I wonder how the dlc thing applies to those of us who got the dlc when it was released free before f2p went live. Do we keep it once we downgrade to premium or do we lose it?

Did you have to buy it of was it just an update? If you bought it you keep it, if not you'll probably lose it. And any chars what use the light power set will probably be locked.
We keep the DLC. We don't lose it. Cos we are loyal players, we got it for free, we keep it for free. This I believe only applies to Legendary players like myself. I have light power villain and she is not locked nor are her powers gone.

Update 6 released earlier today:
Combat Rating / Item Level! These are two statistics that have existed under the hood that we are now making public! Each item has an “Item Level” that roughly indicates the power of the item. When worn together, your “Combat Rating” is a measure of your total effectiveness in combat and is based on the weighted average of the best equipment you own per slot. This means your Combat Rating improves as you earn better gear. Players can find their Combat Rating under the Stats section in their Inventory. The tougher Hard Mode Alerts will now have a minimum Combat Rating that must be met before you can queue for them.
New Raid! Defeat Zod to regain control of the Sunstone Crystal Matrix! Queue for the Fortress of Solitude: Sunstone Matrix under the Raids section in your On Duty menu. Combat Rating: 53

That may be, but at least I avoided the 'what are they, can't view from work' questions this way 
. With that said, it looks like they nerfed fire tanks (again 
) even if the trade off for it is better scaling of self heals (which frost now got as well) :S.

Fire tanks have indeed been nerfed again. Never a better time to get an ice tank going. Since removing the defense cap, my ice tank has a defense of 2900+ with no buffs added. Previous to that it fell short of 2800. Depending on the weapon I used tho. I need a set of tank dual wields with the same defense (130) as my tank staff. I use the dual wields for faster hits.
I tried out FOS3 last night on a number of occasions. Couldn't finish it cos we kept getting wiped, but one group not only completed it, they went back in and beat the time feat. Completed it in 17mins 31secs. The time to beat is 30mins. So, you need a very well geared group (each player must have a combat rating of 56 or higher), watch out for the Kryptonian Medics. They do AOE attacks, you need keep ranged when taking on them. Cos once they pop up their red shield and you get caught in it, you are done for. Then take out the Kryptonian Snipers and then Infantries.
The way FOS 3 works is in the same ways Oan Sciencells T2 alert. Pretty much the enemies will come to you. But you need to be at a distance. When Non appears, keep your DPS guys on the Sentries. They need to be taken down quickly. Also either a Medic, Sniper or Infantry will appear too. If it's a Medic, take them down quickly. Sniper same thing, but Infantry is the least to worry about. There will be about 3 waves of Sentries when taking out Non. Do not take out Non until you've finished the 3rd wave of Sentries. Or at least take out the Sentries then hit Non for all you got before the Sentries appear again.
Ursa is a little tricky. Cos the Sentries that appear are all about being close up to you doing melee damage. So again, you need to keep your distance. This is why 2 tanks (ice preferably) are needed. Try and keep your distance but also watch your surroundings for any Medics or Snipers that spawn up.
As I said, I didn't get to finish it, so I don't know what it's like for Zod, but I am sure it's the same for each one.
So here's what you need to remember:
Take 2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 controllers and 2 dps (all need to be highly geared and the dps in particular have to dish out a ton of damage)
There will be 3 waves before Non appears. Wave 1 consists of 1 Medic, 1 Sniper and 1 Infantry. Take them down in that order. Wave 2 will consist of 2 each. 3rd wave will consist of 3. So Medics down first, then Snipers, then Infantries. Remember when Medics get their red shield around them, ROLL AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN OR YOU WILL GET HIT ONE TIME!
When Non appears, have one tank keep him busy, the other tank takes on the Sentries and any Medic or Sniper that appears. As I said, Infantries don't dish out that much damage, so you can leave them alone.
When Ursa appears, STAY RANGED from the Sentries.
And for Zod, no doubt it'll be tougher, but follow the same strat and all should be fine.
Good hunting.

That going to be the new healer power set, correct? WTB new set for tanks so I can switch out of fire without losing my skill points (or buff fire to be in line with ice god damn it!) =/
Yes, the lightning/electricity is the new power set. If you ask me, I would roll up a new character first. Get to know the powers, and once done, then switch whichever character you want to switch afterwards. That's what I'll be doing
Associate
That's all well and good but as lightning is going to be a healer set i'm still stuck in fire until they either:
A) let you change your power set into whatever you want or
B) roll out the next tanking set (earth?)
A) let you change your power set into whatever you want or
B) roll out the next tanking set (earth?)
TBH, there's still a debate as to what the lightning power set is actually going to do. There is mention of it being able to heal, but I think it relates to just your own character as opposed to the entire team you are grouped with. They have said there will be new moves along with the new power set (which is normal lol), but not much is explained further about healing. But like I said, when they do bring out the DLC, roll a new character first before you decide to switch cos this time THERE WILL NOT BE A RESPEC TOKEN TO SWITCH BACK TO YOUR OLD POWER SET AS THEY DID WITH LIGHT!!
As for earth, that's the next power set after lightning and yes it's for tanks. Still no idea when that is due out. But given light came out a few months ago and lightning is due next month, I would say roughly March 2012.

Have been playing this for a week or so. Got a level 9 villain mental/circe/acrobat/dual-wield char and a lvl 6 hero fire/superman/flight/two-handed.
Enjoying it so far, but it has been all about the quests. Had a few 1v1s whilst questing though. Have won everyone so far.
Any one know of any *very* casual guilds about? I play at most a few late nights a week.

i read in this thread somewhere about how to become a vet member and also what DLC was worth it, does anyone know? could it have ben the joker dlc?
There isn't a Joker DLC. There is currently a Green Lantern DLC and next month sees the release of the Flash DLC. Both of which will cost around £10. If you are free player and you pay more than £5 (or $5 even), you are Premium for life. So you get the DLC and some of the extra stuff that come with Premium.
So if you want to get a new DLC, even tho you are Premium, you will have to pay for that new DLC.
Now if you pay £15 a month, that gives you Legendary access. Which basically means everything that comes with, including all future DLCs for free.
Ok so I watched the latest DCUO Webcast last night. They have announced that the new DLC will be released Tues 6th Dec. They explained more about the new electricity power set and how it works for healers as well as dps. There's going to be new bounties throughout Metropolis, Gotham and of course Central City. We're getting new T2 duos as well. New marks called Marks Of Momentum (MoM to be precise lol) which will get us Black Lightning (heroes) or Zoom (villains) style armour.
A lot of other stuff was mentioned. But best to wait for the patch notes next week for more info.
Other than that, I am quite excited to see how this goes. Thank god I created a new character for this so I can test it out.

With Premium acess you get an extra character slot, extra inventory slots, extra bank slots and I think Vault access goes from 1 day a week to 3 days a week. Cash limit is also increased too I believe.
Best bet (as I keep telling people and I am pretty much bored of saying it) check the DC Universe Online official site itself
