The NCLauncher sucks. Turn it off when not in use.

Go here and optimize your use of the launcher.

Question is why CoH have to use launcher while I can get in other NCsoft game I play without it?

This is a new thing with the launcher. I was getting lag and rubber banding. Looked at system resources and noticed 50% of my CPU was going to the launcher; I closed it and the problem was fixed.

Possibly it was forced on them from above. But, to be honest, the old CoH Laucher had its own share of warts as well.|

Lots of people were experiencing permissions issues due to how it installed. And various other screwy behaviors when updating.

It only sucks as far as I see no practical reason for it to ever be "running in the background". Except for a huge Issue patch it never takes me more than a couple of minutes to update the game so I just let that happen when I sit down to play. After that I have the Launcher set to close as soon as the game starts. Problem effectively solved. *shrugs*

follow the guide above and you'll be fine. adding
-maxinactivefps 5
to the settings doesn't hurt either.
The problem I have is when I go to play CoH. My computer is off. So I boot up my computer, and then have enough time to go make a sandwich, do some laundry and clean out the gutters before NCLauncer is up (minor exaggeration). The old patcher, I could start up as soon as windows was logged in and start patching, even while the computer was starting up all my start up stuff (steam, pandora, other random carp).
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
