Mids' Hero/Villain Designer for I18

This will be my last release as a member of Titan and the lead dev for Mids'. Due to personal reasons, I have decided to leave Titan Network. It has been a great honor to work on this project for the last year, and to provide such a valuable tool to the community. I love working on this project, and hate that I have to let it go. I just hope that whoever takes over the reigns can live up to the reputation that the community has come to expect from Mids' Hero/Villain Designer. I want to thank everyone for the kind words and support you have given me over the course of the year. It means a lot to me.

Now, enough about that. Now on to the part everyone is waiting for. As my going away present to the community, I decided to release this version a little early so everyone can get a jump on the big launch on Tuesday.

Thanks everyone for one hell of a ride. See you all in game!!!


Mids' Hero/Villain Designer v1.803


Mids’ Hero/Villain Designer 1.8 DB v18.01245 – August 2010

Game Build
Power database in line with game build 1850.201007290124.4 (Issue 18)

Changes & Updates:

• Added Kinetic Melee to Brute, Scrapper, and Stalker Primary, as well as Tanker Secondary

• Added Electric Control to Controller and Dominator Primary

• Added new APP (Ancillary Power Pool) and PPP (Patron Power Pool) powers to all ATs

• All stealth powers that have a suppressable defense value now display correctly in the View Totals window. The powers now display "In Combat" values

• Fixed issue with Ninja Run replacing Kheldian's first inherent power. This fix causes Ninja Run to be unavailable Kheldians

• Removed the powers obtained by Dual Pistols > Swap Ammo from displaying in the inherent powers section. These powers will no longer display anywhere in Mids' (see "Known Issues for reasoning behind removing these powers"

• Fixed bug causing Mastermind Patron Powers to unlock incorrectly

• Mastermind > Mace Mastery > Power Boost is now a click power

• All power changes introduced with I18

• Due to the way the following powers were designed, the powers obtained by Dual Pistols > Swap Ammo, do not apply any effects to Dual Pistol powers.

• While in "Level-Up" mode, users are unable to place slots. In order to place slots, switch to "Dynamic" mode, place slots, then switch back to "Level-Up" mode

• Diminishing Returns for PvP mode have not yet been added, all buffs currently show their full, unmodified values.

• The Power Graphs for the current build do not display effects for pseudo-pet powers like Ice Storm. This does not affect the Powerset Comparison, which is now fully aware of pseudo-pets.

• 60 Month Vet reward button not added. This means taking a Tier 3 travel pool power at level 6 or higher is automatic for everyone. You need to know whether or not you are eligible for this reward or you must take your travel power at level 14 or higher.

WOW Thnx man and you will be missed Hope what life holds for you now is great and awesome for you 8)

Sorry to hear about you leaving the Mids team, you've done fantastic work and your contributions will be missed.

Thanks for the Mids update, awesome stuff

Thanks for all the work you've put into MIDs, Stoney. In fact, this goes to all those whom have worked on it over the years. Lord knows how many hours I've spent using it over the years trying to make builds "just right," even if they were never realized in game.

Sweet! Thanks a lot this will be awesome.
I'm sad that you're leaving the Mids' team though, you've done us all a wonderful service with that program. I hope you're good on whatever you decide to do.

Thanks St0n3y

Good luck with what you are going through St0n3y. As someone who has probably logged more hours on the Hero Builder than in game, I sincerely thank you for the convenience you and others such as, Mid's, Fleeting Whisper, and Steiner (iirc) have given me as well as everyone else that uses Mid's.

I can't begin to estimate how long I've spent tinkering with builds in the designer.

Thank you very much for the hard work you have put into it.

Nice one.

Im not registered on the Titan Network, so i'll just post this here, but it seems that Sleet in Dominator's APP has the wrong IO sets associated with it, allowing Single Target Ranged Sets instead of, presumuably Targeted AoE.

St0n3y,

Thank you so much for doing this. You probably have no idea as to how much you've enhanced the game play for so many players such as myself.

Best and most sincerest wishes to your future endeavors.

Thanks for the update...*totally not zoning out while working on a Kin/WP scrapper build*

Edit: I did find a bug however. Mids power siphon does not give any tohit until you give it one application of attack and then it stacks. It's supposed to be one static tohit buff with a base of 7.5 that does not require you to attack.

Thanks so much for the time and effort you've put into continuing the greatness that is Mids!
And I will also thank you for the three personal friends of mine that never come to the forums, but use Mids extensively.

Much appreciated!

My hair kind of stood on end just now, and I think I got a sudden chill too. Is there more than one person working on Mids'? St0n3y, I want to thank you again for your work on the program. You probably know just how important it is to us, so I'll spare the paragraphs of explaining. Thank you, thank you a countless amount for your contribution to Mids' Hero/Villain Designer.

I don't know whether the program can support it or not, but it would be nice to see Fiery Embrace enhancing the damage numbers when toggled on.

Thank you for this release, and for all the work that's gone into it. Mid's is a great boon to the community, and I always enjoy updating to tinker with more powers and ideas.

All looks good so far, though I have noticed that Power Siphon from KM for Scrappers isn't displaying the boosted damage numbers (but it is for To Hit)

Thanks for a job well done on Mids St0n3y.
Hope you now will enjoy the game, relax, take some time off for personal things. Wish you well and thank you for the issue 18 Mids.
Yes, I do not know how many hours I've been using the program to make builds, on chars yet created.

Woo, thanks for the early release St0n3y!

Very sad to see you go. I find Mids almost as important as CoH itself. I feel lost without at least a partially planned build for any new character, and have it open when ever I play the game. Hopefully the personal reasons aren't anything major, but enjoy all the free time you'll no doubt get back.

St0n3y,

Thanks for everything you've done.

For all those countless hours I spend making the "perfect" build, the times when I open the database and discover new things about powers I have never known before, and for the times when I was just bored and ended up messing around in Mid's.

Thank you St0n3y.

Thanks for all the exemplary work St0n3y, and for this shiny early release of the new Mids version! Sorry to see you leave the Mids team, but I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go, eh?
