Things you've never done

I don't know, maybe this should go into City Life rather than here. But it is a question/discussion....hmm, if Mod 08 wants to move it, I won't argue

Anyway, as I'm rapidly approaching my 60 month vet badge, I got to thinking about the sheer number of characters I've made and deleted over the years and then that led into a thought stream of all the stuff in-game that I've still never done...

So, for all you long timers (or even you short timers if you feel like joining in), what in this game have you never accomplished?

For me:
I've never been on a Hami raid

(actually I've only ever SEEN Hami once on my main badge character, trying about a dozen times to get the Heart of Hamidon badge)

I've never even attempted any of the Statesman TF, Recluse TF, Lady Grey TF

I've never successfully finished the Hydra/Sewers Trial

I've never done a Hess TF, but I have done the other TF in Striga

I've never gotten the Task Force Commander accolade

(collectively, I've done all of original TF's, but never all of them on one toon)

---

So how about it? Anything you've never done in the game, but keep meaning to?

I've never been able to let an empty character slot sit longer than a week before dropping an alt in it >_>

I have never done a Posi.
I have no accolades.
I have very few badges on all of my chars. Just not that into badge hunting...
I too have never left an empty slot longer than a week without an alt going into it.
I've never got a vill to 50. 35 is the closest for me after 42 months of play.

42 month vet.

I've never done a Hami Raid. My server is very elitist about them. If one specific person isn't running it, or if someone who hasn't been sanctioned by that person tries to run it, nobody will bother to come. And they won't even try to do a Villain Hami Raid, regardless of who leads it. It's just as bad for RWZ Ship Raids, except if a member of a specific SG isn't running it, nobody will come.

I've never done the the new 5th Column T/SF, never done ANY of the Villain SFs except Silver Mantis, and never done any of the Master Of T/SFs.

I've never done the Dr. Quarterfield, Mender Lazarus, Mender Silos, Sara Moore, or Faathim the Kind TFs.

I've never did the Cathedral of Pain Trial or a Villain Respec Trial.

I've never launched a Warburg rocket.

I haven't run all of the Kheldian or SoA Arcs.

I've never made use of the Dual Builds system. I've made plans for it, but never used it.

I've never gone into a PvP Zone for the singular purpose of participating in PvP. I've gone there for the badges, and on the first STF I was on, we all went to get Shivans.

I've never participated in an Arena Event. I did load up both of my accounts, and attempt to earn the Lanista badge in a rated Gladiator match, but I didn't get it.

I've never been able to get any of the Ski Slope Badges.

Heroes: I've only done a handfull of TF's.

Villains: I've done most of the SF's. Can't recall the ones I haven't done off-hand (been too long since I last played).

Co-Op: Haven't done Lady Grey SF/TF. Don't know if the 5th Column is Co-Op or not (haven't done it, either).

Never seen Hami at all, hero or villain.

Maybe this go-round I'll get to do some of the things I've passed over the last few times.

Figured as much. Just wasn't sure. Took a sebattical back in Feb 09, and just came back last weekend.

Hmmmmm.... have to think about it.
I've never done one of the "new" hami raids. Just no interest. Old ones, yeah, I've been at a few.
I've never done a LRSF.
Never did the COP for the week or so it was out.
Never participated in a base raid.
Never built a character (from scratch, respec, or as a dual build) specifically for PVP.
Never ran the Calvin Scott TF.
Edit:
Have to add, after seeing FF's list, "Unlocked viridian" as well. Think I'm one badge away... wait, after the last changes, maybe I have it. Have to check. Also the INF cap bit.

Don't feel too bad.

I've been playing since retail release and I don't have Task Force Commander on any character either. I have a number of characters with 3-4 TF badges, but not the 4th or 5th. TFs are surprisingly tough for me to participate in since, while I can play alot, I have to jump off the computer after an hour or so fairly frequently.

I have never done the new Hami. I have had plenty of opportunities to do so, but I disliked Hami raiding back in the day, and once SHOs were winnable by doing the States TF and invention IOs came along, I've never looked back.

As to the other things I've never done ...

* Calvin Scott TF - most newer players have never heard of it. By the time I even heard about the TF, the TF was removed.
* Unlocked Viridian - who apparently has some of the most awesome PvE content in the game. It's something that I'll eventually get to one day.
* Have more than 250 badges on any one character - I just don't care about badges unless they unlock something or provide an accolade. The 250 represents just playing the game, purposely getting accolades/unlocks and a bunch of Veteran and market badges.
* Reached the influence/infamy cap on a single character.
* Completed either of the PB/WS story arcs. My highest Kheldian is level 12 Peacebringer (created in issue 3), though I've had access to them when they were first introduced.
* Baracuda SF (though I've done the hero version a few times)
* Eden trial
* Have only done 1 Shard TF (Sara Moore)
* Completed more than just a handful of the Ouro badges

Hmm, let me think.

1. Villain side Hami raid ever.
2. Hero Hami raid since it was re-vamped
3. Master LRSF (although I've done multiple regular runs)
4. Calvin Scott TF
5. Haven't leveled a Brute (49), Dominator (42), or SoA (33) to 50 yet.
6. Haven't utilized the 2nd build option

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Just recently dinged 63 month vet status myself, and think I've pretty much experienced everything in the game apart from the above.

To the OP, with respect to Hess and Lady Grey Task Forces, these are two of the best TFs in the game IMO, and are run with some regularity (at least on Champion where I call home). I highly recommend you run them when you get the chance.


Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?
A. Positron: Whoops, my bad.

1387 badges, and counting

Its a lot of fun red side. I've heard its a slog villain side though I haven't done it since it was on test and it was a slog then.

But its quick and a blast to do hero side. Definitely check it out if you get a chance, we try to run it periodically with the SG because.. well beating up natzis is fun.

Hmmm... There are tons of things I've not done.

* Haven't got an L50 of every AT
* Haven't filled up all the character slots on a server (although I'm pretty
close on a couple of them)
* Havent got a toon with more than 400 badges
* Have only run 3 hero taskforce/trials ever Posi, Hess, Respec (I am
a 90% solo player). I did do one Hami Raid way back in I3-I4 timeframe.
* Have never run a villain tf of any sort.
* Have never even seen "Sally" in Croatoa, or defeated any of the Villain
"monsters" (I have gotten most of the hero ones at one time or other)
* Have never made a SG base on anything bigger than the default plot.
* Have never PL'd a character...
* Have never played any sonic toon past L5 (the noise drives me nuts)
* Have never played a character past L5 that *didn't* also have a backstory
in his/her bio. All of my toons need a reason to exist...

That's just the stuff off the top of my head... I'm sure there are countless
things I've not yet done in this game...

54-month vet here.

I think the only thing I see on peoples' lists that I haven't done in my time in CoX is the Cathedral of Pain Trial (I never did Calvin Scott's TF either, but I started playing RIGHT after they removed it from the game, so I never even saw that one).

When the CoP Trial went live mid-week (as I recall), our SG did an initial run, but as I work weekdays, I was going to have to wait until the weekend to try it out. Then, of course, the massive exploit was discovered and that was that for the CoP Trial.

Hmmm...

- the Hollows story arcs - while I've joined teams for a few mission here and there, I don't think I've ever taken one character completely through them. I usually stop at Frostfire.

- Kheldian story arcs - incomplete. I got tired of the Voids.

- Hami Raids - participated in a couple of the old ones just to see what it was about, but I haven't gone into the new ones. Is the Hami mission in the LGTF the Abyss zone?

- Abandoned Sewer Trial - tried it 2-3 times, all failures. Gave it up and never looked back. Its set up is too much like the Villain Respec Trials.

- unlockable Contacts villain side - never made the effort for them. I don't know what most of them look like and am only aware of a few of their names from mentions in the forums. Does hero side have unlockable Contacts?

- History Badges - I think only one character has one, but I don't know when it got it. That said...

- Accolades buffs - the only one I get regularly is the TF Commander. I don't have any others.

- Scrappers - never got one above the low-teens before deleting.

- Stalkers - never bothered.

- Peacebringers - haven't tried it yet. I just have one Warshade for the Kheldian archetype and I was seriously thinking of deleting it.

- VEATS - haven't tried them yet.

- PVP zone missions - I tried a few, didn't stay for the whole set.

- Ouroborus TFs - I was on teams for a couple of them, only one was successful. I don't know which it was. I haven't see the others.


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

I'm within a few days of 60 months...

I've done almost everything. But what I haven't done...

-I haven't finished the Kheldian arcs. These may be the only hero-side thing I haven't done.
-I haven't completed a ski run for a badge.
-I haven't done many of the villain arcs.
-I haven't done any villain SFs.
-I haven't defeated many of the villain GMs.


Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Indeed!

The list of things I've already done is certainly much shorter than the list of things I haven't, which means there are so many more things still awaiting for me to try to do.

Never been on a TF or SF. Ever. And I've been playing since the one year anniversary. Every time I get invited to run a TF, I'm about to log out.

Only trial I ever ran was TV, but we failed it.

Never got a hero to 50, though I'm very close (my Scrapper is level 46 right now).

Never been in any Shadow Shard Zone except Firebase Zulu. Also never been in Eden, The Hive, or the Abyss.

Never done any Hami or Ship raids.

Never finished the SoA arcs.

Never completed the Cimerora arcs.

Never done the redside Midnight Club arcs.

Never gotten any Ouroboros badges except for "Entrusted with the Secret"

Never beaten any of the following GMs: Babbage, Adamastor, Lusca, Jurassik, Kraken, Kronos Class Titan, Arachnos Flier, Caleb, U'Kon Gr'ai, Winter Lord, or Halloween Jack in Irons.

Never played an Arena match. However, I have been in every PVP Zone with my Ninjas/Dark MM and even scored a couple of PVP kills with him

Never farmed or PL'ed.
