With “Day of Reckoning: Aftershock”, DC Universe Online not only expands the current story arc, the superhero mmorpg also changes with innovations in the traces of WoW.

What kind of innovation is that? Since June 2022, the two hostile factions Horde and Allianz in World of Warcraft have been able to jointly establish content -based content such as battlefields, dungeons or raids. That was a historical adaptation that was discussed accordingly in the community.

With the newly released Aftershock update for the “Day of Reckoning” story Arc launched in January 2025, all fans of DC Universe Online are now expecting something comparable. The heroes and villains of the MMORPG can now join the same league (read: guild) and play under a banner for the first time.

With a mixed group, however, you cannot (still?!) To line the queues for the different content of the MMORPG.

    Next step: Heroes fight together with villains

    What does the community say to the update?

  • Dazzling_newspaper43 writes in a discussion on Reddit: “I am not sure what a mixed league should be good for if you cannot put yourself in the queue with a mixed group.”
  • LAST_MANUFACTURER397 Answers to Reddit: “Since the leagues on the hero side are more active, people will be more ready to join an active league with buffs than a league that has nothing.”
  • At Reddit, Vilkath criticizes the update: “I think it is quite standard food … Elite-Plus versions of some of the worst content. Double rewards for objects that we have been grinding for a month or two … The league thing is nice but nice but […] I don’t think it helps if you cannot form groups with a mixed team. ”
  • Thickchicklover520 also wishes on Reddit: “Simply merging villains and heroes to a faction. This will help to save the dying population.”

    • It would be like the Suicide Squad suddenly merges with the Justice League to combat an even bigger evil together. The opposite plot was the focus of a Service game from Rocksteady that had AAA budget and not a good end: Suicide Squad: The loot shooter with DC villains is set, but there is good news for the last 500 players on Steam
