Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine City of Villains...Your Chance To Be Part of the LSV

I played in it. I was Hellfire Hottie. Maybe I will play the same character and give it a try tonight in the final battle. But it is so frustrating and disheartening to know they don't even give the villains a chance. They make the villains lvl 25 if you logged on Saturday and went back to that toon. If you created one last night you were a lvl 15 mostly, and all of the hero types were lvl 30. The only chance a villain has to deal any damage is to group in maxed out units of eight on a team and to stick together. But who can do that when it's so hard to find your friends, and there is so much chaos around you? I did manage to isolate a couple of heroes who seemed just as confused as I was, and I managed to win!! And this was funny... On Saturday I didn't know that you could get out of the hospital and go fight some more. I thought once you got killed, you stayed dead. Silly me! So last night I got killed off and came back to the fight about 20 times before I quit playing. The frantic pace gave me a headache.

I played on the Hero side, last night rebuilding Stratum (as Stratos) and we were completely ineffective due to the sheer amounts of villains. Most of us never got out of the Hospital.

I'm pretty sure I had seen your toon, S.G.

Thank goodness for Hover, it kept the damn stalkers off my back for a good long while.

I'd like to get us all together on a team tonight since this is the big/final beta event. Hopefully you all want to play villains. Post here if you plan on taking part so we know who each of us will be playing and we can team up.

If they use either Training Room 1 or 2 like they did the last 2 nights, we already have villains on there. I have Kingmaker on both of them. He's my Mercenary/Poison Mastermind.

If they use the main Training Room, I'll likely use either Lord Mordrew (Zombie/Dark Mastermind) or maybe Beauty Blaze (my Fire Fire Dominator who really kicks but with Domination ).

Either way, I'll post my character's name here when I get on. If everyone else does the same, we can have some fun beating up on States together.

Maybe we should split into a heroes group and a villains group?

Jamie

Sorry guys but you can count me out. Not just because of the two strikes the events already have but I'm working a major software upgrade for our corporate intranet and have a lot of prelim work to do this week. It might be a bit quiter next week but CoV will be live by then.

Gonna be a villain... on main server I'd be Vampire Claudia (lvl 13) or server #2 Hellfire Hottie (lvl 25 or whatever) All kinds of rumors flying about them not leveling us up tonight, which totally sucks because the heroes ARE leveled up. But whatever, they just turned off the COV servers. Man, and I hadn't written down my SG info yet which I wanted to use the same wording for the real game Oh well, maybe it will come back up? Scared for the big battle. I will try it. MIght be too much for me, as I get really emotionally invested in the stupidest things...lol...

I'll try to get on as a villain. If we're in the main server, look for Rotwang. If we're anywhere else, I'll have to create someone new. I'll check this board for coordination.

I'd either be Thomas the Vampire on trainer 2 or
probably Blue Boulder on main trainer.

Doggone it.

My broadband went down... i'm going to
miss it i bet...

Looks like they're using the main server, but cloning it over to two extra servers. Should we make an advance decision about which to use?

And I think they're copying ALL the heroes you have on either main, 1 or 2 over to all servers so you can pick any one you have on CoV to play tonight.

If that's the case, lets plan on Training room 2 since it's likely to be the least congested with others.

Keep checking here to coordinate though.

See you in a bit!

Yes, all you're CoV chars will be available as you can see from the post by Alexa below.

About tonight's End of Beta event...

Hi folks --

A few things about tonight's End of Beta event, Statesman's Strike:

1. There will be 3 servers available, and we have copied the character database from the regular beta server over to the other two. What this means is that your characters will be available on all of the servers. You can log in and play anywhere. So, if the load on one server gets to be too much, you can switch to another.

2. Don't forget, the event begins tonight at 7pm Central (5 Pacific, 6 Mountain, 8 Eastern). Be there or be the target of Lord Recluse's wrath! (*shudders*)

3. The event will last for 3 hours. When it's over, you will have some time to socialize and bid farewell to your fellow testers. Then the servers will be brought down for the last time.

So post here who you will be once you get on so we can track each other down. Remember try TR2 (or whatever the botom server on the screen is) first

Servers are up!

Only the chars you had on the main server are available so nothing you created for the stress test or either of this weeks events are there. All at their real level, not leveled up from the events.

I'm on Training room 02 as Flora Fiend. According to the board, they copied our characters from the main server onto the other servers so we can play anywhere.

I'm heading over to Training Room 2 now as Rotwang.

Ahhhhh!

My laptop went dead. Trying to get it sorted out. Be on as soon as I do. I'll look for all of you

Broadband is back.

Blue Boulder is heading on. 8-)

I'm too much of a tighwad to joing but I love reading your discussions and seeing your characters, keep it up.

Well, tonight's event was...interesting. The Paragon heroes didn't really show until after 10pm and by then I was quite tired of the lag. When I died between frames during the big battle, I was done. I sure hope that they resolve the lag issue for the actual release. For now, I'm happy to stick to Paragon City.

I saw, and fought for a few minutes: Statesman, Sister Psyche, Positron and Synapse. They showed up about an hour in (7:00 here) when I logged in to take notes on my binds and macros (didn't want to have to remember how later on). The good guys kept disappearing though. Actually vanishing. I'm not sure if they were porting or if they just weren't suffering the lag of everyone else. I'm glad I didn't try for the full time but I did score at least one hit on each from myself as well as my zombies.

We saw Manticore, Sister Psyche, Ms Liberty, and
someone named Agent Archer. Sister's force field
wsa really annoying.

Well, I agreed to wait until after dinner to sign on since the posts said it was going to be a 3-hour event. I saw one spawn of Longbow agents and Agent Archer was hanging out with some players. Ah, well. I'm just bound to miss these things, I guess, with the way my schedule goes.

I'm jealous, Scott. I'd like to have gotten a hit on Statesman. Heck, we all would. Glad you were there to represent us, at least.

Maybe if the heroes had shown up sooner where we were or in other zones, but since they didn't come for the last 15 minutes or so, I found the whole thing -- in fact, the whole game -- incredibly underwhelming.

If there had been even a $5 extra monthly fee, I definitely wouldn't be getting it.

Maybe once I start doing the story arcs and such in earnest, it will pick up interest for me. But now it follows the CoH model so closely, and 3/4 of the people I had missions against were other villains, it just felt like playing CoH with darker colors.

Yeah, I saw when you bailed. I had a problem with crashes last night. Happened three times to me and one of the times I was dead before I ever fully logged back in.

Is that what kept pushing us back? I must have chased Liberty halfway around Mercy and then would lose her when she got near Psyche. Since I turned down all my video effects to help with the lag issue, I couldn't tell.

Still it was a lot of fun playing with you LMBers.
