It seems like it took forever but DC Universe Online finally received its first expansion pack this past Tuesday and as far as expansions are concerned, what better place to start off than with something that everyone has been clamoring for? Green Lantern and Sinestro Corp Hardlight Rings!
I've had a chance to play the new expansion and I have to say that it's a blast! Of course it has its flaws as far as with its power over time attacks and etc but this expansion plus the server merge was a much needed shot in the arm of our beloved game. The constructs are fun to use and the supercharges really wreck shop. The unique way that the developers decided to use the powers are definitely different and a very creative nod to their drive to make this game better.
The new alert definitely beat out the old ones. My favorite out of all of them has to be Ferris Aircraft and the fight against all the Red Lanterns. This one was definitely a blast and you could tell there was a lot of thought put into it. I'm really looking forward to more new content and hopefully the next expansion won't be 7 months down the line. As much fun as the new Hardlight powers are, the game is still lacking in the "Powers" department. We need more variety. We need a Lightning, Earth, some type of purely based Energy powers, and a purely Super strength or Might based powerset. We all know these are somewhere down the line but hopefully we won't have to wait that long. What do you guys think? Are you enjoying the new powers? Do they suck? Let us know and let the discussion begin!
