Green Latern Corps
Speed Force users
Kryptonians
Gamma powered beings (a la Hulk)
Martians (be they Jonn Jonzz, or white)
Angels
and these are just off the top of my head. I'm sure you can add your own.

The point is, are all Gamma powered characters the same? How about all speed force users? Kryptonians? No they are not. Because a character is not wholly defined by his or her powers. Hell, I'd say not even mostly. The Hulk is AMAZINGLY different from Doc Samson. Parallax and Kyle Raynard are nothing alike. Zoom does things The Flash would never even consider, and vice versa. Making a character that is part of a defined group is TOTALLY part of comics. I am glad we are getting this as an option. Personally, I'm not sure why so many people are surprised. Statesman said a long time ago that the EATs are like Kryptonians. What did you think he meant by that anyway?

Anyone else read the Justice League A? story line from 2 or so years ago? Some badass dude got a mentalist to remove all memory of the Justice League of America. He then finally cracked through the badass’s defences and tried to make everyone remember again but only manage to make them remember Justice League A. Produced all sorts of neat Justice Leagues, some more closely linked then others.

Justice League Arkam
Justice League Alien
Justice League Amazon (one of the more closely connected ones)
Justice League Atlantean (again closely connected characters)
I think that might have been it but it was a really cool idea imo.

What about the bat team. I mean they bleed through each others books, you don't get much more closely knit then that and when you get down to it they are all pretty similar in what their "powers" are and what their mo is but would you say they are all carbon copies? Tim Drake is nothing like Dick Grason (One being the 3rd and 5th/current Robin and the other being the 2nd Robin).

It is my understanding, the overpowering effects of AM, leading to it's nerfdom, was not the indivdual power itself, but the overwhelming success of stacking 2, 3, or more together. Have you ever seen 4+ of these stacked on a group? Nothing short of immortal basically.

My only objection to this solution is that, well any power stacked 4 times is freaking god-like. If they don't like stacking in one power then any solution for that sould be accross the board for all stacking.

...who clearly have no grasp of even the most basic concepts of game balance and game design, no matter how loudly they may shout...

So its game balance that I spend half my time sitting around waiting for end to regen? Do you spend half your time sitting around waiting for end?

I see nothing wrong with Rad Blast and RAd Emmision END cost. It is comperable to all other sets, and identicle to their counterparts on others sets.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you are saying that defenders don't get a 25-30% end boost on their blast sets or that all secondaries cost 25-30% more end?

If you are saying that defenders don't pay more end when did that change happen? The extra end cost is in the Game Guide which means it was true at one point. If it isn't true now when did the change happen? I never saw any patch note about it. Also experience is showing that there is a higher end cost. If you are saying that there isn't a higher end cost for defenders then could you check the numbers?

If you just mean it Rad Blast is eqivalent to other defender blast power sets with the extra end cost then could you answer why it, the extra end cost, was put in?
