Things you wished you did before COH closed.

[OzonePrime]

Teaming, task forces, and several story arcs. Could have been busy for years. Well, when we get our City back, I'll be busy!

[LaughingAlex]

Leveled a tanker to 50, one of the few archtypes I never got to 50 because I didn't have character slots for it.

[Risha]

I hadn't finished exploring Night Ward...and there was a timed mission I rarely made because I was too busy saving downed rebel cops...I'd have liked to have aced that one.

[Triplash]

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.

... 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.

... I like your attitude!

I've been trying to figure out what my own answer to this would be, and I think that's why I haven't been able to come up with anything. Because like yourself, I don't regret what I didn't do... I'm grateful for what I did get to do.

Plus, it helps that I still fully believe we'll be able to do all these things again one day. So starting right now I'm making a list, and whenever I think of something I didn't get to do, I'm gonna add it to that list. And one bright day, hopefully not too far away, it's going to stop being a regret list and start being a to-do list. I can feel it!

I wish I had explored and played the Redside more.  I had gotten to do all the blueside content at least once and ditto for Praetoria and new/revamped areas like Dark Astoria, but I never finished earning Patron powers even once.  Never did the arc where a Hero falls and becomes a Villain; nor the arc where a Villain finds redemption; but I did pack in as much game play as I possibly could those last 3 months.   

[RockLeeXIII]

I wish i maxed out my char lvl ... that would have been cool ... guess make more friends ...
join a super villian group  ... got access to a base ... kill a couple of heroes ... 
and find a way to copy the server lol ... actually that last one is serious...

I've never been a picture taken type of person but I started playing WOW again last night. I decided that I've got the harddrive space, So I'm going to snap screen shots like crazy as I level up my Blood Elf Priest.

I've played WOW many times before but I let my altaholicism get the best of me and never actually maxed out a character. So this time, I'm "going to try" not to make any alts, until I get this priest where I want him.

I really really wish I hadn't had blown up when I first heard CoX was closing.

I missed the final party entirely, I stopped playing and uninstalled everything the moment a friend told me their friend worked for Paragon Studios, and the game was shutting down.

I was absolutely distraught. Devastated. I grew up delivering newspapers so I could buy comic books. City of Heroes was where I belonged. A constant nagging pain that lasted for months.

I didn't save my costume files. I couldn't even look at superhero movies for several months. I have no demorecords.

Thank goodness for this community, paragonwiki, Icon (codewalker) and my real life friends that humor me by playing tabletop games based on the superhero genre. You are all heroes.

[saipaman]

I regret not seeing all the powers in the water power set.

[pogoman]

I wish I could've done more rp'ing on the Virtue server. Gotten more badges on my main. Gotten Incarnate level on several of my level 50's I had for years who deserved it.  Attended more rp/social events. I wish I had more time to enjoy the game then I did thanks to carpal tunnel surgeries the last couple of years the game was open. Ah well, c'est la vie. I think most of life is 20/20 hindsight vision.

[Tubbius]

Add playing more on my scrappers (Street Justice, Staff Fighting) to the list.  In playing other games since City, I'm finding out I'm apparently pretty decent with the whole scrapper concept, where I thought I wasn't so great back then.

Sigh. 

[Arcana]

There was always more to do, but what I got to do in City of Heroes I'm not sure anyone else got to do in anything else.  Its hard to have any regrets there.

Although I never did get that Master of Underground badge, damn mines.

[Triplash]

Although I never did get that Master of Underground badge, damn mines.

Well hey, look on the bright side. At least those mines were effective and not just pointless decoration. That's a good thing.

A mine is a terrible thing to waste.

[Arcana]

Well hey, look on the bright side. At least those mines were effective and not just pointless decoration. That's a good thing.

Lets just say the Underground design was a social experiment that could have blown up in the devs faces, and at one point I came close to striking the match on it.  The design is so punitive to the actions of a single player that it promotes singling out uncooperative players.  And I was this close --><-- to being the player that gave that power to every pissed off trial runner.  I decided not to, but that was the closest I ever came to being the one to lob the bomb and see what happens.  And this is me we're talking about.

A mine is a terrible thing to waste.

[Twisted Toon]

A mine is a terrible thing to waste.

As groan worthy as that was, I did chuckle a bit.
But then, I'm weird and actually like jokes like that.

I still wonder why everyone tells me to shut up though...
