    i suppose what it comes down to is that the devs finally gave into their own failure with the enhancment system. They must have not understood the concept of power gaming and the levels people will goto to break the systems that games have.

    There are those of us that will take the tools given to us and hone them so finely that we can wield them against the toughest, most dangerous threats avalible to us and we will stretch the limits of our power as far as they will go. There is no challenge for us unless it is meant to be impossible and even then we strive to overcome.

    when faced with a broken system we ended up showing just how broken it was, just how much better our way of doing things was compared to someone who didnt strive to be the absolute strongest, fastest and most powerful. There was this grand caynon size gap between the 5/6 slotted builds comapred to the actual diverse builds the devs had envisioned everyone playing.

    So now everything is ruined in the system. Many powers have been weakened, and their potential has also been cut back with a "diversification" scheme. Its like the Devs team tried to build a family car, but came out with Turbo charged dodge viper. So what did they do when they realised they had made the car too powerful for what they had intended? Tore out the engine , replaced it with used parts from obscure manufactuers and hoped youd never find a way make the car even a shadow of its former self. That wasnt enough though, they also put in a smaller gas tank and punctured it to boot.

    You can only squeeze so much blood out of a stone before you realise its your own and then pass out.

    We infact can slot our powers to compensate what was taken away, but that doesnt diversify us, it will move us closer to being the same. We get the to all enjoy the refirbished 4 door version of a viper, rusting frame and all. Did I mention they all come in black , fit for a funeral. Heros are dead, theyve been balanced with civillians.

    Bravo we do see eye to eye almost this is a new system so it too will have that fine edge you speak of we will hit it and do it in a way the dev's still never dreamed. but their need to make us feel we have to just makes me upset:/ i am a alt'aholic for me being a power gamer is almost to a illness but still i get them optimal than blam they are broken again
    the sheer time waste bums me out lol.

    ill repeat what i said 2 posts ago 13% endurance discount is exactly the amount of endurance you used to recover pre Enhancement Diversification, stop whining and hit rest between battles.

    you chime in with this after my post so i will address it.
    if i have to stop and rest after every group of baddies/goodies
    that i kill distracts from my illusion of being a hero/villian
    same as if i could not fast forward the advertisements on a tivo'ed program. you take me out of the game to deal with the real life issue that i must stop and let my stam build up once or twice is a non issue but every time?:/
    a game is to get me away from the r/l stress not to give me

    fantasy stress ontop of what i need to get away from games are to have fun and relax hang with friends and do my part to help toward a common goal.

    just cause you are cool with it does not mean you can smack my hand and say pay attention. i want a escape from this game that is why i pay every month i will except stress from my job they pay me but when i have stress in a game i pay for it is unacceptable am i wrong? and is it for you to say?
    i think not.

    With Enhancement Diversification comes a benefit for ALL City of Heroes powers.

    Every power, across the board, is getting a 13.33% reduction in its Endurance cost.

    ok sorry but this is just a slap in the face to me before l6 i had endurance problems. Now that i6 has hit my toon is useless. i run out of endurance so fast that i eather have to run or die . 13.33% is a start but it is like putting a bandaide on a bullet wound.

    they did the discount because they knew that the end hit without 6 slot end whould be huge so was not a gift was a pre-nerf strike to keep people from dying real bad think as end is now if it was 13.33 worse we all would be outside playing hop scotch not a discount i repeat a pre-nerf adjustment!
