14 DAY TRIAL // DC Universe Online, Sony Online Entertainment's brand new superhero-based MMO, has just received a brand new update, the second one since its release, which aims at quickly solving some of the problems that were left unattended by the previous patch.
DC Universe Online has been launched for about two weeks, and even if the game had a full pledge beta testing stage, there are still plenty of things wrong with it.
The first update was deployed last weekend, but seeing as how some issues were still present, particularly the voice chat problems, the company has just a deployed a brand new hotfix, in order to patch things up until the next full pledged update.
Here are some of the changes included in the patch.
- Abilities: Psychic Empowerment now properly restores power. - Abilities: Performing a dodge roll will no longer dodge healing abilities. - Challenges: Power Girl now drops loot in the level 30 Challenge Mode for Storming the Ivory Tower. - Faction Rewards: Villain faction rewards now only require Marks of Allegiance and no longer require an unavailable badge type. - Feats: Any feat that requires a specific number of PvP wins should now be granted properly after the correct number of wins. - Trait Resets: If you reset traits while in a different shape change form you will no longer remain stuck in that form. - Trait Resets: All buffs cast by the player character from abilities granted by traits will now be removed when resetting traits. - Trait Resets: Resetting traits with a weapon type equipped that was earned by a trait (i.e. not the weapon type chosen at character create) will no longer continue to give the stats of the equipped weapon with no basic abilities. - Now all stats will be removed from equipped weapons for which you do not have the required trait. - In this situation, you should have the same basic punching abilities that you get if you unequip your weapon. - Purchasing the trait to grant access to that weapon type again will now restore those stats.
The fix was already deployed to US and European owners of DC Universe Online on the PlayStation 3.
