The DCUO 9th Anniversary has arrived! I wasn't an OG with the game, but around long enough to see its changes over time. The character advance is nice, but if you don't know how to activate it, it can be a bit confusing. Soo... I've made a quick primer on how to activate your upgrade to 255...
(Note: The F1 (on PC, at least) isn't the activation for character advancement! This is the gift Chroma for players (unless it is your intention to add the gift Chroma to your newly minted CR 255 toon)!)
Regarding the progression to CR 255:
1) When you log into the toon you want to advance, you'll choose the "advance CR" button for a single free advance in CR.
2) Then... when you're on your toon, you'll still see the original CR. You will see the "advancement blurbs" in chat that allow you to go to higher level content.
3) You'll need to open the box with the "Hera's Strength 2020" items. This will provide you with a full suite of armor/weapons/trinkets to level up to CR 255.
4) Once you level up (e.g. add your items to reach CR 255), you'll receive mail with three vault tickets. This will provide some additional items to raise your CR.
5) You'll be able to head off to the Justice League Dark events...!
Remember, though your CR is raised... you still have to grind (or buy) those skill points! Small detail, but a money maker for DCUO.
Good through the end of the year!
