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

The 4th of July Kid hit level 14 last night (yea!) and got himself teleport, the travel power that fits his concept.

Bleah. It looks cool to see someone else use it but bleah. It's a major END drain... travelling a small distance depleted my bar and using it was pretty frustrating, too.

I'll love it once that "Teleport to point on map" power kicks in, tho.

I think I'm going to try to get Yesterday Girl some levels tonight... she's on either Guardian or Champion.

Man I was SO bummed thinking that the Wls were going to be gone today! But look at this article I just found (at game spot, I think)...

The heroes of Paragon City need to break out their fur-lined capes as NCsoft and Cryptic Studios have kicked off the City of Heroes Winter Event
Sending us these screenshots from City of Heroes, NCsoft announced that an Winter Event will run for several months and new features will be added in stages during the life of the event. The event includes the appearance of a variety of snow beasts in most of Paragon City’s zones. Also, the colder temperatures will create ice sheets on many of Paragon City’s lakes and ponds. When a snow beast is defeated, heroes will be given gifts, including granting a temporary snowball power. The snowballs can be used on other heroes, with no ill effects except for the indignity of being hit by a snowball.

So I guess we WILL have Winter Lords to kick around for a while!

Who's gonna bother with missions any more?

Man, the lag around these things is gonna be terrible now. And, after last night, I'm wondering if the WLs are worth it after a certain level. At only 400, at best, XP per kill last night with so many heroes catching on, I think for the likes of Princess and Shadow Lad, even Saturn Lady, missions are better overall.

Speaking of missions, I noticed the last time I was on the test server that they were increasing the mission XP for teams of 4 or more -- the promised teaming carrot.

Vee, we do Maybe, maybe not... the Winter Lords may not be a part of the next phase of the event. I like the speculation that we're heading towards the arrival of the Winter King, a snow AV.

BTW, which servers do you have free spots? I'll try to find a place for MULTIPLICITY tonight.


I think that may have been the point of the odd-setup, after all. I mean, it's sure exciting at lower levels, but farming WLs gets old fast unless you're a major altaholic.

Oh. Yeah.

The boss rollback is there, too, which I can't wait for... Captain Hottie wants to finish the Freaklympics storyline.

Where will we be playing tomorrow night?

Any objections to Protector? We haven't played the re-imagined Legion since we started them, IIRC...

I'd love to but we have some new members in the SG who are looking forward to joining us on Virtue. COuld we do Protector next week?

I'd like to play on Protector, but Virtue is
okay too. Are we going to be playing little
characters or main ones? I'd still like to
work on Xs Ive, so I'd like to do the little
ones ...

Are we going to try TF this weekend?

I would suggest the little ones on Virtue. Most of the newbies are either mid teens or lower.

And it would be a blast having one or two teams of Legionnaires of Virtue battling Winter Lords all over Kings Row. That would really help all the Little ones level up.

Hope you all have fun!

Not everyone needs to play lower chars. It's useful to have some big kids on the team for maximum xp. Why not bring Garth along and join us? Garth could get some bubbles and power level all of us!

I'd have to want to play Garth and, to be honest, I'm not interested. The only character I care to play anymore is EAP. He's turned out to be the most balanced one I've ever made.

I'm sure eventually I'll tire of playing him but by then you all will be level 50 and look like weird alien globs.

Vee, I've gone and reserved MULTIPLICITY on Champion and Liberty... it's already taken on Virtue and Guardian. Do either of those servers work? I'll check the others when I have more time (it's taking a while with long load times).

BTW, did the WLs seem extra frequent last night? There were times in KR when we were fighting three at once... in KR where heroes are quick to knock them down.

I think either one of those two servers works fine for me. Really, while I have something on every server, the only ones that are full are Virtue, Infinity, & Protector because of my legion-alt addiction.

Last two days have clearly had much more frequent spawns including multiple simultaneous spawns in various spots in KR.

You could always "clone" EAP on Virtue and call him Edgar Allen Computo!

...or Proty

By the way, if we're WL hunting tonight, I think I'm going to bring in Prism and get him exemplared. The XP is nice, but I could use that kind of influence more.

Good idea particulalry since the xp is nice but the influence is terrible hunting WLs.

Prism needs to raise funds for his SOs. I'm thinking to trying to get as minimal an exemp as possible to contribute to the group but still the the beaucoup influence.

Tas, Mon and Sunboy's new Jan Arrah are on Virtue as an advance team awaiting the rest of the Legion.

I'll be there soon, guys. I'm helping Temp
level, and then I need to see what I can eat
for dinner. 8-)

Last night was fun, guys.

Xs Ive loves her super speed!

And when we do Positron, she can give everyone
a speed boost to get where we're going!

Yeah it was fun wasn't it. It was neat to get to play with some of the new guys. Aren't Legion fans the nicest people?

BTW ~ Shadow Lad, Tasmia Mallor, Condo, & Mysa need to keep their eyes open for a message from Kamen Rider Zex. He has definitley decided that he wants to make either a Wildfire (or possibly a Matter Eater Lad ) for the group and said he will look for us when he's on with the char in order to get him inducted. His Kamen char is a member of another SG so he couldn't have him join.

Oh yeah! Mon got his cape!!!!!!!!! Never got a picture though so I'll have to do that today and post it. Looks awesome! He went 0-20 in 2 & 1/2 days just hunting WL.

I should have added that Sunboy (Lar Gand on Infinity) decided to make Jan Arrah on Virtue and is now a member. Also, we inducted Ferric Boy's alts into the group as well (Lectric Lad, Val Armorr, and a non-Legion alt named Ace S Nates) So now you know who they are.

I failed to ask Shadow Lass (another newbie) when he mentioned he Spark and Aria Star chars whether she wanted to have them inducted as well so if anyone runs into her before I do, please be sure to make her the offer.
