Indigo makes perfect sense. They’re essentially a neutral party so they’ll be able to be played by both heros and villains. They’ve been showed to heal in the comics, so of course they’ll be a healer powerset. There’s nothing surrounding the lore of the indigo tribe that could exclude them from being put in the game
indigo may be weapon locked cuz they ussing staves as power ring or what blue lantern can wear on left arm ring of willpower for dps and on right arm ring of hope for heals
I sadly find it very unlikely that any new powersets will be worked on in the future of this game due to the cost but as an alternative the Iconic power tree could be expanded upon with stand alone abilities that could be adapted into any loadout such as Heat Vision etc.There is a smorgasbord of abilities in the DCU and comic book genre in general that could be added into the game gradually.Here are a few suggestions off the top of my head. Super-Punch:The character charges up a super-powered punch that deals high damage and knockbac.Could be a Supercharge ability. Nova blast:The Character unleashes a super powered shockwave that could inflict damage over time with whatever main power they use(cursed,blessed,burn etc) Energy beam:The character charges up a devastating beam of energy that they discharge in one go. These are just a few abilities not associated with a character.If you go into existing DC characters you could have powers such as Omega beams/Darkseid:Variation of Heat vision that deals direct damage as opposed to damage over time. Speed Force/The Flash:Speeds up your character's movement speed exponentially for a short time. The Green/Swamp Thing:Creates massive roots that smash into your foes Whip lash/Catwoman:Lashes a whip around in a flurry Agent of Order/Dr Fate:Creates a powerful seal that damages enemies and heals allies. Flame Breath/Bizzaro:A variation of Freeze Breath that deals fire damage instead. The possibilities are endless.Since an entirely new powerset in unlikely it would be interesting to see if this could be an alternative instead.
Maybe, maybe not. But there is the word from the Devs of no new powers in the works to stop it, also if DC/WB says no, then it's no.
[SNIP] Magnetism: Power interaction: Could be Magnetized, Attracted or Bleeding due to the metal being expended(can also be have push and pull powers such as mental and electricity), Tank but could be argued to be troll, The only person i could think of is Dr. Polaris butt most heroes have it as a side ability. [SNIP] Ahem Cosmic Boy... I do agree that it'd be good to have it's own power and not just be a small part of Electricity. Also a little surprised not to see Shadow as that was a perennial request for the longest time. All that said, I don't think we'll see any powers for a while but I'll play anyways, though I'm sure someone else brought these up: A physical powerset has been a long time request. IE something to actually model Superman I think the idea of transmutation like Element Lad. You could create poison clouds, convert people's skins to steel for shields, drop a gold anvil on someone's head and so on
the main problem with indigo is that it's emotion is COMPASSION. Can you imagine a villain going around trying to spread ghandi's words? Above that there are no villain representatives to choose from. You might say an iconic hero recruited by the corps but how many villains been recruited that aren't already in the list of choose-able iconics in the character creator? not saying it's impossible just unlikely
The majority of indigo’s roster are villains, and your idea of what the Corp is because of the emotion they’re powered by is COMPLETELY WRONG in every way, and the corps themselves aren’t saints in any way lol. you have to inform yourself before trying to inform others, go look up the lore surrounding them. their emotion won’t conflict with the villain faction at all. Also, there’s already softer villains in the game now, every villain isn’t evil for the sole purpose of being evil.
if joker kills and slaughters multiple innocent people, hes going to see that as good because it's funny for him. lex luthor is trying to show the world they don't need metahumans and thinks hes a hero for it villains do whatever they want but they do not fight for compassion
this is every corps motivation If your mission is to prevent and defeat death… this is your Corps. The White Lantern Corps is capable of defeating the Black Lantern Corps, and is fueled by the Life Entity, an all-powerful being responsible for spreading life throughout the universe not all corps are saints but compassion strives to be
White and black lanterns could fit in easily. White healer, dps, black troll dps. Black uses dots and zombie pets, decay auras. White smites. Its not like holy is an unknown in MMO's, or Dark for that matter. But adding ANOTHER lantern powerset, no thanks. Id rather something more niche.
Literally the most requested powerset of all. Since beta it's had multiple threads requesting it and each one had hundreds of likes each for support. Spytle and Chris Cao (art directors at the time) didn't support the power and didn't think it was creatively different enough from other stuff in the game back then. Personally always disagreed and continued to request the feature. Maybe with new leadership, Jack and SJ have a different position that is more inline with fans' interests. *** As for the other powers mentioned in this thread, literally all of them have been requested over the years and they're either not technically possible [without massive amounts of engineering work] or they're not sufficiently different from what's in the game already. For example, stretch powers will never happen in the game because the amount of engineering it would need to *maybe* look good, wouldn't be worth the investment of resources. While stuff like "Illusions" or "magnetism" are already in existing power trees so the Devs do not consider them unique enough to justify their own dedicated powerset. Obviously this is arguable. There's probably quite a few powers that could be / need to be expanded on in their own powersets. And obviously Iconics have been requested to be expanded for years too.
Here are a just a few - Forward Flip – Lunge at your target with a fast and powerful punch. Backflip – Launch yourself backward damaging your target with a kick. Ground Slam – Slam the ground with your fist, damaging the enemies around you. Battle Roar – With great force roar at your enemies, pushing them back and damaging them. Seismic Slam – Jump down and pull a piece of concrete from the ground to hurl at your enemies. Crushing Lunge – Lunge at you target and slam your fist down on top of them. Get Back – Attack your enemies in an area around you. Cat Swipe – Attack with a powerful and swift series of 4 blows, ending with a stunning backward flip kick Overhead Smash – Smash down with all your strength, knocking down your target. Jump Smash – Damage and knock down enemies around you with a jumping ground slam. Headbutt – Attack with a super powered head butt to knock down your enemies. Jump Kick – Perform a roundhouse kick to damage and knock down those in front of you. Knockout Kick – Perform a jump kick to knock down your target and enemies around them Shockwave Stomp – Knock back and damage surrounding enemies with a foot stomp. Whirlwind Attack – Circle your enemies, whipping wind into a maelstrom, knocking them down. Vacuum Spin – Spin rapidly to pull enemies toward you and knock them down. Shockwave Punch – Strike the ground with a fist to Knock down and damage surrounding enemies. If they just made a power based on these, a lot of us would be happy and no one would be upset for all the serum lovers (of which there seems to be more than I would have ever imagined).-Nightcrawler Power tree done by poster Superior Mouse all credit to mouse who was a big advocator for a super strength powerset and also mouse made this power tree
wind power would be fun as troll / dps growd controlling mobs in mini tornadoes and damaging them with wind bolts sharper than blade
Creatively, brawling and rage are about 2 inches away from a super strength powerset. The Melee has become more important since launch, down to the meta taps counts. But utlimately its still like 5 moves. Some people LIKE melee. A large amount of heroes can go hand to hand. Like 90% of them. Hell even luthor can throw a punch. Wind is frequently requested I assume itd play like a cross between water and the acual wind powers, visually its hard to make wind interesting though. Even with TK they add effects pink glowing etc.
Imagine replying to a post discussing the game community's desire for a long requested feature, where someone displays deep game knowledge and understanding of it dating back to closed beta, and then 'splaining to them how another feature in the game is a suitable replacement for what they just finished pointing out was a long standing request because fans do not agree that it is a suitable replacement.
That's not how it works...they won't release a healer power for heroes and a troll power for villains. That has never happened and never will. It's always one role per faction (Troll power for both sides, Healer power for both, Tank power for both). Secondly, there are no new powers coming...so your lopsided suggestions are moot.
