Legends PvE Week

Hey Heroes and Villains! It's that time again!

Legends PvE Week is back and we want everyone to get the most out of it.

New to Legends PvE? Here's a quick look at how it works:

• Legends PvE allows players to run specific 4 player alerts and raids using avatars of iconic DC characters, rewarding Marks of Legend along with general and event specific Legends PvE Feats.
• Any owned Legends PvP character can be used unless that character appears as a Non Player Character in the instance, and duplicate Legends characters are permitted within the same group.
• Legends PvE instances are accessible via the On Duty Menu under Custom Play and the Events tab.

From May 12, 2026 through May 18, 2026, every Legends character will be available to try out and every Legends PvE map will be unlocked and ready to play in the On Duty menu.

Buyout Window Extension

By popular demand, Event Buyout Windows have been extended significantly, giving you more time to grab the rewards you've been working toward. 

Stayed tuned for all-new Event types including Trouble Alerts to progress your Artifacts and Allies, and later this year, a new Special Event to earn legacy event rewards.

Level Scaling Test Event

Hello Heroes and Villains!
 
Welcome to our Single Player Level Scaling early Beta test running May 12th - May 18th.

Many players have understandably reported disappointment with how DCUO's combat scaling works.  

Often referred to as the "Stat Clamp", players see wildly different (and much lower) output numbers based on the content they're playing.  

Our initial goal is for players to see consistent values regardless of the content.  

Our first attempt can be experienced in this solo instance.
 
As part of our Beta Test process, we're planning to replace Current Scaling with New Scaling (Beta) after testing and iteration.

In future updates, you'll see these changes rolled out across all content and instances in the game including Solos/Duos/Alerts/Raids and Open Worlds. 
 
For those looking to chase Feats, experience narrative, or just roflstomp old instances, Unscaled will be offered as well in private queue settings.
 
So buckle in, give us your feedback and enjoy the ride.  

We're excited to work with you to make this feature amazing.

Event Details

Experience a new scaling system where enemies adjust to your Combat Rating and compare it directly with the current system, where your character is adjusted to match enemy levels.

This limited-time Beta Test is available through the Event System.

Requirements

• Characters must qualify for Casual Mode to participate.
• No buyout option is available.
• Event Category: Beta Test

To complete the event and earn rewards, players must finish all required challenges on Normal Mode.

Since this Beta Test requires Normal Mode specifically, players who qualify for Casual Mode will be able to access and run Normal Mode for this event, even if they wouldn't typically be able to.

Casual Mode progression will not count toward event completion.

Required Challenges

Solo | New Scaling (Beta)

New Scaling (Beta) JLDC: Town Square Theater

Play a new version of the mission where enemies scale to your Combat Rating to provide an appropriate challenge. Normal difficulty only.

Solo | Current Scaling

JLDC: Town Square Theater

Play the current version of the mission where your character is scaled to match the Combat Rating of the Solo. Normal difficulty only.

In-Game Survey

After completing the event, players will take a survey.

The survey can be completed once per character and is required to unlock an additional once-per-account reward.

Players may retake the survey to provide more feedback, but additional rewards will not be granted.

After completing both the event and the survey requirements, players can claim a one-time account reward: 

Single Player Scaling Test Survey Reward Cache

• 9 Stabilizer Fragments
• 20 Source Marks

Your feedback is essential to refining this new scaling system.

By testing both versions and completing the survey, you’re helping shape the future of combat scaling across all content.

Jump in, test both experiences, and let us know what you think!

This Is Just the Beginning!

This marks the first of many Beta tests we will be inviting the community to participate in!

Keep your eyes on the Beta Test event category, as new tests will be appearing there as we continue to work on new updates.

Each one is a chance for you to get hands-on with features before they go live and make your voice heard where it matters most.

Your opinions don't just matter to us, they shape what we build.

We are genuinely excited to have the community alongside us on this journey, helping us craft experiences that feel right for every hero and villain out there!
