I've got three ROG gaming laptops, and all run CoH great. My oldest(bought in 2015) is an ROG 750, with i7 core 4700, 16 Gig RAM, 4Gig video card. I bought a ROG Strix in the summer, i7 core, 16 gig Ram, 4 Gig video card, and just recently bought another Strix so my nephew can play CoH with me too. I went with downgrade over the other strix, its an i5 core, with 8 Gig of ram, but everything else the same. I havent noticed any performance issues with the downgraded one over the higher end one for CoH. The specs for CoH are pretty light for new computers. But, in saying that, I bought my mom a desktop computer last Christmas, and it was more suited to a non-gamer. Its got Intel onboard video, and it is laggy even with settings on low. So As long as you have decent amount of RAM, and a dedicated video card, I cant see why a budget type laptop wouldnt run CoH with no issues.

My ideal Lore pets would be doppelgangers of myself. Consider it time travel...and I call a double of myself from the very recent past, and not so distant future to fight beside me for a few minutes before they return to their own time line.

When I first login to Homecoming in Atlas Park...and heard that Atlas theme music again. Brought tears to my eyes. No joke.

I’ll be playing with an all KB supergroup, so I am banking that all the other knockbacks will knock enemies back into my lightning storm ! Hmm...I guess with enough opposing knockbacks you could kinda keep enemies floundering around in a sort of stasis field. Or...knockback field...🤪

I decided on Storm/Energy Defender for now! I just love Defenders. 🙂 The buffs...the debuffs! 🙂

Thanks for the responses so far everyone. You’ve given me a lot to think about. Bots/Storm is probably out...cuz I can’t stand the sound of the Bots. Energy/Energy blaster sounds great. Ill check out Illusion/Storm. The SG is still in the planning stages, but will probably be on Torchbearer, as I’ve no characters in any other shards.

Hi all. I'm choosing a knockback character for theme reasons. I'm looking for the AT and power sets that offer the most knockback. Right now, I'm thinking Grav/Storm Controller. Anyone have any other ideas on something with more knockback? It's for a knockback themed SG. Thanks!

I use targeting macro too on these missions. But every once in awhile...it still takes 45 minutes to find the one random guy hidden behind a dumpster or something. Anything more than 20 minutes, and I just start turning the mission into a defeat all. 😞

That’s true. But I had a buddy on Live who would six slot Sprint. His reasoning...because it cut down on travel time from the hospital back to the mission. Maybe if he put those extra slots in his primary and secondary powers, especially at low level...he wouldnt have ended up rezzing at the hospital so much.

Just checked my cousins level 17 controller after he leveled up a few times. For when you want to move fast, jump high, and look cool...? 🤔

If I play converter roulette with crafting enhancements and then converting, I’ll typically make about 100 million/hour. My one toon though has made a billion inf in the last month just logging in about 5 minutes a day. She typically buys more expensive things in lower volume for just over half the going price, and resells for the full price. Some days she might buy and resell 8 or more things, other days none. She gets more bites on weekends. But it’s literally log in, collect inf, relist anything she has bought, and logout.

I always considered the basic scrapper to be a MA/SR. Just using above average training and speed to punch and kick enemies, while avoiding their counter attacks. My main, and first 50 on Live, and HC was using those power sets for that reason.

I can’t say much about your post other than the ideas expressed make it sound like a game I would never play.

My dark/dark/dark defender did. Even with my to hit debuffs, more defence never hurts. And I will never say no to more S/L resistance. With all my controls, decent base defence and resistances etc I often tank entire spawns just because I have very high survivability doing so. It’s not so noticeable at 0x8, but the extra defence and resistance means a lot more to me when the enemies are +4s.

My response... Fully slotted with FO’s. Im sure you can all guess what F and O stand for Lol

I’m 46. Not the oldest. But some days I feel like 100. Lol

My latest 50, Dark Ascentia, dark/dark/dark defender, leveled what I consider the old school way. She used no P2W powers, no double xp, no DFB, etc. She didnt even use the base tp macro. She went 1-50 entirely through story arcs. Her play time at the time she got to 50 was 140 hours over about five weeks of play time. Now I am sure you could probably knock 20 off for me being afk at times etc. But still, I’ve no doubt it was a good 120 hours to get to 50, as I mainly solo’d story arcs, or occasionally duo’d them with a friend. I had a complete blast with her. She really came into her own in the 30s and it was so much fun. I personally find I have a much keener insight into the power sets when I take a slower route to 50. Like you really find out what works and what doesn’t. And when to use what power to best effect, and against which enemies are most affected by them. Anyway, I do recommend the old school way of levelling. If nothing more for the experience of doing it. Yes, it’s slower, but some things are meant to be savoured...

I thought I was having a good week cuz someone paid 10 million for one of my stupefy enhancements...😎

I even tried spawning the window with some commands I found online. I dont remember the syntax but it was like show active pet window or something. And it didnt work. I don't know how I missed that lil Pets thing. Well, I mainly solo...so it's not like I have the team window up a lot or anything. Still....*facepalm*

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is now I finally can see the status of my Dark Servant! Man, that was so annoying before. I'd forget to resummon him, or wouldnt notice his hp was low, and he would die etc. Now I always have an Active Pet Window to view, even when I login, and haven't summoned anything yet. 😄

I aim for about 2.0/s. at a minimum. Right now my recovery is 3.33end/s and my consumption is 1.06end/s with 5 toggles running. I can generally not worry about endurance at all with these numbers. Even if things go wrong, and a battle ends up 6 mins or so, my endurance is still 50% full. I do have all the recovery procs, and the performance shifter and panacea procs however, which make a huge difference.

My dark/dark has been soloing 0x6 to 0x8 ever since around level 30 or so(she is 49 now). Twilight's Grasp is a decent heal. You have a hold, tar patch. The heal debuffs regen, and tar patch debuffs damage resistance, so it's a nice combo on harder enemies. Bunch of cones...but I love them. Fearsome Stare, drop tar patch, Tenebrous tentacles to immobilize everyone. Then spam your aoe cones while using your single target hold and attacks on the bosses. Everything is dead by the time tar patch expires. The -tohit that pretty much all the dark blast has, is basically like +def for you, so you rarely get hit. The dark pet procs a hold, and heal every onec in awhile to supplement your own. The cones do usually require some running around to position yourself, but I kind of like that its an active movement set. Anyways, just my input on the topic

That's why I always choose Male Face 2.

You and I both DD!
