Power Increase doesn't really help?

Matanzas · 12-22-2011, 04:08 AM

Okay so i was excited to see that the power of the champions was going to be greatly increased, but when it was put in it seems that also abilities have had their power cost increased by the same amout as the power was. So basicly what was probably intended to help people do the dungeons easier just made it so that you have to wait longer for your power to regen...

I have stopped doing dungeons since the patch. They are less fun than they were. The patch has been a backwards step for me.

Ditto. I've put DYOD on the backburner.

Are you still having these issues after the downtime this morning? Avatar ability costs were reduced, and the mana pool sizes were set back down. You should be able to use your abilities (Roughly) twice as often now.

If this is true it is absolutely priceless and once again clearly demonstrates ... bah what's the use, it isn't like it is going to change anything.

Could have possibly put them one step closer to the goal, so they can say we gave this to you, but no one uses it.

I also heard that the rewards were reduced when you used your own character instead of an avatar, anyone confirm that?

Everything is on "test" , and I've heard this too.

I've had too much trouble with the test servers, but I'll see what I can do/find out ...

My power supply seems to be taking me a lot farther now, thank you.
