thanks! i have tier 2 alpha done already, so on my way there and most of the way through the next 2 being unlocked, but im not in a rush for sure. i have avoided lab so far, cause i wasnt sure what id be getting into ,been running alts til i got more infos. but the tips on trials and lab are useful for sure, so i can get back on him and run stuff. thanks again folks, much appreciated!

thanks for some tips. i know baf is the kind of "entry" level incarnate, but i should be ok to do any incarnate trial? as long as not the hard modes? i have mids builds for all 6 of my current guys. how good they are is debatable, but i can worry more about that later. i just didnt want to join something and then be a complete waste of space for it. (playing rad/rad defender, so how useful could also be questioned past debuffs) Thanks(?) for the link hc wiki link. ill make sure i close all 6 open tabs i have of that before clicking on that one.

So i just got my ^^^^. Im looking for a guide on....general things i should or should not be doing. I understand this is vague. Ive got my alpha slot and looked up leveling it up and such, and where that salvage comes from, so ITFs, but should i avoid some as a not tricked out level 50? should i aim for doing something specific for a while then build up to "higher ITFs"? apologies for not being exactly specific, as i dont have much knowledge besides what i can find on here for guides to things and having little luck with the googles so far.

So this is for MM because of Command of the Mastermind, but im sur ei can get a general answer for other archs, even though i currently only play blaster, defender and MM. So CotMM, i see a lot of builds that use sovereign right and expedient reinforcement over CotMM. are those just considered better or is CotMM just terrible? most still use Mark of Supremacy (or superior). is there a better choice between them? If it matters my 2 MMs are Bots/electric and merc /time. and yes yes, i realize it may depend on the rest of my build, but lets say on a general basis. on that note, are there other AOs that are just so bad they shouldnt be used? the general builds i have for my blasters and defender both use both sets, but im a little curious overall if those and others are "bad".

@Maelwys the last guide you posted was easily the best one. especially with its limit on key binds, which i dont want. in depth, but not terribly long in explaining why theyre saying. but all the links have some stuff. thanks.

ive found some useful info on this thread, but is there a "guide book" post for MM? i really enjoy my bots/ele mm, but i constantly feel like im not doing things right. so id love to read someting along those lines. and i dont see a sticky post for such a thing.

i have 2 questions. 1) do i have to restart and delete my chat log for every character to update their badges? 2) is there a way to make a macro button for the bind command?

thanks @Greycat for the post. sorry you had to write it all out. i was hoping there was an existing thread, but great info. ill probly just hold out til 35 to start using the generic IOs and dig the system deeper then. slotting and mids isnt something im concerned with greatly, ive seen plenty of those things, it was the guts and bones of it that i couldnt find a good explanation for, and you provided it!

hi there! love the tracker, but am having an issue. the badge dump doesnt seem to work exactly right for me. i can use the log to get the files i get in that play through (for example i went and got all the pratorian explores and used the parser and those load in fine.) but none of the badges i got before that will go in. i used the bind macro in the help, but that doesnt seem to do anything. i just get a "no new badges were found" message. on a side note, it lists me on everlasting and wont let me change it to excelsior, where i actually am lol any help or suggestions would be awesome. thanks! EDIT: so i resolved this. i think it was cause i had an old tequila launch and the newer one, and files for the game in 2 places. so just deleted everything and reDLd the game. it DOES still insist im on everliving instead of excelsior, and wont let me edit it, but maybe i did something wrong there!

thanks for the things to look at. ill go do some info digging on those. much appreciated folks.

hi there, i played coh before it was shut down back in the day. back then i never made 50, so i never got to the endgame enhancements, but i was well aware of the DO/SO usage. playing here though, the IO system, is generally speaking understandable, find or buy the items you need to make them. getting deeper than that is where my issues come in. lets start with: is there a good guide to explaining IOs for dummies? also, as a new player, other than some extremely nice person handing me 141m inf, im obviously not swimming in it. but my questions are going to stand so i can learn for if/when i get to the point i can make more of them. its also not relevant, as im not looking for a build, but im playing a rad/rad defender. thank you for your response(s)
