Things you wished you did before COH closed.

[Drauger9]

I've been thinking about this a lot since the thread acouple of days ago. Where the OP asked about power animations for a video. They was working on. To which I told them about a video I had thought about but never got around to doing.

I think I'm going to have to invest in a 3-4 terabit external harddrive before the three projects we have going here. Are complete so that when their done, I can make that video. I keep thinking about how cool it'd be. LOL!

And expand my metal collection, cause I can see some of these newer songs I've been listen to. Playing in the back ground in some of the scenes. LOL!

Also I wished, I'd made more videos of my alts.

I've never gotten the hang of demo recordings so I truthfully can't tell you how hard it will or will not be to start one now that the game is offline, but there is that route.  Otherwise there's always making a comic book with Icon.

[Drauger9]

I did some demo recording on my old comp but the hard drive died a very painful death. So I lost all my recordings. I haven't had much luck with Icon since I don't have the I24 beta client and the one I tried to download didn't seem to work right.

[Ice Trix]

I wish I had started demo recording before news of the shutdown.

In game, I regret never getting to do a Cathedral of Pain, and a few of the task/strike forces. And not getting enough time with my water/storm defender.

[Drauger9]

Oh water/storm sounds nice.

Cathedral of Pain was pretty fun, I think I did it 3 times but only finished once.

I should add the elec/ice controller I can't stop thinking about that I never made.

[saipaman]

I wish I had made .costume files as well as Sentinel+ files for all my characters.

and finish a little over 200 badges on my main 

[Tubbius]

I just realized I had ONE screenshot of Waddle the Penguin's updated look in all my screenshots.  Icon let me fix that, so there's one down.

I do wish I'd gotten Tubbius Regalis and his level pacted ally Salartha (my girlfriend's character) to 50 instead of just 48, but at the time, I was busting my hump working at the end of a semester, and I really couldn't bring myself to PLAY that much, emotionally, on top of it. 

I did manage to make "PENGUIN Part 4: Waddle On" at about 8 p.m. US Eastern time on the night the servers went down, so that brought some closure to the story arc, even if only half a dozen folks got to play and rate it.

Get a VIP subscription active in time for NCSoft's surprise announcement.

Actually took the time to switch out my video card so I could play for most of the remaining time left.

Get a VIP subscription active in time for NCSoft's surprise announcement.

I was a bit torn on that one. I'd have liked to have brought a few more toons to the final party... but on the other hand, I'm quite glad they weren't holding any of my money at shutdown.

I agree, I wouldn't want NCSoft having any of my money. But the way I figure, if I had a VIP subscription open earlier that month, maybe the money would have gone to Paragon, at least in part.

[Kaos Arcanna]

I never managed to get a Spines or a Claws Melee toon to 50. I don't think I managed martial arts either now that I think of it.

[Reiraku]

I had a Grav/Time controller I really liked that I ended up getting distracted from before she hit 50. I wish I could change that.

[Spellcaster Hana]

I wish I did a lot of world screenshots because I adore the world of City of Heroes. I love visiting all parts of the City while doing missions and sometimes I just stop to look at the scenery I find interesting.

And I wish that I had more time to explore other archetypes and do some of the TF's and raids I didn't get to do. I also wanted to explore Praetoria and Rogue Isles more since I'm on the blue side most of the time...

[TonyV]

I wish that I had been even more shamelessly begging of physical swag from the devs and community reps than I was.

[Arachnion]

I wish I had gotten Hero Epic Archetypes unlocked.

I first got into the game with City of Villains, then gained City of Heroes when they had that "add Hero side to your current sub free" deal happen.

Sad, I know, I never got a hero to 50 (I started in 2006 so yeah), or even 20, when they changed it...

I *was* able however to play VEATs, so I'm thankful for that..

[Harlequin565]

The CoP was one of my "wish I'd done it" things. That and a Hami raid were the only two things I hadn't managed, although I was never that bothered about Hami.

I was also really enjoying my Storm/Energy defender and wanted to explore that combo past 30. I loved some of my 50's way beyond when they hit the cap. And it wasn't just about iTrials or "endgame", it was the fun of being 50. The tweaking, the costumes, exemping... One could still have fun with a character beyond the level cap.

I think my biggest wish would have been to invent a time machine, go back to 2004 & do it all again

There were so many task-forces I never did, even the oldest ones. (Partly because my old putersaurus would turn into a slideshow with a team of eight.) A few characters that I had for a very long time were never able to see 50. So many, many things....the thing is, even after eight years, I still found new things to do. Add that to all the new content always being added and I'd have played till my bones turned to dust.

[Taceus Jiwede]

The more I thought about this question the more I realized what made CoH great and what makes me actually not have any regrets aside from not being able to play it anymore.

CoH was one of the first and very few games I could play any where as much as I did.  I have played lots of MMO's and lots of video games over the years but nothing for 8 years and nothing where I actually cared about badges and exploration.  Until CoH.  CoH made me want to get the badges, it made me want to explore all the different little places and do all the different missions for all the little stories that made your character feel like a part of you.  I loved the TF's I loved soloig, I loved badge hunting, I loved missions teams so when I got on I could go in any direction at any time and do anything.  I tried to think of something I wish I could have done.  But all I can think of are things I am glad I did do.

[Styrj]

The thing with me is that I wish I had more time to get more of my toons to 50.  I had a Tech Scrapper called Mud Slinger that I got to the mid 40s when the game was jerked out from under our feet.  Also, I was infected with severe case of altitus.  My only real regret in not being able to play CoX anymore.  Come on Plan Zs!!
