Hi, I just updated my MIDS to the latest release and started working on a backlog of builds. Everything was fine until I wanted to do one for my Dark/Dark controller. For some reason I get Unhandled Exception errors on both my laptop and my desktop machines. This isn't the first new build I've started with the updated version but the exception seems to get easier to get as I move forward. The first time I get this error is when I open up City of Heroes to look at the character when I had powers filled out to level 20. I got as far as 26 before MIDS crashed again. Restoring the build at level 26 consistently crashes after a second or two without doing anything. This error was indepndently reproduced on both my laptop and desktop systems. Both use Win 10, latest version. Both reinstalled the new version of MIDS at the same time, maybe 2 days ago. Desktop has 32GB of memory. Laptop more like 8GB Moe details available on request.

I and friends were attacked at the Hero base almost at the helicopter landing zone by a villain blaster. I don't mind having to fight. It's the point of a PvP zone, but I kinda thought the Hero and villain bases were intended as safe havens. The attached pic is looking south from the helicopter landing. Please disregard the name of the villain. I'm not trying to cause him trouble. I'm just using his position to show where the flaw in the hero base defense is. He was also capable of standing safely on the walkway at about the same spot. He could also strafe from the air. If these actions aren't intended, some additional defenses should be added to prevent the ones that shouldn't be allowed from happening. In farness, the villain base should be analyzed for similar weakenesses.

Anybody know why?

Even in the Old Days, you could nudge a market but not control it outside a certain point. There was a point around 2010-2011 where I resolved to crash the Alchemical Silver market as a protest to its ridiculously high price (50K-65K per unit). I build up a huge amount of the stuff by flipping it. For a while the prices I set for buy and sell seemed to be the upper and lower limits for A. Silver. Then prices started to drift and I could not hold back the tide. so did I ever have control or was it just the illusion of control? As an aside, I sold all that A. silver in a few hours one weekend, but I couldn't drive the price below 10,000 per unit. And I sold on the order of 7500 units heroside and another 5000 units villainside (the markets were not unified at the time). I figure the reason was old bids on the market from dead accounts. Coh deleted items on the market after the account was inactive for 90 days but they apparently never deleted pending transactions so these dead accounts continued to buy. These old bids were acting as a price support keeping the market from swinging downward.

Some pets just make too much distracting noise. MM Demons for one. Beast Mastery's Dire Wolf or Darkness Control's Umbral Beast never stop howling. Some people might find the endless clanking of MM Robots annoying too. It would be good if the sfx volume on these creatures automatically tapered off towards silence after repeating their sfx streams a few times. Something, anything to get a little relief.

Works! Thank you very much!

The room is there. It's just I deleted the passageway to it. 🙂

OK, yes it was stupid. I moved the base portal to a different room and, yes, deleted the doorway back to the original room. the base is functional but I can't edit it. Is there a way to restore the deleted dooryway or at least get a character into the room that allows base-editing? It's been days since this was done so there's no option for a ctrl-z rollback.

I have a character who was supposed to be minimum on all body sliders, including height. I noticed they were somehow too tall. The tailor at my super-group base dropped me right into costume editing and wouldn't let me go back and edit height. The tailor at the Vanguard base did. Tailors at the SG base should work the same as Tailors elsewhere. This is a small QOL thing to be sure. But it should also be a quick and easy fix too.

Probably been asked before. Could the Devs enable the height slider for each costume slot at the tailor's? Right now I can't change it past character creation. This might be a part of re-enabling the code that lets each costume slot be male, female or huge.

That looks right. I will see if it helps.

Hi, How can I completely uninstall CoH and Tequila? A freind is seeing some bizarre interface issues. I tried deleting the CoH folder and reinstalling but there's data somewhere outside the CoH folder that's preserving this problem. One of my friends is seeing a power bar labelled "9" on screen for every character she plays. It can be moved around, Right clicking on it does not give any options (like closing the bar). One time CoH stopped responding to the number keys and switched what power bar it thought was the "ctrl+number" key and which was the "alt+number". We've tried deleting the entire CoH folder and not just reinstalling but reinstalling the game to a different folder on the machine (original install location was "Documents" for some reason. Don't ask) but this did not correct the issue. Logging in to her account on a different machine does not show any problems. Win10 machine. What do I need to do to wipe everything CoH and tequila-related out and start over completely?

Thank you for this post. I came to the forums today specifically to ask if MM pets can proc incarnate Interface and Hybrid powers. It'd be silly if they didn't but the Devs could have decided it was too powerful for them to do it too.

Leveling up a Brute with Radiation Armor. Just got Ground Zero. Detailed info on Ground Zero missing from both Tray->Enhancements->Manage->click "Show Detailed Info"->[hover mouse over Ground Zero] and [right click] on power->Info->[Detailed Info tab]. Both only show the 400% taunt.

I was hoping for a purely client-side solution. If you have to exchange data with the server, it's not worth the effort and quality control to make it work.

For those of us with lots of alts, it might be nice for "Quit to Character Select" to return us to the same page of characters as the one the player just left. I expect this has been suggested before so just add my name to the tally.

I was able to get my Toxic Res to like 39.8% (obviously coming from more sources than just the Gladiator's Armor sets). It was all Toxic, Psi too, giving the build something like 81% psi res. The build was intended to include both Rune of Protection (Sorcery) and Unleash Potential (Force of Will). I'm not done with the concept but I'm not sure it will actually come together. I was able to make it work for an Invulnerability Brute. As an alternative, I will see how high I can build Melee, Ranged and AOE defense.

If MIDS is right, a given set bonus like [+3.75 toxic, psi resistance] can only be taken 5 times, with additional instances having no effect. Is this right? I was speccing a build for an electrical armor brute in MIDS Reborn. Electrical is bad with Negative Energy and worse with Toxic. I was stacking sets of Gladiator's Armor to deal with the toxic side (and building massive psi resistance as a side effect) The build has 6x res powers with Gladiator's Armor 4 or 5-slotted in it (Gladiator's gives +3.75% toxic, Psi resistance at 4) The 6th Gladiators set did not contribute its toxic, psi res bonus. Switching the 6th Gladiator's to 5-slotted Unbreakable Guard (which also gives +3.75% toxic, psi res at 5) didn't contribute the bonus either, so the 5x limit looks intentional. But I thought I'd ask about it to be sure.

I do not regularly use my PTW prestige temp powers once my regular powers fill in. I do use the Ghost-Slaying Axe against CoT ghosts. Also my melee characters use the Blackwand or Nemesis Staff to pull. Very rarely other times. I've played the classic game from 2005 to shutdown. I kinda felt like we got spoiled near the end there with all the temp powers and stuff we could get.

I was never happier to be wrong...

I don't *think* the procs for Miracle or Panacea would ever fire if placed in Health. Could someone remind me how that works?

I'm not here enough to agree but...yes. My 2 cents is the current system is the worst of all worlds. It's frustrating to have my damage flatline every time Rage quits. Why have Rage stack if stacking it means increasing amounts of time where the character is offensively useless? Either give me a consequence for Rage going down that I can fight under, or simply disable Rage stacking. I would miss the power fantasy of stacked Rage, but non-stacked is better in the sense of less-frustrating than what we have. Rage is insanely good just perma without being stackable. But if you're going to allow Rage to stack, let me damn well stack it. I'd like to be able to fight, even if sub-par, through the crash.

Additional update. The windows I installed was a version back from current Win 10. When I updated, I lost gamma control. I'm not sure what in the update did this however.
