Hidden Features & Information Exposed by Census

    So.. I routinely browse the DCUO Census data for (private) apps or for new features & items. I run across a bunch of interesting things that you don't see in game. Some of them get hidden from view eventually so I thought I might log the information I do find out here from now on.

    I will add to the list as I find more.

    R&D

    One of the things that may surprise some of you is that there are indeed Type VII Expert Plans and mods in the Census which means they were created at some point. You can find them all by retrieving them via:

    https://census.daybreakgames.com/s:dcuometerclient/get/dcuo/item?name.en=*VII Expert&c:distinct=name.en

    Legends Characters

    This surprised me but they did expose some potential Legends characters. These are hidden now but included:
    • Poison Ivy
    • Ra's Al Ghul
    There is also an addition Flash Exobyte Data that would suggest a Flash skin.

    You can find Exobyte Data lists here:

    https://census.daybreakgames.com/s:dcuometerclient/get/dcuo/item?name.en=*Exobyte Data&c:distinct=name.en

    Cola's

    There are some unreleased Soder's in existence. These include:
    • Soder Cola Boost - Was going to be the Type VII Soder prior to the Soder Cola Extreme. IL - 110
    • Soder Cola Perfect - Was going to be the Type VII Expert Soder prior to the Soder Cola Extreme change IL - 120
    And a Base Item called "Soder Cola Holiday Glasses."

    You can find the Cola variants here:

    https://census.daybreakgames.com/s:dcuometerclient/get/dcuo/item?name.en=* cola &c:case=false&c:sort=item_level&c:distinct=name.en

    Feats

    There are some feats that were never released as well. These feats were in relation to smashing X amount of "special" barrels. In addition there were "special" feats for the classic game involving other Mentors and forgotten level feats.

    These feats were hidden long ago. I did save a list of them somewhere but I have forgotten where. I'll need to search for the file.

    In addition to that there is roughly 48.2 skill points that are predicated as "hero" or "villain" only. Now some of these predicates may be falsely advertised and links are made between hero and villain equivalent feats. However a faction switch option + hiccup on the Dev's side would cause some havoc indeed on skill point totals. :D

    The Census feat list is incomplete but if a character had access to every single feat in the game regardless of restriction, and the devs hiding some, you'd have 293+ skill points as of this post. ;)

    Auras

    Misted auras were spotted on Census. These include:
    • Amber Misted Aura - Released (Time Capsule)
    • Amethyst Misted Aura
    • Azure Misted Aura
    • Citrine Misted Aura
    • Crimson Misted Aura - Released (Time Capsule)
    • Emerald Misted Aura - Released (Time Capsule)
    • Lazuli Misted Aura
    You can find the Misted Auras here:

    https://census.daybreakgames.com/get/dcuo/item?name.en=*misted aura&c:case=false&c:distinct=name.en

    Packs including:
    • Aura Pack I - Released (Marketplace)
    • Aura Pack II
    • Aura Pack III
    • Super Power Aura Pack
    You can find Aura Packs here:

    https://census.daybreakgames.com/get/dcuo/item?name.en=*aura pack&c:case=false&c:distinct=name.en

    Single auras may include:
    • Rainbow Glimmering Aura - I thought it was just the original Glimmering Aura but that is a separate item
    You can find all Auras here:

    https://census.daybreakgames.com/get/dcuo/item?name.en=*aura&c:case=false&c:distinct=name.en

    Bundles

    These include:
    • Galileo Bundle
    You can find bundles here (please note they also include single base items):

    LexCorp (purple and green) barrels giving the Mental PI disappeared after the leveling missions. I always wanted to see more of them lying around in end game, but they never are/were. I also love using the Black Hole type barrels exclusive to the Star Labs PVP Map...those were in place way before Quantum! And what about the ones that just shoot everything into the air...haven't seen those since the garbage room on the Brainiac ship.

    If there were to be feats for smashing those, that would have been awesome.

    Hi Superskull

    just checked the misted auras list.. seems to be gone now man. fyi
  5. Superskull85 Devoted Player

    That's fine as that is why I left my extracted list. I leave the query strings up as an example of how to find them again (potentially). If you look at the Legends section Poison Ivy and Ra's are also gone but I preserved the query string for the reason above.

    However I will likely remove the misted list when they go live with the upcoming capsules anyway.
