What is ED?

To my understanding it is universally hated by older players and was implented early on. As a newer player, um...what is it? Still don't know most of the terms and such in the game.

Enhancement diversification.

ED linky

It stands for Enhancement Diversification. Years ago you could six slot a power with the same enhancement and get the full benefits from them. It was changed so that now you get diminishing returns, for the most part slotting a power with more than three of the same thing is a waste.

It's not universally hated either, I personally think it was one of the two best things to happen to the game. Inventions being the other.

No, but since they keep up the paragonwiki.com one and not the wikia one, you can be more sure that it hasn't been edited by people looking to be trolls, and paragonwiki.com doesn't hit you with ads.

And if you prevent them now, they won't go to it later when it's about something that has changed.

[/ QUOTE ]I did not say that THAT PAGE ON WIKIA is out of date. I said that WIKIA (as in, the CoH wiki hosted on Wikia servers) is out of date and not getting updated with any regularity.

If you look for anything new, wikia won't have it unless someone has copied it over there (yes...they do not do the work, they just copy it from us if they want the information).

Heh, either way, he got his info. He ask a question and got the right answer. I'm done. I'm not going to debate sites I use neither one anyway.

Not even remotely. A lot did hate it, many more are indifferent, and a good number actually are in favor of it.

Cherokee, the player who originally set up the wiki, TonyV, moved it to wikia when he couldn't give it the attention it needed. However wikia eventually became inundated with RMT ads as well as edits by those same RMT groups to encourage use of their services and so it was moved to the Titan Network, cleaned up and eventually they were able to reclaim the ParagonWiki URL, the original URL for the site, from wikia.

The wikia version of the wiki is a den of scum on villainy and not in a good wholesome CoV way.

[/ QUOTE ]Apparently you do, since you linked it. Linking it is using it. If you link, link to updated sources.

This.

Generally (though not always), the people who dislike a change in an MMO are people who got used to it the old way. As new people come along and don't have the chance to experience the old way, the overall feeling usually moves towards the new setup. Ask some people with less than 6 months vet how they feel about PVP to get an idea. If they've tried it, they may just surprise you and say they liked it.

I started in May of 05, less than 6 months before ED hit, and when it was announced, I rejoiced because it let me get rid of the power I needed to take to be considered a "good player" (hint: Hasten) and let me pick up powers that actually made sense for my concept!



...I forgot what experience means.

You could have done that before. You chose not to. Nothing ED did changes that fact.

Had the game launched with ED, I don't think it would have been bad, but doing such a drastic nerf after the fact still rubs me the wrong way. I'd probably be less annoyed, but folks saying that they were "forced" to play a certain way is BS. IF they chose to play for effectiveness then good, I did too, but I wish people would stop acting like they were forced.


The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
