Thank you everyone for your helpful replies. -Min

So for my 50, Ive chosen the cardiac pool and have Cardiac Boost, Cardiac Radial Boost, and Card. Partial Radial Revamp. I just noticed that I wont be able to get my 4th until I also have Cardiac Partial Core Revamp, which is on the other "branch." Then I notice that you can't that until you have the one below that and so forth. So, basically you have to fill/nearly fill the entire "tree" first. Is this the case, if so, what's the point of choosing when everyone has to get the same thing? Why does CoH seem so against power customization?

Thank to all for replying. The mobs that everyone's referring to to get 'keys' I assume is the 'vandal' spawns that flash on the screen occasionally (and are marked with the red star on map)? Those are always different from the main map villains. Thats who I was defeated in order to spawn a side mission. If thats the case, I have no idea what's wrong.

So I found out from tech support that during safeguard side missions, only the player that clicks on the final object gets credit toward badges (eg, Fire Marshal, Bomb Squad etc). I also tried soloing the bank robbery but no side missions spawned. So, heroes are left with the options of: 1) depriving fellow teammates of badge credit in order to be the final one to click; or 2) play a ridiculous amount of bank missions (in themselves a time investment to get) so that all players have an equal chance to earn badge credit. Just wondering what everyone thinks...

Im sure this will be easy to answer... but how can you tell an AE mission is rogue or vigilante content? Ive tried accessing the mission menu in AE building in both hero and villain zones and cant tell. Any help is appreciated. Thanks all.
