A new producer’s letter from DC Universe Online is out, and if every word of it is to be believed, then the remainder of this year is going to be bringing a lot of mechanical changes that reach all across the superhero MMO.
Among the updates and adjustments planned are an expansion of artifact slots to a total of five, updates to allies that will make them stay out longer and have a bigger impact on combat beyond being a “smart bomb” button, and improvements to pet collision, reviving players from a knocked out state, and the broker.
The post also outlines some intriguing updates to grouping as well, including a private match function that will let players take on instances with their own personal makeup of friends (or go at duos by themselves) as well as the addition of cross-faction grouping.
Finally, the second chapter of the Light and Rain story missions is scheduled to arrive in late May. The post obviously keeps most details close to vest here, but it does confirm that this chapter will take players to Mogo and involve several members of the Green Lantern Corps. As for the rest of what’s coming, timing is fluid and some features will arrive sooner than others, but players can get an overall picture ahead of time.
