’s get right to it…
The next DLC is called Home Turf, and it introduces player
housing to DC Universe Online! Now that the bat’s out of the cave – or should I
say in the cave? – let me go over some of the main features coming in Home Turf.
Player Lairs
The Lair will offer several exciting
things for players. The first is a theme. Themes give the lair a sense of
location – like a sewer or a penthouse – and anchor it to a persistent entrance
in Gotham City or Metropolis. Lairs will be fully customizable spaces. You can
collect props while playing and then use them to decorate your Lair. These items
will be tradable, creating a secondary market for players. In the coming weeks
we will reveal more information about Lair customization, themes, and props.
Mainframe and Generator
Every Lair has a
Mainframe that can be upgraded by the player. Mainframe upgrades give you access
to incredible Lair Features – like allies and technologies – which can be used
in combat throughout the game. The Mainframe abilities offer a whole new array
of tactics. Players will gain passive abilities and active powers that they can
bring to bear in battle. But don’t worry; these abilities are handled through
communication devices (trinkets), so they won’t compete with your normal super power load outs.
Generators are the power that keeps a Lair
running. By powering your generator you can set up amenities normally only found
in HQs and Safe Houses. Once you haveHome Turf, it will be up to you which
amenities and how many you want to maintain in your Lair, but the options are at
your fingertips. The team will be sharing more news on Mainframes and Generators
in the days ahead so stay tuned for more specifics.
Lair Battles
This is where Home Turf sets itself apart from normal
housing systems. Players will be able to do battle in each other’s Liars. Lair
Duels will match players up to fight. These battles will be round-based and feel
like an extended one on-one-battle inside one of the combatant’s Lairs. Nothing
is more fun than trashing someone else’s Lair to bits. But don’t worry about
protecting your priceless stuffed Wooly Mammoth, the damage is temporary and
will reset once the battle is over. You’ll really need to see Lair Battles in
action to fully understand how cool this is going to be, so we’ll have some
exciting Dev Videos in the weeks ahead.
New Missions
Home Turf introduces some new adventures in some of the
most iconic locations in the game. New missions and content have been created
for the interiors and exteriors of Ace Chemicals, Stryker’s Island, Steelworks,
and Arkham Asylum. There will be daily missions for high end players at each of
these locations. The content – inside and out – will be solo in nature. We’ll
fill you on more specifics in some features about Home Turf, so hang tight for
more details about the new daily missions.
So that is a pretty high
level breakdown of our next DLC pack, Home Turf. We look forward to
sharing more about what Home Turf has to offer. It is an exciting time to see
this hugely requested feature finally coming to DCUO. We know you’re going to
love it. We also know you will have lots of wish list features for the system,
and we’re anxious to hear your thoughts, so jump on the Forums, Facebook, or
Twitter and let us hear it. We look at Home Turf as a starting point, a
foundation to build on, for some amazing Lair content, and we can’t wait to show
you more. Until then, I’ll see you in game!
Jens Andersen
Creative Director, DC Universe Online
Eh, some may like this I would prefer to have Water powers and Air, I asked the Devs why we cant we have those and Green auras, answer was lame about lack of memory, uh what do you think is being used to make the Open world Operations?
Which Btw are crashing and now they are saying they will make boss battles a instance, they dont want to acknowledge that they have gone beyond the limits of Memory.
Right now Gotham is falling apart, some NPC's in SGotham are invisible or just silhouettes, NPC's arent taking damage, you fall thru the map again, etc, daily problems that arent being addressed, we need fixes not another bad DLC idea. True that these "Lairs" will be close off from the world but the need for fixes still remain. I would welcome this if they would fix problems instead of adding more.
SOME SNEAK IDEAS THAT ARE COMING TO DCUO
FROM THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND THE EXE PRODUCER. SHHH.
The Witching Hour
HALLOWEEN EVENT
Game Update 19
The Witching Hour is Live 10.10.12
Chaos in Gotham City!
Klarion the Witch Boy is stealing the powers of Heroes and Villains
throughout the DC Universe and using them to cause quite a bit of Halloween
mischief on the streets of Gotham City.
Apparitions of all kinds are rising from the earth and tormenting
trick-or-treaters. Heroes, it will be up to you to save the civilians, and
Villains, well, you should be able to find some way to take…advantage…of the situation.
The Midnight Masquerade!
It’s not Halloween without a great, ghoulish costume party, and Klarion
is no slouch when it comes to throwing parties. He’s taken over a club in the
city and casting spells on innocent civilians, forcing them to attend.
Whether Hero or Villain, you are going to have good reason to crash this party.
Be careful, though.
The powers Klarion has stolen are from some of the world’s most powerful
magic users, and look out for his cat, Teekl, too.
Treats!
Of course, we have treats to earn throughout the event. You’ll find new
trinkets, a new pet, and of course a ton of new Halloween-themed styles.
The Witching Hour will soon be available on the PC Test server
along with the rest of Game Update 19, and will be moving to live in early October.

•Earn the same kinds of rewards (though in lesser quantities) so you can continue to gear and grow your characters.
Role Optional Alerts
•Queue faster for Alerts and form groups with any combination of roles.
•Utilize the Team Buff to make up for whatever role or roles your group is lacking, as long as you stick together.
•If you don't have a Tank, everyone will take less damage overall.
•If you don't have a Healer, any Controller or Damage character will trigger a small amount of regeneration when your health dips
below a certain point. If you're a Tank, you'll always have some regeneration.
•If you don't have a Controller, everyone will get varying amounts of additional power periodically.
Game Update 8: Research & Development
Research & Development Since Brainiac's arrival, scientists and engineers have been working tirelessly to learn everything possible about the Exobytes Lex Luthor released into the atmosphere. Though many of the Exobytes have found their way to human hosts, more have gone dormant and begun to decay. Game Update 8: Research & Development introduces a new system, brought on by breakthroughs in nanite technology, that will allow Heroes and Villains to find and utilize these unclaimed Exobytes and create powerful Equipment Mods and Consumables.
Beginning at level 10, players can begin utilizing the Research & Development system to give them an edge in battle.
- Gather the Exobits and Exobytes scattered throughout Gotham City, Metropolis, and Central City.
- Some gear that you collect from fallen enemies will be able to be deconstructed at Research & Development stations, providing additional components.

- Find a Research & Development station in a Safe House or in the Hall of Doom or Watchtower to create your new item.
- Equipment Mods can be socketed into gear for powerful benefits, and various Consumables will lend you bonuses for short durations of time.

Green Lantern DLC
FIGHT FOR THE LIGHT IS LIVE! September 7, 2011
JOIN THE GREEN LANTERN OR SINESTRO CORPS TODAY WITH THE FIRST DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT PACK FOR DC UNIVERSE ONLINE SAN DIEGO – September 7, 2011 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) today announced the first downloadable content (DLC) pack for DC Universe Online (DCUO), “Fight for the Light” is now available. Featuring favorite DC Universe hero, Green Lantern and the introduction of the game’s seventh power set, Light, the new DLC pack is now available for download on both the PC and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
In times of great need, the Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps can give out “reservist rings” to worthy heroes or enthusiastic villains who will help restore the balance of the universe for their side; these players can be deputized into either Corps and fight alongside legendary ring-bearers. In addition to the new light power set, DCUO players will also be able to interact with characters and missions based on the Green Lantern mythos in all-new gameplay scenarios.
S.T.A.R. Labs –
Deep within S.T.A.R Labs, Brainiac seeks to create an experimental device that will allow him to harness the power of the emotional spectrum, the source behind the Lantern Corps’ rings. This attack throws the Lantern Corps into chaos, and players must join a fragile truce between the Green Lanterns and the Sinestro Corps to bring the powerful devices back under S.T.A.R. Labs’ control.
Once players have destroyed Brainiac’s destructive device, it unleashes a backlash of power, causing the Green Lanterns, Sinestro Corps and Red Lanterns to go crazy unleashing a series of attacks throughout the universe. This sudden explosion of power creates massive chaos which leads to clashes between the two sides in Coast City and on Oa, and the players are required to join the battle in order to help in restoring order to these zones.
Coast City Alert (4-player) & Duo (2-player) –
Players must battle their way through the “City Without Fear” to Ferris Aircraft, the home of ace test pilot Hal Jordan. Here they face the unbridled rage of the Red Lantern Corps in a showdown to save the city and the Universe.
Sciencells Prison –
On the Green Lantern Corps’ home planet Oa, heroes will join Guy Gardner to stop a prison break that threatens to release the most fearsome prisoners of the Green Lantern Corps. Villains will fight alongside Sinestro as he attempts to release the Green Lantern Corps’ greatest foes and retrieve the evil Lyssa Drak from her emerald-powered prison cell.
Green Lantern offers another exciting superhero for PC and PS3™ players to join forces with in their epic battles online, following DCUO’s ongoing combat missions featuring DC Comics legends such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Mystic Bowsman, The Joker and Lex Luthor.
