Here's an example of one of my toons on Protector, currently level 20. I had a concept of a Hero that was really, really fast... but didn't have a "super-speed" power. This Hero would have a cybernetic body, which would be tough, but not "tank"-level, and have no glowing power effects , other than Quick (which looks neat) and possibly glowing attacks.

Redwood read his post and his take on this character. Pay particular attention to the bold italics part. I think the word your looking for is, read.

By the way love the avatar, I have always liked Rogue

I wanted to give you all a little heads up on something that we've had in the works since March of this year that is finally seeing the light of day soon.

Your questions and comments will help refine the patch notes so that we can make this new system as clear as possible for all players.

The above taken from the ED thread ie Positrons post to the CoV Beta boards.

I am merely pointing out to Personameta/Phantom Echo that yes indeed this change was planned to be implemented. There was no wait to test out the ramifications. There was no listening to the player base (hence the two locked threads here as well as the one over 300 pages long on CoV Beta boards).

Statesman himself said that ED wasn't a done deal at the time of I5.

If memory serves and I could be mistaken, I5 was before CoV launch and I6 was at CoV launch hmm. ED was sprung on the CoV Beta crowd two weeks before launch. So yes your right it was not a done deal at I5, but then ED was contained in I6 and Positron's plea was to look over the material and ask how best to present it for public consumption.

So I merely ask Phantom Echo/Personamophor?? to quit trying to rewrite the history and sugarcoat it. Oh and if you have that quote from Emmert I would love to see it and stand corrected.

This totally cripples my character! I thought you were done balancing the game?

All the Issue 4 and 5 balance adjustments were done with this system in place internally here at Cryptic. All playtests, QA checks, difficulty adjustments and balances have been done with Enhancement Diversification in mind since March 2005.

There was no 'might be' about it. It was planned and implemented (ED) and led to a huge explosion here on the boards. My how history gets a bit twisted with the passage of time.

As to what tweaks are in store, who knows. I have yet to play CoH for any significant time since ED. I have been playing CoV almost exclusively. There, I do not know what I have lost.

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.

Again I ask very simply, why?
