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

My new archer on Pinnacle is Hunter Fletcher, just so everyone knows.

And it's hard to make a ranger/Robin Hood-esqe costume WITHOUT looking like Ollie...

My new characters:

LyO, Peacebringer (Virtue)
The Oaken Quiver, Trick Arrow/Archery (Virtue)
The 4th of July Kid, Sonic Blast/Energy (Virtue)
Go-Go Johnny, Warshade (Triumph)
The Nocturnal Aria, Sonic Resonance/Sonic Blast (Triumph)
Diana Sharpe, Archery/Devices (Champion)
Serenity Pax, Empathy/Psi (Infinity)

So what does everyone think of I5 so far?

The new powersets are okay, but I have to
say that Croatia's content seems to be a
little skimpy. It's nice to have something
new to do, but they didn't set up any arcs
in this zone that I've been able to see
yet.

I do want to do the hat TF though.

The archers seem awfully powerful to me. Two of us were taking on much higher cons than what I remember my blaster taking on.

And I did the fires in Steel last night...fun, fun, fun.

The archers don't seem as powerful as the sonics do, to me. Maybe its because of the animation time.

And, for those who didn't know, I decided to hook up again for at least one month. And I'm having more fun with older builds (including my very first one) than the new ones.

Plus I got an invitation today in the mail for some kind of beta. Shocked the hell out of me.

You too huh?

It's great to see you back Scott. Hope we get to see you for a long time

Yeah, we must have been in the "Oh, we might as well invite them too" wave.

I'm going to take it one month at a time but I am having fun right now. When I find time to play. Haven't been able to since Tuesday.

I thought it was the "Hell, I can't come up with a defensible reason for keeping these guys out so let them in but lag everything big time so they'll get frustrated and leave." wave.

You just got to get into a mission then you're okay. Otherwise there are so many villains standing around it would through the Earth off its axis.

Just like in the regular game I just don't get paying to stand around and do nothing. Especially when you are supposed to be testing the program. The only thing being tested so far by most users is how many they can crowd around the first contact area.

Condo made it to 50!!!!

Congrats Vee!

OHMYGOSH, You did it !!!! Yay Vee ! Way to stay focused and to work for it. Happy for you sweetie, that's fantastic

Woo hoo! Congrats, Vee!

Yay, Vee!

Congrats on hitting 50, big guy!

Congratz, Vee!!!

BTW, between Prism and I (and Dex-El also) we can still do some serious power leveling for some of the lower level chars in the SG. Grev is at a great level to bridge and I'm going to be working on getting Mysa and Mon up into the lower 40s to serve as bridges as well. So bring 'em on!

So how low a hero can you PL? I might be interested in getting Garth at least up to his 30's.

Since I've come back, with a lot of help from Blue and his friends, my very first character, Gungnir, has gone from 17 to 28. He's about to pass up EAP as my highest level character.

If you have a bridge, you can PL anyone. Otherwise, you have to be within nine levels to get any XP off the PL'er. So that's where bridging comes in. Shadow Lad's 44, and he could SK Garth up to 43 so he could get mega XP from Condo.

I won't be around tonight for Legion Night. I'll be heading to the airport right after work for my flight to Boston for Wizard World. I won't have my laptop with me this time so I probably won't be be able to help Garth out until next week. But I'll be happy to!

Just have a fun time in Boston Vee!

Well Gungnir finally hit 30 tonight. Thanks to everyone for helping out! My first 30. Hell, if I can keep leveling like this he can hit 50 by Christmas.

Only if I don't help you get Garth there first

So I talked my GameStop out of a pre-order freebie for CoV (guilted them because they won't carry the timecards for CoH anymore). It came with a 14 day trial to CoH for two people, one for the purchaser and a friend. Of course they set it up so you can add it to your current account.

Does anyone out there need a 14 day freebie who doesn't already have an account or who wants a new one for 2 weeks?

NCSoft announced prices for CoV. There won't be any increase to the monthly subscription. You'll get both for $14.99 a month. The only thing you'll have to pay for is the game.

Woo hoo! I guess I will go ahead and get it now.

Seymour beat me to it! Here's the official announcement.

NCsoft unveils single subscription rate for City of Villains and City of Heroes players

City of Villains and City of Heroes customers can play both games for the single subscription rate of $14.99 per month

ALCATRAZ ISLAND, Calif., Oct. 5, 2005—NCsoft® North America has announced that customers will be able to subscribe to two of its massively multiplayer online games, City of Villains™ and City of Heroes®, for the subscription price of one. Subscribers to City of Villains and City of Heroes will have only a single subscription fee of $14.99 per month to have full access to both games.

City of Villains, a stand-alone sequel to last year’s hit, City of Heroes, is expected to be released on October 31, with a subscription price of $14.99 per month. The pricing plan means that current City of Heroes subscribers need only purchase City of Villains to play and enjoy features from both games. The games were developed by Cryptic Studios™.

Along with the value of being able to play the two games for $14.99, players will receive four additional character slots per game server, and access to crossover areas from both games such as player-versus-player zones in City of Villains. Additionally, City of Heroes’ players who subscribe to both games will have access to the base building and base raids featured in City of Villains.

“This single subscription rate for subscribers to City of Villains and City of Heroes represents a great value for our customers and demonstrates our efforts to put our players first,” said Robert Garriott, CEO of NCsoft North America. “We expect City of Villains to have a major impact on the PC games business, and this pricing structure should help continue to bring in new customers to the online, multiplayer game market.”

“Both games can be played on their own and will provide satisfying and exciting online adventures,” said Jack Emmert, creative director for Cryptic Studios, “By keeping the cost to $14.99 for subscribers to both games, we are encouraging players to use all of the functionality we built into the games. We created a heroes game and a villains game and we figured it is a lot more fun to have good guys and bad guys tangle without charging double for the opportunity to do so.”

The announcement of the pricing structure was made at the City of Villains preview event on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco.
