Mids' Hero/Villain Designer v1.900

I am not sure where the issue lies. But on Shield Defense for my Brute. No matter what lvl of Training IO I place in the power Phalanx Fighting, it gives 3.75 def. Mids does not reflect this. So I am not sure if the bug is Mids or in Game.

NVM... the 3.75 is listed under effects. I see how mids has it working.

Nothing here just a PEBCAK

Every time I see this post get replies I think ooh alphas and then I am sad because they're not done yet

Do you guys have an ETA for the Alpha boosts? I'm sorry if it's been asked before, but I have a sinus infection and just typing this has felt like I was crossing the Mojave with two fistfuls of pipe cleaners stuffed in my nostrils.

Quick question that only needs a Yes/No answer really;

Are Mids' PvP numbers working as intended? Because I looked at the Mids build and the In-Game numbers from 'Combat Attribues' and the CA numbers were way, way lower than the Mids ones. Needless to say, a nasty shock to see on a fully slotted MM.
Ta much.

(and yes, Alpha's plox )

Mids' doesn't have PvP diminishing returns implemented yet.

The Alpha slot is currently in working order in the latest build, but the interface is crappy, which naturally won't be its state upon release. I think it would be reasonable to expect its release within ten days or so.

I hope you're feeling better Diellan and thanks for the work you're putting into this.
(See, I'm trying to be patient.)

Awesome, great news!

Nice news on the Alpha Slot For Mids coming.

And I don't expect I19.5 to be Live until mid-February at the earliest. We've still got Double XP 4 Day Weekend coming next week, and the Winter Event is still going until the 31st (I thought it was said once that they couldn't have 2 events running at the same time? I guess things have changed. Yay, progress! ), and AFAIK, I19.5 isn't on the Training Room for Beta Testing yet.

And we also have the Spring Fling coming up.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Good news is good news. Thanks for the update on the alpha slot.

Tell that to all the people who use it. :P

I was gonna say... We use the DB editor pretty regularly. It works quite well... It's just that it's very easy to break the DB.

Adding a new power is really, really easy, though.

If the DB editor is actually working properly, then could I possibly get some tips on correctly using it? All I know is that whenever I try to use the editor to play with proliferation possibilities, it breaks, and sometimes takes weird pieces of the database down with it.

It doesn't let me create new powersets properly; it always tells me the name is invalid and the powerset shows up in the database list with no name. And when I copy over powers from the source powerset, any builds I make with the new powerset, upon being saved and reloaded, have weird issues where various powers are replaced by others, which I can't remove. In addition, copied powers seem to retain the modifiers of their old AT, and I can't seem to change that. Finally, there seems to be a small random chance that, somewhere along the way, all set bonuses get bizarrely randomized (i.e. the set bonuses for Multistrike becoming 20% perception, 5% energy resistance, mag 4 knockback protection, 8% flyspeed, and 5% lethal defense). This happens despite never going into the enhancement/set portion of the editor, and whether it happens or not seems to be completely random and not linked as far as I can tell to me doing anything in particular.

I am generally following the steps outlined quite a while back in this post:

When I do these, I do generally get a usable set out in the end, but only until i save, quit, and reload, at which point the powers are scrambled (along with the occasional set bonus issues). What is wrong with those steps, and what should I be doing instead?
