Nightwatch

And of course, right after posting this I was able to log in again!

May be down again. I cannot launch the game at the moment, although unsure as it says there are people online in the game. Grateful and update.

Have edited that. meant to say REUNION. (Defiant was one of the old live servers.) To address UltraAlt's suggestion i move my Reunion alts to another server with a higher pop. I have been doing that. Of course that means I'm also losing some VERY good names as I grabbed quite a few in the early days of Homecoming on Reunion, thinking the server would be popular. The basic point remains however, what can we do in a practical sense to stem longterm population decline? Can we amalgamte servers?

Good to see hard evidence indicating no actual decline but my question is, is there any actual attempt by any groups (players or GMs) to increase populations? I would like to see that and would be happy to contribute where I can. Over the past week on REUNION, I've had exactly one team, tried to form several myself and had no luck, and missed several GMs through simple lack of interest. This is not just because of 'a bad time of day'. I've had very little luck on MOST days, including European weekends at all hours. Also is there any discussion of amalgamating low population servers to provide critical mass?

Got to say, I'm so glad I updated this conversation. Lots of food for thought in all your helpful comments. Not a computer person - and far too old now to catch that bus - so probably only understand about 30% of what's being said but it's all still helpful. Currently hoping I can identify a LIGHTWEIGHT laptop with NVIDIA and camera (for work meetings). I would continue with my Dell XPS 15 if it weren't so damn heavy!

OK. Just updating. Have been using DELL XPS 15" and CoH works fine. Only problem now is that the thing is way too heavy to lug around. Would DELL XPS 13" work OK with CoH? Much lighter but without the NVIDIA graphics. Sorry to labour this. Work is paying for this so keen not to stuff them around too much. Money not an object but need lightweight, travel friendly, good graphics, looks good for work and not too much like a gamer laptop.

Looking for advice on a good work laptop 14” that can also play COH. I only play COH; no other games. I don’t want something that looks like a gamer laptop but is solid portable work laptop with a 14” screen and camera for ZOOM meetings on which I can also play COH when I’m travelling. I like the look of the HP ENVY 14 but am not a computer guy so have no idea whether this will play COH. in terms of graphics it has : Max-Q Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti (4GB GDDR5 RAM). Intel Iris Xe HELP!

Could |I ask if you guys could paste your build here old style please? That is, listing all the powers and enhancements in full. I don't know why but after several attempts over the past year I am still unable to download mids onto my PC so can never read builds that are referenced via that. Hope you can do this. Thanks in advance.

Bumping this up. I am interested in exactly the same powersets and agree with OP - lots of Rad/Dark builds but very little on DM/Rad brutes. Grateful any contributions to this topic!

Today's gem on Reunion ... [Tell] Ice Sculptor: why no tells? [Tell] -->Ice Sculptor: search the forums for "NO TELLS PLEASE" please. [Tell] Ice Sculptor: ok fuck you CoH has a great community mostly. Then there are guys like this.

Got this one today. Guess I'm ignored by one more: [Tell] Thundercicle: no broadcast... speak directly like a polite human beaning. ignore! And apparently I'm not a "polite human beaning".

Of all the Doves, Dark is my very favourite! TYVM @Dark Dove 🙂

Neither crying nor whining. I put this topic up because it's an opportunity to explain in full why I say No Tells Please. You're right though arcane to the extent that if you don't want to follow a simple request from someone forming a GM Hunt or similar, you shouldn't try to join.
