Thinking about the Lanterns...Why not use the Multiverse. to get what most want?

    I know another Lantern thread I get it I literally could talk about lanterns all day they are my favorite part of DCUO, with Carol Farris on of my favorite characters.

    But I'm not going to talk about what power should be the next healer per say. But I will say that maybe we have what their meaning wrong. For example most people think that Rage is an villain only trait, we have them neutral in game, being on both sides. Now I was thinking is it possible for Blue to be on both sides? I mean Hope could be inspired by heroes and villains. Maybe the player just agrees more with the other side.

    One way I can see a loop hole is use what inspired the New 52 base and league hall items. The multiverse itself is a way to make this a loop hole and for my friend fighting to good fight for her Male Star Sapphires this is a sure fire way to well get what you want.

    In the Intro and in Comics Brainac attacks all multiverses right? So who is to say (DC Comics) that someone of the Lantern corps didn't travel in multiverse space and deputize good and bad guys in "hopes" (get it) they could stop Brainac.

    And this could be a way to by pass getting male Star Sapphires. Lets say in our universe only the females can receive the rings which is fine but what about the males. Well have a traveler come along with the blue lantern (who could be evil) who is a Male Star Sapphire because in his universe they are all male. That way we can by pass all this stuff and move on pass this and everyone, except Black, White. Could have rings.

    I may be pulling for Indigo myself but if I was DCUO I would talk to DC Comics and see if this is a possibility to release these powers to the fans that want them. But also keep in mind I never said replace the curry powers slated to be release. I'm saying after those they could consider this option. This is just an option nothing more you could take it or leave it its ok. It just a sure fire way I think to make everyone happy. There is even a way to have all Orange rings too..

    This is DCUO that means DC Universe Online that in turns mean anything apart of DC Universe comics is apart of that Universe. So if they added one or even the rest of the Lanterns doesn't mean its Lantern Online. Its part of the all the powers if you had to blame someone blame the comics for adding all these lights. I think no power is off limits and should be considered if not too OP that is. I wouldn't mind running around with laser beams that follow you.

    If you don't like lanterns powers that's cool and voice it I don't mind it and I will defend those who do. But keep it respectful. Remember there is a report button. I never used it but probably had it used on me before :p.

    DCUO use what ya mama (DC Comics) gave ya the multiverse more often

    While i'd love to see blue lantern powers, I believe some lantern factions should be left unaccessible in order to preserve their traits, Indigos would be a cool power, but having indigo lantern players would (imo) water down the feel of the tribe.

    Same goes for blue light, having blue lantern villians, regardless of the plot, would take away from the "feel" of each color, anyway that's just my personal opinion.

    That being said, I missed your posts :D

    Not a bad idea.

    There is a universe where genders are reversed. Maybe male Star Sapphires exist there?

    Not feeding anything, or crying for this to be done, just saying it isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

    I'm sure DC officials will not approve that, because however you look at it, it is till distorting what the Star Sapphires truly are.

    Indigo and Blue Lanterns would be awesome if the DEVs could create the interaction with them and the other Lanterns, such as an Indigo channeling a Rage or HL power to buff their own and focus the attack at the enemy and/or Blue Lantern buffing up a GL HL power...

    but star sapphires arent a girls only club
  9. Ghostof91 New Player

    i did not say it was, I said it will distort the image meaning forethemost it is a Female corp and that John Stewart and the rest does bot make it any less Female Corp obviously according to official hence why you don't see Male Star Sapphires in game.
  10. MariaTenebre Committed Player

    Actually it dosen't distory what the Star Sapphires are because in the comic lore they have Male Star Sapphires and Geoff Johns has stated that the Star Sapphires are not Female only.

    Also there is a universe where everyone's gender is reversed and even the Amazons are Male so the majority of Star Sapphires would be as well.

    However in the canon universe the Star Sapphires are not Female only and never have been and it violates lore to make them Female only.
  11. MariaTenebre Committed Player

    Actually the Star Sapphires are not a Female only Corp. Geoff Johns stated that Men were not barred from joining and there have been Males wielding Violet Light. John Stewart is a full fledged member of the Corps. The only reason that there are not any Star Sapphire Males in game is because the devs are being stupid. It is honestly no different from the Red Lanterns. The Red Lanterns in comic history have for the most part been villainous and even in game Guy Gardner is the only heroic Red Lantern in a sea of villains but they gradually made more heroic Red Lanterns as they did Male Star Sapphires. So even though the Red Lanterns are mostly villainous heroes are still allowed because the power is faction neutral just like for the Star Sapphires even though they are majority Female, Males are still allowed because they are gender neutral.

    The only problem with using the Blue Lanterns Villain side it their rings are useless without a Green Lantern around.

    Willpower Dependence: the Blue Lantern Power Rings can only function at their full potential in the presence of an active Green Lantern Power Ring. If another Green Lantern Power Ring is not in close proximity to the Blue Lantern, he or she is limited to only flight, a protective aura, and minimal strength enhancement. The Blue Lantern can still effect another with hope, but at greatly reduced energy.

    I am constantly hearing a deja vu echo from you, can you please provide much better evidence as to why Star Sapphires is not a Female Lantern corp but "Neutral".

    I have given extremely good evidence about why the Star Sapphire Corps is not a Female Lantern Corps. For one I have mentioned the Men that have wielded Violet Light as well as John Stewart who was a member as well as the statement of Geoff Johns who stated that the Star Sapphires are not Female only. The Star Sapphires are no more Female only then the Red Lanterns are villain only in game.

    You really wont get any, no matter how much you poke holes in her arguments, she just keeps going.

    The simple logic of only a few men being a Sapphire doesn't mean it's not a primary female Corp is completely lost on her. She just keeps pushing a few of Geoff Johns' words and that John Stewart is a member, yet ignores the rest of what Geoff said "MOST men are NOT worthy".

    At the moment there has only been 4 or 5 men that were at the least temporarily worthy (John Stewart seeming to be permanent). This shows that it would be completely against the current status of the Star Sapphires to allow DCUO to have male characters wield their powers. In doing so that would make hundreds to thousands of men from Earth instantly worthy when in all of the DC Galaxy only about 5 have so far been worthy, yeah DC and Geoff will not approve that.

    Waiting eagerly for her to rebuff this with the same old stuff.:rolleyes:

    Awesome post. ;)

    The MULTIVERSE.

    Probably DCUO's greatest contradiction.

    It was weird to see DCUO tell us that there could be only ONE Batman in DCUO.
    ONE Superman.
    ONE (insert any DC character).

    And then the very first thing the game does is introduce players to the MULTIVERSE.

    Pretty much giving us the explaination why there COULD be multiple Batman running around.

    You could be
    Batman from Earth 02
    Batman Beyond from Earth 12
    Batman from JSA the Liberty Files form Earth 40
    Batman from Earth Prime
    Batman of Zur En Arrh
    or even a totally made up Batman from Earth 923984839 where Batman lives in the Sun and has Solar/Fire powers.

    The sky is the limit with the MULTIVERSE..... or it should be.

    Sadly from the start we have been hitting those arbitrary walls set up for no good reasons.

    But luckily..... fans did not take "NO" for an answer and did create their favorite character if they wanted to.

    They did make
    Batman Beyond
    Batman 52
    the Batman
    The SuperBatman
    Etc

    And heck.... it did not stop at Batman.... or even at DC chaarcters.

    We saw plenty of
    Deadpool
    Hulk
    iron-Man
    Spawn
    and the greatest Hero ever..... The Phantom. ;)

    As they say..... where there is a will.... there is a way.;)

    And now..... we have the ALL Mighty Bat Cowl allowing us to make something that is one step closer to our favorite Hero. ;)
    Now if DCUO can only wisen up and give us a proper BatMan Emblem.... then we will be set to go. ;)

    And before someone say that the Bat Cowl turns DCUO into DC BAT UNVIVERSE ONLINE or some such thing.....

    No.

    I can't say that I see more Batman character now then before.
    But I will admit that I did create a couple more Batman inspired character since last week.

    I created the all mighty Composite Batman Superman...... and I am in the process of creating a Batman Beyond.

    But in the game itself..... can't say I see more Batman then usual.

    So we have the MULTIVERSE....... but DCUO seems resistant to use the FUL POWER of the MULTIVERSE for some reason.

    1.It's actually easier to use Blue Lanterns in DCUO then you would think remember all the green mist from ION floating around Metropolis and the world because one would assume that the war of the light would be global and boom it unlocks all the blue rings .

    2.If you don't think that would work go to Metropolis Battlezone and look up because there's a planet size Green Lantern ring floating in the sky it's a safe bet that a power ring that big would unlock all the blue lantern rings on earth .

    3. It's been shown in the comics that people can change the color of their rings Kyle was able to who's to say that Ganthet who created the Blue Lantern ring couldn't unlock all the powers if he believed the War of the light was going south or work with the othe Guardians to create a new type of Blue lantern ring that doesn't need a Green Lantern.

    You have to wonder....

    Where were those DC Officials when it was decided to make Man of Steel and pretty much ruin Superman???

    Or better yet....

    Where were those DC officials when in the comics it was decided to reveal Superman's identity..... take out his powers...... and have him run around wearing a T-Shirt and jeans??

    They ruin the brand in the Movies and even worse in the Comics....... but somehow...... DCUO is were the DC officials MUST "protect" the brand???

    That is all kinds of crazy.

    Not blaming you.... just saying how DC seems to want to protect the DC brand only with DCUO. Makes no sense.
