I'm not crazy on the rewards for not logging in.
I'm even less crazy about the idea of the double experience. I go out of my way NOT to long in on double XP weekends. I hate the idea of not earning every single iota of XP I receive (ie I hate stuff I do not earn myself. Free stuff... bleah!).
That may put me in the minority, but to me, I prefer to create my 50s by earning every bit of XP the hard way. No "express elevators" like PLing or Double XP Weekends for me.
So the idea of being handed free stuff for having not logged in... not my cup of tea.

1) Yes, outright changing powers is bad. Unfortunately, it's the only way we *could* proceed that met with the goals we had in mind, the technical limitations presented and the timeframe allowed. I hate "building cottages" but it was the only path in this circumstance...
I'm certain a complete list of the changes will be up here on the forums within an hour of Beta starting (soon!(tm)) and I'm looking forward to the feedback (positive AND negative) at that time.

Thanks for the response and clarification.
Honestly, I'm not going to get upset about the fact that you ARE making these changes, because quite honestly, I understand that your primary goal here is to make a better game.
However, I've been watching this thread closely because I am planning my future builds of which a few APP powers play a key role, and I would prefer to know sooner rather than later what the changes are going to be. Obviously you guys can only do so much at one time, but if you can share that info with us as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated.
Around here, there is nothing worse than the "speculation monster."
