Lantern Healer + New Lantern Content.. a suggestion..

Hi guys

I have retired but am helping out in a Child league of ORS, off and on, training and playing a bit.

---------

so as outlined [HERE] the work on a lantern healer could be done in a very short amount of time, needing only 7 new powers to complete the powerset.

I want to talk about new content to back up that suggestion.

I have often thought over the last year to two.. DCUO could have a 'new' city.

Why not open Coast City? well for one it is said to be too much work to make even a small new area, this is why we have 'cut up' areas at present. But.. I had an idea/tactic that would involve a modest amount of work, and give us a new city.

If South Gotham was unbottled and cleaned up then joined to the Coast City alert area, the resources used to reform South Gotham in to Coast City would be moderate.

No one has ever seen what South Gotham looks like unbottled so to the eyes it would be fresh and new. We could have new player bases and a fresh place for future instances to be 'cut up'.

In Coast City we never hear of their police stations, but we hear Star Labs has a strong presence, so hero safehouses could be a modified Star Labs (from the Superman vs Lex Luthor Star Labs instance) and villains could have a modified LexCorp safehouse from (the Iceberg Lounge).

So from Ferris Aircraft, we have a road in the south that exits the base. we have a few sparse buildings and slight desert which leads to a bridge.. that bridge would match up with the bridge leading in to (former) South Gotham, which now is the re-newed city of Coast City.

What's there?

2 safehouses per faction
5 suburbs
Huge Power Batteries, one for each Corps.
player bases.

General Missions

Star Sapphires trying to convert the women of Coast City. As Villians and Heroes, you must stop them in their misguided ways. Daily with an extra iconic boss fight; Carol Ferris.

Open World Raid Iconic* Bounties:

Heroes:
Hank Henshaw YL (team up YL)
Hal Jordan YL        (team up YL)
Bizzarro YL            (team up YL)
Larfleeze - Agent Orange
Black Adam SS    
Sinestro WL
Sapphire - StarHeart*


Villains:
Robin BL (team up BL)
Aquaman BL (team up BL)
Supergirl RL  (team up RL)
Bleez RL        (team up RL)
John Stewart SS
Batman WL (Deadman granted)
Alan Scott - StarHeart**

For Heroes x 3 YL fight, and for Villains two team ups of x 2, all leading to fighting the devastating 'StarHeart', The last two fights of WL and StarHeart should be done as a entrance instance, the queue of which only appears in 'On Duty' once the other bounties are completed. No limit or replays required, as long as you complete the others before you can queue again.

Star Labs/LexCorp 'Duo Survival Mode'.

Gorrilla Grodd has taken over Star Labs and released the Iconic prisoners, you as a hero for Vibe or villain for Killer Frost, must send them back to their cells.

In Coast City.. there are many HUGE power batteries for each Lantern Corps.. while you (a Lantern) are near one of those batteries you either get a buff or debuff depending on the ring you wear. Players with powersets other than a Lantern Corps, get neither.

EVERYONE hates being 'caged in'. So the ceiling and limits would be as normal to the other two cities. no strange invisible walls makes us happy :)

What do you think?

I think this *needs* to happen, but either that's demanding of me, or I can see how badly the community wants these ^ kinds of things.


peace

Unlike the Mist Bounties, these Iconics can make Hard Light Constructs, Bizzarro making two huge fists to smash, Aquaman making sea creatures and tidal waves out of the air, Robin making batarangs appear behind you, Black Adam holding you down with hand clap and firing lightning at you. you get the idea.

Suggested backstory.
Sapphire the Earth Two version of Carol Ferris; The StarHeart making these individuals like 'priests' of their entities. Since Sapphire has came to Earth one, she has become linked to The Predator, just like in her original Earth.. and like Alan Scott being linked to Ion, neither of them need to charge their rings (they don't have rings) to create constructs. .. it's like Hal Jordan is the number 1 General for the GL's and Alan Scott is their Priest.

Sapphire is actually evil, unlike Carol Ferris of Earth One. She went from street urchin to adult jewel thief after her father died when she was young and Ferris Aircraft went into liquidation (she was 8yo). This was how she first acquired the name 'Sapphire'.  She has killed people for money (as an assassin) until she met a dying Star Sapphire and felt the connection to The Predator of Earth Two, Sapphire remembered the love for her father.. and in this loneliness the Predator has pity and solace on her. Her story is almost identical to Hal's except she wasn't given a ring but imbued by the violet flame. The Predator saw in her the potential for great love. Note Alan Scott does not know that Ion existed in Earth Two. The Guardians did not exist, everything was done by the entities themselves.
