We sure do! Legion nights have been pretty light the last several weeks.
On the plus side, we got a new member last night. Star Cub sent me a message because a friend of his had spotted our Legion SG. Don't know much about him yet, so hopefully he'll show up here soon.

We had a full team of 8 last night, and it was a blast -- literally: We got wiped out (some of us twice) almost as soon as we stepped inside a Council mission. So we started hunting instead and had a good time. I even pulled Saturn Lady out of mothballs since most of the people playing were lower level than Shadow Lad. Long Live the Legionnaires of Virtue!!
And I haven't received my Mark Waid issue yet. I was good and didn't buy it at the store a few weeks ago since I'd be getting a copy free.

Here is an advanced warning for everyone. You know I haven't been playing but Caroline has been using my account since her's expired so my time was wasted. Well TPTB at NCSoft are cracking down on characters that she hasn't touched and I haven't played in over six months. They are not only busting names but costumes and battle cries as well. Here is the text of my warning:
quote:Hello,
The character(s) listed below were recently reported to have a name and costume that violates the USER AGREEMENT (EULA) Section 4e and Rules of Conduct (RoC) #16 and is not allowed to be used. In an effort to limit the interruption of your game play as much as possible, a temporary name was assigned to the character(s) listed below and the costume(s) has been reset to basic tights. For each costume that has been reset your character has been granted a free costume change at any Icon tailor shop. We are sending you this notice to provide you an opportunity to correct this. Please make sure that your new costume is unique and does not in any way resemble a copyrighted character.
We also have noticed that the character(s) reported also contained a profile and/or battle cry which violates the USER AGREEMENT (EULA) Section 4f. The support team has removed the inappropriate profile. To update the game to reflect the change, please log in with the character and delete the profile and select OK. Once you clear the profile and select OK, you will be able to go back and edit the profile again. Once you have replaced the profile, it will be necessary to zone or log the character out and back in for the profile change to take effect.

Account: Original Character Name / Server: Chemical King on Champion Intellectual Property: DC Comics Motto: "Long Live the Legion!" Costume Slots Changed: 0, 1 Two free tailor sessions granted
Account: Original Character Name / Server: Fox Mulder FBI on Pinnacle Temporary Character Name: generichero2362 Intellectual Property: X-Files Motto: "The Truth is Out There!" Costume Slots Changed: 0 One free tailor session granted

Account: Original Character Name / Server: Victor Stone on Liberty Intellectual Property: DC Comics Costume Slots Changed: 0 One free tailor session granted
Account: Original Character Name / Server: Snake Plissken on Infinity Intellectual Property: Escape From New York Costume Slots Changed: 0 One free tailor session granted
We are reviewing the account for other characters that may need to be changed due to intellectual property violations. The City of Heroes support team will contact you if any other characters will need to be changed.
If you have any other characters with costumes that in any way resemble a protected intellectual property, they are also in violation of the EULA and will have to be changed. Please reply to this email with a list of any characters on your account that will need to be changed. Make sure you specify which costume slots on each character need to be changed. We will reset each costume to plain tights and at the same time grant the character a free costume change at the Icon tailor shop for each reset costume slot. This will allow your character to change to a new costume of your own design that is not in violation of the copyright without costing any influence. The support team will not modify any Titles the character may have as a result of this incident.
If you wish to change the temporary name for these characters, you can reply to this message and include 3 new character names, in order of preference, for each character that you wish to keep. Please be sure to specify which names should be used for which character. If all three character names are already in use, the first name may be used with numbers or other characters appended to the name to make it unique. If the three new character names you supply are inappropriate you may forfeit the opportunity to change the name of the character. If you are in doubt as to whether a name is appropriate, it is best to choose a different name. Once we receive the new name choices from you we will change the name.
Failure to complete this request may result in account suspensions or termination if your account is discovered violating copyright policies in the future.
Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this matter. Please ensure that you are familiar with both the EULA and RoC, which you may find at the URLs given below.
Just to note. Don't rely on them allowing you a character name change. The only other character I had bust was one named after the rock group Porno for Pyros. Someone found it objectionable and reported him. I gave three names to have changed and they agreed to one of the names. To this day (8 months later) they still have not changed him from his Generic Hero###.
I'll not only be deleting the characters listed here but will definitely not be renewing my account.

Is not one of mine. Caroline has a Chemical King. (note the period) on Champion who hasn't been used. He is a level one. The character busted is obviously at least 20th level (note the two tailor sessions and two costume slots). So they are busting me for someone else. Real nice of them isn't it?

My Snake is Snake Plissken? (note question mark). I find this truly troubling that they are not paying attention to accounts when sending out these warnings. This is wrong.
Oh, and I noticed my characters totally stolen from their own properties haven't been touched. So we can 'rip off' their intellectual properties?

And to add more to this. I informed them they were giving me account information that was not my own and how troubling that was. Their reply? I had not answered them from an e-mail account on record with them and that I would have to add it to my account before they would reply.
Hello! I replied from the e-mail account they sent it to, the only one I have on file with them. So they obviously don't want to deal with the fact they screwed up.
If any of you have credit card information on your accounts I would suggest removing it.

Caroline says you guys were trying to come up with a replacement for "Long Live the Legion". I suggest you replace it with "Long Live the LMBP".

Overall, the important thing is being able to get PA up once a battle. Once PA wears off, it would usually recharge in the time it would take me to finish off a mob using Spectral Wounds and Blind. I have Hasten only 5-slotted. With AM active, it can be perma with only 5.
As I got closer to 32, I started focusing on the secondaries that can help pets... with empathy I'm wondering how much you can slot some of its buffs like fortitude. Also, if you can find room for it and can afford the endurance, you might want to pick up Leadership.

Whoo-hoo! Prism Lord saved Paragon City from the Praetorean invasion last night! Took down Anti-Matter, Neuron, Bobcat and Shadowhunter down solo! Anti-Matter did kill me twice, his blasts hit hard, but I got him twice as well.
Hoo-yeah! Countess Crey is next, I think. Then the Madame of Mystery. then Nemesis.

Thanks for posting the build, Lyle. It looks fairly close to Princess's, at least on the Illusion side, though I do need to ehnahce PA some more.
Congrats on all the whomping!

Okay, my five free days on CoH are over, and I gotta give a big Thanks to Vee! You helped get Doc Nimbus from 19th level up to 24th in one weekend! I enjoyed playing with almost everyone again, and I'm looking forward to gaming with you again. It was awesome seeing Prism in action! He's a whole City of Heroes on his own!
