  1. Sorry to necromance this thread once again, but I wanted to reply to this since this thread still comes up on Google if you search how to install Mids on Mac. This might be answered in the Discord, but I'm not in there. The video guide is slightly out of date. You will need to change a few things, but otherwise everything else is the same: When creating a blank Wineskin wrapper, used a 64 bit Windows 11 engine. It may work with others, or it may even work with Windows 10, but I used WS11Wine64Bit9.1: When running Winetricks, you will need to add the .NET Desktop 6 .dll to your Wineskin. Please note that .NET Desktop 6 is different from .NET 6. Like so: (This is technically optional, but will prevent you from having to re-create your wrapper every time you want to run the program) After running the Mids setup executable per the video and the Wineskin menu, you will need to modify the Wineskin app's 'Windows app' field. You may see a message like "No new executables found!" after you close Mids or the Mids installer. This is because Wineskin tries to check that a program was installed into Program Files, but Mids installs into AppData. Simply do the following: a. Right click your Wineskin for Mids and click "Show Package Contents" b. Navigate into the Contents folder and run the "Wineskin.app" app. The app should be located somewhere like here: And the folder with the app you want to run should look something like this: c. Once you've run the Wineskin.app you should see this menu. Select "Advanced". d. Modify the 'Windows app' field to the following: "C:\users\Wineskin\AppData\Roaming\LoadedCamel\MidsReborn\MidsReborn.exe" Please note that this location may vary in the future, or depending on where you installed the executable to when running the Mids installer via Wine. This field needs to match wherever you've installed the MidsReborn.exe file within Wine's /drive_c/ folder. You can use the 'Browse' button next to the 'Windows app' field to locate the executable within Wine's drive_c if you have misplaced your file or the default location changes in the future. Important note: There is currently an issue with Wine where installers will sometimes have the text loaded as white or near-white text with a white background, making it very hard to read. This is a bug with Wine and doesn't have anything to do with Mids and it isn't anything anyone here could fix. When navigating the installer, just click the 'Next' button at the bottom until you reach 'Install', then click that. If you choose to launch Mids from the installer when it's completed, please don't forget to update your Wineskin's executable location per step 3. To help future proof this post somewhat, please note that you can verify which Windows OS is recommend and which .dll file is required by checking the Mids Github on their site. Please check the actual link to the .NET .dll file, as it may be called something colloquially that differs from the .dll's actual name. For instance, Mids is currently using .NET Desktop 6, but the Github says .NET 6. You can find this info on the Github at the bottom, like so: Then, whenever you make a Wineskin for Mids in the future, just select an engine that matches that Windows OS and use Winetricks to install whatever .dll is required. If anyone out there is still trying to run this via Wine, hopefully this info is helpful to you. Cheers.
  2. With the current difficulty there is a disconnect between what is intended and how the game actually plays. As it stands now, there is currently no content in the game that actually requires that the Tanker class be played whatsoever, as nothing deals enough damage. This includes enemies with specialized ways of dealing damage, such as the Hamidon. There is also no need for dedicated healing at all, such as the Pain and Empathy powersets, as nothing deals enough damage. Specifically with the SCoRE changes to Blasters, there is nothing really to stop a player from single-handedly steamrolling through all of the games content on a ranged DPS'er, as they have access now to an undue amount of survivability that eliminates any challenge to staying alive they might face. There is also very little in the way of enemies that have enough HP and damage output that actually requires a team. Both the Hamidon and Really Hard Way Tyrant are somewhat easily disposed of with merely 4 players, despite being challenges intended for very large groups of players. While certainly not everyone is going to be able to pull this off, the fact that it is even possible in terms of numbers suggests a large gap between how powerful player characters are expected to be and how powerful they currently are. In particular, the Destiny slot stands out as particularly broken as a mechanic, with the values for returns on virtually every destiny being much too high for literally every person in a team or league having them. Additionally, economic and character progression changes have trivialized access to the power ceiling for any given character. Being able to obtain normal rewards in AE, incarnate xp from all content, gaining immense rewards simply by leveling via veteran levels, and having prices cut on all very rare/end game items at both merit vendors and on the auction house reduce the effort needed to bring a character to the point where the game is trivially easy. While the item economy is preferable to what was available on live, the ability to fully equip a character with tier 3 incarnates in every slot 2 hours after freshly rolling the character via AE farming is excessive. A good difficulty change would force players to actually need to use mechanics found in other RPG style games, such as aggro management or focused targeting, while still allowing the level of build diversity that characters enjoy in CoH, without being able to fully max out your character shortly after rolling them.
