For as many changes throughout the game to gimp Burn and PLing have been excessive, but perhaps necessary. The reduction of defense on the heroes was going too far, all the while continuing to keep the villains (our opposition) at peak efficiency in the name of challenge and fun, are disappointing.

I'm very glad you see that the changes to stop PLing were indeed needed, you are the minority on these boards it seems. But if you take a look at the update, all Lt's and bosses took and acc hit, this has been proven very good for alot people that play "squishies", and now minions no longer seem like cannon fodder for the big guys and bosses fo the various gangs in Paragon, though they're still fairly dumb and easy to kill. I liked I5, but I've only been around since just after I3 and haven't been through all the changes the more seasoned heroes have. But the difference in fun is astounding, teamwork feels like teamwork, a victory is truly earned sometimes, and with the xp changes I truly am lvl faster than ever. I know that alot of awesome players are leaving and I wish them luck and their absence will surely be felt. But for those of us sticking it out, the fun has really just started, think of this a flu vaccine, you get a pin [censored] and it hurts, and for a sec you'll be a little weak, but after a few days you're better than ever. Good luck to all departing gamers and good luck to all the staying heroes.
