A Very Personal Dissatisfaction.. The Return
Hi guys
So last week I realized what DB are doing in regards to the direction of the content.. let me explain..
So we have major events now, the Starro Event being the first one, but also a new event in the anniversary event. Both I would class as (time limited) meta content and the magic content is year round, its a DLC, not time limited, I became incensed with anger about this when I realized.
I have stopped playing the Starro content.
I am a meta guy, and even though I pay membership, I should have to put up with no DLCs suited to me??
no. way.
Two DLCs.. both magic?? WHY AM I PAYING FOR A SUBSCRIPTION?
It's like they are creating meta DLC's then taking then away and only leaving us with magic content the year round. WHY??
This game is already choked with Magic content as shown : HERE :
I'm Scottish and at times.. I feel a stream of swearing coming on.. but I will gracefully skip that.
I am only logging in now to hangout with friends.
I am so angry.
So ... no Lantern Healer. No new Meta DLCs. Time Capsules RNG hitting harder and harder, I spent a fortune on the last one, and got two useful items, a flash emblem and the magic crystal supply drop.
I'm done financially supporting this game.

Morality of The Indigo Tribe & Star Sapphires ..
Hi guys
TL : DR Warning; if you got 10 mins break, grab a cuppa cha or java, stick some music on and have a read!
TL : DR Warning; if you got 10 mins break, grab a cuppa cha or java, stick some music on and have a read!
Y'know.. I watch a lot of Comicstorian and Comics Explained on YT, while working on guitars, fixing paint chips and the like can take ages, and I find this passes the time quickly.
I had seen and been a part of a debate a few months ago, on the morality of Star Sapphires and Indigo Tribe*, since then I have had many more thoughts, realizations, and gained more information, with much thanks to the above, Comicstorian and Comics Explained.
Q: Could the Villain faction of DCUO be members of The Indigo Tribe?
Prose; Yes:
The original morality of an Indigo Tribe member is kept by a majority of them, so once relieved of their rings, they are innately villains. They also act in the best interest in those they are allied to, so if in a group of other villains they could co-operate to remove a stronger threat, e.g. Brainiac.
The ring, would seek out the most compassionless individuals, and since our rings in DCUO are reservists rings, it is not only possible but likely that some rings would seek out the villain faction of our world.
Prose; No:
The ring itself is parasitic, and so whatever morality they had before bearing the ring is null and void. Their actions correspond to the wishes of the ring not the morality of the person wearing the ring. Indigo-1 even wishing the compassion of the ring to be returned so making her 'heroic'.
The ability to change the individual's morality, through not enforcement, but a natural wish from the original person, indicates that the bearer can change morality which we in DCUO cannot.
Prose; both:
The thought that Indigo Tribe members are playing in villain faction, just to give them aid, makes a lot of sense, being former villains themselves, returning to be compassionate to current villains. Also this would be a way for them to recruit new members. Iroque has now crossed over to Heroic, so we can also have a heroic faction Indigo Tribe members being former villains whom have given up their villainous ways.
The above invites both factions to be Indigo Tribe members, the reservist rings, searched out villains and some converted to being heroic, and some did not, alines itself with the situation we have in the comics.
The Devs enforce the idea of Indigo Tribe neutrality, during Oa under Siege, and so the villain faction has already been given aid during the blackest night era, whether or not this is 'extreme circumstance' is unclear.
Q: Could the Villain faction of DCUO be members of The Star Sapphires?
Prose; Yes:
It is little known that the Entity of the Star Sapphires 'The Predator' is actually a villain, who lures women* with the parasitic Star Sapphire ring to joining the corps, and even encases them in crystal to brainwash them into his corps.
The Predator's motives are evil, and so yes villains could be members of the Star Sapphires, as the parasitic reservists rings would act on his motivations.
Prose; No:
Carol Ferris is undoubtedly Heroic, and inspires the whole corps to be like her, and so as they are perceived to be heroic, and Carol Ferris inspires love through acts of heroism, it is impossible to reconcile the intentions and moralities of both Carol Ferris and The Predator.
This makes a situation while, The Predator *is* evil, the corps as a whole is not. And since we are playing as corps-women we cannot be villainous since the inspiration for our power is heroic.
Prose; Both:
While I correctly stated above it is impossible to reconcile the intentions and moralities of both Carol Ferris and The Predator, the ring overrides the hosts morality by it's parasitic nature, furthermore, we have observed by the stories in DCUO, the members of the Star Sapphires can have 'the fog lifted' in their minds, and exert *some* of their original morality, when Hal and Sinestro speak to Carol at the end of the Love and War raids, she 'shakes off' the influence of the Predator after being beaten and confronted by her true love.
Q: Can Star Sapphire members be both male and female?
Prose; Yes:
There is an instance where John Stewart was a Star Sapphire member, so this suggests it is not impossible.
Prose; No:
With the given exception above, there has never been another male Star Sapphire, the Devs even have already decided to make all Star Sapphires members female throughout all of the instances/alerts/raids.
It seems this has already been decided, and this is very much canon with the comics.
Prose; Both:
Should we have this Corps join us in DCUO, we should have female only corps-women and could have a Legend Character of Star Sapphire John Stewart. This would keep us 'in canon' and sate some people's desires for a male Star Sapphire.
I hope you enjoyed my little 'article' on the morality of these two corps.
have a great and bizarre day!

*(The Predator is male)
From another post on my Blogger
As I laid out before, the ability to switch rings for lantern healers would be cool. The above is my placeholder for a Blue Lantern Healer which could also switch to Indigo Tribe being a Hero, but being male, could not be a Star Sapphire, with BetaAtom being a Hero, could have access to all three power ring corps. A Villain female char would have access to Indigo Tribe and Star Sapphire.. it is little known about the Star Sapphire that the 'Predator' is a villain and it is because Carol Ferris is a Hero we see them as heroes. Male Villains would only have access to Indigo Tribe as they are Neutral.
hmm i feel like doing a flowchart :D

| Indigo Tribe
--Hero--> |

Female --

It's an agonizing wait until they (DB) finish the Lantern Trifecta, it's not 'confirmed' but as Mepps put it will be 'considered' along with a load of other new powers to be considered, but seeing how it has major support from both the Lantern fan base and even Lantern opponents (people who don't want new Lantern content but sympathize that there should definitely be a Lantern Healer) ..I think Lantern Healer will get bumped to if not top, near top of the queue.

Considering that the vast majority of Star Sapphires are aliens, they are not necessarily bound by the binary constructs of human genders.
There could be species that are Asexual. I doubt that Mogo has traditional intercourse with a female planet. The qualifier is the ability to feel great love, not to have a specific gender."
*corrected the spelling of binary. see italics
Hi Caleb & Jen
What you suggest is not how the game or comics deal with the canon of the work.
http://metropolisherald.blogspot.com/2016/09/lantern-healer-reworked.html
"It's within current canon inside the game due to vendors and (an) instance.
Blue Lantern for both hero genders, available from the vendor in Mogo (cr 97 'Shepherd of Adara')
Indigo Tribe available for both genders and both factions in WT/HoD (iirc around 110-120 cr 'Vesture of Proselyte')
Star Sapphire for Females of both factions as a reward in Love and War (iirc 97 'Heart of the Predator' )"
I don't believe in 'fluid genders' myself but I don't have a horse in that race, I'm solidly male. And remember these comics were written by my generation and the generation before mine.. I think its unlikely that was foremost in their minds either, but I don't know their minds and could be wrong.

New Pollen Aura/s coming in next Spring Event.. confirmed!
Hi guys
I LOVED the pollen aura from the Spring Event, it's a golden dust, that shakes down from your body.. I asked on #askdcuo and SJ confirmed; we will be seeing a colour variant or variants in the next spring event.
This made me VERY happy! :)
The Pollen Aura is my #1 aura behind my OG auras*, I use it for Fire DPS, Gadgets Troller, Atomic DPS, Main armory Sorc DPS, Nature Healer and Muni Troller.
The idea of more or all colour variants is stormin'!
SJ was a little secretive about the upcoming new aura, so we didnt get to find out if we are getting all colours, and Trexlight didn't upload the #askdcuo session so I can't check again..but thats what I would like to see :) .. purchasable via the seasonal vendor and winnable via the vault and as extras in instances.
peace
Sigma
*I have a few 'won' of OG auras on Sigma (around 8 bb, and around 15 GL, i think?), but for all my chars I have the aura packs.

Crossover Powersets.. A Daydream..
Hi
While I play I oft imagine this or that.. its important to the enjoyment of my playing.
Here is one idea that has been going around my head for a VERY long time; Crossover Powersets.
If you have seen my post on Fire and how I thought it was already a crossover powerset (an old glitch that was fixed in 2013) you'll already know where I am coming from.
We already have a crossover powerset in Sorcery, that we have: a DPS Pet, Healer Pet, and a Tank Pet. Fury DPS, Watcher Healer and Guardian Tank. I must say the devs have done a great job with Guardian as Tank.. he is *OK* and I mean he is OK for a proper human group member, like a novice *human* Tank player. He gets how to Tank. I am very pleased with him currently, and if we are without a Tank, I will switch to my Tank Pet Armory, which is me in DPS stance with Guardian and he is, if not perfect, a close and *useable* Tank.
Fire I feel would make a great second addition to crossover powersets. In DPS stance, I would like to see 'Inferno' heal players within the AOE, giving them a slight HoT.. aptly named hehe, a slight HoT and damage out-based healing while you are aflame. That would be enough. nothing else would be needed.
In Tank stance for Fire, I think it already provides white damage immunity, but i'd have to check that.
For Gadgets Controller.. I would like to have a pet that acts like Watcher does but for Power. A Controller Pet, we have Drone, which does do this in a strange kinda way, he just generally PoTs the group and doesn't charge anyone. A major problem is that he is a supercharge, if he were a normal power he could be permanent, he shield (up to 4), revive KO'd players, PoT and charge.
For Turret, it might be good to make him a Tank, as he does *such pitiful damage* especially compared to Fury and Crystal, at least then as a Tank he could be a usable group member in DPS stance.
I think that would complete the Crossover Powersets :)
regardless I am glad to have shared these ideas
have a great day!

-------------------------------
Sorcery = Healer/DPS Crossover = Tank (Pet)
Fire = Tank/DPS Crossover = Healer
Gadgets = Controller/DPS Crossover = Tank (Pet) and improved Pet Controlling.
I spent some time testing Turret as a Tank (I was DPS stance), he was *awful* in FOS3, the mobs just ignored him, I would have liked to see his grenade be a Tank taunt, as it does near zero damage (he was cr 171 the mobs were cr 80 and he couldn't damage them with the grenade at all and with the rest of his attacks, while he did do a little damage, it was so little while I was waiting for him to kill them, I lost half my health O.O) .
I know Gadgets is AM powerback, and so you get the crits like Mental, but this is not so in Troller Stance, so this could be remodeled to be more like Sorcery but for Controller Stance only.
Fire does still have issues with the AM powerback, but these are seemingly intentional. I would remove the 'Volatility' so the AM could start working like other powers do normally.

Highest being a T5 iirc QDPS.I have a 'placeholder char' for a blue lantern.. which might end up being Water, but I doubt it, I think I will switch my moonlighting char (names a secret) to Water as I resent not having a lantern healer yet, but im just being a baby. hehe. it's true.. but when i would be playing as Water Sigma, it's all I would be thinking about and so ruin the experience.

ITS TWINS! :D
DPS
Mental /=/ Gadgets
Fire /=/ Ice
Earth /=/ Sorcery
I find Fire and Ice Tank very dissimilar when practising, and think Fire is a lot like Rage and Atomic Tanking. But I don't have *any* in game experience Ice Tanking. I get the idea though.
Nature and Electric DPS have similarities, but I don't know if i'd go as far as call them 'twins'.

The above is my placeholder for a Blue Lantern Healer which could also switch to Indigo Tribe being a Hero, but being male, could not be a Star Sapphire, with BetaAtom being a Hero, could have access to all three power ring corps. A Villain female char would have access to Indigo Tribe and Star Sapphire.. it is little known about the Star Sapphire that the 'Predator' is a villain and it is because Carol Ferris is a Hero we see them as heroes. Male Villains would only have access to Indigo Tribe as they are Neutral.
hmm i feel like doing a flowchart :D
Male ---
| Blue Lantern
| Indigo Tribe
--Hero--> |
|
|
Female --
Blue Lantern
Indigo Tribe
Star Sapphire
Male ---
| Indigo Tribe
--Villain-->|
|
Female --
Indigo Tribe
Star Sapphire
It's an agonizing wait until they (DB) finish the Lantern Trifecta, it's not 'confirmed' but as Mepps put it will be 'considered' along with a load of other new powers to be considered, but seeing how it has major support from both the Lantern fan base and even Lantern opponents (people who don't want new Lantern content but sympathize that there should definitely be a Lantern Healer) ..I think Lantern Healer will get bumped to if not top, near top of the queue.

*(I have a female char called 'BetaAtom' she *was* nature, but I got so frustrated wanting her to be a healer lantern SS I changed her to Rage *just* to get a power ring.
*Future Brainiac SigmaAtom hehe
*E9 = Earth 9 of the multiverse
--------------------------
ITS TWINS! :D
DPS
Mental /=/ Gadgets
Fire /=/ Ice
Earth /=/ Sorcery
I find Fire and Ice Tank very dissimilar when practising, and think Fire is a lot like Rage and Atomic Tanking. But I don't have *any* in game experience Ice Tanking. I get the idea though.
Nature and Electric DPS have similarities, but I don't know if i'd go as far as call them 'twins'.

'Content Branch Wings'.. Tech Meta Magic
I have seen a few people say on the forums, that there has been 'enough' lantern content. Last week it struck me how much content is magic centric..

It came to my attention, that Lantern Powers are technology based. Perhaps it's the entities who are meta. and the Guardians learned how to harness their power.
I have seen a few people say on the forums, that there has been 'enough' lantern content. Last week it struck me how much content is magic centric..
I will redo this and include LoA and Lanterns as Tech, Spectre as Magic (which I find really offensive), and HoP as Meta, shame since it talks and feels like Magic content.

The areas for Meta are too small to be considered a 'new land'. The HoP area is appallingly small, and while I do like Central City, likewise, is it not even the size of Little Bohemia to consider it a 'city' which Gotham Wastelands is; large enough to be a new city.
Since 2012 players have been asking to expand Central City, I have been one of those players. If the Devs took Little Bohemia and used it as template for Central City, giving us the ability to have player bases, to have the CC bounties in Central City, they could use the new city to be cut-up for the later usage, which is what Central City is now, a small cut up area.
As far as New Genesis goes.. I never go in there, don't like it. It is super tiny because of the cavernous causeways and room size ceiling.. after setting the tone of Gotham and Metropolis, you could tell the Devs LOVED what they were doing, and in so much as this, I could instantly tell, they had not put the same love into New Genesis when I saw the tight ceiling size, and felt this was an evaluation of us as players, what we were worth to them. And in this, I was never going to like the content, which I initially tried to as I was unfamiliar with Darkseid et~al.

LoA content is technically Tech but with a little magic thrown in.
wasn't sure if to include.
I did not include the Spectre
as I would class that as Meta. but it's mixed Meta and Tech.
I dunno if the Spectre's meant to be magic, but since his basis is the real life Angel Raphael, so I'll say no.
I did not include Halls of Power,
which feels to me like
Magic content. I have no idea
what its all about. im not a fan.
Halls of Power.. is something about a guy who seems Meta or Tech, but then he's chasing a magic item of the Source to get it to talk, his backup is a bunch of people who look like they had too many disco biscuits and caused then escaped from a paintball factory explosion. The hero guys talk you like you are a piece of dirt and call themselves 'Gods' and there are insects for no apparent reason running around a small area getting killed that you have to save.. oh and there is a load of dead people attacking you called dregs that look like they escaped from Skyrim. Stop me if this gets too weird!
.. so far sounding like magic to me..
If this is what DC has up against GoTG.. flip! I had a goood and groovy time watching that movie! I understood it. this ^..nah. dont like it.
