My biggest regret...

[Rust]

I never did finish the Praetorian Storyline - either Loyalist or Resistance. Always regret that.

Huh.  More folks had a Goldside-only character than I'd've thought.  I just knew of the one on Pinnacle.

My biggest regret is never having participated in a DKTF.

The day Going Rogue launched I made a Praetorian version of Triplash named Traincrash. I wanted her entire leveling process to be gold-only, and I figured the post-20 zones would be added later so I'd just "pause" her for a while. Although she would've eventually come to Primal Earth anyway, since I had storylines developing in my head for most of my characters and I wanted Trip and Train to "meet" at some point. I was exploring the nature vs nurture theme with them. (Triplash was a DM Regen Scrapper, and Traincrash started out as a DM Regen Stalker... but then they let Brutes have Regen and I immediately rerolled her. Brute was always what Train was meant to be, ever since I first heard about Going Rogue.)

Anyway, I would've happily made her and several others gold-only (probably one for each story path), if Praetoria itself had ever gone all the way to 50. And after First Ward and Night Ward were added, I felt like it was going to one day, too. Sadface.

My biggest regret is never having participated in a DKTF.

There was a Donkey Kong Task Force?!? :o   Sweeeet!

Not having the privilege of playing with a lot of you guys!

That's not quite what DK stands for.  :P  IIRC, the rule for participating is that everyone had to, individually and regardless of archetype, soak at least one alpha strike.  If you were too timid to do that, then your participation was not wanted.  I forgot the exact reasoning behind it, but I believe it was to get people over their fear of taking damage or debt and to drive home the point that this was, first and foremost, just a game.

I could be wrong, though.  Would that the forums (and the game, of course) were still in existence (*sigh*).

[MaidMercury]

No regrets.
started with:
Windows 2000
15" CRT Monitor, Duel AMD proc. :roll:

I played everyday....except some days when I was visiting relatives.
And the time my computer stopped working, Northbridge chip set fried) and I had to purchase parts to make another. with new OS, graphics card, etc...

I tried CoV, but after a week, it didn't seem fun to me.
I was not the villain type... I was Blue side definitely.

I made so many characters that were awesome and could do some of the funnest things I could think of but the one concept I heard about but never got to. I wanted to make a stone brute that could run like 23mph with granite on plus soft cap defence all around. I had the build and everything and the IOs needed were not even all thate rare so it was never a resource thing. Just thought I had more time.

I regret it, he would have been awesome with his battle axe booking around. I heard about the concept and even seen one guy in atlas park with a real fast brute it was were I got the idea. If/when the game comes back on I think it'll be the first character I make. Some people didn't like the granite look but I thought it was cool as hell to look like a rock monster. First time I got master of statesman TF way before incarnates were even a thought in the devs mind our tank was a stone tank her name was Amber and she was the coolest chick in the coolest Super group I knew. I miss that Super group I was with them to the end and met the leader shortly after playing exiting Warburg. They were a great group.

maybe, but the way back into honor is when someone admits when they are wrong :)
if I had it all over to do, I would have stuck with city of.

Don't mind GG. She aggressively unicorns anyone who doesn't preemptively adhere to whatever she's got in her head as being the shining path this quarter. She's just got a very strong sense of right and wrong: she's right and anyone who disagrees with her is wrong.

No regrets. Had fun, but I'm not one to dwell on the should, could or would in my life.

[r00tb0ySlim]

Badges!!!  I need my stinking badges!!!  I regret not finishing those last couple hundred on my main...I was busy doing incarnate stuff it seems ;D

[grouchybeast]

I had a Praetorian Carnival character, a Mind/Psi Dom, and I think I got her up to...maybe mid-30s?  It took a long time, and involved a lot of exemping, and bringing in characters on a second account when Praetoria was empty.  Ultimately I was planning to take her through all the Incarnate Trial content, and finally go back to defeat Tyrant, and I do regret not completing that project.  And I had so many low level characters created using new powersets. :-(

Er, do many people troll with references to humorous roleplaying games? I suspect not.

Nothing relating to in-game content, really. I did pretty much everything it was possible for someone to do, plus a few things that technically should have been impossible (like exploiting bugs on the test server to explore places like Port Oakes' semi-defined Cap Au Diable terrain, etc).

My regrets are:

1) Collecting almost every NPC costume code in the game, several of which were purchased for three-figure sums of real cash, although a couple were won via forum competitions :) Of course, I'm kidding myself. My real regret is that I never quite finished the full collection :)

2) Not killing Twixt as much as I could have. If I had been around for the final 2-3 days of the game, I would have tracked him down for an ultimate showdown while the game dissolved around us. Still the only person in the real world who I would immediately punch in the face if I met him in person.

3) Unloading on Beefcake via email when he cleared the archive of badge hunter records. I was upset because those records included a friend who I used to team with for years, who had died irl, hence the overreaction. Sorry Beef.

4) Following from 3, overreacting in general. I mellowed a lot after the first two years when I had lots of very bad rl issues going on (2006+07) but by then the "damage" was already done and I spent the rest of the game's history with an "interesting" (though flatteringly visible) reputation for being quite extreme and, frankly, insane. Which I played to a lot, parodying my former self, which sometimes didn't help things although in hindsight I tend to think of it as spending six years roleplaying my main without ever breaking character :)

5) Not finding out the contact details of many close friends in the game before it shut down. Most had moved on anyhow, but still, some of them were in the 16-19 age bracket just beginning to make career plans and I would have liked to have known if those plans panned out and how they are doing now.

Quite, but she isn't many people, just one with a fairly consistent pattern of behavior over several years. Classic examples of her standard MO exist just in the past month alone, but i am not going to link or directly mention them since those threads and posts were variously locked or deleted because they were, well, classic GG misrepresentations and distortions being stated as facts. She likes to use smiley faces and 'clever' quips even when outright lying. Although i suppose it isn't technically a lie if you believe it yourself, so maybe lying isn't precisely accurate in some cases.

While i admire her dedication and loyalty to the game i do not respect her behavior and dishonesty.

My biggest regret is letting a huge gap exist in my CoH history between issue 9 and Issue 23.  At the time, I had to quit because of my financial situation.  Yet despite how frickin' good the game was, and how much I loved it even back then, I never bothered to resubscribe and start playing again when my financial situation improved.

Then I came back just weeks before the shutdown notice hit.  I had thought CoH would be around forever.  How could they kill such an awesome game?

That question still echoes, and I recieve no reply.

Aside from that, not trying out Dark Control on the Beta Server while I had the chance, and not giving my little baby Defender more love.

After hanging out here the last few months, I regret not being more active back on the official forums. It's fun sharing laughs and whatnot with you guys.

Like, I would've loved to use this pic sometime when it had actually happened:

... So, the word "troll" is no longer changed to "unicorn"?  When did that happen?

On-topic,

My biggest regret is not making close in-game friends until a couple months before the closure.  I MISSED OUT ON SO MUCH FUN!!!  :(

[Rust]

Another regret of mine: Not being more social with you crazy people when the game was still around.  ;D
