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

I found for Captain Hottie (level 15) going after levle 7-10 hellions if I just hit the boss with a single-target attack the rest of the mob would continue to ignore me. It took a little longer but I avoided using any AoE attacks until he boss was far enough away.

I gotta find time to get Captain Hottie on a TF. It'd be his first time teaming, tho and TFing with a group I can't say "I'm tired let's do this tomorrow." is uncomfortable new territory.

You're far bolder than I...

Since CoH isn't PvP, there's really not much they can do to you beyond what they're already doing (i.e. stealing your kills) I guess if I was in an area full of higher level mobs they could agro a bunch of them and lead them to me, but I wasn't. Mostly 15-17 which Condo can handle on his own and I've also gotten very good at flying away when appropriate.

I'd like to try that XP farming with
the Virtue Legion. Anyone else up for
that?

I am! I want Shadow Lad's cape!

What's the big deal with badges? Is it just a collecting thing, or do you get something for them? I thought I remembered seeing something about trading them in for XP or influence at one point before the update.

I'm in as well! Tonight?

Seymour, completing some of the series of badges get you additional hit points, etc. Others give you additional powers, like a Crey Pistol (taser-like) which is a permamnet addition to your arsenal.

BTW, I did some more XP farming this afternoon for about an hour and Condo is now up to his first bubble + at lvl 19! It's very fast and very simple to do.

I can't play tonight, so I'll have to join you another time, Tuesday or Wednesday.

And now it looks like I'll be going badge hunting too. Oy!

Tonight or Wednesday would be fine. Prism
and I are supposed to work on getting his
kinetics defender up to level 6 so he can
see what siphon speed is like, but I don't
know what time is good for him yet for that.

How high do you have to be for that TF?

I think that we should try to do this
fairly soon because I saw people talking
about it in broadcast the other day, so
you know if it's becoming public knowledge
like that it's only a matter of time before
the developers find a way to nerf it ...

Oh, and Seymour, I can't see any costme
for Andrew needing a cape, but I'm willing
to help Grev get his cape just for the
experience of trying the mish out ... I
DO want to get him a secondary costume,
though. 8-)

I believe Synapse is 16-21

I've heard that the cape mission can be tough, so Grev appreciates the help.

That would really suck if they nerfed it, though. All the things they put us through ... grr. I had Grev on a team this weekend, and we were doing fairly well until we did the Tsoo relic mission. I dind't recognize it, or I would have bowed out. That thing's nigh impossible, between the 50 million caltrops they throw out and the seven mind-control guys lined up at one point (stunned, hit, hit, hit -- two steps -- stunned, hit, hit, hit -- one step -- stunned, hit, hit, hit -- dead.) I had him halfway up to 17, and now he's got debt out the wazzo again.

What server will everyone be on tonight?

So. Jade is doing an early 5th Column mish and boy is it cool looking. It's got these flags and lots of red decor plus these control panels that look like something KOBRA would have. They did a good job on this one.

I ran that one with XS the other day. At first
I couldn't figure out how to open the dang
doors!

But it is pretty spiffy there.

The Hellion raid on a rave now takes place in
the same set they use for the dance club. It's
neat.

Vee, Prism, what time are Marvel Lad Lar,
Mystery Man, and Colorific going to tackle
the second headquarters at? Same time as
last night?

I've read about facing Bedrock, and we really
should try to carry a few disclipines with us ...
and awakens!

Anyone else up for playing on Protector tonight?

I should be able to get on by 7ish PST. Leaving work now so, with luck I should be home soon...

Hey, Prism, we're finishign up a mish on Virtue
right now, and we'll be over after that... with luck we shiould be there by the time you get on... if not, wait for us.

This thread seems as good a place to ask this non-COH, but computer-game-related question:

Has anyone tried the new SIMS 2?

Heh, I've looked but considering that it was a relief that The Political Machine didn't get along with my video card...

I'm too addicted to CoH. From what I'm hearing I'll probably become equally addicted to Sims2 when I eventually get it.

Anyway, Prism's got the end of a Vaz story arc... any chance I can recruit some help on it? It involves bombs set to poison the city's water system and I've been told they need to all be deactivated at once, which I'm guessing means I need a team of three with everyone positioned by a bomb clicking on their glowy at approximately the same time.

Hey, neat. At least your Vahz arc doesn't involve
being hit with that damn Vahz plague ... that
sucked like you wouldn't believe ... in fact,
one of Blue's souvenirs is the hyop that was
used to cure him of the plague ...

I'm willing to help Prism, but I don't know if
we can do it tonight. Depends on if we can XP
farm the TF before the inevitable nerfing--
and yeah, I'm a pessimist!-- but I'll help
when we get a chance to do it.

Hey, Vee? What level is Mysa now? If she's
lower than Condo, you might want to run her
during the XP farming ... get her leveled up
some too. 8-)

I really want to get XS leveled up some as
well ...

So where are we playing tonight? Infinity or Virtue? If on Infinity I'd like to play a different character than Lightning Ranzz. Either Cadet Bannin, a level 8 Ice Blaster or Snake Plissken?, a level 11 Natural Blaster (Assualt Rifle/Devices). I've come to realize that once a Lightning Blaster starts to pick up debt he's almost impossible to get out, even with a team. Their damage ratio and accuracy just sucks compared to other blasters.

I'm putting it on my Christmas list. I haven't read much about it, but if it's anything like the first one, it'll seriously cut into my CoH time, so I'm putting it off a bit.

Shadow Lad just picked up this mission last night, so he'll be happy to help. I wonder if it'll count toward both of us, like the farming missions usually do.

As to when, I would like to do some TF XP farming. as I agree that it will probably be nerfed, though how they can do it without being mean to people who actually want to finish the TF will probably be a challenge.

Scott, either way, I think we'll be on Virtue tonight since both these scenarios involve those characters.

I'd be happy to help on that as well, Lyle

Mysa's currently almost a 17. It was my intention all along to use her in the XP farming since she REALLY wants her cape!
