Thx. While I respect CoH and the good work of the DEVs in general, I cannot agree with their vision of Blasters.

Also, I would like more of us blasters to post and let Statesman know of our concerns. We are already in a tougher situation post-Update 2 because of the increased difficulty of the mobs. If Statesman indeed makes the changes that he says he in soncidering, it would really force us blasters from having any solo game.

ps: I wrote this also because my RL friend is about to start on this game. He is a casual player who does not want to spend a lot of time looking for teams when he plays. But as it stands now, the only AT I can tell him to try safely for his style is Scrappers. Blasters can solo for now, but Statesman seems bent on changing out entier class.

Statesman, I've noticed that you've been talking about making mobs tougher (although increasing their xp), and also making changes (making them weaker, I am assuming) to blaster AOEs, all because you believe that the game post 30 is too easy.

Is this the correct way to fix the issue at large? Making mobs tougher and making our AOE weaker will only make our job as blasters more tough. Some will call it challenging, but I don't see it as challenging in a fun way, rather more frustrating to gain xp. This is especially true since most of our attacks rely heavily on alpha strike. We really can't survive long term engagements. You must know this, yet you seem set on this course.

The larger issue - making the game more challenging post 30 - cannot be solved by making the same mobs that we've been fighting all this time suddenly tougher. In fact, even though I like what you did with update 2, introducing different types of mobs is only a short term solution. People will soon get bored with doing the same thing over and over again. Instead, if you want to make the game challenging, you should really focus on pvp and SG-specific issues like HQs.

ANy way, this is my 2 cents. This is not intended as a whine.. just a concern from a dedicated blaster who hopes to see the game grow into a more enjoyable form
