Did anyone play back in the days when tanks were so overpowered they took on AVs like they were common enemies obviously this had to change when pvp was introduced and just changed in genereal but i remember how fun it was beating down on terra or others without breaking a swet.
Tell me what some of your favorite things use to be in the game that might not still be there.

Beyond the adjustments made to Defensive and offensive powers, E.D. kinda finished the Uber tank. Didn't mind as much once the invention system came along. I guess the biggest thing I miss is mystery in the game. After 3 1/2 years of playing I have played thru almost every Arc at least twice and there are few suprises left. Looking forward to the Hollows rework just to give me somewhere to go that may be fresh at lower levels. Personally I think NCSoft has done a commendable job of managing the game and the changes made make more sense after seeing what else they had planned.

back in the old days. . . .ahhhh
I remember taking my invul/axe tank and herding perez park once.
The entire park!
That was of course before enhancement diversification AKA: the nerf bat of doom. After the bomb dropped, me and my sg mates with invul tanks all discovered how to make a perma dull pain and once again we were rocking the AV's as we were . . . till they nerfed that too. lol Oh well it was fun till it lasted.

Anyways, I actually enjoyed going into the hollows back in the day. I know that they are recreating the zone, but I actually kinda liked it as it is now. It was just the kind of place that noobs would go in, and experienced players would come out of. That place would teach you (albeit the hard way sometimes) how to be stealthy and how to dodge the large groups by moving at just the right amount of space around them. You learned to look before you leaped off a ledge on the side of a mountain there. Else that burning patch of pumacite just below would burn you to a crisp usually fast.

Ah the kingly days of the fire tank, where you could run a route in TV or DA and level once an hour, or more. Throw down burn, taunt the baddies and kill 12 or more minions and LT's as a group. Those were the days. That's the whole reason I made Spica. After the nerf it took me two years to get him to 50. Now of course he's uber again as a scranker with IO's.
Who remembers the days of the Winter Lords? Not the slackers we got nowadays, but the real ones. When you'd have 100 heroes in atlas beat one down and get two levels out of one WL? I started right in the middle of that and if I'd only had a clue what I was doing then.......

Nice the winterlords if i remember correctly that was the first winter event.
I didn't realize they were chnging the hollows i'll have to check that out sometime.
Haha what about your first hamidion attempt. I remember all the work that went into figuring that out nowadays it seems a lot of people check out an online guid I've also been told it's alot easier now i haven't checked it out myself yet but what was your first reaction to seeing it?

I miss giant monsters that were worth fighting and gave real rewards.
I miss nights that were long enough to finish your Slayer badge in one night or your Banisher badge in 6 nights.
I miss the days when people wouldn't believe I could get certain badges without travel powers.
I miss the Supernatural faces, which the tailor no longer offers. I especially miss the Glowing Eyes face.
I miss the 5th Column, which you can now find only in flashback missions.
But most of all, I miss the big raids of 3 or more teams which used to gather in the middle of Everett Lake and herd Hydra for levels and levels.

I miss when you could solo an AV without having to have an Ubar build.
I miss when a single team could take down a GM with no major difficulties.
I miss when Fire/Kin was a unique, powerful build that wasn't run by everybody and their mother...

i remember the good ole days and the original winter lord event took place 2 weeks after i got the game, but lasted alot longer than it should have and as a result filled the mid 30s to low 40s with noob players who didnt have a clue.
still good though.
i remember being able to tank groups of +5s with ease as my invuln katana. and i remembe the frost fire mission being about 4 times longer with am 8 man team. i remember the invuln nerf at issue 5 and ED at issue 6.
yes let us remember

Oh yeah i remember now i was never personally a fan of it because I feel like i've accomplished something when a get a chrachter high level there may be powerleveling now but it in no way compares to the PLVing you could do back then especcially with the frost lords some low level charachter would just sit in with a team and gain xp like crazy.

I can't think of any game feature that was there, and that I am missing now. But I do miss the days when this forum had hundreds of active members discussing the game, answering questions, figuring out the mechanics. Nowadays we all know everything. There is nothing much left to talk about anymore. Even in game the community has changed. The game still has some of the best communities of any MMO, but it is not the same as it was two years ago. I do miss the good ole days.

I remember the ol winter lord events. I started playing this game right in the middle of that. Got on a WL team and leveled twice, then I leveled two more times once while I was on my way to the back alley brawler for training and while I was there I leveled a third time. The xp you got from those was just insane.
BTW sorry about the double post up above. I tried to edit and add some more of my nonsense commentary and for some reason it made a seperate post.
