OKAY - Enough Mourning - it's time for THE BUCKET LIST
09-06-2012, 03:59 PM
It's time for all of us to start CRACKING and do what we can to do as much content as possible on what characters we have time for between now and November 30th. If I'm going to be forced to stop playing this game, I'm going to leave it with as few regrets as possible!
To that end, I want us all to tell each other - in as much detail as needed, whether it's a general statement or a point by point list, what you need the most for each character.
What content have you NOT DONE yet on your main level 50s yet?
If you don't have a level 50, do you need us to help you power them up to that point? Or do you have a character who is a recent favorite that you think is important to level up? Do you only need to level up to a certain point to do concept important content? Like say - running the Cimerora arc at lvl 35? Or help in running the Faultline arc? Or do you want to finally get Portal Jockey, Statesmans Pal, or Task Force Commander badges?
IMPORTANT NOTE: I know I'm not the only one in this situation - and maybe it will change. I was in Premium mode when the announcement hit. And I CAN'T RESUB because they've locked the accounts and the ability to even accept new money! So I'm in a real bind! I don't have access to VIP status or my incarnate abilities. I truly hope this will change and the devs will simply activate VIP status across the board for all accounts until November 30th. But if not, we'll have to plan accordingly.
That means finishing up content on the Beta server. I have moved copies of all my characters there. I can access the Signature story arcs there myself. I still don't have incarnate abilities. But fortunately Cyberman 8 and Kara Skye (my main two 50s) never depended on incarnate abilities heavily anyway. They were a very welcome edge. But I can work without them with assistance in the higher arcs. (Aside from Endurance boosts. But I'll cope)
Format isn't important. Just jot down what you need. We'll figure out a schedule or something once we've got everybody's most important stuff listed.

Magisterium on Alice. This is the big one for me. While I had Priss take Dark Astoria, Mot and Diabolque, Steph took First and Night Ward, it was Alice that I RPed as fighting against Tyrant at the Incarnate level. And yet, EVERY SINGLE TIME I try and do the Magi, it's a freaking farm. RP-wise, Magi's the big one for me.
Bob's comment about the effects of all the teleport powers on the Shadow Shard runs has me curious, but that's not a huge priority for me.

Recluse Strike Force - Yeah, this is probably mostly a function of the fact most of us are concentrated blueside. But I've never done this. I do have an IO'd brute, and my de-facto main is a Vigilante VEAT.
Underground Incarnate Trial - And, y'know, this. I haven't done this at all.
I figure most folks haven't done all the Shadow Shard TFs either, but I don't think most people WANT to do the Shadow Shard TFs. =P

Okay, here's what I'm thinking of so far for myself:
I've got about 50 characters. But the ones I really care about are all on Virtue.
Cyberman 8, Kara Skye, Lily the Diamond, and Sassinak are the ones with the highest priority to get things done for end-game content. I had been slacking off the last year or so. I regret now thinking that "there's always time to do it later".
Stuff I haven't done or finished on any character.
-- The Signature Story arcs Who Will Die and Pandora's Box. (Cyberman 8 and Kara have gone partially through WWD)
-- The Dark Astoria arcs. Again - C8 and Kara have gone partially through this. But I think the farthest I've gotten is where Ice Mistral gets swallowed. Maybe a little after that? Nevermind. VIP STATUS RESTORED!!!
-- Fortunately I've completed First Ward on Sassinak, which was my main Praetorian and the one most needing to do that content. But I'd love to RP that arc (probably have to do it on Beta) with Skyestrike and Shin with Dark Seraph.
-- I haven't even TOUCHED Nightward yet. REALLY need to do that. VIP STATUS RESTORED.
-- Mother Mayhem and Magisterium Trials. I'm not sure if - without VIP status - I can participate in those. But if I can, I'd like to give it a shot. I want to at least SEE Emporer Cole get taken down. And I want to truly understand the story and the ramifications for Praetoria. VIP STATUS RESTORED.
-- Kara has done the Underground Incarnate Trial. But Cyberman 8 has not. And If possible I definitely want Sassinak and maybe Skyestrike to do so as well. Again - this is all story driven stuff. If possible, I'd like to lead the Task Forces at least once so that I can read the mission descriptions or have them read to me! VIP STATUS RESTORED.
As for Lily the Diamond. I would like to take her back to being at least Rogue status and do some more Redside content and badges. But FIRST - I'd like to get Task Force Commander and maybe even the Atlas badge for her if possible! Is there an equivalent to Task Force Commander badge on redside? If possible I'd like to get that.
As for my other 50s, it's not as high a priority to complete everything.
Startracker Zero is a blast to play, but was really only ever a utility character to run and help others with. Lora'Lai again - mostly a helper character and her concept is more "she's the coordinator at the base" so I'm fine with her where she is.
I would like to get my Mastermind, Mechanon Prime, up to level 50. Same with my Stalker, Caerula Sanguis. They are level 44 and 42 respectively.
I would like to finish out the 1-20 arcs in Praetoria for Shockwave Alberto and Phoenyx Flame. But I can do that solo. (But if anyone has that content too, and wants to run it, let me know)
And... that's all I can think of right now. I'll add more if I think of it. For the rest of my characters there's some miscellaneous stuff I'd like to do. But if I don't get to it, it's not as important. I won't have regrets.
Edit: VIP status has been restored with the use of a code from a Retail box from Amazon! WOOHOO!!!

Hmmm.
Dark Astoria I haven't done on any of my toons yet, altho I poked at it a bit with another group. I'd like to do that arc.
And I haven't done, well, -any- of the Incarnate stuff, aside from opening up access on Misao.

Hmmm, I really should get Shadow Cyclops(lv45 w/lv~1 of debt) & BU-33CTP(lv35?) up to lv50 and there's some TF's I should do. I do have a major thing I attempted to do each time I was online - get all the Giant Monster badges - and the accolades which unlocked cool stuff.

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad that this whole mess happened when I was taking a break from CoH.
The only stuff I'm really feeling the urge to complete is night ward stuff.
But I would totally be down with a RSF and an Undgerground Trial.

I haven't done the Pandora's Box arc yet on anyone, and I can't remember if I've done the Underground Trial, either... I want to hit 1000 badges for Evangelia, though -- she's only 14 or so short; the Titan utility has pointed out some "low-hanging fruit" I need to do with her to get some: she doesn't have the Abyss explore badges, nor most of the Safeguard explore badges either, and there's one she can get by helping on a morality mission of a different alignment than hers which I want to get...

I'm having a lot of fun with my water blaster, so I'm going to try and get as much on her as possible.

Totally want to finish unlocking Garavornette;s Hybrid, she's still like 22% short. Past that, get Hawsepipe through every darn bit of content I can between now and the end. As I've said before, ad infitium, I bought and used those points just before the axe fell, prolly not gettting a refund on them. So darn well gonna squeese every last bit of play I can out of it between now and the end.

Worst case Atl, you should be able to do Night Ward on Beta. It can be unlocked in the store for 0 points there. Not perfect, I know, but it's something.
That, or contact support and see if they can do anything.

Seriously. WHAT. THE. FUCK?
Nothing I want to do I can, since the only things I'd want to do are behind the VIP wall on Flame...
There is no coincidence, only necessity....

OKay. Still going to do what I can, where I can.
One thing I would very much love to do is the SSA#1 and #2 arcs. I CAN Access those on Beta because I can unlock them with the infinite points there now.
And I really REALLY want screenshots of any characters I take through that arc in the space area at the end.
I know most of you are going to be on Live. And we had some difficulty this evening (partly through lack of people. Partly because I got distracted at a bad moment.)
So I'll make a request for anyone who can to join me on the Beta Server tomorrow sometime in the afternoon/early evening hours. Shall we say - around 4PM Central Standard Time in the U.S.? Unless you want to come and can't make it then, let me know and I can be very flexible. In fact, I'll likely be on the live servers earlier in the day before I head over to Beta, so you should be able to catch me in-game.
Does that sound do-able?
(I also plan on spending some time making a space-themed outfit for each character I take using the Sci-Fi pack for those screenshots in space.)

Non-VIPs can get onto beta?
Huh. That should make a lot of what I'd like to do more feasible - hooray for post-scarcity! Although some characters need some levels first.
Oh, and it could be a problem if I can't get the market to work. Is anyone else having trouble with it, or is it just my laptop?

The Market is... tempermental. I had to cancel out and retry several times to try.
You tried accessing the Test Server?
There are all sorts of things marked at 0 points.
Also maybe try Paragon Rewards... you have enough tokens you can upgrade to VIP status.

Quick query -- is anyone expecting, tonight, tomorrow night after 9 or 10 eastern, or on Sunday to be tipping and ending up in a morality mission for anything blue side other than Hero? Because I'd like to get in on that for the badge it gives.

I'd be happy to run some vigilante tip missions later tonight, if I see you online I'll join in on the fun.

I think now's nigh time for me to take the Golem Vig. I got 1000 badges yesterday, but I've still got all of redside to do...

Guys? It's 4PM here, but my back is KILLING ME right now. I think I pulled something. I'm on Beta with C8 and I've left him inside a mission if you need to message me. I've taken some asprin and I'm laying down for a bit. Hopefully I can magage something in the next hour or so.
Edit: Whew... the drugs have kicked in.

I think I'll probably be hanging out on Beta most of the time. Got the market to working once, so I got a fair amount of useful stuff. Of course, now I realize there's other stuff I should pick up more of, but now it's not working...
And interestingly enough, you have to be VIP to buy enhancement converters, but not to use them. So I've been able to put together some of the not-exactly-released ATOs that way. One thing I can't find though is the Overwhelming Force Knockback-converting enhancement. Anyone have one of those on live that they could copy to beta and send to me?
