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

"hey stay away from my sister buddy! . . . and this goes for you too Williams" -Quicksilver

anyway looks like erg is gonna me Timberwolf MK1 and I will be Brainy V (got him to 6 last night ;-) ) Should probably add us to you friends list so you know when we come online... We are west coast I have work till 5 or 6 (Pacific Time) and Erg might be playing a little Vs. CCG so expect us around 6:30 Pacific 9:30 Eastern (though it may be a little before that)

Man it looks like I play a lot of guys honestly it's only 10% of my chars. You guys should run with my black canary or batgirl... I think I just got tired of being hit on...

I think I may do Wanda if I can get the costume somewhat close. I'll have to see when I get home. If not, maybe....

"Hey buddy don't talk that way about my sister... oh wait you mean oh ok then" - Quicksilver

Erg tried it when I made quicksilver but it looked more like the force works years unless you go with the full head mask and lose the hair... looking forward to seeing it though...

Hey cool! Some westcoasters on the team!

Since I didn't see any Invisible Kids on the Infinity roster, I made Lyle Norg an MA/Regen scrapper. He'll be picking up concealment in the power pools, getting the invis that way.

You mean you missed my Invisible Lyle?

Should be fun running them together at some point. Mine is an illusion/empathy controller.

Ack! Yes, I did... looks like I missed him, too, when I did the big compilation of rosters... oh, and on the top o' the page as well.

No biggie! Looking forward to meeting him.

What time are we going to play tonight?


I got Bluette up to 15 now. She now has a
six slotted snipe and a title: the Valiant
Blue Battlette.

Brainy and I should be on no later than 6:30 pacific

but maybe earlier looks like I can get out at 5:30 so prolly be online at like 6 pacific

Cool! BTW, Scarlet Wanda is ready to go for the Avengers team. She's an empathy/energy defender just like Mysa.

The mask drove me bonkers until I came across cat ears. Those along with a partial face mask comes close to Wanda's real look. Let me know what you think when you meet her.

I do wish they had longer skirts though!

virtue right... maybe after legion night we can hop on virtue and get everyone signed up

We're on Infinity now if anyone has been waiting
to find that out. 8-)

I have The Inhuman Vision on Virtue for my Avengers character. He is an Illusion Control/Kinetics Controller. Never tried that combo before but it seemed to fit the Viz.

I'm not sure that we are going to make it to Infinity tonight. Parental issues again.

Sorry guys. Got in with a 44th lvl character who just wanted people to bulk up his team so he has more baddies to kill. He's giving a 5k signing bonus and 10k for each bubble he gets. If you have a low lvl character on Virtue he said I could recruit some more team members. He needs another 3.

Oh, I'm still Inhuman Vision if you want to come on over.

on our way LL

Cool, still room for 3 more.

Whoa ...

I'm probably going to be wasted tomorrow,
but right now I don't care.

Got Blue to 30 tonight with Grem's help.
(Man I so want a Phantasm for my illusion
guy now!) We did aura mish and I picked up
flamethrower for a new attack power.

In case you guys miss the article that Reboot pointed to in another thread:

Interesting thread. Honestly, I think that
COH probably screwed themselves over based
on one point: the claws power set.

There have always been big super strong guys
in comics. Solomon Grundy preceded the Hulk
by decades, and both he and the Hulk owe a
large debt to the Frankenstein Monster. There
have also been green characters. Marvel did
nothing original in terms of the origins of
their characters either.

But the claws scrapper set in COH is nothing
but an opportunity to create a Wolverine
clone. I know that i've seen claws used in
ninja movies, but just the way they "snikt"
out in COH is a sure sign that Cryptic was
going after the Wolverine crowd.

As to what that means to us, I expect that
Cryptic is probably going to be taking a
much closer look at the heroes in the game
to avoid such problems in the future.

I hope that most of our characters are able
to fly under the radar, but I wouldn't be
surprised if we wound up having to rename
our SGs at some point...

Marvel chars are probably the biggest targets. DC doesn't seem to be as aggressive about it. Perhaps, unlike Marvel, they are intelligent enough to recognize that these are FANS of their chars that will likely get PO'ed if they have to delete them.

I'm wondering if Marvel has finally decided that their endeavor will go nowhere and want NCSoft to pay for Marvel's investment with the other company. We all know that CoH isn't just something that came out of nowhere. They've been working on this game for at least five years, if not longer.

Marvel just cannot let anything slip past them that may mean more money to them. I'd rather see some sort of arrangement where they release game additions that can be purchased to allow you to play Marvel or DC characters. That way the comic companies get a piece of the action without the hassle of development.

They could even do special story arcs that recreate famous comic story lines, like Great Darkness or Days of Future Past, where you have to have purchased an add-on in order to participate.

I wish that were true, Vee, but I'm guessing
that DC is simply waiting to see how Marvel's
suit turns out. If Marvel wins or gets a large
settlement, expect DC to follow suit ... no
pun intended. DC might even join forces with
Marvel in the lawsuit so they don't have to do
it twice.

To be fair, I can see why Marvel would do this.
Copyright and trademark are tricky beasts, and
if you don't adequately protect them you can
lose them. It's happened in the past.
