I was like you on live and on returning to Homecoming. I would sell my drops and make enhancements to sell and make a little cash. Then I read a guide on how to use your merits to make influence. Short answer do every TF and SBB that shows up on the LFG channel. This allows you to group and earn influence while leveling. Use the merits to buy enhancement converters from the various merit vendors. Sell them at the consignment for 1 influence. Stop selling if they ever sell for less than 60k. That should get you enough influence for common IO's. If you do the SBBs you can use some of those converts to get the KB/KD proc for phantasm and selling. Get the normal procs in health and stamina (panacea and Performance shifter). Local_man made a guide on the OG forums. He is "Area Man" here though. https://web.archive.org/web/20120905042613/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=141225 It also has common IO slotting (which hasn't changed since ED) as well as a pre homecoming IO build. These forums are bit bias toward Ill/ice, Ill/dark, Ill/Time, and Ill/TA since ILL/RAD has been a thing since launch, while HC stats still show ILL/Rad as still leading the secondaries for illusion.

On live and Homecoming I am an altaholic. However, on live, I wanted to play a WS, so I leveled a AR/Dev blaster to 50 so I could roll one. I got him to 50 made a non purple triform perma ellipse build I made on Mids. However Arcana did a forum contest which I came in 3rd which one me a purple set (I got the last set not picked by the 1st and 2nd placed winners). I then unlocked the alpha. The only thing that could kill me was energy drain and slows (my build had very little defense since everything I had was dedicated to recharge for eclipse and nova attack chain since we only had 4 attacks then). Then the game ended before I could upgrade to a build with defense and recharge. I always liked WS more than PB since WS had less kb (only one unique KD IO existed on live). Also eclipse... I'd play a new one to 50 again but I can't find the macros I liked on live and unlike other classes you really need macros/keybinds you like to make the class playable. That is why the epic archetypes were gated to 50's. The mez>eclipse>human mire>dwarf mire> nova >raise a pet> eat the souls of the dead; just seems so complicated now a days I'd probably go human form only now. Especially when you consider the feats that Blasters can get to now.

I wanted to state this resolved the issue. Installing in NOT the default directory.

To reiterate it literally worked fine until it didn't. .net 4.8 is already installed (as I did some python and R). After multiple redownloads and uninstalled/reinstall the issue persist. I have seen a few posts where others have this issue also. Thank you for reading.

It worked perfectly. Then today It will not run with a null reference exception. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, and repaired, multiple times and still receive this error. Normal Mids still works although hardly anyone uses it. I apologize if this the wrong venue for Mids.
