To my favorite gaming forum ever...

I'll be logged in as Claws when the servers go dark.

Thanks for helping me grow from a clueless noob to one of the Scrapper Build Gurus.

Still can't believe I actually reached that status. I wasn't really trying to. Just over time I started seeing questions that I knew the answers to. And then I started seeing more and more questions that I knew the answers to. And then people started soliciting MY opinion on things.

I have to give special thanks to Bill Z and Werner, many others contributed, but those two guys took me under their wing and taught me how to go from randomly slaughtering things to deliberately slaughtering things.

I give thanks to any and all participants in this section of the forums who taught me something, or asked a question that made me realize I already knew it.

Salute!

Thanks to everyone for the absolute best sub-forum in any game I've ever played. Will miss this game, and this community, very much.

Farewell...

Am I the only one who will have as much trouble uninstalling Mid's as I will the game itself?

I'm not going to have any more trouble doing either of those things than I will cutting off my foot when I don't do it. The client is getting mothballed on an SSD, and Mids'... I think I'll run it once a year, on the last day of the second to last month, with a good-size stein or wineglass or mug...

You mean they aren't updating Mids to I24? Heck 99% of the builds ever made with Mids never saw the light of day in-game, what difference will it make now? They should just keep releasing versions like they come from a parallel dimension or something.

Heh... I'd love to see that happen! It would be rather fun to check for the new Mids update every 6 months and update the builds for my energy/energy blast and my dark melee / invulnerability scrapper.

Now there would be a hook to present to NCSoft. This game is so popular and loved by those that play that we plan on making builds for characters even after the lights go out. Might as well keep them on (yes, this is me grasping at straws).


11 months of all-nighters, messy feeding sessions, bath fighting and realizing just how good my son's lungs work, and I am still convinced he is the crowning accomplishment in my life. What in the blue HFIL is wrong with me?

I expect I'll keep making Mids builds and spreadsheet calculations for months after this game is closed, just like I did during each of my CoH breaks.

Come to think of it, it probably wouldn't be too hard to make a mockup program simulating (1vs1) AV fights.

I'm gonna name my future pets after the guys here who helped me get to the level I reached on my namesake.
Werner, Billz, Nihili, Iggy, and especially that jerk Umbral :[

God I'm going to miss all of you guys.

Mids could be used as a great tool to make Table Top RPG characters!

I will miss all of you.

It depends on the level of accuracy you want and how much you want to support every single possible power and invention, including procs. Something like a couple hundred to a couple thousand hours.

It would not be difficult, it would just be enormously time-consuming to add full support for all the different powers and inventions and mechanics. Part of the problem is that Mids doesn't fully represent everything properly to do that, so a Mids build would have to be converted to a more attribmod-accurate representation, which then a more generic engine could process without having to make a lot of special exceptions.
