Now I was thinking about the old stories at work and suddenly it turned to thoughts of the TF's, Signature stories, and what have you. Now most stories have been whoppers others duds. Now what stood out where the ones that reflected into the game world in general or helped the CoH. story line and I wanted to know, what are your "top 3 (close to) world ending stories" that make you look back and say "That was awesome"!! And they can be anything from a solo story to a full fledged arc with friends or random strangers.

Mine are:

3) The Ritki invasion. Now this is a story that to me was a turning point in which both hero and villain can agree on that should be stopped at all cost. Most of my characters were of military, law enforcement, or vigilante and it fit well with their backstory and when I created a new character it introduced them into a world where the enemy was not your run of the mill invader.

2) Signature story arc: Who will die?: This was to me something that was engaging where the writer made it about me as the central part of the story. In it the villain said my name and how he plotted to have me killed( for whatever reason I do not remember why?), each moment I felt excited for the next part of the story and could not wait until next one. And the final battle was to me mind you was total awesome sauce, where I got to join up with the U.S. Naval fleet in order to stop Wade, sad how all hands were lost :(. But I got even when I got to go to the moon and defeated Wade and the Earth in the background was really cool. But the icing on the cake was where the reporters interviewed me and got parade salute. Definitely one for the ages.

1) Dark Astoria: Incarnate trial and remodel. What can be said? The place was creepy. But I am getting ahead of myself. The opening story started you out in what was like a CSI episode investigating a murder only to turn out to be a supernatural trip to Mot's new world. The introduction of the Knives of Vengeance fit in with my Angel character, doing all the missions and then going over to a TF to finish off the arc was very satisfying. Well done and one that did pull me in and had me screaming at the game because my Archangel(tank) vs The Sentinel of Mot(AV) we fought to a standstill. He damage me, I absorb the damage, I hit him and since he is an AV, he is healing as fast as I hit him. Had to call in friends to help take him down finally after 10 minutes to bashing each other and getting no results. What was also cool both stories( 1&2) mentioned other cities during the crisis and it created a sense of urgency to save the world from Mot who looked like a giant Zerg Hydralisk and Diablolique who got DD's attached to her TF(puns lool).

So there you have it, my picks with a runner up:

Incarnate trials themselves.

Except for Keyes Island Reactor Trial and the TPN Campus Trial. I hate them both with a passion and go back to the hell that spawned you.

So what was your favorite story, arc, trial or TF that made you think back at them occasionally and make you smile on how awesome they were?
