In PvE legends, [guessing this will require the entire team effort to complete the instance]. Many players already lack counter skills. Since its "PvE" its going to attract quite a few of them. Just saying I would not dare pug this. Would be worse then trying to complete the EO feat.
First they would need to reveal the difficulty level. If they are like how Wonder Woman and Circe vision quests were at launch, I can see your point. However, if the difficulty matches the visions in there current state then it may be more doable. I still do not think it will fall apart if it is too challenging; there just may be a lot disbands happening.
I indeed believe it will be available for level 5's. The Panel of legends at SOE live had a picture of I think it Was Robin, Batman, Huntress and Someone else fthat i cannot make out in the video. Those are the default People, The problem is what if everyone has only Robin unlocked? In PvP, no problem everyone can just be robin, but in PvE they want only one of each legend in each instance. The plan right now is that if everyone has Only robin unlocked, then they have a choice between robin, huntress, batman and other guy. Whoever picks Robin first gets robin, the others can no longer pick him if someone else got him, but they can pick Batman, Huntress and other guy, its first come first serve. So what if you have someone awesome like Wonder Woman Unlocked? You can use her (UNLESS SOMEONE PICKED HER ALREADY), you can use any legend you have unlocked for PvP in PvE, also it is not restricted to heroes, you can go BANE INSANE if you want.
That is how it works. You can use any legends characters you have unlocked. However if you use it with characters such as LoA with Batman, Robin, Huntress and Nightwing you get a special feat.
I don't believe people would need roles for Legends pve. why? because you are playing with ICONICS. It's not about ROLES. It's about how skillful you can be with that iconic and showing your survivability. If there were a legends Char that can heal others like batman can give power, then maybe that be nice. but i'd like the fact if it wasn't ROLE specific. so, you won't have people crying over them not doing their role and actually fighting your foes to your best ability. Like wonder woman and Circe solo instances.
Legends Pve shouldn't be like Regular pve where it requires a Roles to get through it. It should be having your iconic and learning to get through it with the team you have.
All iconics are technically tanks and highly doubt they would change them. [I really hope they remove breakout of counters mechanic for this]
This idea has got me really interested in how they plan on doing this. Could you imagine doing Gates or Prime 8 man with Legends...Holy Fun Batman! I hope we get a mix of alerts and raids and I really think this will bring new life to the game...Legends only players are going to love this! IA ARMY
