According to "Live Update Notes" this is Game Update 119. Last Game Update listed was back in November and everything since was hotfixes and new episode 42. See "Live Update Notes"
Use the free stabilizers you get from the daily rewards to open capsules, save/choose quarks, buy from the vendor on discount days. Is it quick and easy? No. Is it free? Yes.
GU 119 was Legion of Doom. I assume GU 120 was Anniversary event. So today's update must be GU 121. Even if they don't always name it GU, it's still GU https://twitter.com/DCUO/status/1491554090379272192 - GU 121 https://twitter.com/DCUO/status/1480662601973469185 - "latest Game Update, Anniversary Event" https://twitter.com/DCUO/status/1469071852903489536 - GU 119 and Episode 42
I've never spent a dime on time capsules, and I have almost every feat from them lol People who say you need to pay for those things are impatient and/or lazy. You get a certain amout of stabilzers for free, you can save in-game cash and buy pretty much anything from them, AND you can now farm source marks to your hearts content (which you can exchange for quarks!)... Like you said, it can all be done for free.
Not sure how you haven't figured this out yet, but since last summer you haven't needed to subscribe in order to play the game. Free to Play has an escrow of 50k and Premium has no cash cap. The sub just gives you some extra perks, but it isn't required anymore.
DCUO needs to add additional chat moderators to the streams: they're clogged like crazy with children spewing hate and nothing but derogatory remarks. The apparently lone moderator couldn't begin to keep up with warnings and deletions.
There were so many people just reposting variants of "this is garbage!" and "when will we get [X]?" and "game is trash," and "there are never any male styles!" and other nonsense I barely even noticed the spammers.
The seasonal instance is NOT dropping the gear box that the instance description says it will. After completing the instance you are loot locked even though the gear box didn't drop. All you get for completing the instance is a cookie/emblem.
I'd imagine the Valentine's version, but no clue. It's a little irritating hoping I get into the hero version, though, unless Carol also drops it.
Ya, I just noticed today as well, that when I use a supply drop, it no longer takes some digital code entering animation forever. It's a fist to the air and supply drop landed. The simple QoL changes are great!
didnt even think about that (play only heroes atm). Hope she also drops it, otherwise i see how annoying it would be
