Any regrets or unfinished business?

Triumph wasn't able to get "The Hard Way" badge

Oh, but we did get that badge on Triumph.  I was there on my character Long Shock, an electric blaster.  It was run by Snow Globe I believe.

"The Hard Way" was earned by me on 9/2/2012
"The Really Hard Way" was earned on 10/28/2012

I helped out as much as I could in the following weeks, but I don't think we ever could get "The Really Hard Way" again.

My biggest regret is my last new toon - Knockerbacker. An Energy/ForceField defender rabbit I'd laid out in mids.
He was the first toon I'd ever rolled for the sheer fun of it.
Designed without any damage agenda, he was all about knockback uberpayload.
I would KB a baddie in the streets of SC, then stand over his ragdolling body. As soon as his ragdoll mode ended and he'd start to stand up, my Repulsion Field would KB him straight down into the ground and slingshot him clear into the upper-atmosphere. To add to the hilarity of it, I'd nail him with Power Burst launching him so high he'd become untargetable.

I would laugh sooo hard I would run out of breath. Then I'd do it again! and again! and again! Until I was in tears laughing hysterically.

I was soloing him in the early morning hours on Sept 1 when the chat channels lit up with news of the sunset. I leveled him a few more times after that, but with the dark cloud of the sunset looming, I couldn't laugh as hard at his antics anymore. The purity of his appeal felt... stained, now.

In time, I believe he would have trumped my main as my absolute favorite toon to play. I regret not seeing his full level 50 KB potential in an ITF, or against lanterns or flying incorporeal swords. I miss him most, for what he never had the chance to become.

I rolled the same combination also as a less than serious toon. A friend had a toon called something like "T3h pwnz3rn4t0r", so mine was called "T3h 5uxx3rn4t0r" or similar.

My only regret is that I wish I had played more often.  I sort of took for granted that CoH would be around for a long time.  I had plenty of opportunities long before the shutdown and I just didn't take advantage of them.  :'(

[Menrva Channel]

I have a lot of "unfinished" business so to speak. The last three months were hard, and I wasn't in a place to get a lot of play time. I had someone three or four levels from 50 I wish I pushed and completed. I wish I completed Rocket Man on my main Rogue. I wish I had taken more demos and screenies. And most of all, I wish I'd have been able to keep playing. :/

[johnrobey]

Missing the CoH Community (especially old SG mates).  Oh wait! You're here! :)

[Brightfires]

I never got to finish Aken, my "human only" Peacebringer... and I never got to Incarnate Anigan, my SJ Brute. I would really have loved to see what he could do with all the Incarnate toys.

I made my peace with the "end state" of most of the others, but those two I'll always feel like I have unfinished business with.  :(

[Sarge Morris]

A lot.

[therain93]

No regrets, but lots of unfinished business.  I only leveled up 1 villain to 50, focusing on the Destined One and Scirocco patron arcs -- I would have liked to have done the others.  I didn't get much time in Night Ward.  And, of course, lots of combinations I never really got to play up fully.  I also never really got into the market until the very end when purples started getting dumped, at which point I was able to commit to fully IO'ing out one character, my SoA, which was pretty awesome.  I want City of Heroes back  #SaveCoH.

[Pearl Dragon]

I wish would have looked into demorecording much sooner than I did.

[Cobra Man]

Regrets? ... I've had a few....

Not taking my PB all the way to 50.

Not getting any Stalkers to 50....

Not doing any Shard TF's

Not making that all out Mega Tank that just won't be defeated.....


Perhaps in City of Titans I'll get the chance to address these in some form or another.

[Red Scout]

Not playing more. Unfortunately my old computer was falling apart and I couldn't play the newer Issues. One thing or another prevented me from getting on as well as a computer that was falling apart so I didn't get to experience Praetoria and the massive new Task Forces.

[corvus1970]

Regrets? None really. I took breaks from CoH now and again when I needed to focus on other things, but always came back and enjoyed the time I was there. Plus, I made sure to play a LOT for about 2 months before the shutdown.

Unfinished business? LOADS. There's tons of stuff I never got to finish, so yeah. lots of unfinished business.

[Lycantropus]

I mentioned this in another thread, but the only genuine regret is that I didn't have the time to be as much a part of 'the community' as I would have liked. The 'culture' that was collectively built in the City of Heroes community IS rich and meaningful, and the fact so many of us are still here one year later is testament to that. for all the debates that happened on those forums, they were far more civil and respectful than in most MMO forums (which in my opinion are for the most part toxic cesspools- and makes me only miss what we had there that much more). Much of it is still here, but I'm sure we can all agree, something special was lost, and I hope we carry that maturity and civility into its spiritual successors.

I visited the forums occasionally (edit: often lurked, but posted only occasionally), but most of my 'playtime' was with my little SG, with little time to dedicate elsewhere. My online time is (like most folks) limited. I don't specifically regret that I didn't have as much time to play the game as I would have liked- I doubt I would have ever run out of personal goals or character concepts to strive for, so there was never a 'good time' for its closure in my book. With that said, I wish I had more time that I could have put toward getting to know the community I was a part of in it a little better. With some of the drama that came off my server sometimes (Champion) I may have been better off staying in the rafters watching everyone and knowing them without being 'in it' but looking back, I (and without the desire to be arrogant- Champion) may be poorer for my not having the time and inclination to be more a part of it either. The regret here, I guess, is that I'll never really know.

Still, this community at large still stands and as much as I lurk, I'm proud to be a part of it. Thank you for letting me 'in it' for every moment it stands :)

Everyone still here, holding the torch, is a hero of mine...

I never did finish the GR Praetoria content.  Dabbled in it, but never made it past the first few levels....it just didn't grab me for some reason. 

My main regret, however, was hounding NC customer support for a refund of my annual fee, paid mere days before the sunset announcement, since the initial sunset announcement didn't indicate anything about refunds.  Well, NC customer support honored my request after a couple weeks of correspondence, and refunded my annual fee in full...............which then revoked my VIP status.  All my characters locked (dozens) with only a handful of unlock keys.  Of course, a couple days after that, NC puts out a refund policy (which they should have bloody well done with the initial sunset announcement), which would have allowed me to retain my VIP status.  Well, that mainly ended my time in CoX.  I rarely logged in during those last three months which was a real shame. 

I miss my characters.  I miss my main, Cinnamon Red, a badged-out, purpled-out badass Peacebringer on Champion server.  I miss so much...

[JKPhage]

I never finished my perfect build on my Plant/Storm/Earth controller. He was one of my top five toons to play and could destroy and entire mob before I even finished my basic attack chain, and he would have been god-like even pre-incarnate if I'd gotten ahold of all the purples and various pieces I needed.

Same regret applies to Magical Master, my Ill/Emp troller. I rolled him up in a pact with a friend on a Claws/Regen scrapper and between just the two of us we could decimate max difficulty missions, and I was well on my way to perma-phantoms.

I regret never being able to do a Doc Q TF despite wanting to. Never could get a team together.

Never got a Praetorian to level 20, and never did run anything Resistance. I ran Loyalist both paths partway but never all of the content, and I did a Resistance spy character but never did run any actual resistance content.

Never got a Mastermind to 50.

Never did much of any Villain content.

There are many many bits of unfinished business, but I fully intend to finish them whenever S.C.O.R.E. steps from the shadows. I'll be spending lots of time enjoying the city again.

[Dollhouse]

Never got my sole Mastermind out of the late 30s. This was the second redsider I ever made (and I pre-ordered CoV...), and a much loved character from a roleplaying standpoint. But I never could warm up to playing MMs...  Didn't quite finish building out my Dark Controller to T4/sea-of-purple status. A few other minor goals, but nothing else left on the table that I really considered important.

I managed a few other major goals before the end (MSTF on a Stalker, perma-PA on my Ill/Kin (if the Inf spent on that build were dollars, I'd be Carlos Slim), Disruptor badge on my "force multiplier" PvP main, etc...).

No regrets, ever, though...and I miss it all so much.

[WildFire15]

I had a list of characters with story already in mind I didn't get to make.

Along with a Dual Pistols/Martial Assault blaster called Lockstock (though did make him as a DP/NRG blaster), I had remakes of my existing villains Solarisar and Feybris Lamia as a Dark Melee/Bio Armour Brute and Psi-Melee/Willpower Scrapper respectively.

The mention of the planned Sniper Rifle and Savage Melee sets also put me in mind of a new SR/Martial blaster and the chance to transfer my she-werewolf from Champs to CoH.

Ah well, can still write them and make use of them elsewhere.
