Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this wiki

 * Thx ever so much, hope I did not introduce too many errors though.Datasentinel (talk) 18:58, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I don't know where you came from but boy am I glad you did. You are kicking butt with awesome information here and I, for one, appreciate your efforts.

GreenLanternGasm (talk) 20:35, April 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the laurels, that is very kind of you and really cheered me up. Datasentinel (talk) 19:54, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

Regarding events
I see you have combined event from different years into one page. For example - The Witching Hour. I believe this makes them look chaotic and hard to navigate. I would like to split these pages apart into "Event (2011)" and "Event (2012)" etc.

For example the page "The Witching Hour" would allow players to redirect them to either year 2011 or 2012.

I feel there was no need to conbine them because they each have a different story, items, instances, mobs and bosses.


 * I am not responsible for the edits you are referring to.


 * However I agree that if there were different quests over the years there should be one main page for the seasonal event and the quests themselves should be on their own pages. You will find many places on this wiki, where stuff is summarized on one single page until somebody takes the time to structure it more properly.

I have tried to undo the vandalism by TRTT / 79.107.254.200 but some things I can not undo due to multiple revisions. Please check the pages that have been changed.

 * Hi, I am not an admin here on this wiki, thus I have have the same means to edit something like you and everyone else, but I'll see what I can do. Datasentinel (talk) 09:01, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S.: You had already dealt with most spam, so there was not much for me to do. Thank you very much for your actions. Datasentinel (talk) 09:30, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

Iconic sets
Hi there, aeronaut is not an iconic set(even though it is one of the pvp gear sets now) - all iconic sets got their feats in the "Iconic Styles Feats" section Pingvinozavr (talk) 17:27, July 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ahh, ok, I thought iconic to be sold from an iconic hero, but obviously it means worn by an iconic hero. Thanks for correcting it. Datasentinel (talk) 19:49, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

I was quite surprised to wake up this morning to 110 Emails. They were all from Wikia! Thanks for all the help! Nebiksrazu (talk) 11:54, August 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I just added some missing categories. If you don't want so many single e-mails, you can change that in your site preferences by clicking on your user name (which you probably know already).


 * Anyway, thanks for all your work too. Always good to see people like you taking a bite into the missing stuff.


 * Datasentinel (talk) 16:33, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for editing and adding pages to the hidden stats. I got caught up with work so i couldn't finish, i probably would of forgotten. ^ ^ An0nYmOUsLy DaRk (talk) 08:58, August 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * np. I did not do much though. Datasentinel (talk) 09:13, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

Please redirect the page to the correct spelling when that happens. User:Atheist723 (talk) 10:47, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, but in the case of spelling errors, that does not make much sense since the links to it need to be corrected too. Thus the falsely spelled page is a sure and link-free deletion candidate if taken care of correctly. You might argue though that the redirection does not break external links though I doubt there are (m)any. Datasentinel (talk) 11:01, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hello datasentinel, i wanted to do BC2 speed feat on normal mode. I was wandering what is normal mode, is it Novice or Expert? An0nYmOUsLy DaRk (talk) 15:45, September 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * That would be Expert mode. Datasentinel (talk) 15:53, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for deleting your page, I'm still getting used to using this wiki stuff and I don't know what I did. As long as it helps others get the briefings and investigations, do whatever ya need to.

Quote for a Video
Hi Datasentinel,

Was wondering if you'd care to give me a quote to use in a video we are making about the Next-Gen Launch titles. Essentially I'm curious what you are excited about for DC Universe Online on the PS4. The quote would be used alongside your username with a link to this wikia's url. Thanks!


 * I think I could give you a decent console related quote, but it would be a fake since I sit behind mouse and keyboard when I play DCUO. Sorry. Datasentinel (talk) 00:21, November 7, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Everyone i have edited Exobit by putting the maps there

Forum Link Alteration
I'm thinking of removing the "Forums" on this wikia and simply linking to the forums on the official game site. Opinions? Netherith (talk) 11:18, January 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, not that the forums are full of joy and overuse, but should not there be at least one place where one can announce and discusss wiki maintenance? It's easier to post stuff like that in a central place than on several different talk pages.


 * A link to the official forum is a tempting idea though. Would it be possible to have both? I am thinking of one 'maintenance' board, one 'free for everything board" for chit chat or questions and that link to the official forum.

hello my user name is diecast69 on my PS3 andin Dcuo it's The GoldenFlash and sine the update my home trinket are giving me a hard time. In my home every trinket is at the max (boost2) and my battery are all full to but my trinket act as if they we're just unlock niv1, what can i do now ? And is DC working on it ?

my home mods are all ok tho, still at the max , no problem there. As soon as I go in 2vs2 arena my trinket bug but every one else i fight are all ok, full supply drop , orbital strike , henchman , but not me , and im at a total disadvantage. Can you help me get some support ?

 * Hello, please have a look at Game Update 32. Look for the section labeled Mainframe Trinket Update. My advice would be to get proper PvP trinkets from the PvP vendor(s).
 * Datasentinel (talk) 22:55, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Character Class Assessment
I'll need you to do a check on my assessments on Player Role Classes to ensure general perspective. I also am not really familiar with the Healer abilities and what gameplay styles they favour (eg Celestial favours Battle Mage style).

And yes, I am drafting the page to become the future front page layout. Netherith (talk) 01:56, January 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. I cannot find something too odd in there, though I wonder why you want to write up that. I mean are there really significant differences between an Ice Tank and a Fire Tank? Other than different animations and different names for their powers. Some stuff, especially the player characters like ninja, mentor etc., looks a little dreamt up to me, but then again, being an exobyte super-hero or super villain is too :)
 * Overall I find the page too complex for a front page and we should may be consider second-tier entry pages which can have longer write-ups and can be linked too from the front page. Like a tree structure: top node, second-tier nodes and so on as needed to keep it reasonably simple and accessible at a glance. Just my two cents though.


 * Are you sure that tabber should be used on the front page? It requires Javascript and many people are surfing with Javascript disabled by default. The current home page looks still okay if hit without Javascript I think since just the folded boxes all appear unfolded in that case. Also, the broken tab looks a bit bad. I had that too once. May be & n b s p ; instead of the spaces helps or a < b r / > in the right place?


 * Last, but not least, am I allowed to edit in there? Going over it I spotted three or four places which I instantly wanted to edit, but I wanted to ask you first.


 * Datasentinel (talk) 07:07, January 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Go ahead and edit some.
 * The ultimate purpose is to form a "Overlord" page for anyone seeking quick answers to what they seek, since this game doesn't actually have an official handbook or instruction list, this will serve that purpose; the wikia's "front page" and "contents page". I'm basing the layout on the layouts of various other MMORPG wikias like Runescape, WoW and Minecraft, etc.
 * The "Character Classes" like Ninja, Mentor, Rare Hunter, etc are actually renowned "roles" that people end up conforming into in MMORPGs. I no doubt suspect you have encountered the terms Ninja and Noob being thrown around the game. I, myself, fall under the Lorist category. and there are other people who play solely to obtain rare items (in this case they would be the iconic items). Rest assured, they are relevant, particularly when I write up expected conduct rules and such in the Gameplay section.
 * There are differences between the power roles, as noted, the Ice powers favor defense while Fire favors aggression (which makes it an ideal DPS power, alongside Light). Netherith (talk) 11:35, January 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * What was the intention of the "Split before-2" feature? Netherith (talk) 08:38, January 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's to have better control over the tabber tabs. You can control line breaks within tabber tab lines with it and thus resolve the problem with single tabs expand over two lines. I found some CSS on Comunity Central and added it to the site's CSS.
 * Split before-2 means line break before second tabber tab, it currently works up to 10, but can be extended easily as needed in the site's CSS file - via admin dashboard. Datasentinel (talk) 09:08, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Styles page feat picture.
Hi there. What is the purpose of the feat picture on the Styles page? And why is it in the Styles Types section? As far as I remember weapon styles count toward that feat as well. Pingvinozavr (talk) 18:07, January 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, the purpose of placing that feat (picture) on the general style page is to make users aware of the fact that collecting styles is more than just changing your visual means.
 * Believe it or not, I for one threw many styles away unused when I started playing since the stats of the gear in question were simply lower than what I had equipped already. Of course I would not have done that would I have known that collecting styles counts towards an achievement. I hope that answers your first question?


 * As far as the placement is concerned, I just wanted to place it prominently, so users do not skip the information contained with it. I have moved it to the top now.
 * To be honest, I was not really aware of the fact that weapon styles count towards the general style feats too since most style feats (themed and iconic) are costume related only. This info is currently also missing from the wiki, at least in the places I would have looked. I will add a remark to the related pages (style, style feats and weapon types).


 * Datasentinel (talk) 06:23, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Hero!

I just started playing this game (and it's very fun) and can't figure out where the "beginner" sort of section on this site would be. But you seem to be a full of knowledge so I thought I'd say hi here in hopes of getting some direction.

NycterisA (talk) 17:16, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

NycterisA (Nyxteris on DCUO)


 * Hi there. What you ask is very hard to answer since I absolutely don't know what you already know and where your problems might be. For starters you only need to worry about which role you want to play and which weapon you will take. Anything else will get clearer while you advance to level 30.


 * There are four roles for (group) play, damage, controller, healer, tank. Damage is the attack role. Tank is the defender, who grabs the attention of enemies so that the others can better attack. Healer restores the health of the whole group and the controller restores the power of the whole group.
 * Which role you get is depended on which power you pick while you create your character. E.g. fire and ice are tank powers, gadget and mental are controller powers and sorcery and nature are healer powers. If you decide to play damage, any power is possible though some are more on the defensive side.


 * Damage and tank roles usually would pick a melee weapon while controllers and healers usually would pick a ranged weapon. This is because those weapon choices are most suitable for their role play.


 * The story mode until level 30 is like one looong tutorial, so I would suggest to just play on until level 30 and then come here again and ask any questions left. You may want to use the forum though, which is a more suitable place for such questions.


 * Datasentinel (talk) 15:05, January 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you that's actually plenty of great starter info for me!  I'll check out the forums.
 * (Also I picked Healer.)

I have developed a theme style checklist for my own use. I dunno if you would like to incorporate it here on the wiki. It is currently in Excel format. If your interested email me and I will be happy to send it to you.

Trackez


 * Hi there. If you mean by theme style checklist a list of points to have or check for in a wikia theme, that is subject to taste very much.
 * Casual editors often have problems with the most simple page layouts or don't care for it. So, thanks for your offer, but I don't think we currently need even more rules to follow up to.
 * Datasentinel (talk) 21:10, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

DataSentinal,

I can see where I might have been unclear. What I am refering to is a DCUO Feat checklist for the different "Theme Styles". I didn't include the Iconic styles as they are easier to identify since they are bought at the vendor.

I agree that a wiki checklist would be well intrusive. However as you stated not everyone is capable of creating a page and making it flow with the rest of the site. So I wanted to know if you wish to or had the time to put up a checklist that is printable so people can track which styles they have already collected.

Trackez


 * Ahh, I see. Hmm, that's certainly a good idea, but we have not really the means to host files other than images and videos. If you could agree to upload your Excel file at a free file hoster and post the link to it here, I'll see through to add it on the Theme Styles page under External Links. Datasentinel (talk) 18:04, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

I can send it to you in pdf format too. I am just offering the work and format. You can do whatever you like with it. Just let me know a place to send the files too.

proposal
Would you be interested in having a top level domain for this wiki? Like www.dcuowiki.com?


 * Sorry, I do not understand the question. You do realize that this is a community wiki? There is no money in it. So are you offering to sponsor a TLD for this wiki or do you want to sell one? Please elaborate.


 * Also, please keep in mind that a provider for a TLD might be out of business in one or two years. Wikia almost certainly will be not.


 * Datasentinel (talk) 12:05, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

what i was proposing was sponsering a domain that would go to this address but im not sure that wikia even allow top level domains for wikia sites

Useruser3 talk 17:26, April 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I need to check the terms of use before I can answer that one. Datasentinel (talk) 21:38, April 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * There is only one point in the terms of use I can spot which might be used to neglect your proposal and that is Not to forge headers, or manipulate source identifiers or otherwise attempt to disguise the origin of any content made available via the Service;. However I cannot see that a simple forward would be malicious as meant in that statement.
 * Of course it is still debatable whether a TLD such as www.dcuowiki.com or www.dcuowiki.info would lead to a gain of access here since Google as well as Bing bring up dcuniverseonline.wikia.com if you search for DCUO wiki. A TLD mostly unknown and unused would be a waste of resources I think.

hotfixes
would you rather i moved my hotfixes list into pages sorted by year like:

2011 HotFixes

2012 HotFixes

2013 HotFixes

2014 HotFixes

to cut down on how much the users need to scroll? i could do this for the other sections on Updates if you want

p.s the talk page link on your Signature is broken

Useruser3 talk 21:24, April 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that would be a very good idea considered how long that list has grown.


 * P.S.: The link to my talk page is not broken since we are actually on my talk page. Wikia always does format links to the page you are on like that.


 * Datasentinel (talk) 21:37, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

maps
Would interactive maps be of use to the wiki?. Think google maps but for Metropolis and Gotham

Useruser3 talk 13:41, April 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that is a very cool idea. I have seen such maps for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim I think, but I don't know how they are made.


 * Datasentinel (talk) 14:02, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

started to implement the templates that are used for the maps but not sure how it works just yet. gonna play with it on a local wikia install first Useruser3 talk 00:03, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

Key Moments of MMO History Video Narration
Hey there Datasentinel, my name is Doug and I'm a member of Wikia's Community Development Team! Wikia is creating an exciting Key Moments of MMO History video that will showcase several amazing games of the genre. We're looking for admins of MMO wikis who would be interested in submitting a short vocal narration about their game of choice.

We want to ask you the question What is the most important moment in DC Universe Online's History?

If you're interested, please record an MP3 voice narration of your answer, a few sentences to a small paragraph is fine. If you have no recording software and are still interested, we can schedule a Skype call to record! Please send the finished recording to doug@wikia-inc.com and you'll be featured in the video to represent your community! Thank you and have a good one!

Competing with the Marvel Heroes wiki
Now that its up and running. The Marvel Heroes MMORPG would most probably be the area where the stiffest competition will be coming from (largely due to DC and Marvel's rivalry). I am looking to upgrade the site to incorporate some of the bling the Marvel Heroes Unofficial Wikia has (the official wikia offers no competition to us), however, editing Monobook does not seem to work for me. Perhaps you may have better luck.

The Marvel Heroes wikia seems to be using the same Monobook codes as the Halo wikia. Currently, I wish to incorporate the blue bars behind the section titles on the front page and the lines (one above and one below) that the section titles on the common pages have. Netherith (talk) 07:59, June 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, I just remotely get what you are talking about. Monobook seems to be a plugin which needs to be installed, but I don't know of any way to install plugins here by ourselves. You probably should contact wikia support about this as they offer to install additional plugins on a by case basis if you can make a case for it.
 * Also see http://dcuniverseonline.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Version


 * Why you fear their competiton is beyond me and if so, I think the worst of all moves would be to copy their page layout or parts of it.


 * Last but not least if you wish to accompany the headlines with a graphic, the way to go is probably http://dcuniverseonline.wikia.com/wiki/Special:CSS.


 * Datasentinel (talk) 08:40, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

I do not fear their competition. I welcome it. I just wish to keep up with them. Netherith (talk) 00:36, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

The Collapsible Tables
Any clue on how to keep the collapsible tables from compressing into 1 column when they are uncollapsed? Netherith (talk) 03:45, June 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, would you please give me an example by pointing me to one? Datasentinel (talk) 11:20, June 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Go to either the Batman, Nightwing, Wonder Woman or Batgirl pages. They should be using the new template with the issues I mentioned.


 * I have no idea, sorry. Had a short glimpse at the html page's code, but spotted nothing. This may be a case for the wikia community forums. Other folks have problems with that template too. Datasentinel (talk) 09:40, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

Supergirl Legends avatar
Supergirl is available in vendor only for Legendary members, which I think pretty much fits for "special promotion" section, why there is a need for 2 same characters in a different sections if you could just describe that promotion in the price section? Pingvinozavr (talk) 19:59, July 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think I understand what's bothering you, but those are really two different items with different rarity, paid for with different currency and last but not least from different vendors. To have the overviews match what the vendors have I think Supergirl should appear on both listings - even if it's on the same page. The longer I think of it the more I would instead be in favor of splitting the special promotion avatar(s) from the ones available from the marketplace. Datasentinel (talk) 17:33, July 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * However those items both grant you the same avatar for legends and this is what that page is about, avatars. Think of it as a style - even though you can get it from different sources it will still be the same style, there is no need to list the same style in the styles page multiple times just because you can get it in a different ways, you can just list the sources you can get that style from in the description(if there was any) or on that style page. Also there are more legends characters that gonna appear the way Supergirl did as well as such characters as Future Batman and Harley that you can get with Ultimate Edition which will lead to the whole bunch of clones in a different sections of the same page. Pingvinozavr (talk) 00:38, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hm, I forgot that we have extra vendor listings for those in the meantime. Thus the overview of avatars can be unbound from the availability setting. Though taken strictly Supergirl is neither a (sole) Martketplace item nor a special promotion. Datasentinel (talk) 08:10, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

SOE Census Data API

On 9/5/214, SOE opened public access to the DCUO Census Data API which includes real time information on DCUO Items and characters. Many sites are accessing this data directly.

Sore has developed a site that links to the current in game Items and Characters:

http://soredcuo.azurewebsites.net/

The source for all of the data from the search tool is directly from SOE: https://census.soe.com/

The SOE DCUO Census Data may be useful for updating information on this wiki as it is directly from the Live SOE servers.

76.107.205.2 76.107.208.233 76.107.206.147 75.66.159.136 75.66.24.184 (O)v(O)


 * Nice. That would be great if we could fetch item specs directly from an API, but a few glances showed that we have items the SOE category overviews don't have. E.g. couldn't find the bows from the most recent DLC. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out. I am sure there are also many items in there, we don't have yet.


 * Out of curiosity, is your site a plain javascript solution? Datasentinel (talk) 17:19, September 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * The above link is Sore's site and not mine. The latest DLC items are not in the data currently. A few other items are missing from the data also.
 * There are several examples how to access the data on census.soe.com including both JavaScript Object Notation (json) and xml. Hopefully the links I created below work:


 * http://census.soe.com/s:example/xml/get/dcuo/item?code_name=surplus-resto-katanas
 * http://census.soe.com/s:example/json/get/dcuo/item?code_name=surplus-resto-katanas


 * For now the only thing I can think of is to provide the official SOE item ID in the info boxes. I have changed the item template accordingly, example and first page to feature it is Ace-Brand Chem-Proof Leggings. Datasentinel (talk) 18:36, September 10, 2014 (UTC)
