This Boss thing is seriously becoming a major pain. I played my L34 Blaster on a mission. No warning about a Boss, was to find 3 Blinkies, and the enemy was suggested as being DE.

Lo and behold...CoT was also in the mission...guess what so was a CoT boss. Knowing that most of the CoT Boss were controlers..I poped two mental deffense, two normal deffense, one ACC, poped my Aim and Buildup..and went to work. Lost big time. Got the Boss down to 1/4 and ran out of healing inspers. The boss had no problems putting me to sleep and on hold even with the added deffeses.

Talk has been that the Boss were gonna be rolled back, but that was weeks ago. Nothing yet and my Blaster is constantly dieing even though I prepare myself for a one on one fight with an Orange con Boss.

A Blasters best deffense is a outstanding offense..but with the upgrade to these Boss class mobs..you've made a solo blaster moot. I use to enjoy playing my Blaster, I use to die all the time in team play with him, that's why I started soloing. Now even thinking of playing him makes me so frustrated it's no longer funny.

I don't understand what there is to test on a roll back. We already know what's gonna be the result. If you are wondering about the difficulty slider and the effects on missions and Boss...then I wish you would do the roll back and continue to test whatever else you need to.

I played a online game for over 5 yrs that REQUIRED team play. The attraction to CoH was that I was able to do my own thing and IF I so desired... have access to team play. IF you're gonna be like all the other online games, then why the heck should I give up one that I've played for an extreamly LONG time to come to one to start all over?

Please, do the roll back and continue your testing on the slider or whatever you guys are testing, and let the game become enjoyable again for the ones that have chosen to solo.

I tried to do a mission solo as a L33 Blaster. It was actually a set of chain missions about the Council Robots.

There was a Boss on everyone of the 3 missions. Boss had one other Bot to support it in every mission. First two Bosses coned orange and the third Boss coned RED.

Each of the first two Bosses killed me twice before I could drop them. Thanks to Awaken and Rest. The last Boss killed me 3 times and I never got it down below half.

The Bosses were killing me in two shots. After the first shot I was reduced to using influnence to keep myself up and it went down hill from there. Their Range attacks were hitting me as hard as their melee..so it didn't matter if I tried to keep the distance. Their attacks cycled as fast if not faster then mine. Even Nova enhanced with 2 ACC, 2 Dam SOs and Aim and Build UP, and TWO Damage influence failed to even reduce the Boss down to half.

After all those deaths I logged in total dispair and disgust and over 60K of debt.

Like a previous poster, I also am an adult and was attracked to your game because it was different. But mainly cause it allowed me to log on for 1 hour and feel I had accomplished something. If I wanted to be in a team, I had that option. But now with the missions that generate a Boss or two...it's no longer an option. If I wanted to continue the story I had to now waste part of that hour Broadcasting and Spaming looking for ppl that might want to help me out.

A Blaster's defense is a hard hitting offense, but when they come across a Boss they are just meat to be eaten by that Boss, for they now can't even take down a Boss of the same lvl or even one lvl less.

Don't FORCE ppl to do what they don't want. Ppl came to this game because of the difference from all the other games out there. I don't have to have 6 hours available to have a chance to get something done. And since this game is mainly about combat..looking for a team to fight a mission is one thing..but it gets old with nothing to do on the side as one waits.
