I always knew it was here but in random places across the internets I've pointed people here many times who weren't aware that this gem was back. Love homecoming and seeing people get reacquainted with the game again.

In game that's a low tier cruiser, it was actually built before WWI so it is quite old. Unlike most players, I like playing all tiers, people describe low tiers as bar brawls and high tier matches as games of chess. actual ship wiki entry 🙂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Charleston_(C-22)

Oddly, Do still play a bit of World of Warships.

I have a DP/MC blaster that took the spiderlings, and its about the only time I notice the patron pets doing anything. Of course the play style has me being the complete centre of attention with burst of speed and reaction time, the mobs tend to ignore the spiderlings most of the time and they do tend to survive with me.

Then sure, lower it's def count a little. But it could stand a different human form build type. Switching to dwarf every 20 seconds is a pain the arse, and incredibly dangerous in mobs. Many times i've been held and its happened so fast i've died before i could make the switch and heal. I am pacing my PB through x8 council radios. by quantums I mean the mutated NPC that will 1 shot you if you have less than 90% of your max health at the time.

Warshades do much better than Peacebringers do.

Quantum Maneuvers - Let it keep the defense values all the time. This could lead to not having every build being 'perma light form'. Light Form - Could use another point or two of Mag Protection. I'm getting tired of being chain held by bosses while running light form, what is supposed to be our 'oh sh*t' power. Quantums - why are they even still a thing?

I'd be fine with just more City. That said, RTX Remix is a thing now, maybe someone out there can get all the OpenGL calls in CoH and translate them to Vulkan, then use something like Remix and give us like a UE5 visual upgrade! :D now THAT would be epic. best thing, it would be client side, so if you don't have the hardware, keep with the old build :)

Assault rifle.. still. once made an emp/ele defender, that remained the only defender I ever made. yuck.

Yeah the CPU space is looking really interesting again.

Yeah like i mentioned, lucky to have what I got. The last CPU i bought was my 4790k, so its been a number of years. had hand me downs since then. after saving a full year i was able to buy a 3080, before the price hikes, and fully expected it to be the last card I would ever buy, only to get exceptionally lucky with that competition. :) So I think with my old school pc knowledge and what I have been able to accumulate, I've knocked together an amazing rig :)

Well, bit of an update for me. We've moved, so my desk is different, and I got a free 4090 from nVidia just before christmas from their beyond fast competition (yes I am late lol). My rig currently, which I am very lucky to have because most of it is hand me down hardware from a good friend of mine. i9 10900k @ 5.5Ghz MSI Z490 ACE MEG Motherboard AORUS Waterforce X 360 (i hate gigabyte but it was free) 64Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RTX 4090 MSI gaming x Trio Corsair RM1000x with advanced cabling kit. Various 2 pcie gen 4 NVME's 2 SSD's and one HGST HDD. Monitor is an odd one, Phillips 32 inch 1440p 75hz. Yeah I know not 4k or fast, just means that 4090 is going to have an easy time of it, until I put the VR headset on 🙂 The case is an interesting story. I had a cougar case as a Christmas present 2 years ago, one that I thought would make for a nice build, but it was quite mis-represented, and having had issues with Cougar in the past, I should have learned my lesson, shame on me I guess. So when the gpu came in, I decided to rebuild the whole thing in my now 7 year old Phanteks Enthoo Pro, the original one, with 2 plastic side windows, not the glass. It's a great case and still holds up, I removed the giant 200mm fan in front and went with 2 120mm. I also removed the bottom drive bay section, I only have 1 3.5inch HDD and don't need it. My old desk (and a lot of our furniture before the move) was actually stuff I built with scrap particle board and mdf from my fathers garage. This place had quite a few flat packs that hadn't been used yet so I set myself up a neat desk.

lol I remember that one 😄

Someone has this running on the Raspberry Pi 4. I got close, I can get it to launch, but they have it zoning in, running at a good framerate too apparently.

one of my many Elite ships that routinely make it onto my desktop

Dig the triple vertical 🙂

Bit of a story for you. Not a new rig, but new for her. While even my PC is starting to show its age (though I've yet to run anything i can't max out at 60fps), my wife's machine was struggling with just about everything, which is no surprise considering it was an AMD FX-6300. It was an awful chip even new and when I had it I was constantly frustrated. That said it soon became my wife's machine as she was never a huge gamer and we really didn't have the money at the time. Earlier this year an old friend of mine told me he had an i7-3770k that he no longer used and could not get to post anymore and asked me if I wanted it. I've usually had good luck repairing most electronics so I agreed... Only what I got was a surprise. it wasn't just the chip and the motherboard, it was also 16Gb of Ripjaw ram and a thermaltake water 2.0 aio cooler. Put it on my bench with a psu and tinkered with it. turns out was a corrupted bios, apparently a known thing with these boards and thankfully, it also contained a backup bios so once that was flashed I got it running. I suggested to the missus she could upgrade her rig as the performance differences between these 2 chips were night and day, not to mention my wife's machine had started giving her crashes and blue screens fairly regularly lately, and always giving a different reason (that's always fun right). She said she would if she could get a new case for it and after a bit of digging I found a cheaper but still decent Phanteks case. I like them, I have the Phantek's Enthoo Pro (which I only found out a couple months ago Linus did a review on and liked it). And so, her entire rig got reshuffled. It's now the i7-3770k 3.5Ghz stock but turbo's to 4.15Ghz constantly. That cooler works insanely well on it. 16Gb ram, GTX980 GPU 128Gb Kingston SSD boot drive and 2 standard HDD's for storage. She plays a few VR titles on it so it gets a work out 🙂
