Farewell to our good friend, Obsidian Chill

After returning from a second hiatus, I learned that one of the top contributors to the DCUO community, Mr. Obsidian Chill, is hanging up his proverbial cape.  A long time content creator and steadfast member of the DCUO community, he was a wealth of knowledge regarding powers, skills sets, and a lot more (as you can see from my sidebar).  Not sure if he'll return, but I think it is safe to say we all appreciated his vast quantity of contributions to the DCUO community.  Fair winds and following seas to you!

DCUO: St. Patrick's Day Seasonal Preview (New Styles and Base Items)

I am back!  Had to take a hiatus from blogging for personal reasons, as well as the DCUO doldrums (re-hashed seasonal events - Christmas seasonal, Valentine's Day Seasonal, Anniversary / Monitor event).  Soo.. now with those over, a few things of note...

1) Event items!  If you like having a "manly" hideout, make sure you get your bars and Celtic guy art work during this seasonal.  As Obsidian Chill points out, there are only two new feats, so you can burn the rest of your clovers on bar-ware.

2) Races!  If you have changed movement modes, take advantage on the new races.

I'm not overly impressed with the new styles, but if you have an Irish/Celtic based character, or just a mischievous one, grab your materials / garb / etc... while you can!

DCUO In-Depth: Gadgets DPS/Controller, and Batgirl!

The New Batgirl,by Hedrick-CS

Came across Obsidian Chill's "updated" In-Depth Gadget power set overview today, and was heartened as it seems to me there are more Gadget players (mostly DPS, imo) in-world.  Nice to see more, and RP-wise it seems to be a stronger basis for origin stories.   That being said, do enjoy the the updated information!

Batman would seem to be the logical choice for gadgets, but I've always liked the "new" Batgirl character and storyline.  To me, it was refreshing to have a snarky character with a sense of humor, although it does seem they've made changes to her character.

 I'll have to go back and look deeper into her character status, but for now, she's the "Poster Girl" for the blog's Gadget power set!  Until later!...
