Now I guess I'll never...

It's a hell of a thing, killing a game. You take away all it's got and all it's ever going to have. (with apologies to Clint Eastwood, from Unforgiven)

I keep thinking of all the things I'm never going to get a chance to do now, in City of Heroes.

I started writing a guide a while back about player notes. It's a nice feature, but not well known and not well documented. No point in finishing it now.

I had lots of ideas for AE stories that I'll never write now, like the mission where Back Alley Brawler is hit by a shrink ray, so a tiny little BAB follows you around in the mission.

If I ever got around to learning how to draw, I was going to draw a series of CoH comics based on common misspellings and bad puns, like the Rouge Aisles, or a Dark Armoir powerset.

There are characters I'll never create, like Leo Rex, the energy aura/kinetic melee brute, half lion/half man. I loved the way the golden powers looked against his golden fur in the character creator, but I never actually put him into the game world for some reason. No point now.

I always wondered what it would be like to have a team of 8 shield characters all hit shield charge at the same time, or 8 electric melee characters all hit that lightning bolt teleport power at the same time. But I don't know if I'll have time to level up a character high enough to get those powers by November, what with school and all. So I'll probably never know.

I don't think I'll have time to play through every different path available in Praetoria. Or get my old katana/regen scrapper, my first level 50, totally maxed out with incarnate stuff. I'll never play the grifter role from the Halloween event. I always meant to go back and study in more detail the not-really-random way the game resolves ties in the auction house. Just so many things...

So what's some of the stuff you'll regret not having a chance to do?

NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.

I was really looking forward to the Vigilante and Rogue content going live and then being followed up with similar content ranging from 20-50.

I was really excited about finally getting some sort of chemical tank backpack for one of my villains. Dink never even posted anything beyond the verbal listing of that post apoc. detail!

I had honestly thought that the game would survive long enough for us to see the Omega slots unveiled, even if server merges had happened by that time.

Those pigg dived premium power pools had me giddy with a sense of variety and dreading a wide swath of respecs for existing characters.

And I was still holding out hopes for a premium whips set for a name I'd camped a while back: Bayou Bijou.

Things I was planning to do someday:

* Level my PB to 50, and my Crab Spider, Bane Spider, and Fortuna to 50, so that I could claim to have a 50 of everything, instead of just "one of two kheldian ATs and one of four SoA ATs". (My bane was named "Barbie Bane", I liked that one.)

* Finish that AE story I had planned which was basically helping a daughter save her father -- a "Tom Swift" style teen action adventurer (now quite old). With lots of over-the-top stuff and in-jokes.

* Level a toon from 1 to 50 all in Praetoria.

* Level up a whole lot of my other alts.

* That DfB 1-50 with 7 characters thing. Yeah, don't think I'm spending the last 3 months of the game on that one.

On the other hand, I do intend to do a few of the things I still haven't done (which are few and far between). Still haven't played a Praetorian all the way up through those arcs, still haven't played through Night Ward, still haven't done the last of SSA1 or any of SSA2, which won't be complete of course, but I should do it. And there's probably at least 1 redside SF I haven't done yet.
