This players vain attempt to try and make some sense of the crazy adventures of Controllers in DCUO, how they work, how you can be at better controller and how you can keep your team from sending the controller crawling under the desk or screaming into the night. Brought to you by my friends over at The Society “USPC server league” and Iceman2537.
I know it not possible to keep all the groups power bars full all the time. Because tank armor has a very low power score and DPS’s tend to burn through their power quickly.
Dear visitor, this guide is outdated. BOLTARON4 is writing a new one at the moment, and we hope to release his new guide soon.
This map is made from collections found in the Normal version. I don’t think there is a difference between the normal and hard mode versions.
Orange squares are collections that are INSIDE BUILDINGS, and the red one is an unconfirmed one that I thought I saw once, but never found when creating the map. You will find collection pieces for the RAREST OF MATERIALS and the SCIENCE SQUAD EXPERIMENTS collections.
Remember: You will probably spend HOURS finishing your collections here, so BE PREPARED!
Since looking at a square on the map doesn’t tell you the whole story, I will give a little more of a geographical location for them, especially for the ones w/o a landmark to help.
No matter if you are a new or a veteran DCUO player, you have probably got lost many times and end up in one of Watchtower’s multilevel wings. In this map are incorporated a lot of information you may often need, like where to find teleport locations, missions, gear vendors and much much more.
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to RedDragon74 for collecting all information and making this guide. We think this will be extremely helpful for all of the DCUO community members and we hope you will enjoy it.
In Game Update 9: Assemble for Battle Heroes and Villains will have more opportunities to group up faster and get the team buff or to play Novice Raids, including all three Fortress of Solitude, the Batcave, and the Kahndaq, adjusted for players at your gear or skill level.
Official Statement:
Two of the exciting features we’re rolling out for Game Update 9 are Role Optional Alerts and the Team Buff. We have metrics that show us who is queuing for what, how long they’re waiting, and a number of other really useful things. As I’m sure you know when you queue for a Duo, you tend to get in and are able to start playing right away. Alerts are a different story, especially for those of you queuing for the damage role.
It has nothing to do with Duos only requiring two people. It’s that they require any two people. As is common in a lot of MMOs, there is a population disparity between the different roles. There are as many players queuing for Damage as there are all the other roles combined. Healers are the least common, followed by Tanks, and finally Controllers. So the end result is Healers don’t wait long at all, but Damage tends to wait much longer.
All Alerts are now role optional. Generally it shouldn’t take much more than a few minutes for an Alert queue to pop regardless of your role, assuming there are enough people willing to play that Alert. When the matchmaking system tries to form a group out of the pool of queued players it tries to form a balanced group first. As minutes pass, the system becomes increasingly less picky about finding a specific role for a given group slot.

Jens Andersen, Creative Director DCUO, announced today that Valentine’s Day event and feats will not be available this year because they don’t meet quality standards. The team will be focusing on four major events: Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall. Each of these events will have open world components and a boss fight at a minimum: Boss fights to Summer, Winter, and Spring, and open world content to Fall. There will be new things to do and new items to collect.
For all of you who were concerned about the Angelic Back don’t worry it is already added to GU9 as a drop. The Valentine’s Day feats will not show up as of the next update until they relaunch the content. The feats will not be taken away if you have them already.

The following tip-tricks and hints are made by Iceman2537 and his friends over at The Society “USPC server league”. The main purpose of this guide is to help all the green 30’s to get the marks needed for better gear so they can get in to the harder alerts raids and missions.
ALWAYS clear the rooms the apes will follow if you don’t kill them, especially in the room where you free the encased humans. Yes you can trigger the door as soon as you enter the room but the trash and the Pounders will follow behind you if you try to bulldoze past.
When fighting Two face and his goons use lots of AoE and spread attacks. That way you are doing damaging to all three of them at the same time. Don’t let heads heal them. I like to use duel pistons on full auto it damages all three of them and it will keep heads from healing them. During the Mr. Freeze fight freeze covers himself in a frost bubble He can NOT be hurt in this thing instead you should just block. If he hits you when in the bubble and you’re blocking it will knock him down. Meaning he can’t attack you. Once his suite is damaged he calls in reinforcements take out the engineer FIRST, he will heal Mr. Freeze then take out the rest of the reinforcements and resume attacking Mr. Freeze.
