I see that there is a mentor program now and also a PVP Boot camp where people can sign up and learn a bit more about the workings of the game. Is there any possibility that someone will be putting together a Mids hero Planner group to help people on how to use it more effectively. I understand the basic premise of the program however I have a lot of difficulties over all with it when it comes to hands on use.

Heh. The basic functionality is made to be very much in line with the game's leveling/slotting. The real trick is that to use mids well, you need to learn at least the basics of a variety of other side systems and information.

  • Power functionality, specifically how the chosen powers behave in-game.
  • Slotting caps- schedules A,B, C and D.
  • archetype caps and modifiers, how that interplays with powers, slotting, and bonuses.
  • Inventions, basic ones
  • Invention Sets
  • Exemplaring, and its effects on enhancement values, sets, and set bonuses.
  • Franken-slotting, that is combining all available enhancements to reach various schedule caps irregardless of bonuses.
  • Set bonuses
  • How the game makes its calculations, especially tohit, accuracy,defense, and level disparity mechanics.
  • Means of procuring enhancements- some are easily gained, so builds can be realized. Other will takes FAR more effort to gain, but in mids they're in easy popup menus. Some sets only drop at certain levels. Some drop from certain tasks. There are many different 'drop pools' with various necessary circumstances. Many game currencies can be used to buy them, which also require different tasks. Besides this, market values come into play- some can be bought easily, others take a great deal of game resources.

I'm sure there are many more, but the program does sort of assume the user is familiar with the above.
