Just to make sure, PvE and PvP?
edit: and is this to be expected at I7 or a patch before then?
Okay...
Strange place to put this.
EDIT: May I ask why a painful change to entire sets of players couldn't be dealt with before it had been on live for a week?
Oh, and congrats on the Statesbaby.

Dude... you can't tell us that you didn't see everyone screaming about it when it was on test. You either didn't read the forums, you didn't listen to _Castle_ or you didn't care. And if it was becuase you weren't here (congratulations, by the way *hands cigar* ) it still doesn't matter 'cause you're the boss and the buck stops with you.
Let's not forget that it was on test for like, 6 minutes before it was jammed through to live.

seems fine to me for PvP but for PvE i would hate to have to jam in an attack that could take out over 80 hit points for just one.

I know being an irrational ranter is your schtick, but the patch that included the changes to endurance for bosses and LTs was on test for over a week, actually longer than most patches have been on test that have included far more than that patch did.

I believe he's gone on record (on these forums) as saying it would not effect PC one-shotting of NPCs. (NPC one-shotting of PCs in PvE, I'm not sure about.)
Also... "if anything occurs within a fraction of second that brings a player from 100% Hit Points down to 0" (emphasis mine). This would also seem to indicate that NPCs aren't going to benefit from this change, and can still be one-shotted.

What kind of bizarro world do you live in? Did you read my post? Your own even intimates that you yourself are under the impression that he was aware that it was the wrong move and pushed it through anyway.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, it was a move that had to be made for other reasons that unfortunately affected endurance draining heroes and villains.
But, carry on. How would you like Statesman to rectify this situation? What would be better for you than a verbal apologize? 40 lashes?

Except we weren't since Castle posted on it. He never promised an immediate fix, though, and said they were looking into it.
So please knock off the pity party. You are making the rest of us blasters look bad.

I think he was asking if they'd only put this into PvP zones or if this was going to be in both modes of gameplay. I hope the answer is the latter.
And congratulations on Mini-States!

I believe, for example, setting Bosses and LTs back to 100 endurance would be a good starter, until the 'proper' fix came down. The immediate problem was with EBs, not the Bosses and LTs that had been fine for two years up til this point.
But, hey, 40 lashes would be good too. By this point, Geko deserves it.

I'd like to add my hope that this applies to NPC attacks on players.
Why, that even sounds like a *buff* to Regen.

Heh... right... Better to ask forgiveness than ask permission, right? Know what's gonna happen? They're gonna boost end drain ever so slightly. It won't fix it to where it used to be, to where it should be, it'll just bring it back JUST a little bit so that you and the rest of the Cheering Section can point out how good they are to us.
Meanwhile, they still nerfed us.

So what are some of your ideas, oh great and wise LivingHellfire?
I'd rather they go back to the drawing board in I7 and rework the way end drain works. Get rid of the "all or nothing" of it. Make it so that any enemy can't do all of its moves with 2 end points anymore. That would instantly make end drain better than it's ever been in this game, even if we can't one shot drain those bosses anymore.

i figured the one shot code would have kicked in at 95% and above. either way the same people who complained about 1 shotting will continue to complain about 2 shotting.

That's actually one of the first things I thought of (but didn't post about it), especially with only 1% HP left.

Erm thanks for the 1 HP but yeah Inferno DoT, Ice Cold Damage, EB, the unnoficial Energy AS follow-up? No one-shotting like that is a start but hardly gonna make a difference with most situations.
