terryclothFanboi on the COH board: "You whiners! You always complain about how bad it's going to be, and then it turns out to be just fine. For once I'd like to see someone complaining about things that actually happen instead of things that they *think* are going to happen."
Me: "Okay, let my rant about I5... [summary: It made scrappers play like blasters, it made controllers play like defenders, it forced me to cookie-cutterize all my builds to still be viable, and tanks are useless now.]"
Fanboi2: "You suk! Just 'cause the game's not on 'easy mode' anymore..."
Fanboi3: "Tanks rule! I saw a tank soloing +8 archvillains just yesterday! You don't know how to play a tank!"
Fanboi4: "You'll be fine once you respec out of that gimped build you left yourself with. [note: have not posted any of my builds] Hasten makes you less powerful anyway, getting rid of it will help you."
Urgh. x.x
I don't know whether enhancement depreciation is going to kill city of heroes for me, but really... there's no question that it's going to make things harder. And the game's hard enough. Heck, it was hard enough in I4. And making the game too hard will make me quit -- it's why I quit AC2 and EQ2 once I got to the mid levels (since both of those games used the progressively increasing difficulty as you gain levels bullshit).
And all the doom people predicted in the run-up to I-5 actually came to pass!
