Defenders and Tankers are obsolete ATs. There's no real point to them now. Everything they can do, a Corruptor and Brute can do just as well while pumping out more damage. Best to just get rid of them so new players don't wind up making them, only to play them and become bitterly disappointed that their Corruptor and Brute cohorts do more damage and are just as survivable.

For current Defenders and Tankers, issue a one time AT and power set respec token and force them to use it when they next log on.

Like I tell anyone that considers rolling a Tanker... "Make a Brute. They're like Tankers... but fun!"

I'm a big fan of your costume design for Erudin.

No, really, I did. A few weeks ago, I told some of the people closer to me that I was quitting, sent my feedback quietly to a red name, and even reevaluated my budget now that this $15 a month as freed up. One of the last things said red name told me was "I hope that you find something in a future Issue that can bring you back." I politely told them something akin to "Ya right" and resumed closing up shop.

Then I read the Issue 19 notes in detail on I19's launch day.

"Character switching without logging out? Cool, now I can mix up my play styles in one sitting more easily. Nifty, if I were staying."

"Power Animations? Well, Marcian, the only reason you didn't pick supernatural powers was because it bothered you that all characters used the same animations. So, that opens up whole new power sets for you."

"Incarnates... so now my level 50 is relevant again. Wait, and the story makes him stronger than Statesman or Recluse!?"

"Praetoria got fleshed out some more!? Didn't I just vent that there was no auto mission generator? Did they read my mind!? You said you'd only use Seers for good!"


In all seriousness, Issue 19 handily takes care of the vast majority of the reasons I'm quitting. I knew the update was coming for a while. There's a difference, however, between hearing something will be happening soon and actually logging on and having said options laid out before you.

I tried to leave, but they keep me in. Again and again. I can only imagine that I20, in all its shrouded secrecy, is going to crabshell us with some incredible other feature that keeps me in the game.

Good job, Red Names. You all collaborate on a fine project.
LFT?
