Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine City of Heroes: Your Chance to be a Legionnaire - Part 2

I dunno, it seems like DC legal goes back and forth on those things. I know their policy to fansites goes from fairly lenient to lenient if demands are met (usually lots of disclaimers and sometimes redesign demands to make a site look unofficial) to stronger measures.

Overall, tho, I think someone at DC gets that fans expressing their love of the properties is good, as long as no one mistakes Betty's Dick Grayson slash fiction archive as being official.

LL, I think you've got a good idea. Considering the base CoH has developed, it'd be much easier and more profitable (in the long run) to liscence Cryptic to make CoH expansion packs and run a few servers set in the Marvel U.

Based on the article I think Cryptic's biggest problem is that they had semi-knockoffs in the player's guide. It'd be one thing if they said "Oh, well, we can't spot every Virgina Woolferine (keep her away from a typewriter) and Feenux out there." but an official book actualy suggested it.

Actually, it didn't. The cartoon was making fun
of people who created toons based on comic book
characters.

hey so we chould probably lay low on the avengers of virtue for a while then huh

Sounds like a call for the... oh, gee, what did we call our Mythos SG?

Brainy -- we've got a SG of characters inspired by the CoH mythos... children of Paragon City baddies or similar characters (I've got a woman who was kidnapped and turned into what was meant to be the Clockwork King's bride). Feel like joining us? I don't think anyone's done a Lost or Ruularu themed character. (And I did a list of character ideas on the old thread, if the post didn't get lost.)

Mythos SG?

actaully I have a minx clone on triumph... what server are you guys on?

Aw, I didn't edit my post fast enough. Look at my post above, I added some stuff.

My other character is the son of the Lord of Frosts (the leader of WWII Japanese super team the Imperial Wind) from the Axis America universe (where the Axis won WWII).

A couple places to look for inspiration:

Hey, guys. Got Blue's 3rd costume today.
What do you think?





This time I made the interior of the cape the
reverse of the exterior.

Nice!

Looks good Thomas. I see you are now showing you face in battle.

OooooH! I like that one! Congrats to Blue!

Pariahs of Paragon is the name, I think.

Thanks, guys.

I wanted one that was more classically heroic
than Blue's regular outfit, but somehow still
reflected the fact that he used armor. I like
the results. 8-)

Hey, guys. It took a long time last night
but Prism and I got out of debt-- after dying
one more time after you left!-- and Prism picked
up flight for Shadow at 14 and I picked swift for
Bluette at 16.

So where would everyone like to play? I'd still
like to spend some time working on Star so I can
pick up Mutate for him at 16 and the Positron
TF, but since we have new players with low levels
I wouldn't mind playing Xs Ive on Virtue either.
She's an 8 and she picks up speed boost at 12 so
she'd be fun to play.

I got some big influence last night from
helping out a high level friend by being an
enhance dump, so I'm going to get Red Bee some
DOs and see if I can make him tough enough to
hit 14 and get flight. I just wish he wasn't so
gimped ...

I wouldn't mind working on Brainwave Jr or
Colorific either.

So I guess I'm good for the following servers
today:

Infinity

Protector

Pinnacle

Triumph

Virtue

Anyone got a preference?

Prism,

I have a question. You've got both
superior invisibiity and group invisiblity
for Prism Lad. From what I know, you can't
use your powers when you use Superior Invis,
but you can when you use group. Group has a
time limit ... but Superior doesn't?

How much of an endurance hog is SI anyway?

Guess I'm on a roll today ...

Has anyone heard from Doc Nimbus lately?

I don't want to get Andrew leveled out of
the TF in case he's needed again, but I also
want to get him up to 22 so I can pick up
stamina and FINALLY start getting real powers
again. 8-)

Finally ... does anyone know where I
can get the map patch and how to
install it? For some reason, the
level 30 tech heroes' contact is
placed smack dab in the middle of
the 37-39 baddies in Founder's Falls
so Blue doesnt want to have to look
around for it all the time. 8-)

You can get the mappatch at Heroeshideaway.com or by clicking here

When you click on the map patch link on that page it will trigger the download function. Make sure you read the information about it before installing the map patch.

We haven't played on Protector in ages so I would love to do that. Any of them are fine by me though, just post here where you're going to be.

SI is a toggle you turn on and off and can last as long as your endurance. However, you can't affect anything but yourself. I'd estimate that SI's endurance burn is similar to sprint or a little more. I could probably do 3/4 of a lap around Steel Canyon with both SI and sprint on.

GI allows freedom to attack and use powers but has a time limit.

Oh, and I'm probably most into the idea of playing on Protector with Mystery Man or Pyrefly, my fire tank.

And did you catch that the map patch will eventually be obsolete? Yea! Hopefully they'll do this in Update 3.

Protector is fine by me, guys.

When do you want to play? I just found
a couple of websites with badges and
plaque locations so I'm going to get
those for a while if I can figure out
the ingame GPS system. 8-)

Guys,

Bluette's SG has decided to do Positron now.

With luck,I'll be free this afternoon/evening.

Okay, guys.

The TF is done for today. If anyone wants
to hop onto Protector, I'm ready.

Did learn a few things that will come in
handy for Legion of Infinity though.

First, I'd say that 4 is the magic number for
that TF. We only had to deal with one Eid in
the sewer mish ... and that was the boss.

The 2nd is that I don't know what they expect
controllers to do in that mish ... it's no fair
that the Vahz zombies are so hard to hold ...
that takes the main job of a controller like
Star away ... that's like sending Beauty against
a horde of baddies who are totally immune to her
fire blasts and expecting her to brawl her
way through it...


Anyway, I'll check on Protector to see if anybody
is playing unless someone posts they are on other
servers.
