THINGS I
WISH I
KNEW
WHEN I
STARTED
PLAYING
DCUO!!!
UI/CONTR
OLS
1) Use the Mouse-wheel
during the Character
Creation process to see
all the options. Scroll bars
were apparently recently
added, but the Mouse-
wheel also works great.
2) You don't have to hit

"E" if you use a mouse.
You can just click both
mouse buttons at any npc
or item that is "E"
interactive.
3) Slash
commands...there aren't
a lot ingame yet, but
here are the ones posted
so far (you can hit "o" to
get to the chat window):
/say - Say something

to anyone in your local
area
/s - Same as /say
/groupsay - Say
something to members of
your group
/group - Same as
/groupsay
/g - Same as
/groupsay
/party - Same as
/groupsay
/p - Same as
/groupsay
/tell [name] - Send a
private message to
another person (use
quotes around names
with a space)
/t - Same as /tell
/reply - Send a
private message to the
last person that sent you
a private message
/r - Same as /reply
/shout - Shout a

the same region (like say
but broader)
/invite [name] -

those in your same
league

a friend to your friends
list
Kithkarnon has posted a

more detailed list of chat
commands here.
4) Regarding Costumes:
 Costumes are
unlocked each
time you equip an
item or use a
costume token.
Using the token
will 'destroy' the
token, but it
unlocks the
costume in your
'style' tab. You do
NOT have to have
an item equiped
in order to see it
on your
character. Once
the piece is
unlocked you can
change your look
via the style tab.
 When you hit
"esc", if you click
on the "mask"
"style tab" at the
bottom menu bar,
you can change
your look without
changing the
stats of what you
are wearing. The
"look" of items is
dependent on
what items
you've collected
and equiped so
far. You can sell
any item you
have previously
equiped and still
keep the "look"
as an option (so
you can go to a
vendor, buy all
the gear, equip it,
then sell it back
losing a little bit
of cash and add
all those "looks"
to your options).
 You can now lock
or unlock your
costume choices.
If you do not
want gear
changing the way
your character
currently looks,
you can use the
'lock all' button at
the top of the
style tab. If you
want to change a
piece of gear later
on however, you
must unlock your
costume, equip
the piece, and
then lock again
(just to be safe)
in order for it to
appear on your
character.
5) You can change the

color your costume and
player at
anytime. [Added
1/12/11]
Just go into your style tab

(see #4) and click on the
icon next to each gear
type to bring up the color
change menu for that
item.
 To change your
player colors,
including skin,
eyes, hair &
make-up, just
click on the 2nd
tab of the style
tab.
6) Pressing the Shift key

will release you from
being crowd controlled
(most of the time), as
well as provide you with a
couple of seconds of
immunity.
7) If you hold the Shift

key and a strafe
movement key, you will
do a rolling dodge in that
direction.
8) F9 takes a screenshot.
You can change your
settings if you want the
screenshot to show the
UI or not (default is not
showing the UI). Images
are saved to your game
folder to your "My
Documents" Folder.
Pathing on my computer
looks like:
\My Documents\My
Games\DC Universe
Online\DCGame [updat
ed 1/12/11]
9) Hovering over a gear

item in your inventory,
via a quest reward offer
or via a vendor will now
tell you the set type and
whether you've collected
it yet as a style item.
10) Auto-run is available

at all levels, in or out of
movement mode.
To auto run on the

mouse/keyboard, press
"num lock."
To auto run on the
controller, press and hold
the left thumbstick.
Every movement mode
allows you to purchase a
"level up" to your auto-
run speed via the skill
tree, but you can still
auto-run without it.
Note: you can't engage
auto-run while in the
slower combat movement
mode (i.e., if you've been
attacking or have been
attacked within the last
few seconds).
11) Pressing the "R" key

works the same way as
the "Shift" key.
12) During the openning

movies, you can hold
down ESC to skip past
them. During the
cutscenes after boss
fights, you can hold down
the LEFT mouse button
(or whatever is the
equivilant on your
controller), to skip
it. [added 1/18/11]
13) You can cancel a race

by hitting '/'. You don't
have to finish it or let
enough time pass if you
wish to end the race
early. [added 1/19/11]

rom101
POWERS/ABILITIES
Player
1) Don't fly through doors...just don't...
2) Something I learned because of #12. If you get stuck anywhere,

just use your map (M) warp buttons to port yourself out of that
stuck spot.
3) In acrobatics, to use the Grapple line climb abilities mount a wall

and press and hold SPACE to zip up a wall. To use the grapple wall
be near a wall and hit space to grapple and pull yourself to it while
falling. To use the auto move abilities move forward and hit
NUMLOCK.
4) With acrobatics, you can double jump by pressing jump again

while in the air. If you hold jump down on the second tap, you
glide. Tapping spacebar a third time with the crosshairs on any
climbable object within aggro range will shoot a zipline and take
you to that location. [updated 1/13/11]
Joined: Dec 20, 2010 5) In combat, your energy recharges and your supercharge meter
Messages: 778 fills up based on your combo. The higher your hit counter, the
Offline faster they fill. Your supercharge meter currently appears as a
colored overlay on your hotbar'd supercharge powers. This is not
final, and will be replaced with a real meter eventually.
6) You can switch roles using "T", these can be configured in the
Loadouts screen. Note: Some loadouts are for
illusions/transformations, to get to these you have to use specific
abilities. You can hit "P" to change your loadouts by dragging
powers around.
7) Might increases the damage of your powers. DPS and Precision

increase the damage of your abilities and weapon attacks.
8) Pet commands:
To summon: Activate the ability like you would any other

To change tactics from aggressive to passive or back: Activate the
ability again while the pet is summoned
To dismiss the pet: Hold the button for the ability until the pet goes
away
9) You can enter flight mode by holding down the spacebar instead
of hitting "F" (if you have the flying travel form). I believe you can
activate the other travel modes the same way.
10) Enemies who are trapped by Encasement control effects

(freezing, stasis field, etc) can only be damaged by certain powers
-- specifically, ones that say they do heavy damage to Encased
enemies in the power description. Normal attacks and powers will
not cause any damage, and will in fact break the Encasement
faster.
11) Current Stats & Descriptions that effect powers, abilities and
weapon attacks.
Note: These are found by going to your inventory tab (i) and
clicking on the stats tab.
Health:Health measures the amount of damange you can take

before being knocked out. Enemy attacks can reduce your health.
You automatically begin regenerating health when you leave
combat.
Power: ower is required to use super abilities and is drained as
they are preformed. Power is recovered quickly when using weapon
attacks to drive up the hit counter. Power returns slowly when out
of combat.
Defense: Defense reduces the damage received by attacks made
by non-player enemies.
Might: Might increases the damage caused by super powers.
Restoration: Restoration increases the potency of all health
recovery effects you activate.
Vitalization: Vitalization increases the potency of all Power
recover effects you activate.
Precision: Precision adds to the base damage caused by all
weapon attacks.
Toughness: Toughness reduces the damange you receive from
attacks made by enemy players.
Dominance: Dominance makes your control effects such as stuns
harder to escape. Dominance increases the damage an enemy
must take before control is broken.
12) Stat Formulas
Precision: 10 Precision = +1 Weapon DPS

Might: 4 Might = +1% increase in base damage or healing
Restoration: 4 Restoration = +1% increase in base amount
healed
Vitalization: 4 Vitalization = +1% more power generated by any
effects you cause
Dominance: 2 Dominance = +1 additional damage an enemy
must take before control is broken
Defense/Toughness: As you gain levels more
Defense/Toughness is required to maintain the same protection.
Roughly 15 Defense at level 1 and 71 Defense at level 30 = +1%
more damage prevention.
There are hard caps but you shouldn't be able to reach them. They
are more or less just there in case the devs flubbed up somewhere.
13) passive bonuses available in the weapon trees are ALWAYS

ACTIVE. You don't need to be using a 1-Handed weapon to get the
Precision bonus. If you buy a box you get that bonus no matter
what weapon you're using.
14) Certain select powers require the meter to be at a set level

(full, half, etc.) before they can be used. The icons for these
powers is grayed out if there is insufficient Supercharge, and they
have a coloured outer ring that fills as you gain Supercharge. Once
the ring is full the icon is no longer grayed out, and the power can
be used. Mouse over the various power types to see if they require
50 to 100% of your full supercharge meter. The Supercharge Bar
(and the Power Bar) is filled through the standard attack combo
counter.
15) You do NOT get your designated second role/loadout until level
10. After that you can use "T" to switch roles outside combat.

MISSIONS/INSTANCES/
rom101
Player COMBAT/LEVELING
1) Make sure to click on all the investigation items before you leave
an instance. You may not be able to get back in later until after you
hit 30 or unless you have a mission still inside that instance.
2) Repair after you complete a series of missions, especially if you

get knocked out a lot. Nothing feels worse then getting to a boss
only to see that "your gear is broken" message.
Joined: Dec 20, 2010 3) When you get to a mission zone, fly around the area and look
Messages: 778 for secondary side quests (a "?" on your mini map). Most will have
Offline something to do with that current mission and you can end up
getting more XP just completing your main mission.
4) Level 30 is the current level cap for Heroes and Villains. Once
you hit that level, you get a new mission to see your mentor. That
leads you on a quest series that activates the ability to access end
game content (raiding and such).
5) Green Investigation items (outside of an instance) are normally

around the quests zones so while looking for the secondary quest
givers (Noramlly 1 or 2 at each area but not always) look for the
Green symbols.
6) If you can't re-find a side quest giver, go into your journal and
activate the side quest so you get the directional arrow on your
mini map. You can later go back in and re-activate your main
mission.
7) After the majority of boss fights, there is a path to a quick exit

that opens up. You don't have to run all the way back to the
beginning to get out. Just look at your mini map.
8) World bosses are often in the lvl appropriate quest areas so

watch it while doing them.
9) You can reset any instance (before the last boss is defeated) by
logging out of the game. This will put you back outside the instance
with it reset.
10) Group sizes: Solo, Duo, 4-man and 8-man
11) The Skull and Red Arrow means that a near by enemy is
readying a powerful attack...good time to block or dodge (covered
in the turtorial, but good to remember).
12) Regarding Quest Credit...Everyone who has contributed to an

encounter gets credit for all secures or deliveries.
 If you need to KO + secure some guys and someone comes

up and secures one while you're fighting the other, you
BOTH get credit for it!
 If there's an object you need to deliver. But there's an NPC
guarding it. While you're fighting that NPC, someone grabs
the object and delivers it. You BOTH get credit for the
delivery.
 If there's an encounter with a KO, a secure and a delivery
and you're fighting the KO and two other guys come up and
do the secure and the delivery, guess what? That's right,
you get credit for both the delivery and the secure.
 If there are three NPCs and a secure. Two people KO one
guy, three other people KO the second and a lone guy
number six KOs the third. Meanwhile a seventh hero does
the secure. All seven people get secure credit and the ones
that helped KO a guy get a single KO credit a piece.
13) Completing investigations automatically sends you Mail that

appears to show no gear attachment. If you "take attachment" you
will still get the gear reward (check your inventory).
14) If you leave an instance to join an alert that you were queued
for, when the alert completes will be ported back outside the
instance with it reset. This may be true for other queued items. You
do not reset the instance by queing for an alert or pvp, just by
joining them once called.
15) Combat Controls:
Left and right mouse buttons for melee and ranged combo attacks.
1-6 keys to activate your super powers.
7 to use consumables.
8 to use trinkets.
Left-shift to block and breakout (hold shift + WASD to dodge)
Left-ctrl to gather loot.
Tab to hard lock your current target.
Tab / Q for cycle left and right through targets once you have hard
lock.
C to Clear your hard lock.
16) Roles: (Credit for this goes to RONIN13 over in the PS3
forums. Thank you sir!)
"Powers determine "roles" (jobs/class). Fire and Ice are Tank roles.
Gadgets and Mental are Controller roles. Magic and Nature are
Healer roles. Every class has a "damage" role. That is the default
dps role. So anyone can DPS. A Tank's job is the same here as in
any other MMO. He draws enemies to him and take the hits for the
team. Healer heals. Controller's hold enemies via stuns and what
have you. Controllers keep too many enemies from swarming the
group. Controllers also have a few powers to replenish the group's
power bars.
Anyone CAN dps. How much you do is up to you. But you can only
be Damage Role (DPS) or Tank/Controller/Healer Role at one time,
not both. At level 10 you get stances.
Your powers work a bit differently when you're in

Tank/Controller/Healer role. Make sure to read the descriptions of
each power carefully and note the differences.
When grouped up it is advisable to switch out of the Damage role

and into your Tank/Controller/Healer role. The three roles were
made with synergy in mind. Having 4 people in damage role in an
Alert is not well advised. You may be able to power through it, but
you're more likely a lot better off playing your role and acting as a
team. This becomes crucial at level 30 for raids."
As mentioned previously, hit 'T' to change your roles.
 Fire is Damage
 Shield is Tank
 Plus is Healer
 Diamond is Controller
Note: This can not be done in combat.
17) A few tips for PvP
 Tank counters Controller

 Controller counters Healer
 Healer counters Tank
As for Combat -
Blocks countered by Block breakers
Block breakers countered by Lunges
Lunges countered by Block
Ranged avoided by Dodge roll
Dodge roll countered by Lunge
Every hold and stun is countered by tapping block
Hold and stun break costs energy so must be used
carefully, or you end up with no energy and dead.
And a really great place to learn everything you wanted to know

about PvP in this game - Thanks going out to Lokai for all his hard
work:http://forums.station.sony.com/dcuo...m?topic_id=9969

1) On the Watch Tower, there are consoles in the place formally
call the Habitat that you can respec with. The best way I've found
to get to them is traveling from the Tech wing to the Meta wing or
vice versa.
2) Teleport portals for Gotham are in the tech wing. Teleport

portals for Metropolis are in the meta wing (pretty obvious, but
didn't click right away they were by wing). It is the same for the
Watch Tower and Hall of Doom.

potions (healing/mana). The initial portals in the Meta and Tech
Messages: 778 wings have vendors just outside the door. One sells potions.
Offline
4) Your map contain 2 buttons on the bottom left where you can
teleport to the nearest rally point or teleport directly to the
watchtower. Cooldown for Rally teleport is just about 8 minutes.
Cooldown for HQ teleport is 1 hour.
GENERAL/OTHER
1) Itemization Coloring:
Gray = not useful to you; sell it to a vendor

White = okay, but has no stat bonuses
Green = has good stat bonuses
Blue = has really good stat bonuses
Purple = has really, really good stat bonuses
Orange = Legendary
2) Regarding clickable "?" item in the World Environment
Collectible item = Yellow

Investigation item = Green
Brief = Blue
3) During Beta not all audio voices are in game yet. Many NPCs will
have wrong voices until the actual voices are added to the
game...This explains why Supergirl sounded over-dosed on
Testosterone. I'm happy to report this appears fixed. Please report
if you find any voices overs missing ingame.
4) Falling does no damage. It doesn't matter how high you fall

from, you will take no fall damage ingame. One fun thing to do is
fly up really high and turn off your flight ability (f) and just fall to
earth. The devs decided it wasn't very epic to die ingame via
falling.
5) Badge Types:
Distinction - earned thru 8 man raids, used to buy "t2" iconic

armors (note that just because it queues under the raid tab doesn't
mean it's a raid)
Triumph - earned thru duos and 4 mans, used to buy "t1" iconic
armors
Victory - earned thru pvp arena, used in conjunction with pvp cash
to buy iconic pvp armor
Courage - earned thru pvp Legends, used in conjunction with pvp
cash to buy pvp weapons and armors from the high level
PD/Nightclubs
6) Pre-Order bonus items...once you have entered your code to

your account via dcuniverseonline.com or soe.com, your pre-order
items can be retrieved ingame by hitting "ESC", then hitting the
store icon (bottom right). You click on the item, and hit claim. So
far in my tests of 7 items, all items are available to all
characters...this could be different for some items.
7) HOW TO LEAVE A LEAGUE: Open up the menu, go to the social

tab and find your name. There is an option to 'leave league' there.
8) Regarding Costume choices...you don't start with everything

unlocked; you get basics via the character customization, and then
you have to acquire the rest of the gear in-game.
9) Double Vault Visit...When you hit lvl 6, Ambush Bug gives you
a mission to visit his Vault. This first visit actually allows you to
visit TWICE in 24 hours. Hit "Y" and click on "Vault" to do a vault
run. After you finish, equip the consumable ticket that the Ambush
Bug gives you via accepting his quest. Order does not matter. Until
the marketplace starts selling vault tickets, this is the only time I
know of that you get a double visit. [added 1/24/11]

Note this is one of the level 30 daily mission areas. There are level
30 and level 30 elites that wander around the island in places so
please be careful going to any or these locations.

Brainic forces so there is a ton of specail elite level 30s roaming
down there.

Another heavly bottled area with a post 30 elite mob area this one is
the heroes.
The darkness of Gotham really takes something away from the
Cathedral Sqaure but still one of the nicer areas to vist and complete
free of mobs.

I want to take a moment and note here. The area around the spire
has a lot of nice ground areas I just opt'd not to take shots of them
to save time. But do check it out sometime.

Fore warning this zone is vary busy with mobs from both sides. The
middle of the map is where the Latern Corps are fighting and part of
the Ring War event so be mindful of those.
