See this kills me why didnt he put that in his original notes. Not that by any means does this make me less angry at how the devs have handled this whole situation, but it would have soften the blow a tad bit.

Because this entire situation is one huge stupid PR mistake that goes to show that our beloved devs are no longer as connected to the player base as they like to pretend they are.
I am not a ranter, and being more of an RPer than a powergamer the changes don't mean that much to me.
What bothers me is the complete kludge the Cryptic crew have made of this entire situation. We most likely were never meant to get an endurance reduction, but I have to approach that tentatively because I absolutely, positively do not have any insider information or any relationship with the devs that doesn't take at least six steps through Kevin Bacon to get to.
What still bothers me is that they are doing stop-gap measures in order to cover up for a complete and total PR screw-up. Nothing in the release states that this was to be a test. In fact, it specifically states that these changes ARE going to happen, period. Then our beloved CuppaJo comes on to tell us, no, this isn't going to happen, its supposed to be put on Test first.
Please.
I don't know WHO's neck you have your fingers on, but I can assure you that the neck you're checking the pulse for isn't the neck of the player base.
That neck is caught up tightly in this noose you've made and then try to tell us because you're giving us sugar the choking shouldn't be so bad...
