Thank you for giving all of us a place to play CoH again. It has been far too long and I am basically having to relearn the game again. I have spent many hours in the last two weeks (Thanks COVID) playing and reading the guides. I have brought a couple of friends into the game that are genuine newbies. I have read dozens of VERY helpful character guides, and various other guides to help one manage this game and have fun. The community is great. Thank you all for the time it takes to compile and contribute all of that data. It really is extremely helpful. It's also a bit overwhelming. Some of you people have reached a level of expertise I could only dream of! 🙂 I also wanted to say to people like myself that come in and might be a bit intimidated, just have fun. It doesn't matter if you play +4/+8, or if you don't even know what that means. You play your comfort level. The whole point of playing is to have fun. There is NO GRIEFING ever on these servers. People are nice. They either help you or leave you be. The game can be as intense or as easy as you want. I am remembering why this was my all time favorite video game. Great concept, great ATs, infinite choices, great community, great story lines ect... I love how this game has literally something for everyone and doesn't force you into much of anything. It can be as complicated as you want, or you can just run radio missions forever. You can group or play solo. You can powergame or just cruise. It's just an awesome game. And thank y'all (yes, I'm from Texas and I say "y'all' in real life) for making this available to me again! ❤️

Yeah, I'm loving Stalkers for solo. I'm barely level 20 with no major enhancements and I'm playing at +1/+1

I played for a few years back in the day (10 years ago I think)... Just tried to Stakler builds for a few levels, Staff/Ninjitsu, SJ/SR. I'm in the teens with both. My question is, am I going to encounter major issues with either build as a solo toon? I am not ready to eam with anyone as I am still working on game knowledge, game mechanics, build strategies, ect... So I will be soling for a while. I am also open to ideas for a different build with the understanding that I don't have a super rich main toon to support them...

Thank you very very much. Problem solved!

That's the problem. I deleted the first character

Ok, that's the issue. I deleted the first toon I made. Also, I can't seem to find the chat handle option...

@ranster44, that would be correct, yes?

I'm new. I was looking at a thread here that mentions you can send items to yourself via email. I sent one this morning. Still doesn't show in my inbox?

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I find this version with it's upgrades and tweaks more fun than the old MMORPG. Just gottta get my wheels on and then I will be looking for some people to play with. Thanks so much for the heads up on bases. I just need a place to store my stuff. You have done a really nice job here! I am going to try bio with another build. I played this gamew for a couple of years but it has just been so long I am having to relearn it, plus there are some new sets I have never seen before. Fun times await!

I went with Katana/Willpower. I do appreciate all the help. I just need to get a character established then I can branch out.I seem to recall base building was a thing...I don't recall how one goes about acquiring a base... And where is this difficulty slider?

Thank you all! I was looking at Savagery mostly because like Bio, I have never played it. Any thoughts on that?

I played this game ages ago when it was on-line but it has been many years since I played. I'm looking for advice on a Scrapper build that is relatively newbie friendly as a starter build, with considerations to I know no one on this server and I will pretty much be playing solo until that changes. I Started a Dark/Dark but that is kinda hard to manage. Looking for something a little more user friendly.
