DCUO Basics: How to shift phases

Miss Martian, by demidevil13

One frustrating thing for new people playing DCUO is figuring out some of the small things that many of the main "how-to" guides tend to overlook.  One these is how to phase to a different server in the DCUO - it's really easy to do, and will allow you to shift on a moment's notice to join groups.  If there is some group you wish to join but is in another phases (e.g. fighting big bosses such as in the Deluge event (the giant Starro), or Doomsday), or just someone you wish to phase with, then to phase, just:

1) Choose "F4" (Social Menu)

2) Scroll down to "Recent Text"

3) Choose the name of the person you wish to phase with (who recently texted)

4) You'll get the option "Phase with"... choose this

5) Your screen will blank for a few seconds, then... you'll be in the phase of the group / person you wanted to join

That's it!  It may seem like a small thing, but if you don't know how to do it, you don't know how to do it.  With the "Deluge" (Starro) and "Death of Superman" (Doomsday) events in full swing, there will be plenty of requests to phase where the big damned Starfish is hanging out in Central City or to kill DD 100 times (both are skill point events), so you'll be ready - until next time!
