I was able to do about 20 respecs last night using Sentinel's export tool. On the other hand, I do curse you for causing me high grogginess today, I stayed up much later than normal doing the respecs. Still, it was worth it as I was able to update all my "active" 50s. |

The Way of the Corruptor (Arc ID 49834): Hey villains! Do something for yourself for a change--like twisting the elements to your will. All that's standing in your way are a few secret societies...and Champions of the four elements.

The major selling point of the Sentinal is that is exports Mids builds directly from the game. Meaning you no longer have to remember what levels you picked your powers or when you got them slotted, because it's all done automatically. Thus, you can export the build, make a few small swaps, and follow the Mids layout to rebuild your character almost exactly the way he was before, with only the changes you made, such as swapping fitness out.

The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
I also want to add in a round of "Thank You" to the Titan guys for this great tool. It made Respecs much, much easier to be able to copy my existing build into Mids, then refer back to it while I did my respec build. And I have done a LOT of respecs over the last week. Almost every character I have over level 20 on two accounts.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

It is truly glorious. I did my I19 respecs in an afternoon.

They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
I also love the thing where you just login, turn on sentinel, open your toons info window ingame and sentinel magically knows every badge you've got and uploads it directly to city info tracker. It's like a glorious magical elixir brewed from concentrated genius in the form of an app.
I've actually been looking forward to respeccing my toons since I got it!

Do I need to download Hero Stats as well as Titan Sentinel? I've already updated Mids, as well. Just wondering how to automatically get my character's info into the tracker.

I only have mids and Sentinel. I tjink you don't even need mids for Sentinel to transfer to CIT.

I think with Sentinel running you have to do a /info command in CoH in order for it to capture your badge information etc?

Sentinel is excellent and there's only one thing to say:

It grabs everything else automatically.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't do the slotting order. AFAIK there is no record in game of when you placed a slot, hence all slots being active when you exemplar. If you check Mids you'll find an exported build will just show the slots, numbered in order from the first power.

I haven't had the export builds function working in mine for a couple days either. Something about "Manifest Version: Application Update Required." But there doesn't seem to be an update available yet.

Yes, I'm logged in properly to both CiT and TS. It kind of looks like TS is hung up trying to update. That's probably the issue.|

Oh well, I'll try again next week.

Not sure about that, but there was an issue if you put slots in inherent stamina or health (and who hasn't?|

) it won't export properly. To be fixed in the next release.

Correct. Sentinel will automatically assign slots to powers in sequence since that information is not stored by the game.|

A bug in 0.9.2 is preventing Inherent Fitness from actually being recorded in the build, which means that some Enhancement slots might go missing. When Sentinel tries to assign levels, it can get caught up and run out of spots to put them because the Fitness powers aren't there. This is causing a crash and will be fixed in 0.9.3.

That worked. Thanks.
