New Power

Is there any word on the development of a new power recently? Any suggestions?

doubt we'll see anything in the near future, if at all. While it was made clear that water isn't officially the last power, i highly doubt we'll see another one in the next two years.

Despite the above, I continue to patiently wait for shadow powers. One day....

Channel Jenny Quantum or Mxyzptlk and give us a power to have all the powers you want.
But really though, shapeshifters are awesome. So shapeshifting. Shapeshift into an animal, or turning arms into weapons (the way ring constructs create weapons), turn their head into a dragon or something like that to breath fire/plasma/something that burns, turning bottom half of body into a spring to evade attacks.
After time travel, shapeshifting is an awesome power.

Turning the whole body into a buzz-saw blade and spinning around.

Munitions was the power before Water(Controller)
Water is the latest power(Healer)
so the nest power will be a Tank power.

Shadow seem more like a Controller power.

I think they dropped the idea of Serums completely with good reason. Based of of Bane and Hourman In other words, drugs.

Implants might be a better choice for a Tank power(Cyborg and Tattooed Man as examples Sargon with that gem on his forehead would be another example)

There are 5 of each power type. So a new power could be any power type.

Love as a Healer power!

Hard Light (Green Lantern/Sinestro Corps) is controller, and Rage (Red Lantern) is tank...

Water being a Heal power and the latest points to the next power being troll or tank.

It isn't the next power we should be asking. It should be the next THREE powers.
Tank
Troll
Healer

As to the Star Sapphires, the ones we fight in Metropolis Battleground are just another Light based power(Yellow and Green being the other two)

Maybe having one of the Troll artifacts change the color of the yellow or green ring and powers to violet when it is equipped. A small replica of the organ Carol used when she was brainwashed by the Zamorans and was completely nuts comes to mind. Organ as in pipe organ: the giant keyboard instrument used in churches. I wonder whatever happened to that thing

It's probably forgotten about such as the Fortress of Solitude that Superman carries around in his belt buckle.

Hm. Maybe add some more Iconic powers-such as that Orange Lantern exploding mine power.

Rage is also a light-based power. They’re the Red Lanterns. And it’s a tank power. Therefore, Star Sapphires/Love should be a healer power to round out the light-based support roles. And it’s about time we got a healer power that isn’t magic-based.

Next two tank and troll powers should be magic powers, because as it is now, all magic powers are healers, and almost all non-magic powers are tanks/trolls. (Lightning is debatably either magic or meta.)

While it would be nice to have Star Sapphires finally available, healer is definitely not a role they seem to portray in game. They seem to be a mentally balanced Rage lantern, to put it most simply. Healer? How about Indigo, like healing/assisting types they are in game? Or as begged for the longest: Blue.

Green and Yellow Lanterns are under the heading of Light
Red Lanterns are under the heading of Rage
Star Sapphires act like the Green and Yellow Lanterns with the same attacks but in a different color, that the reason i think an artifact that changes the color of the Light power(Green & Yellow) to violet would work better) The Star Sapphires would be added in and wouldn't need a new power to be scripted for the game.

The Blue and Indigo Lanterns act like healers

Magic based Tank power? Gem Stones. Amethyst:, Black Opal, Mordru, Sargon, Diemo(Warlord) and on and on and on.
Gemworld

Technological based healing? Sound. Music and the like.

If there is a lantern healer then Indigo Tribe fits best. Blues need greens to be effective, plus they aren't villains. Star Sapphires, while being both heroes and villains at times, they aren't really "healers" unless you are suffering from a broken heart.

While Indigo Tribe would fit as healers, the problem with them would be the fact that the members are all villains in origin, and the tribe is entirely about redemption/second chances. They also mind control you, as shown at the end of Blackest Night in the comics when it’s revealed they took Black Hand with them as a member when they vanished.

Well the funny thing here is that the Blue Lanterns in game effectively boost both Green and Yellow. The entire bit of helping Hal Jordan out and then having Munk help you out on Oa dealing with Black Lanterns. A Blue Lantern is working with both a Yellow and Green Lantern. As to worrying about Blue Lanterns are all good guys....

There is a Green Lantern who is on the side of the villains. We haven't seen him yet, but he is there. Power Ring of the Crime Syndicate

The Blue Lantern rings from Earth 3 could go to the villains.


Looking at the Iconic Powers. How about Shrink(Atom, Atomika, Shrinking Violet, and others), Grow(Giganta, Apache Chief, Atom Smaher, and so on) A person under Grow doesn't get hit with knock down or knock back. A person under shrink is not targeted by npcs, unless there is no one else

IF they introduced GOD-WAVE or black/white lantern powers it would be epic from a DC comic readers point of veiw

you're forgetting about Atomic power, which was the power before water. Troller powers usually come first and the last troller power to be introduced was over 2 years ago I think (munitions)

Shapeshifting is part of nature powers. Mind you, there aren't a lot of choices, but still...

I've always thought they needed a light based power that heals. Why not? They have troller and tank that are light based. A third light based power would complete the role trilogy.

You are correct. But it is still the only Lantern based group that makes sense as a healer.

Probably best to take a break from working on new powers. Atomic was good, Water was okay (after playing it a while, just seems a bit mediocre), so resources may be better focused on working on QoL improvements
