“I like the idea of color change. Please make this happen!!”

Nice necro. 5 and 1/2 years....Sad thing is that is probably NOT a record here.

“Inevitably has to happen or else they'll have to add fully new and variant powersets.

And for those saying "there's only a few Blue Lanterns," or "there's only one Orange Lantern," on comic book Earth-Prime, you'd be right. DCUO isn't comic book Earth-Prime however. All characters with Light and Rage powersets were emergancy deputized and given special rings with limited abilities compared to the fully inducted corps members and their standard rings. That's literally the game's lore. That's why there's a TON of Blue Lanterns, Red Lanterns, and Star Sapphires, even though there were only a handful of each in the comics. The deputization protocol in the power rings allows for as many or as few extra Lanterns as the game and its story needs to have.

Furthermore, Larfleeze and his orange ring aren't exempt from this protocol. That's how we got Orange Lantern Lex Luthor in the first place.

Further, furthermore, before you go telling me that blue rings only work with green rings, let me first point out some things. One, we're in a game that is absolutely saturated with Lanterns. There's more than enough Lanterns on Earth at the time of this game to unlock the fullness of the blue ring's abilities, and arguably enough nearby in the extraterrestrial content to do so as well, even if you don't have one in your immediate solo, duo, alert, or raid. If that isn't enough for you, Sinestro proved that Saint Walker and his blue ring could fulfill the same functionality with yellow rings as with green rings during the New 52 Sinestro title.

Furtherestmore, while yes, the Indigo Tribe are the "good guys," their moral compass doesn't exactly point North. They routinely use lethal force to perform mercy killings on those who are beyond healing or helping, and also to execute victimizers to stop the further harm of their victims. They do all this in the name of compassion. Honestly, that seems about the same moral gray as Poison Ivy.”

Isn't it amazing how much has happened between 2015 to present day? How players believed something like this could NEVER happen...

Look at the game now. So many possibilities. So much has been done in this game.

Something like this could absolutely happen now. I want this sooooo bad.

Except the conditions that I made mention of/spelled out almost 6 years ago still hold true.

DC's still protective of their licensed property and the devs have shown no indication or hint of changing their minds over allowing the recoloring of powers.

Nothing in those regards has changed from 2015, and it hasn't happened. Wanting something REALLY badly isn't going to be nearly enough to overcome that very steep hill that needs to be climbed.

I don't see Warner's being onboard with this at all.
