Which hero would you recreate first -
« on: June 25, 2014, 02:33:36 PM »
If (or hopefully, when) the game actually comes back live, if we have to start all over, who would you make first.

I had like 40 alts - 20 I played more or less regular and maybe 4 or 5 I played the most.

it would be my first 50 - Doc Heal - Illusion , Empathy - though I didn't play him much the last 2 years or so, he was the only toon I made way back in 2004 that I kept all the way to the end.

He saw me through many great TF"s and missions and whatnot over 8 years and I feel a certain loyalty to him.

Its a toss up.  My main was an AR\Devices Blaster whom I adored and had built up to a really insane level.  On the other hand my namesake was my Ice\Ice Tanker who was also fairly badass, though admittedly a little more difficult to build.

I would bring back my original claws/sr scrapper.  He was my first toon, and I did not create an alt until he hit 50.  I still associate the game with that character.

I'd recreate the first character I ever created, which was also my main character for the whole four and a half years I played the game. He was War Mace/ Electric Armor, though I think I'll change War Mace to Electric Melee or Super Strength.

I didn't have as many as some, but I had quite a few.
These were my top five:
The Black Librarian: Blaster  Psy/energy (An homage to my Warhammer 40K Character)
DeepStryker: Stalker Spines/Super Reflexes (My main soloist)
Then I had my two "project" toons
KageNoKami:  Dark/Dark (The Master of all Darkness. While he started as a corrupter, I had copies of him across the servers in all of the AT's that could spec as dark/dark)
Actinic Glare: Electric/Electric (A full body cyborg that started as a brute, but had modules that allowed him to fill other roles as needed)

"IF" it were to happen, the first character I would recreate would be my illusion/storm controller  ;D  Still patiently waiting for CoT  ;)  I've waited this long...I can wait some more 8)   (not really, but I keep telling myself to be patient..lol)

Brand X, my claws/regen brute. He was the discount supersoldier weapon, with nearly-indestructible metal grafted to his skeleton. He was pretty good at what he did, so long as your standards weren't too high. But what he did wasn't very nice.

Brawling Humiliator.  No question.  Brawl/WP Brute. :)

Dawn Sisters would be next.  Ruby (Mind/Emp 'Troller), Cerise (Mind/Psi Dom) and Rose (Mind/Kin 'Troller)

And then Thing of Bigness, SS/WP Brute.  He'd be my main, but those other four are important.  Must haves.

For me that's easy. He was my first character in beta, first character when the game went live and the one I was playing when the game went down. I ended having about 10 different versions of him across most of the servers.  Captain Neat-O

My first will be my Tank, Willpower/Super Strength (but may reroll as Street Fighting). The second would be my Trick Arrow/Archery Defender.

My first would probably be my street justice / willpower scrapper, though I might make her energy aura instead. Then, once I got them unlocked, my fortunata.

That's a hard one. I had a lot of characters that I'd want to play again...but I'd probably go with my main.

She wasn't my original character, but I'd probably remake Scitenik, which became my main character over time. She was a kinetic melee/willpower brute. Not the most effective combination, but after I sunk a fair amount of inf into her build, it worked out all right.

A Dark/Dark Scrapper probably. :)

That was the first toon I ever created without Hubby's input, and she was a LOT of fun!

The one I'd probably re-roll first was originally a throw-away toon created to run with the Iron Eagles--a when you die, you're out, so don't get attached unless you're REALLY careful kind of SG.  Her name was Calli Shri, an Illusion/Radiation controller based on her backstory that she was the creator of a line of mineral makeup that went horribly wrong...or terribly right as the case may be.  (I had purchased make-up that day, so it was on the brain, OK?  :-P)

She turned out to be so much fun to play both in teams and solo that she quickly became one of my mains.

My first toon back in 2004 was an En/En blaster. She'd get a remake in a heartbeat because it was my first and my 2nd most enjoyable toon to play. After that it would be my Fire/Storm controller that would be remade (for me the most "fun" AT combo in the game). After going through all that it would be my Storm/Energy Defender.

My main used to be an Emp/Psi defender. I wouldn't torture myself with that combo ever again. Ever.

I did a  Kin/wp brute at the launch of Going Rouge, a little trickier then most builds but he was my FIRST heroic brute.

Definately going to remake my spines/regen scrapper Xerine. I actualy got exited when I heard the news and tried my hand at making a new build for her. After every thing I ended up with MoG up every minute. And with maxed out incarnates 3000% Regen. It's really nuts though.

Risha, but since I didn't know what I was doing at the time she was a mind/emp troller which is tough to solo AVs on...so, after advice on the other thread, I'll be making her a mind/kin troller.  Then another troller, Ill/emp (love trollers, my best was illusiva who was ill/rad and wonderful)...then a beast mistress, then my dark/dark scrapper, then one of my best tanks, then a Staff Tsar (or Staff Tsar Gent).

Almost surely it would be Robo-Santa, my grav/storm controller. He was my first character in The Sims Online (where he originated actually), my first in CoH, and my first in CO (where he is a pretty amusing gadgeteer), so it is kind of required that he scouts out the territory for the rest in any relaunch situation.

I won't be "recreating" any of my characters exactly, I don't think.  I will reinvent a few though.

As for first?  If we are given it, I will go for a Psi/Invuln Brute or Scrap as a re-make of my main: Pointsphere.  He may be born with a new name though, I'm thinking something like Psipher.  For my second character, I will likely do some version of Gravity Control as a second sort of re-invention of my ex-main.  Maybe a Dom?  Grav/Elec?  Grav/Psi?  No idea.

I would make all of them the first day, but just as name-holders.  I would make new characters to actually play.  The old ones would just be shadows of their former selves, and I think it would be less painful to start fresh.

I am torn I had 7 level 50 scrappers (had 1 non scrapper at 50 ill/rad controller)

My very first 50 was
katana/sr

I also have some love for DM (I had a dm/sr and a dm/da)

I was an AV hunter and one of my favorite to solo AV's was fire/sd but then EA came out and I went db/ea

Spines/da while fun when I did it back before IO's I think is not in my top builds I want to recreate

the one I know I would skip again is db/elec; ill/rad (yes the controller was powerful just not a scrapper)


I am torn about the decision darn this is harder than I thought gerr

My first level 50 was an illus/emp, back in 2004. Back in the day when healers were deemed essential to a team. I figured Illus could let me solo decently while empathy would get me a lot of team invites.

It'll probably end up being my SS/Fire Brute, Infernal Infested. I had her one purple candy off of the positional defense softcaps AND she had permahasten.

I think my main challenge that I was going through was how to keep all that and squeeze in Sorcery in there for Enflame. just to add to the cackling glee of burnination.

I'll probably also end up making another Crabstermind, Soldier of arachnos with the two sets of spider-pets perma. It's a blaster, it's a tank, it's a mastermind!

Before that I had some other toon, I forget what it was even. I was on a team and when I first saw Phantom Army I thought they were the bad guys and tried to attack them LOL.

After seeing that I basically made my Illus right after that mission. I just HAD to have one.

Bah!!!  too many windows open.  posted into wrong one.


I'm still running my rig from the final days of coh.

Basic business desktop: hp pavillion with an amd 840T
Ram:  16GB
Video: evga nvidia 560 Ti
All I had to do was swap the video cards and install a bigger power supply.  That rig ran all settings in ultra mode.  It run gw2 today in the highest settings.  not real issues.

I ran 2 copies of the game at the same time.  Both windowed.  On separate displays driven by one video card.  Also ran, wmp for music, firefox for browsing, notepad for notes, excel for my toon info, pidgen for IMing, ventrillo for chatting and sometimes other apps as well.

My Crab Spider.  Partly because he was probably my favourite character, and partly because the name I gave him wasn't very creative so I'd want to make sure I got it before someone else grabbed it.

After that my namesake (who was a Dark/Dark/Dark Defender), simply due to sentimentality.

Engine Jean. My second toon, created after I finally managed to log back in after the shutdown announcement. Originally drafted as a cyborg villain, re-drafted as a villain masquerading as a hero to dupe Paragon City heroes into helping her take revenge on another villain responsible for crippling her (cue a major change of heart after realizing she enjoyed being on the side of angels).
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

I don't think I could pair Emp with anything else. I struggled with Emp as a set trying a number of other sets but always was kind of fond of the idea of running an Ill/emp. Once I did, I never looked back.

If I can have my big, fluffy vet reward wings back from the start instead of having to wait for them?

Grey Kestrel (rogue DB/WP Stalker) and Palrah (hero WP/DB tank), my red and blue side mains. No question about that.
They're the two characters who meant the most to me, and the two I'd most love to have back. They'd be restarted concurrently, because I can't choose between them.

(Kestrel... with her Adept partner and constant companion, Cardinal)


(Pally, who was always surprised just how devoted snowbeasts were to keeping their candy)


They'd be followed in very short order by Nemissary, my much-beloved "Crazy Death Mage" (A dark defender)...


If I *can't* have my bird-thing's wings... It'll all be down to Nem. And maybe Hanano, my hero-side Ninja Mastermind.

Probably my main Scrapper, Claws/Regen (When I started wanted to make Wolverine). I'll probably change Regen to Fire though, just because near the end I was having a lot of fun with a Fiery Aura toon, and Regen just wasn't to much fun for me.

Also, if the game comes back with Psionic Melee in it, probably Psi Melee/Energy or Willpower Brute. Made a GL-like toon on Icon, and really want to test out Psi Melee in-game.

Either my Dual Pistols/Devices Blaster and remake him as Dual Bullets/Fire
My Robotics/Pain Dom MM, probably make one similar but with FF's or Traps
My Empathy/Psychic Defender
My Fire/Kin Controller (you cannot make a controller without making a Fire Kin). Such godly combo's
My Stone/Stone Tank
My Energy/Regen Stalker

That's all I can think of. I got some other stuff I would make if they finish Issue 24 with Pyschic Melee and stuff. That looks sweet.

My main was an Ice/Fire/Soul Tanker, but I'm going to reroll him as an Ice/Elec/Pyre Tanker this time around. As much as I loved using Fire Sword Circle > Combustion > Dark Obliteration for AoE carnage, I remember getting a bit bored by their animations. So I'm going to see how well Lightning Rod, Chain Induction, Thunder Strike, and Fire Ball do for AoE mayhem.

"Hero"?

All the characters I most want to recreate are villains. :D  (Elec/Inv Brute, Bots/Storm MM, Grav/Elec Dom)

Nice images, great work.

Yes, I also would start out with the same characters.

I only had one hero get to 50, and I had an absolute blast playing her.

Lady Daethstryke - Dark/Dark Scrapper

I had others I enjoyed - Rad/Rad Defender (very tiny and funny looking when running around town with Super Speed), Fire/Fire Blaster (Amun-Re - an Egyptian Pharoah that was awakend by CoT when a new museum exhibit was in town) - but Lady Daethstryke will be recreated first.

That's a tough one...not!

I'd remake my ice/ice blaster. I'd start off with the ice mastery until I got red side and get the pet spiders back for the bonuses. (unless respecs are a thing of the past for some reason)

Followed by my fire/fire brute and then my ill/rad controller

No! Wait, I'd reroll my ...no! I'd ..well, I really dunno what I'd do after I got my blaster, brute and controller back up and running.

I would create my mind/Kin toon first out of respect for it being my first toon. Afterwards, I would remake my rad/rad defender because lots of folks love rads. Finally I would recreate my Widow . I loved that widow. I wasnt the greatest with her, I didnt have the chance to make her great like i knew she could be, but she made me love COH all over againa fter I stopped plaing for 2 years

I've got two characters that fit the bill here.

First is Coldcrash, an Invulnerability/Ice Melee Tanker. He was my first 50 and the one character I experienced most of the game with for the first time. It took me a while to figure out the Tanker's actual role, and for a good bit I played him like you would play a Melee DPS archetype. Eventually he just kinda clicked with me and I got really sucked into finding new ways to push his limits as a Tanker. I spent countless hours tweaking his build in Mids and fine-tuning him to fit my playstyle. He's the character who taught me how to use IOs. He was my go-to guy for badges and new content. He was virtually indestructible - I had his defense softcapped to all types but Psi, and I had capped hit points with perma-Dull Pain on top of Invulnerability's inherent resistances. played with the idea of rerolling him as something else if we ever get the game back, but honestly no other powers fit nearly as well for him in my head, and I love Invulnerability and Ice Melee enough to where, even though there are more well-rounded pairings out there, I would totally do it again.

The other one is Wild Streak, a Beast Summoning/Sonic Resonance Mastermind that I fell in love with shortly before the game shut down. I had already played a Mastermind to 50 (a Necro/Poison), but I guess I had a better understanding of the game's mechanics by the time I started Wild Streak that I had a much easier time getting used to the pet mechanics. Sonic worked really well with Beasts - with all my shields, their resistances where nicely stacked. The resistance debuffs helped me rip things to shreds, plus I felt pretty confident in my contribution to teams. I just really enjoyed the overall experience with this character. He probably would have rivaled my Tanker in terms of activity level if the game didn't shut down.

I'd have to recreate my namesake [Neutrio - Emp/Rad defender] -- might choose something else as a secondary.


After that, would come my Inv/SS tank -- she was so much fun to play


Then I'd try out other ATs & powersets I never got around to -- like SJ

It is a difficult decision.
Each one of my toons was a part of me.
The confident Paragon Avenger Ill/Kin controller,
The silly Super Fire Dragon wp/fire tank,
The stoic Tattered Avenger MA/dark scrapper,
The frightening Necrophillia necro/dark MM,
The experienced Kolissa Fortunata Widow,
The calculating Paragon Comptroller earth/rad controller,
The show-off Dr. Wos broadsword/regen scrapper,
The insane Flower Night arrows/something blaster
(I did rp having her sad because she had lost her 'K'),
The entertaining Umbral Schrumbral warshade
(Some post said that all WS should be named Umbral something.  I disagree.),
The well put together Super Kollider wp/ss tank.

All of those except the insane one made it to 50.
And some exceeded the hard-cap level 50.
(incarnate stuff).

So where do I begin?

Good question...tell you the honest truth, I don't really know. However, I'd probably make a few new concepts instead of rebuilding the old ones. Although I'd have to have a Fire tanker, plus an Energy Aura Brute of some sort, and an array of Scrappers, with an Ill/Rad to round out the mix.

It's funny you asked this, because there were several characters that were literally under the "delete" button, and for a reason or another I didn't do it, and later on I enjoyed playing them a lot, a few of them even reached 50+3... but I think I'd start back with my 1st 50 ever, my elec / empath fender.

I'd make a single Tanker to make Tanker Tuesdays (if we have enough people to continue that event), however, if we have the options we did at Freedom I'll switch over to Brute as my primary AT.

I know, try running a defender.
Especially, an empathy defender.

Just for a change.

My Staff/Invulnerability/Leviathan Scrapper, Ocean Knight, probably with a better name, and definitely with a couple of costume tweaks. I loved playing this guy more than I rightfully should have. I once ran him with a PUG that was doing +4 missions once I hit 50 and managed to tank a mob of 16 Knives of Artemis by myself, covered in caltrops and web grenades for five minutes straight after my team wiped, giving them enough time to all hosp/wakie and get back to finish the group off. That pretty much cemented him as my favorite character ever.

I'm simply not built for defendering.  I tried multiple versions of it, and the only ones who ever survived were Racer Stripe (Kin/Rad) and Winterking (Ice/Ice).  They just never worked for me.

My first two characters were the ones I played the most and I'd want them both back.

My claws/sr/bm scrapper was my first character and my first 50.  He was the very first super hero I created when I was a kid.  I learned the game with him.  And he started off with just super speed back in Issue 3 so playing him taught me the lay of the land on hero side very well.  He also allowed me to play at such a fast pace that after him, most other characters were slow and I lost interest.  He was my main for most of my time playing.  And he was my funnest character to play.  Prior to Galaxy City's destruction I purposely left him there to defend the zone because that was his starting (and my starting zone).  I once told myself he'd replace Backalley Brawler and become the trainer in that zone.  Well, on the last day of the game I logged back onto the character to take screenshots and found that he was still in Galaxy City (not the echo), and he didn't get kicked to another zone.  I ended up standing him right where Backalley Brawler used to stand so he could be the defacto trainer, took a bunch of screenshots and then logged off him for the last time, almost crying when I said goodbye. 

My mind/kin/psi controller was my second character and my second 50.  The character was patterned off another character of mine, but he also became a sudo me (a me with telekinesis and flight :P ).  I picked him to log in with to get his name as my global.  I toyed with the idea of changing him to my main for years since I saw more of myself in him than my other character.  He was also much more versatile than my scrapper.  Once incarnate content came out I realized I didn't have the time to incarnate both characters out so I made the command decision to main my controller and went to 50(+3) with him and just had a blast.  He was the character I stayed logged in with when Liberty server shutdown for the last time:  just hanging out in Croatoa chasing and being chased by his dog.

Good times! And couple tough choices for me :)

Well, I made all kinds of them, but early to mid 30s or so, I'd just lose interest.  I guess it was all the soloing.  Those two made it to fifty because they were actually fun to play on their own.

High fantasy magic and wizards really intrigue me and I'm usually a mage class in games, so, assuming I could create a blueside villain straightaway (please xD) or could move him Going Rogue style, it would be my Fire/Rad Corruptor, Chromystic. I tried to make his powers similar to Dr. Strange, and I think it worked out quite well. I would definitely rename him, though.
