Banking Power Slots
Mids.
Far as I know, messing with power slots at all causes the game to do some funky ****. As much as I would sometimes wish I could have 2 "banked" slots at 50, mids has helped me with some pretty creative slotting. It's actually easier now that epics open up at 35...
Yes Mids is your friend. I use mids for every character to make sure I don't run into a slotting problem. Mids is also like a game to me... Some days/nights I will sit down and just do 4-5-6 random builds to see how good I can make them.

Given how attempting to do something as seemingly innocuous as adding three additional enhancement slots at various points in the level progression caused all sorts of major issues, being able to do something like "bank" a power slot would likely require a complete rewrite of the level progression system. It's a nice idea, but unfeasible to the point of pretty much being impossible.
After another painfully long respec where I realized I can't slot my high level powers the way I want no matter what order I choose them in, I started thinking:
"I would pay to be able to bank a slot or 2 (put the slots aside so they can be used at a higher level)." This is especially true for you level 40+ powers where there just aren't enough slots to go around particularly for your level 49 power. Being able to move a slot to higher level powers isn't unbalancing, mainly it is for set bonus purposes or such. But it would be very nice not to have to worry about which powers you can put how many slots in after you've hit 50. Don't know if others run into this too but this isn't the first time for me. |

To clarify: One of the issues they ran into was people were having things like purple enhancements outright deleted.

They tried to add more slots at an earlier level, and it borked all kinds of stuff, so they scrapped the idea (for now at least)
Being able to bakn slots would have at LEAST as much potential for disaster.

I really wish the mids team would crank out something for mobile devices. Would love to tweak or create a build on the go without loading up my laptop. And that is if I have a powersource for it.

Playing the mids game has been enough to get me to resub more than once.
Last I heard they were working on remaking the entire thing in HTML5.
