Why is it that the developers continuously tries to hoodwink its players with terms like "never intended" or "bug" or "left out" or "mistake"? When something is changed, pleased just come straight out, state the changes and give the reason why they were changed.

Now, with the lines: "This global change altered debuffs as well as buffs.", could you just tell us what are all the powers that were altered and not wait for players to slowly feel something is not quite right, then test and find out changes, and then even then, have developers deny it continously?

I hereby recant my "Statesman is a seven headed ogre who eats babies while hiding behind his desk" posts of last week. Hope the brother stays safe and comes home safe, and you had a good week off.

Devs, I applaud you for the changes. There are some buggy bits, which I will bug as and when I encounter them. But overall, it really makes the player feel more heroic -- doing comic book like hero things in a mission. Instead of a bully who just walks through and beats everything up.

Every AT complains they are not needed at high levels. True, but in the case of defenders, I suspect a big reason why they cannot find teams might be because of people's misconceptions of their capabilities.

Naturally, all defenders are not created equal, but your entire post demonstrates my point completely. Something such as:

I have a 49.9 Blaster. From about level 1 to level 50, I would have traded 7 Defenders for 1 Tanker in a second. Defenders made me safer, but Tankers made me safe.

1 Tank > a hypothetical 2 FF + 2 empathy + rad + dark + storm + kinetics? In the same 8 person spawn of mobs?

Whatever works for you, I guess.
