DLC 6 - Home Turf (lairs)

[Bard]

DLC 6 is slated to go Live on January 29th. With the way things are going it may well end up being that it, the new Valentine's content and Update 23 (Fire and Ice power updates) all go live at the same time (or very, very close to it). To get a little taste of some of the nifty bonuses you get from having a base, check out my video from the Test server: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpCpD7OA ... e=youtu.be

The little guy dressed in black and using dual pistols is my Sidekick (a trinket item, lasts for about a minute). After I destroy the crystal, the spear of light that comes down is the Orbital Strike. After that, the 4 glowing balls is the Supply Drop. All 3 are at max level (4). Not pictured is the Backup (3 NPC's dressed base on your lair's theme). They don't do as much damage as your sidekick, but there's three of them to occupy more enemies (this is going to make PVP matches look like gang wars =P). I'll post the notes when they are published.

Home Turf DLC Pack Now Available!


Player Bases
Legendary members and owners of Home Turf receive two Lair Themes: “Gothic” and “Deco”, and a Theme for a smaller, limited “Dive” Hideout available in the Dispenser. Look for “Home is Where Your Base Is” in your Mission Journal. Complete the mission to receive one Deed which can be used for placing a base at an in-game address of your choice. The mission is granted at level 12 or higher.

Base Decoration Mode & CustomizationPlayers are able to customize their Base in many different ways using the Base Decoration Mode. Accessed via the Control Panel located near the entrance of your base, Decoration Mode is the place for arranging items throughout the Base, customizing the colors of certain areas of the Base, selecting the player’s Emblem to be displayed on a wall plaque, and renaming the Base. Players can customize their Base(s) by adding items found throughout DC Universe Online.

Base Mainframe and Dispenser
Each Base comes equipped with a Mainframe and a Dispenser that can be accessed inside your base. Players can unlock and gain access to Upgrades and temporary Boosts by activating the Mainframe’s Generator power cells. Players can also set Permissions through their Mainframe to allow friends and League mates to enter and help decorate their Base.

Tactical Mods
Tactical Mods are available through your Base’s Dispenser. Tactical Mods can be socketed to your gear and weapons to add a wide range of combat benefits. Level Requirement: 30

Upgrades and Boosts
Players can access Upgrades and temporary Boosts from their Mainframe. These Upgrades and Boosts can be added to your Utility Belt and ability bar to call in Orbital Strikes, Supply Drops, Sidekicks or Back-Up (Heroes) and Accomplices or Henchmen (Villains).

New Weapon Styles and Gear Sets

Four new gear styles and two new weapon sets inspired by Home Turf added!

I spent just over 8 hours going through this yesterday and really can't express how much fun the missions, the lairs and the new 1v1 matches are (complete with cut scenes that are pretty sweet).
