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

Also yesterday Mysa successfully completed the Respec Trial with a group of 8 lvl 26-27. We had 2 defender healers, a controller with confuse and group invis, two blasters, an awesome tanker (would love to see how he's slotted all his powers) and 2 scrappers.

Initially a very disorganized team. So bad I thought about just telling them to go to hell and leaving the team. One scrapper and the tanker were friends and wanted the xp, one of the blasters had failed the mish afew times and just wanted to ghost through to the end and no one could agree about anything. They keep cursing each other out and doing whatever they wanted.

Mysa had been made leader just before we accepted the mish and she finally had to put her foot down and tell them all to shut up or she would kick each and everyone one of them from the team and they could each start over on their own! (Mysa does have a bit of a temper as you all know )

That seemed to get their attention and everyone settled down and began working together instead of being at each others' throats. Once that happened the team really rocked!

Although there were a few deaths in the reactor core, it was mostly because they wandered too far afield for the heals to affect them.

That tank just stood there and knocked off Raider after Raider with just occasional heals from me! He probably could have cleaned out the place himself with just Mysa or the other healer along. Amazing!

In any case, we were successful in saving the reactor and they all earned their respec. SInce I didn't really need to change any power selections on Mysa, instead of the respec, Mysa chose a SO enhancement.

I think the Virtue Legion, with the right group in place could do very well and have a great time.

You are right Blue. A couple of the guys with Mysa said that it was 7 waves we had to withstand. WHile I didn't count, it seemed about right when we were done.

Hmm, with SL at 29, should we try to plan to do the Hess TF this weekend before Grev hits 31? On the boards it gets called the coolest TF in the game and a 'must-see'.

Anyone have Hess unlocked, or do we need to put that on this week's "to do" list?

BTW, almost have Prism's new build figured out! It looks like he'll be giving up Superior Invisibility, Enervating Field, Lingering Radiation and Recall Friend for Hasten and Stamina. The radiation powers are next to be re-picked... they are such an END drain I figure I'm okay with putting them off until I get stamina.

Recall Friend is the toughest to give up, but there are four pools I already want for Prism. (Flight, Speed, Fitness and Leadership) Flight is the one I'm least attached to, but I'm kinda emotionally attached to having him fly. Leadership sounds like it'll be really useful post-32, when he gets Phantasms.

Don't be surprised to see some new Legionnaires on Virtue & Infinity. I signed my nephew Tommy up for CoH with that freebie Valentine's Day offer since I knew he and his roommate (you've seen both of them around LW on occasion as Condo & Pol) would enjoy playing. Unfortunately their computer can't seem to handle the graphics or memory or something (it's faaaaaarrrrrr from new) so I now have a second 1 year sub to play with.

and you know what THAT means.....

Oh boy! More member s for Vee's Legion!

Look for Li'l Giant Gim (came out really neat looking in his blue & red costume) and Brin Wolf on Virtue. And who knows what other Legionnaires might turn up with all those slots to fill!

Now I just have to figure out how to play BOTH accounts at the same time! I think I might need a new laptop!

BTW, I noticed this weekend that we have a Generic Hero 059 in the Protector SG. Couldn't figure out who it might be. Looked like it hadn't been played in a few months and was only a level 3 tanker. But you might all want to check your rosters to see if its yours

Hmmm, Vee's Buffbot is probably coming....

That's too bad. I wonder how that one got caught if it hadn't been taken out... unless someone got reported for another character and that one got tagged as well (it sounds like they typically scan the whole account if they find something wrong to begin with... tho' not always).

Whoever had that character should have gotten an e-mail about it.

Looks like they're getting closer to
rolling out issue 4. I had some stuff
start downloading when I exited COH ...

On Live? Wow, I knew it was up on test (the pre-download). Interesting....

Probably Easter week...

Something else else else I heard suggested on the CoH forums... SG's could turn the arena into their own Danger Room having PVP battles within the SG. That seems like a good way to go, for me, since we're all pretty reasonable and we know each other, so we're less likely to have drama over PVP battles.

Hey hey....
Scottybones is actually my level 16 illusion/kinetic controller on your team.
Calorie Queen rocks...she is my firsttanker and at level 2 she was taking down level 6's.
88 is my level 32 earth controller (not on your team) but feel free o hit meup if you need some muscle.
Also joining your team was Nephratite & Sexy Enigma.
Not sure if Nephratite will stay around, not thrilled with the character.

if you ever wantto hit me up, email me, scottybones88@comcast.net and i will try to meet you guys on there.

After playing around a little with the hero creator (keep your eyes open for Night Lass and Kid Ferrous on Infinity and Xao Dragonmage on Protector) I logged in with poor Condo to see if could work some of his 49000 or so in debt off.

As I was heading to a Sky Raiders mission in Steel I saw a request for help seeking a lvl 16+ blaster. I offered Condo's help think it was prob a lower level defender or controller that was having a hard time with a Boss and figured I could exemp and work off debt that way.

Turns out my offer was accepted by a lvl 45 scrapper that was attempting to complete the Nemesis AV door mission. He could battle Nemesis to a stand still but neither could defeat the other.

Once I joined the team and he sidekicked me, we began battling Nemesis since he had already cleared out most of the minions on the two lower levels.

It took us about a full hour of blasting and pounding away at Nemesis before we finally took him down! God what a workout! My partner's RL wife joined us after about 45 minutes with her level 45 defender? with FF & Psychic blast but she spent most of her time running back out to contacts getting us more red inspirations (I was using 2-3 at a time in order to make a dent in his health bar ...and Nemesis has a personal force field that he uses coonstantly so it's difficult to damage him much at all.

In any case, we finally defeated him. I hadn't been in the mission long enough according to CoH (an hour wasn't long enough? ) to earn mission xp but my teammate then surprised me with a reward...

Woot! Burgers and beers for everyone!!!!!

Woot!

Don't spend it all at Icon.

Testing out another build this morning... I may have found one I like... I may drop Flash for Recall Friend since I'm not using Flash in the new build. (I'll have to test a little more to see if that holds.)

Global Chat is live!

So, where shall we meet for Legion night tonight?

Virtue?

Infinity?

Protector?

Grev & Condo are on Virtue

God I cant wait to play this game.

I have been waiting a mon th now for my copy and the guy reckons he sent it the day I ordered it so now I think im going to be left high and dry

So what happens at the start (If you dont mind) do you create your person sort of like in the sims? do you decided then if your going to be a healer or the other ones? (What else can you be?)
when do you pick your powers? do you stort with zero points and earn them doing stuff? what happens if you loss all your points?

I hope I get to play one day.

You start out by creating your hero.

You first pick their origin which includes 5 options (Natural, Mutantation, Magic, Science, or Technology)

Then you select from a power type (Blaster, Tanker, Scrapper, Defender, Controller)

Once you've selected, it opens up power sets for that type of hero. For example a blaster could be: Energy, Fire, Ice, Electric, or Devices. A Scapper could select from Katana, Broadsword, Martial Arts, Claws or Spines.

Then you get a a secondary power set to select as well. You start with one lower level power from your primary and secondary set (as you gain experience by defeating villains and completing missions you achieve higher levels and get additional powers.)

Once you've selected your powers you design your hero's look/outfit and finally you give him a name and bio.

Once you're done, you can enter the tutorial which is a sort of pratice zone called Outbreak or you can go directly to the main game. I would encourge you to do the tutorial the first time.

Can't wait for it to reach you so you can join us! Fee free to ask any other questions in the meantime.

Regarding losing points. What happenes is: If you are defeated by a villain, you are automatically teleported to the hospital where you are rejuvenated to full strength. Hospitals of course are expensive and you pick up debt for each visit.

When you have debt, you must pay it off. As you earn additional points of experience and influence (money) half of what you earn goes to debt reduction which slows down your progress towards achieving your next level.

Aaaargh!

I tried to do the Moonfire TF last night. The first mission is very hard, but doable... except that we had a couple of those dysfunctional members who just killed all strategy.

It was an interesting team... two controllers, one defender, one tank, one blaster and two Kheldians. Our immediate problem was that our blaster was level 25 and we were facing level 30 vampri. For some reason, he repeatedly asked for a SK, complaining that he wasn't hitting, and got no response from the team leader, the only 28 on the team.

Eventually we figured a strategy that hinged on waiting for the tank to pull all of the aggro and we'll just wail on 'em. It usually worked until, after a few successful battles the Kheldians would seem to forget and run ahead of the tank... even in one case where there was a Quantum boss (those guys can 1-shot a Kheldian) who the tank was still trying to get the attention of. Aaaargh! How did they get to level 50 if they don't know how a squishy needs to be played?

Aaaargh!

Since no one else showed up last night for Legion Night Grev and Condo had to handle Legion duty on their own.

But we had a blast doing so. Condo is in the middle of the Scroll of Teleilaku arc and there are some pretty neat missions in the arc. The last one we did last night had us in a very cool Circle of Thorns castle-type lair with all kind portals and ramparts and crystals etc. Really neat! You guys missed out on a fun night.

Caroline was told that Legion night was cancelled so she joined some friends of hers over on the Victory server instead (at least I think that's where she spend the night playing).

Sorry, lately it's been challenging for me to log on before 8PM on weekdays.

That is a cool mission tho it was frustrating when I tried solo'ing it. I think it might've been remapped in I3 because I got really lost the first time I tried it, but easily found my way around the second. I also gave up on it and waited to level up before returning because I just couldn't beat one of the portals fast enough... eventually there would be a mob of those minotaur-things too big for myself.

Anyone need Spelunker on Virtue? Jade may be playing that mission this weekend to help out the tank I played with last night.

Wonder who told her that?

Condo made it to lvl 30 last night with Grev's help and Grev is only a bubble and a half from achieving 30 as well!
