Sadly... this game never recovered from all those ED-era nerfs. The writing has been on the wall for CoH for a long time. I'm impressed they lasted as long as they did. With CO on life support and my general distaste for the DCU... I guess I'm off to The Secret World. At least there I only need to invest in 1 toon and I can get all the powers in the game. If they end up canceling the game, I won't have invested years taking 30 toons to the level cap, IOing them out, etc.

ED allowed the game to grow up and made Inventions possible.

If by "grow up" you mean "triggered a slow, steady decline that made the game's shut down seem a question of 'when', not 'if'", I'd say that's arguable, but would probably agree.|

Nerfing hammios is what made IOs possible. That's why I said "ED era" rather than just plain old ED. Hammio nerfs, AoE hold nerfs, pet nerfs, and ED all happened back-to-back of each other. Then CoV was released, which gave a short-lived bump in subs followed by a steady decline that never ended.

Nerfing Hamios was only a recent 'fix'. ED was a necessary evil. All those nerfs mentioned were a product of our favorite Dev Jack 'Statesman' Emmert. |

Invention Origin Enhancements allowed characters to actually EXCEED what pre-ED characters could do.
Pre-ED: Characters with perma hasten = 70% global recharge. Perma godmode (unstop/elude) still had the crash to deal with.
After IOs: Characters with perma hasten = 170%ish global recharge. Perma godmode = soft capped defense meaning no crash needed.
If ED had been introduced along with IOs, the game would never had had that dip.
As for your assumption that the game has been declining since ED happened: 2005, then you are wrong. While CoH did take a pretty big hit when ED happened, understandably so, it did start to grow after a while. There is no denying that, even with the switch to free to play, the game has been increasing in both players and income.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
