    Superman's 80th Celebration: Breaking News

    Action Comics #1000 releases today, so we are kicking off our celebration of Superman’s 80th anniversary in DCUO with a special gift. All players will receive a Daily Planet Vending Machine for your base, so you can keep up with any news as it breaks.

    Be sure to interact with it each week for the next seven weeks to check the latest news headlines from Metropolis’ greatest paper! We have a hunch the reporters there are going to be really busy for a while. The Daily Planet Vending Machine is available in the “Redeem/Claim” tab of the Marketplace menu.

    FREE ACTION COMICS # 1000 Preview - Check out 5-page stories by Tom King & Clay Mann and Louise Simonson & Jerry Ordway.

    Also back by popular demand is everyone’s favorite superdog, Krypto! If you missed out on collecting this loveable pup during the Anniversary Event earlier this year, Krypto is now available for purchase in the Marketplace.

    Death of Superman

    The celebration for Superman's 80th Anniversary continues this May and June with the Death of Superman content arc. Tune in for a preview livestream this Friday (April 20, 2018) for a look at how the celebration's first piece of content. The livestream will begin at 12PM PT over on Twitch.

    Nice!

    Idea: It would be great if that base item could give us news on updates in-game, as not many players actually use/frequent the forums. That way any breaking news you can get in your own base.

    I'm guessing the 7 weeks of 'news' will be 7 weeks of gifts.

    Jimminy Christmas folks. The livestream hasn't even gone up yet and the servers are still down. We don't even know WHAT the event is yet and y'all are already griping!

    The Daily Planet vendor is a FREE GIFT for your base. Not "only" item for event. Not "sole" item for event. It's ON TOP OF whatever the event turns out to be.

    Y'all need to chill.

    ***Hey Mepps, if anyone doesn't want their Daily Planets, please send them to Vesper, US-PC Villain. Just sayin'. ;)

    When you look at the stuff we got for other Superheroes days like Batman and Flash even the Aquaman sruff we got when Water came out this is a big let down for an 80th anniversary.

    HOW? How *exactly* is it a "letdown" when YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS yet? You DO NOT know. All you, I, or anyone else who doesn't work for Daybreak knows at this specific moment in time is that you just got a FREE Daily Planet Vendor for your base.

    You don't know the content. You don't know the rewards. You don't know the details, the highlights, the lowlights, the story. YOU. DON'T. KNOW.

    NONE of us knows. The not-knowing is called a surprise. And the related FREE gift PRIOR to the surprise is called a teaser.

    All of y'all are whining about a TEASER.

    :rolleyes:

    Every post has been level headed.

    Just because you don't agree with people doesn't mean they need to "chill".

    As for myself, I just find it a bit disheartening when the devs announce the Superman Event is set for April but in reality the actual content won't be released until May at the earliest.

    The date for the Event has been changed from April to May and players are allowed to be unhappy with that.
