    Today I had to go to work still hungover from partying all weekend for my birthday.
    It was humid and hot all day.
    I worked through lunch.
    This chick that likes me at my job got overly forward and took it to a new level of harassment today by demonstrating splits and twerking.
    I spent 1 hour having to explain the industry etiquette to this new guy who thinks hes hot stuff because he knows a few producers.
    I came home to find my cat threw up in the living room.
    The $1600+ Nordic Track we ordered arrived with a broken screen and has to be replaced.
    I logged on DCUO Forums to learn that there is a searchable database for our statistics being shared publicly like most the MMO's I played in the past yet never liked, and was happy DCUO was different.

    The app...

    What I like:
    1. I can be nosey and look up numbers on other people
    2. I can see the exact start date of all my characters
    3. I can look up all my fellow forum posters and get really really deep in their virtual personal space.
    4. I can use this for comparison when creating new characters instead of a notepad and pen like I've done the last 3.5 years.
    5. I have over 20 characters, every little bit of tech to help me organize them is nice.
    What I don't like:
    1. I feel naked and all your eyes are groping my beautiful numbers.
    2. I don't like that it doesnt show last instance played or mission run.
    3. I don't like being removed from the choice of whether other players get to know more about me, whether they actually play the game or not.
    4. I don't like it being even easier for character copy trolls to copy a players character.
    5. I don't like how this information is being used negatively already, even if hidden behind a subtle joke/jab post at another's dislike.
    6. I don't like that I can already see the "You've only played ___ hours" "You only have __ SP/CR" exclusions evolving.
    7. I don't like that it doesn't show money owned.
    8. I don't like how much time I've wasted yet enjoyed playing a video game, instead of doing something much more productive.
    9. I don't like that because the approval of the app is so much larger than the disapproval, it slowly turns any opposition into a 'lets insult the outsiders' talk.
    10. I feel that we already had a large enough issue with people looking at just numbers as judgement tools. Now we have a Judgement Search Bar.


    However, none of you should quit the game due to this. That is not a good look for anyone.

    This wasn't done by the developers. All they did was open up the information to be used like the do with their other games... Although this may give them ideas for their app eventually.

    I have some crazy thought that has been bothering me since I first saw this. As one of the people that was here for the hack in 2011 I'm paranoid about stuff being out there that most had no idea about. I know SOE/PSN have upgraded their security tremendously since then but nothing ever seems safe.

    There's a bunch that never visit the forums that have no idea that someone, somewhere, is inspecting them not the way they think they are. Isn't that just a little worrisome?

    Aloha DC!

    First of all thanks for all the support and feedback!! I'll quickly give you guys an update on the last change I just deployed, then I'll go back to the beginning of the thread to answer the questions. I may not play the game for awhile now... HEH :)

    Today I got a lot of feedback from non-USPS players on Twitter so I just added support for browsing characters in all worlds. For backwards compatibility, if you have bookmarked any urls like /characters/Bytecode, the app will permanently redirect those to /worlds/usps/characters/Bytecode by default, as originally only USPS was supported. For new searches, an option has been added to the UI so you can select different worlds, and when you come back it should remember your last selection.

    Please post any feedback to this thread, I've watched it and will try to reply as much as time allows me :)

    I hear that all the cool kids are popping trinkets and VI colas and then logging off.

    Thanks for bringing this up, it should seem confusing to you due to different timezones (yours and the app server). I'll include the game TZ info (Pacific Time) on next update.

    Originally it was showing friends like other social networks so you could keep browsing friends of friends, but I see it's not showing anymore so I believe SOE Census revoked access due to DCUO privacy policy?

    Maybe someone from SOE DCUO here can confirm?

    Thank you!

    I do not have to redo my sig!

    One cool thing is you could add active players for each server on front page.

    Not sure when this updates and how often.

    Now that it's supporting all worlds, it has tabs to switch context between worlds. Kinda funny to see your mirror in other worlds... :)

    What other info can you get? Is there stuff like healing out to date, damage in to date, power out to date, and damage out to date? Some of that might be nice to show if it's available?
  17. Bytecode Well-Known Player


    Yes, that's how it works

    Same here. Says all my toons are in "phantoms." LOL!

    Yeah, it's near realtime. Once you activate an armory build, or even drink a soder mk, stats are updated in app after a few minutes.
