Getting back into the swing of things (CoH)

[Foxboy]

So a few of you may have noticed that I'm trying to get back into CoH.
And aside from having to rebuild my bind files for Clank Patrol from vague memories and distant hopes, I need to improve my gameplay experience. This might just be having to work the rust off my skills.

What things have made the game better for you?

I already have videot maps. 
Do people hang out on the official Discord server? or a different one?

Thanks in advance for all the help, and the several million inf people have already tossed my way.

I'll pop up my bind files for Nogi and you can reverse-engineer from them:

-- Edit: I found I have a basic bots bind set I never used, you will need several plain .txt files, I put mine in C:\covbinds -- to use these, create the text files in your binds folder, edit to taste and use the slashcommand "/bindloadfile C:\*yourpathhere*\bots.txt

BOTS.TXT

Code:

numpad0 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\all.txt
numpad1 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\drones.txt
numpad2 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\protector.txt
numpad3 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\assault.txt

ALL.TXT

Code:

numpad4 petcom_all Aggressive
numpad5 petcom_all Defensive
numpad6 petcom_all Passive
numpad7 petcom_all Attack
numpad8 petcom_all Follow
numpad9 petcom_all Goto
lctrl+decimal petcom_all Dismiss

DRONES.TXT (similar for Protector and Assault, Put something unique from the power's name for "Battle")

Code:

numpad4 petcom_pow Battle Aggressive
numpad5 petcom_pow Battle Defensive
numpad6 petcom_pow Battle Passive
numpad7 petcom_pow Battle Attack
numpad8 petcom_pow Battle Follow
numpad9 petcom_pow Battle Goto
lctrl+decimal petcom_pow Battle Dismiss

For Nogi, since I created individual files per pet name, her basic bid is:
NINJAS.TXT

Code:

numpad0 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\all.txt
numpad1 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\genin.txt
numpad2 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\jounin.txt
numpad3 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\oni.txt
divide bind_load_file c:\covbinds\shima.txt
multiply bind_load_file c:\covbinds\uzumaki.txt
subtract bind_load_file c:\covbinds\hebi.txt
add bind_load_file c:\covbinds\kuroi.txt
numpadenter bind_load_file c:\covbinds\akai.txt

And the individual names are only necessary for the Tier 1 and 2 minions, they all follow this pattern:

HEBI.TXT

Code:

numpad4 petcom_name Hebi Aggressive
numpad5 petcom_name Hebi Defensive
numpad6 petcom_name Hebi Passive
numpad7 petcom_name Hebi Attack
numpad8 petcom_name Hebi Follow
numpad9 petcom_name Hebi Goto
lctrl+decimal petcom_name Hebi Dismiss
