What WON'T you miss?

I'm not going to miss the Inventions system. I don't like resource management and I don't like limiting performance by random drops. Plus, the whole system of building through fractions of percentages from bonuses that have nothing to do with the enhancements that grant them. Getting defence from attacks? Getting damage boosting from defences? It's like the worst aspects of look without any of the upsides.

Mind you, not that I'll find a game without this, because Lord knows we can't have that. There's never enough depth unless the game wastes my time with aimless busywork. But at least I know what I WON'T be messing with for the remaining time.

Making a character with a perfect costume, then getting to level 20 and realizing that the cape will clip with her hair.

Setting my difficulty to be right at the level where my character will have a tooth-and-nails struggle to get through every normal spawn, then running into a mission with five spots where I'll have to either pull or fight two spawns at once. Or which has an objective that spawns three times the normal amount of bosses.

Being on the hunt mission section of a Numina TF right as a zone invasion starts and getting hung up waiting for it to finish for 10 minutes.

Those people who used to spam me with blind SG invites and comments of, "Oh, you're level 40 and you don't have a SG yet! How sad. "

Arguments over whether or not there were any good names left. Both sides always annoyed me. Half the time it was, "This game is terrible unless I can name my character Ultimate Man!" vs. "Just make more unique character names, like I do! Like, my character is named Hvrkksnorzn, it means 'ultimate man' in the Strzyl-Bromars dialect of Hrspki, which is only spoken by 300 people in Serbia!"

Oh, I agree - especially since (unlike many players, including some I know) I've held out against switching over to IOs as soon as one can, with the result that every five levels, it's off to the store again to turn the yellow and red numbers green once more. I won't miss that, really. And I've gotten pretty good at clicking out of the "combine" screen so I don't have to watch that animation over and over. But it's something slightly different to reflect that I may not see it again, ever, unless I go out of my way to. (Or record it. :/ )

Tiresome though it was, it was still one of those little rituals of City life.

For me, it's "most of Paragon City itself," pretty much everything other than AP, KR, Faultline, and RWZ. I love most of the Rogue Isles, and all of Praetoria, but the older parts of Paragon City look like a Playskool model to me. And in particular, I absolutely will not miss Skyway City - I frankly thought it looked better after the Sky Raiders trashed it.

Oh, closely related to that: I also won't miss the same seven basic tilesets (office, warehouse, wet cave, dry cave, Oranbega, council cave, tech lab) over and over and over again until my eyes bleed. As much as it blew me away the first time I saw them, back in 2005, it's especially okay with me if I never see that purple wet cave backdrop or that blue tech lab backdrop ever again.

There were things I didn't care for such as:

• Rooting.
• Too many VFX causing systems to chug.
• Various UI issues
• Most Shadow Shard TF's.

One thing I won't miss- all the freaking -fly that just about everything had in it. Fly got penalized so much it was stupid.
