I am on the verge of purchasing COH but can someone list ALL the content? I haven't seen much of the game so far. Thanks!

You're best off heading over to Paragon Wiki and browsing there... Way too much content in the game to post in a forum reply.

Do you want that double or single spaced? This may take a while.

How about the best content, doing random missions gets old and that's all I've been doing so far.

Are you playing through contact missions or radio/newspaper missions?
What level are you?
Are you playing for the stories or just looking for a challenge?
Have you tried the Mission Architect missions?
What kind of missions/content do you like?

"Best content" is going to be very subjective depending on what the player answering you likes themselves. Maybe give us some hints on what you like and we might be able to steer you a little better.

Well I play for the fun of it, I like the challenge, action and teamwork. Enlighten me, I'm on a trial so I don't know what I'm missing out on.

Blueside the Hollows arcs in the 5-15 range are decent although most of us long time vets have burned out on them, they used to be THE place everyone went in the 5-15 range and we ran them dozens of times.

The Vahz plague arc in the 15-20 range is worth doing, as is the entire Faultline series of arcs from 15-25.

Strigga Island is worth doing for nice temp powers and a decent series of arcs, it starts at level 20 and goes to 30. There's two Task Forces here, Moonfire and Hess, both are fun and well worth running.

Croatoa is interesting as well with several arcs running from 25-35. The Katie Hannon Task Force is here from 30-35; the rewards were nerfed severely awhile back but it's still fun to do. Beware, many of the villains in Croatoa are tougher than average.

The Freakolympics arc in the 20's is certainly worth doing, it's an old classic but still a lot of fun.

There's several nice arcs in the 30's... the Doctor's Ally in Brickstown, the Terra arc in Founder's Falls and others that escape me at the moment.

The 40's gives you Tina MacIntyre from 40-45 for the start of the Praetorian arc... this continues with Maria Jenkins in the Hero's Hero arc from 45-50. Lots of AV's and a fun series of missions. Unai (forget his last name) has another nice arc in the 40's, he's located in Portal Corp next to Castle.

Of course there's a lot of enjoyable arcs that I'm not thinking of right now in all level ranges, and there's the Task Forces too.

Since it's revamp the Positron TF (10-15) is quite enjoyable... it IS a challenge but fun.

Synapse is kind of meh (and long) from 15-20 but it's worth a lot of merits and if you're in that level range it should get you a couple of levels.

Sister Psyche (20-25) is one of my favorite TF's to run, all Freakshow, quick and a good payoff of merits.

Citadel (25-30) is fun, all Council and can be fast or rather slow depending on how much damage you have on the team.

Manticore (30-35) is a cool TF facing Crey and well worth running.

Numina (35-40) is interesting and can be challenging.

Doing all 6 of these TF's gives you the Task Force Commander accolade worth bonus hit points and a costume part (shoulder epaulets)

You should do the Midnighter's introduction arc sometime in the 20-35 range, the contact is in the University in Steel Canyon. This will give you access to Cimerora and the Imperious Task Force from 35-50... this is one of the most popular TF's in the game.

The Rikti War Zone has a decent arc in the 35-50 range and the Lady Grey Task Force (LGTF) from 45-50.

Of course you also have the Statesman's Task Force (STF) from 45-50 in Independence Port, one of the most challenging TF's in the game.

That's what stands out in my mind; there are dozens of other arcs and one-shot missions I'm not thinking about right now... there's no way to go through everything on one character. We have over 6 years of content to go through... heck on my last character I even found an old arc I hadn't played before and I've been here nearly 6 years, they're still adding more as well.

Well For Heroes you have Task Force, it is a group of team doing missions and they can have some challenges in them list here. Some of the goods ones are Statesman's Task Force,The Lady Grey Task Force, Imperious Task Force. Villians have Strike Force, list here and I like them all.

There are some Raids Rikti Ship Raid in the Rikti War Zone. The Hamidon Raid

With I18 we got Cathedral of Pain Trial

What Call Me Awesome said. I'd add to it but I'm headed out the door at the moment.

Also, since GR came out now, I'd highly encourage you to get that when/if you purchase the game instead of any of the more basic options. The 1-20 content they've cooked up for Praetoria's easily among the best stuff in the game at the moment. I know it costs a bit more but it really is some good stuff.

Naw, you just stand around Atlas yelling obsinities in broadcast and doing costume contests.

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

Good question, I've just reached level 8 and haven't been offered a radio or paper yet so I don't know. I've only been in Nova Praetoria and the Underground so far though.

You don't really need a travel power in Praetoria.

Same place there has been one for several issues now...The Shard and Grandville.

Issue 18 upped the travel speed for just sprint. And praetoria isn't THAT big. There are trains going between all zones and many of the critters in the zones are yellow-con, meaning they won't attack you if you leave them alone. Between that, and (probably) the majority of the players with ninja run after level 4, older vets having travel powers unlock at level 6, others having the assemble the team or recall friend powers...there really isn't a need for jetpacks in there.

I'd just email yourself (from another character) the jet pack recipe plus salvage or head to the market in Imperial City and pick it up.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
