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

and gals ! Don't know what would have become of you without Mysa!

And it was loads of fun having Danny along. Glad you were able to make it DB!

Definitely! It was fun having Danny around.

And Mysa is easy on the eyes.

Danny's Porcupine Pete is great!

Sorry I had to bail on you this afternoon. My hubby wasn't expecting to have to work a 12-hour shift two days in a row during what was supposed to be a three-day weekend (he had his own task force planned for today), and he sounded so depressed when he called to let me know, I had to do something for him since we weren't doing our TF.

As for the task force, I'm sorry it didn't happen, but I'm excited for an all-Legion TF next weekend. Feel free to play your characters up to 12 this week. As long as we stay in the 11-12 range we'll be OK. I've heard the level of the bad guys you face is the same as the highest-trained level on the team, so more than just Condo being a 12 wouldn't be bad.

Once we're in, we'll have to be careful about training. You can train during the middle of a task force. Anyone who's a 12 who levels to 13 should wait until everyone else has reached 12. Even without training, though, you still get the higher hit points and better damage.

I never heard back from Mon 'El or Flame Sidhe, but maybe they can make it next week. I know I can't do Saturday night, and my brother is coming by sometime during the weekend, but I don't know when yet. Hopefully, we can do Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Hey, Vee, any chance you could get another computer and account this week so you can play Condo and Mysa? (Hmm, I wonder if the hubby would be willing to play Saturn Lady for us ...)

I'm really looking forward to the Task Force and I'm glad we decided to wait until more of us were up to level 11 instead of doing it with others. You never really know what the other players are like as we discovered yesterday after you took off Seymour.

Porcupine Pete (Super Lad Kid), Garth (Scott), Tasmia (Caroline), Andrew Nolan (Scott & Caroline's friend, Thomas) & Mysa decided to head into Perez later in the day and ended up teamed up with a rather "forward" lvl 8 tanker that kept hitting on Mysa.

Our newest Legionniare, Porcupine Pete was very gallant and kept trying to protect her from his advances (Mysa sends Pete a VERY big smile and hug) but it got to be so annoying that we finally broke for dinner and logged off in order to get rid of him. Before logging off, Mysa had the last laugh, however.

As we were heading back to the gate out of Perez, this moron really got annoying and went so far as to say that Mysa now belonged to him. Being a rather headstrong girl, Mysa didn't take kindly to that and told him that she didn't belong to anyone. She then thanked everyone for a fun time and told Mr. Moron something like "Next time maybe I'll bring my other character, Cosmic Rokk. He's a level 11 (she fibbed) tanker that can probably sidekick you if you'd like (sweet smile)."

It was fun to watch him realize that Mysa might be a little more than he perceived. Andrew laughed his head off all the way back to Atlas Park! This did cause us to agree that we would not bring anyone into a team up in the future unless one of us could vouch for him or her. Most of the other players are nice but you do run into some real jerks that take all the fun out of it.

On another note, we all popped over to Protector later and Varalent inducted Super Lad Kid, Scott's Sun Boy, Caroline's Silver Chalice (Mordru's granddaughter), and Thomas' Dox 5.1 into the Legion of Super Protectors. I made everyone a Founder so that there are plenty of people to induct other members into the group.

Finally, it was really great having our newest recruits (SLK's Porcupine Pete and DB's Danny Blaine) join us this weekend. Can't wait to get some others on as well.

It was a blast, Vee. Thanks for giving me the heads up about it. It's nice being able to team up with people that you already know about. I've found myself in some pretty lousy groups before, but was stuck in them in order to get a mission done.

I doubt I'll be able to get Porcupine Pete up to level 11 by this weekend. I left him at just a bar under lvl. 9 with a bit of debt to work off. But since I can only play on the weekends, I may have to sit out the task force mission. Thanks to all for helping level last night, though! If any of you decide to work on the Protector server, I'll gladly lend a hand there.

Hmmmmmmmm......but since they (Condo & Mysa) are both on the same account I don't think it would work anyway.

Very tempting though since we've seen how useful Mysa can be on these missions. I wouldn't want to give up Condo's firepower, however if you guys think Mysa would be more valuable to have along, I'll make sure she's leveled to 12 and use her instead.

PS: Saturn Lady would be awesome to have along if your hubby would join us on the task force. Teleport cound be very useful on the task force, along with her other skills.

Let's see... if you spend all day Sat working on getting Pete up to lvl 11 and we schedule the task force for Sunday....

Or maybe I can create a seperate account and create another Condo & get him up to 12 this week and let someone else (maybe SLK) play him during the task force mission...or....


Okay maybe I'm obsessing about this too much!

...or maybe not enough!

We (Thomas, Caroline and I) stuck around for a bit last night and managed to get 5.1, Lasa and Dirk each up to level 5.

Dirk is a blast. I've never played a fire controller before and his main fireball seems to have quite a range to it already. Can't wait to be able to make him a sniper with it. As with Garth, I'm going to try to keep him as true to his character as possible so no teleport for either one. I love that power though.

Garth still needs a little work to get to 11 but hopefully I can do so by this weekend. If we try for the TF that would be the best time for me. It'll be the last weekend to play before the con. The following week and weekend will be spent getting work ready to run without me and the household set up for Caroline's parents.

Scott be sure to post a pic of Sun Boy, Lasa & Dox 5.1 here. They all looked great!

PS: Speaking of pics...we still need to get a group pic done.

PPS: Are we still doing Legion night on Wednesday this week? I'm game and Scott could work on leveling Garth.

I think we can be available for Legion Wednesday. It'll give us a chance to try to get a new group pic. And I'll get a pic of us when we are on Protector again.

I should be able to hop on for at least enough time to do a group pic Wednesday. I can probably hijack my hubby's computer for a few minutes so we can get Saturn Lady and Shadow Lad in it. But with all Vee's characters, we'll need a little of your Photoshop magic.

And Vee, if you can level a new character to 12 in one week, we're going to have to have an intervention and send you to Gamers Anonymous.

Keep in mind that the only reason I'm spending so much time on the computer is that my good ol' doctor has ORDERED me to cut back on any unnecessary outside activities for the time being (my compromise with him in order to get permission to return to work ). Since I can't go out and get into trouble with my volunteer stuff, I really have no choice but to play CoH or I'd go stir crazy.

(Now that I think of it, maybe I have gone stir crazy and this is all a fantasy world I'm living in )

In any case, it would be challenging but given the amount of time I have on my hands, certainly doable. Remember SLK got Porcupine Pete up to a level 6-7 in one day from scratch! Bet I could do it easily given a week before the task force.

I was very tempted...but I created another member of my menagerie instead. I'll post a pic when I get a chance but we now have a scrapper named Kid Karate Val on Virtue (only one slot left there now ~ wonder who I can fill it with ). Love watching Val kick butt (literally) The martial arts path appears to be really cool.

Andrew & Tasmia got to meet him earlier tonight and they inducted him into the Legionnaires of Virtue so be sure to say hi if you see him.

BTW, Andrew, Tas and Mysa then went hunting and Mysa reached level 12. She now has recall friend (teleport) which should bw helpful to Garth. From now on, every time he dies in the midst of battle, Mysa will be able to teleport him to safety and rez him.

I think it only appropriate for the Legionnaire who has died the most to live up to that in CoH.

Honestly, being a blaster is great but it gets you the kind of fans you really don't want.

Now that's my kind of doctor.

I figured it was something like that. I'd probably be going a bit nuts if I had those same restrictions -- work and straight home, but don't DO anything. I'm glad you found something we can all share. Heck, I'm glad we all found this so we can hang out.

But I will admit, in the back of my mind, I was thinking about the MMORPG-addiction story I wrote a few months ago for my parenting magazine. I'm glad it's nothing like that, and I'm sorry if I offended.

As for the task force, shall we say 1 p.m. EST on Sunday?

No offense perceived or taken Seymour. Expressions of concern can never be offensive, IMHO.

1PM Sunday works for me. BTW, how much time do task force missions usually take? I haven't the faintest idea if it's a couple of hours or deep into the early morning hours on Monday (kidding )

Hope to see everyone on tonight. Just remember, if some unknown Legionnaire comes up to you (or sends you a tell) and says "Hi!", smile you're in Vee's company!

I've been told by more than one person that task forces have a set time of 6 hours to complete. I don't know if that is true or not, just what I've heard.

So what time tonight?

It's 8:30 EST, and I'm hopping on now.

And expect the task force to take about 4 to 5 hours since none of us will be familiar with it.

Current server status:

Freedom UP
Justice DOWN
Pinnacle UP
Virtue DOWN
Liberty UP
Guardian DOWN
Infinity UP
Protector DOWN
Victory UP
Champion DOWN
Triumph UP

The only working server I have a character on is Triumph. This is really starting to suck.

I blame Imra and Tas for breaking out that damn boombox and dancing in the middle of a mission.

Drat! And we were doing so well, too. At least we completed the mission. A few more like that, and we would have had Saturn Lady ready to go for the TF.

I hope it counts as completed. It wouldn't be the first mission I got screwed out of since all of these server problems began.
