Observation

[Without_Pause]

Uncommon salvage which is used for popular recipes for conversion is sitting at 3k-3.5k this morning. It has been funny to watch one recipe in a set used for conversions go for 1.3-1.5 mil and another go for upwards of 2.5 mil. My salvage bids haven't moved(100 common, 1K uncommon). I'm fairly comfortable with my recipe bids and willing to wait out slower times.

 

I currently have characters on three servers. I have one character as the main marketer. They feed themselves and the rest of the server. My main is swimming in currency and hands out 100 mil whenever I add another 100 mil. The other two have just about hit the turning point where they can start funding others. Missing out on the Synapse TF when it was the Weekly for the one character really kind of sucks. They had the levels. I didn't have the time. They need Posi 2 and just dinged 20 so they can grab Yin as well. Going to go exploring and start getting those badges and Merits. My current goal is 200 Merits/character covers a lot of characters. More so with starting to roll a number of support characters.

In big events I always reduce my "Max Particle Count" to minimums. I suppose it's easier on my graphics card, but mainly, it helps me see what the heck is going on.

True from the four-ish days in total I was playing, they were essentially meta-gaming it like it was an MSR. Where, you all stand in a circle really close, the adds die via AoE attacks so most of the time they usually are dead as soon as they enter that circle especially from the outsides. Main reason I never brought melee as its kinda pointless to get inf/level ranks on alts that don't have a cone or a AoE. They simply get killed from LoS damage before I can even tab or use the target command for.

I never really encountered that before. My laptop is three years old, but it laughs in the face of MSR.

Well to be fair, I actually play MSR on Excelsior since everyone there has the badges but I gues Everlasting is just... lazy? Idk what the deal is but on Excelsior, everyone I know there has the two badges for the Queue and it's done in half the time it takes for broadcast announcement for MSR else where so I'm on my way. IMO it's less hassle/slog on the PC than normal MSR ways.

 

Regardless Mapserver is kinda nice that it went in most locations so you weren't missing out as one came after the next. Outside of back to back Talos/Steel/Skyway.

That is surprising to hear! I'm guessing it's an integrated GPU? Mobile chip maybe? The lowest settings of the game allow for pretty much a potato to run the game these days. 

Depends on your resolution.  

 

Good monitors have ruined me.

I run at 3840x2160 with windows scaling at 100%:

 

It took a little work to get CoH to size windows and controls correctly, but it was worth it. I like how crisp everything looks. The downside is there's more load on the GPU to render at actual 4K, especially in those big events like MSR, zone events, and especially in the April 1 event, and sometimes the particle count eases that.
