Hot off the presses, we've got the interview you all wanted to see. Allegations regarding The Legion of Sin have been swirling lately and we were able to secure an interview with the group's leader just this morning. Last night, evidence of group members using exploits was revealed and since then a group member,Viper has been expelled and he alleges the Legion of Sin's exploit-using tactics were DEVELOPED and SUPPORTED by the group's leader! read what Apocalypto had to say below:
1. Apocalypto? that sounds ominous...explain its meaning.
I wanted to make a statement and unique name defining my vision… which is the end of all humanity.
2. How long has the Legion of Sin been active?
Since the beginning of the beta.
3. Give us some history on the LOS.
We started off small only my general Cruxis and me. With dreams of becoming larger than life. We started posting on website forums, struggling to get our names out there. Slowly but surely villains began to unite. Cruxis and I then realized that villains were not going to team up with two low level characters. So we devoted our time to reach the level cap and start the apocalypse. A very scare face story, but it will not end the same…..THE WORLD IS MINE.
4. Let's get to the questions on everyone's minds. many have accused your group of being one of the worst perpetrators of the fire damage exploit that ran rampant last week (and still may be an issue) I personally saw members of your group taking advantage of the exploit but that's not to say they were alone, explain this.
I can’t supervise three hundred plus members all at once. Hackers, Cheaters, Glitchers that I personally see exploiting will be taking care of. I’m not responsible for the glitches.
6. Many noticed your group intially for its "noob hunting" of lower-level characters, any response to this? Do you think this led to much of the LOS hatred?
This probably added to the hatred. We travel in groups and bring the battle to them. Those low level characters are just caught in the cross fire. Only proving that NO HERO IS SAFE.
7. Our blog ran a story today with video of Viper (one of your members) cheating using the Amazonian Deflection exploit, its pretty damning evidence, any comment?
He is no longer in the legion.
8. How many members are in your league?
Currently we have three hundred and forty strong and only getting bigger.
9. As the LOS Leader do you feel its important to monitor the activities of members?
It is important to know who is desecrating my creation. It was not easy to build and I’m not going to let anyone destroy it. But like I said before I cannot monitor all three hundred and forty all at once.
10. You certainly can't control what other players do, but what will happen to Viper as a result of his actions?
He has been removed.
11. Viper was also blatantly arrogant about his actions don't you think? http://tinyurl.com/3xhtlbe
Like I said he is no longer my legion. NO ONE IS DESTROYING MY CREATION. Despite us being villains we do have dignity.
12. Does the LOS have a website?
Yes, www.legionofsin.webs.com anyone who wishes to see the end of heroes, this is where you sign up.
13. What's your stance on the abuse of in-game exploits?
Unacceptable. I’m a very prideful person and I like to do things the right way.
14. Does embracing the darker side of villainy have its limits when it comes to using exploits?
We want people to know us, and fear us…. But also respect us and know that we play fair.
15. Many believe that being part of a gaming community means contributing to it, and having some standards in particular to cheating, what's your opinion?
Those that I see cheating or proof of them cheating like the video that posted and is in my legion is immediatly removed. People will fear us, but people will respect us.
16. We hate that our first interview has such a negative slant, but after recent allegations you can certainly understand. We'll promise you another interview where we'll allow you to focus on other aspects of your league. and on that note, what would you like the DCUO Community to know about the LOS?
We want to let the DCUO Community that we are here to stay, and we are taking over. NO HERO IS SAFE, high or low level.
16. In a thread on the DCUO Source, Viper mentioned that you invited "anyone" to your league, http://tinyurl.com/25g3n77 care to comment?
What does he know of our recruiting methods? Cruxis and I are recruited those willing to join. The lower level characters where helped with unfinished bounties and missions. After we recruited we asked if anyone needed help with bounties or missions.17. What's your opinion of Viper's rant on The Source? you can read it here: http://tinyurl.com/3xhtlbe
Very childish he needs to grow up. He may think that his selfish acts are helping him but only making him sound stupid. He will make many actuations to make himself look good and like Edgeburn said "Awww look who got caught and can’t even defend themselves. No one is saying it’s just villains. You just happened to be caught on tape. You’re a cheater. Enjoy your lack of skill." Viper had no skill and is disgraceful. He has disrespected us and SOE which I’m in debt to because I have been waited forever for this game. If only DCUO could put bounties on traitors and liars like Viper, guarantee that I personally would give my money to the heroes to end his drama.
18. There appears to be evidence of Colonel and Violet vandal using exploits as well, is anything going to be done about this?
Once I come across the evidence and see it myself then I will take care of it, I'm not going by he said she said. This isn't high school. Plus I'm not complaining about the heroes that we've come across with the same glitch. One bad apple ISN'T going to ruin the rest. I leave it to the developerrs of DCUO to fix it.19. Viper has accused you of teaching people how to form "glitch parties" care to respond?
Ha ha ha ha ha, Viper is so pathetic. If I knew how to do the glitch then EVERYONE IN THE LEGION WOULD KNOW HOW TO DO IT. Plus there is evidence of only a few handful, not three hundred.
"We encountered more Legion of Sin, Burn-induced maniacs earlier today, they're tough as hell and we took our lumps but the lot of them should be halfway to STAR labs detox by now. We've got find their supplier and get this poison off our streets for good."

You are such an ignorant, lying little noob. I along with other players have witnessed you leading an entire raid group where every one of you were glitching. If you're going to have over three hundred members and plan to stick to your so called morals, then you need to have the ability to manage that many members. You obviously lack that ability. A fellow hero defeated you very quickly earlier while you were glitching. It's pathetic that you and your legion have to stoop so low.
ReplyDeleteMETA JUSTICE IS WEAK
ReplyDeleteHey, as far I can tell, the glitch occurs when someone is encase in ice and burned by fire.......It didn't seem like something that you could just do on your own. And that night when Violet Vandal terrorized gothom, Violet wasn't even a member of the LegionofSin yet. Too bad for Viper tho, he waited too late to try and get revenge......
ReplyDeletelol yea, get over it, you guys just cant take The Legion of Sin, thats one bad to the bone guild. stop crying about it
ReplyDeleteThey only win through sheer numbers and glitching. That's nothing to be proud of. And Meta Justice may be weak, but at least we play fair. That's the reason I'm happy with my league. I'm sorry you have such low self-esteem to have to stoop to that level. You can say all you want against us. Go ahead keep the insults coming. This isn't High School anymore.
ReplyDelete*Smile*
ReplyDeleteDie with some dignity, rather than demonize a group that you can not hold a candle to.
Tonight, you... and your Mentors shall fall.
In a PVP environment there will always be cheaters/glitchers/exploiters etc etc. There will also always be those who feel as though others are cheating even though they aren't.
ReplyDeleteIn all cases there is one surefire way to stop all of this. STAY AWAY FROM PVP. If you ARE a PVPer and just can't stay away, then tighten that utility belt because it's going to be a wild ride.
Okay. That's it. I've kept my mouth shut about the entire fiasco long enough. Punishing guilty players for cheating and exploitation of the game is one thing but demonizing a group of players only because of those few said players shows nothing but blind hatred and discrimination!!
ReplyDeleteDid you people forget that the game is in a BETA STAGE?!
Even what the guilty players did was wrong but this entire incident should have been taken as a good thing for the game rather than a hacker hunt! This means that the glitch can be removed before the game launches!
You players have gotten so head-deep into this game and it's black-and-white mentality that you've lost all reasoning and empathy for others who, in the end, are just players with the same love for the game you have!
Whatever roles you place yourself in the game does not make the majority of who you are as a person. Such as a villain can be capable of empathy and kindness like Harley Quinn and Catwoman, a hero can be capable of being biased and self-righteous like the infamous Batman. My point is that everybody has their good side and bad side regardless of who you are and what you stand for!
And another thing!
These players who are whining and crying hacker and cheater every time they get butts kicked seriously need to grow up or stop playing the game entirely! To these players, I say "You are not God! If you are not willingly to learn from your mistakes and keep whining about the challenges, it's the same as saying I don't want to know the real world."
I'm tired of hearing about the drama, just let the resolved incident die in peace and move on.
Im sorry but the "I have too many members you can't expect me to control them" argument doesn't work. You chose to have that many members, you could care less if people exploit or not, you just don't want your guild to have a bad rep. Well too late, I have respect for some villains but for ya'll I have none. Put a member cap on your guild so you CAN control them, you just want to be thought of as the biggest and baddest guild,but without your members exploting you are just another villain league.
ReplyDeleteMeta Justice is a great and honorable guild, and a great ally. With our guilds on the job, NO VILLAINS ARE SAFE, as you would say.
Take control of your guild if you want some respect, lying about it won't make you look any better.
Like I have said in many forums.
ReplyDeleteAs raid leader of LOS, there has not been one instance of cheating during our raids. It is a rule in the League that if you are caught cheating you will be removed. We have had hero's cheat against us and have posted this at our website.
As for your unsolicited advice concerning the size of our guild, is just that, unsolicited.
not one? thats just not true. Colonel and Violet Vandal were both caught on camera! one of your own members showed that!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen that and will into it asap. Thank you for alerting me. Our League is only interested in fair non bugged pvp play. I can assure you that if cheaters are found, I will remove them LOS.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say the "As for your unsolicited advice concerning the size of our guild, is just that, unsolicited." comment was directed toward MetaJusticeLeader(do to pvp history) and not the writing staff. Great Job on the articles!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see that video of Colonel and Violet Vandal. In what raid did they cheat?! You'd better post it before making false accusations.
ReplyDeleteWhat a PC villain guild!! Bunch of super bureaucrats and suits! I say do whatever it takes to stomp these heroes into the ground. I'll START a fair fight, but don't think any villain worth it's salt won't blow up a bus full of nuns to win!!
ReplyDeleteThe following evil laugh is brought to you by the letter F and U, and the number 69.
/evil laugh
"Vanity and Pride will be the undoing of these Burn-addicted miscreants. They can't know how easy they made my job by submitting a picture with all of their members. The Coalition will hunt them all down, one by one if necessary."

Well, I hope you glitchers had fun glitching in the Beta. But, I'm sorry to say that in my experience with SOE, the consequences for cheating/glitching are swift and severe. Good luck not getting caught. And until then I will be better prepared to deal with you in-game. Ciao!
ReplyDeleteCalling a whole group "Burners" is ignorant and the type of thing that just gives you a weak smile of pity. So does the idea that there is an arguement to be had about anything LoS or any Legion/League does.
ReplyDelete"Im sorry but the "I have too many members you can't expect me to control them" argument doesn't work."
It does not work because there is no arguement. What was said is the way things are. I do not expect either side to accomodate thier playstyles for others desires.
OOC: As a SOE Customer in the past, I am comfident that kinks and glitches in the game and exploiters will be dealt with. I also hope that some cross faction colaberation can happen that is in the intrest of preserving fun and not egoes. It is almost there but not quite there. To the Villians and Heroes, thanks for the fun in beta and hope to see you soon.
Those people that used the glitch made a bad name for the rest of the LOS members. We shouldn't be disrespected or looked down upon because of something a couple cheaters were doing. As our leader has stated Viper was removed from the legion, and if other cheaters are found they too will be booted!! LOS members play fair,have respect for the game and our community. I can't wait until 1-11-11 Hope to see you all soon. AND to all those heroes...watch your back LOS is coming for YOU!!!
ReplyDeletewow you people are funny SOE made the mistake with the patch and some DCUO players randomly was given some glitched abilities on the Beta!!! whoopdy friggin do!! its just the beta!! you will see when the real game comes out who will own. The real game will have a monthly subscription and have gm support, Glitches cheats and exploits will be unacceptable and we will see who runs DCU. You little weak Heroes won't be able to have any excuses about being owned cause Gms will be monitoring servers and you will see how us villians do and you heroes will continue to get owned fair and square. whatever exploits or glitches happened on the beta just helped the real game become more secure and stable you idiots so stop crying. I actually appreciate the fact that a mistake was made by SOE and Villans and Heroes took advantage of it for the time being and now it will be fixed when the retail version releases. Better for it to happen during the beta then for it to happen while peoples hard earned cash is invested into the game
ReplyDeleteWhy give the biggest joke of a league any face time? Im in a villain league so dont say im saying this cause im a hero. Seriously though. LOS is the biggest joke on the villain side. Ask any of the Leagues there. Nobody takes LOS serious not to mention the leader aint even good enough to handle a huge league. They add anyone and dont care so you know they aint very fearsome. Only fearsome thing is the fact of their numbers.
