DC Universe is set to release the next big DLC pack, Origin Crisis, which admittedly focuses mostly on PvE encounters. Until then, Sony Online Entertainment has some big plans in store for lots of steamy hero on villain content in the coming year. For a couple of weeks now, heroes and villains all around Gotham and Metropolis have been enjoying the brand new ranked matchmaking system, which runs in the background collecting match results and using that data to create more balanced teams. Expounding on ranked matchmaking, Sony plans on implementing arranged matchmaking, allowing groups to bypass the on duty system and set up matches against other groups directly. You’ll be able to skirmish against your friends, or recreate your own version of Crisis on Two Earths, all within the confines of structured PvP.
Also coming is the introduction of seasonal gear. Tiered PvP gear that is replaced with new gear once a season begins. The goal, according to the announcement, is to allow players to progress without increasing gaps between seasoned veterans and new fighters, as well as giving players a fresh start every so often. Finally, in order to reduce queue times, the team has announced map rotation. Essentially this means that the number of available maps will be reduced, however they will be cycled on a regular basis. With five maps available at any time, Sony hopes that this will allow them to add new PvP maps over time without the issue of spreading the base too thin.
Sony is welcoming feedback to any of the proposed changes. You can find links to their specific forum threads below.

Origin Crisis? Sounds like SOE’s version of a take that against EA.
