#EbonRuin wasn't "balanced", it was straight up rendered useless.
Our cupcake dev is all like, "I'll balance Ebon Ruin by removing Trauma and adding an annoying pet summon %.. Cool, now there are no ranged powers to apply Trauma."
How is that a balance? There is at least 2 melee attack powers to apply Trauma. Removing the only ranged attack that applied Trauma while keeping 2 melee powers with it is not at all a "balancing."
How did Ebon Ruin having Trauma negatively effect PvE, again? Oh, right, it was pointless in PvE and now it's bad in end-game PvE because of the dumb pet summon you stupidly replaced Trauma with.
It's nerf is straight up VINDICTIVE against PvP'ers. Removing PvP awards/breaking the queue's when On Alert pass released wasn't enough? No of course not. You've let PvPers suffer for YEARS with broken queue's, no awards, no incentive to attract new players, etc. PvP used to be the biggest incentive to go Free Form/Gold. Now you just fool PvE players into it for a short time... Just until they get all the end-game items they need then get completely bored.
Where's your justification for this?
Why is this company so hateful towards the (now very small) % of players who use to really enjoy PvP?
<<Much balance; So amaze>>
If you want to have Trauma as a ranged build you HAVE TO USE PESTILENCE PASSIVE now. WTF? Really? I can no longer use any passive I want as a free-form? Such restrictions; No amaze. Now there's people running around with unkillable Pestilence/Compassion builds. AWESOME JOB CO DEV!
Goodbye free-form build options. Goodbye forever. Lack of dev support is to blame, sadly.
It was On Alert that decided the death of Champion Online's competitive prospects and this agenda has been perpetuated by every developer since.
People only want to win battles with their lousy RP. "I'm a GOD!" says the "RP'er" who's never won a duel in their life. This is the fate of CO. It's a frustrating fate, but you guys wanted this for some reason.
Kaizerin, just disable Hero Games all-together, remove the option to Duel. I'll finally at least know to quit checking in on the state of things and wasting my time/money.
Most businesses value their paying customers, ya know! Just not THIS company.

Edit: Your reply is as toxic as it gets. Logical? Hardly. Move along peasant.
Haha. Hahahahaha.
Get off your high horse, and look in a mirror sometime.
So now because I've realistically mentioned that starting flame wars gets in the way of constructive feedback, I'm being called fake and egotistical.
Eh, nevermind might as well play the part. I think I'm okay with PVP getting shafted and ****ed in the rear. The salt is so goddamn entertaining. Keep up the good work Kai.
At any rate, you're the one who started talking ****. Don't turn this around on me for defending my own thread.
Dude we used to be duel buddies then you suddenly started with this nonsensical crap. Stop it and apologize, it does not suit you.
Duel buddies? I think we dueled once, maybe twice 2+ years ago, and you never won. You're jaded and now talk out of your *** about a power you never used or knew why to use it. Now.. Well, there's simply no way to reduce someone's healing power without using 1 of 2 melee attacks, or the Pestilence passive. Let's remember there's plenty of gear that boosts heal strength as well as passives/specs to boost it more. How do you think not having one, FREAKING ONE power, to cut that healing bonus in half at range isn't fair when there's still 2 melee powers that do the same?
Again, Ebon Ruin never previously affected PvE so why else nerf it's ability to apply trauma UNLESS it was to spite PvPer's?
I just don't understand how this is justified. But this is Trump's Amerikkka.
That was me commending you on your videos and even defending you when someone was starting crap over them. A sign of me giving a ****.
I don't really care if that changes your opinion of me in the slightest. Was just interested in showing how your labelling of me being a "peasant", "egoistical" and "fake" are nothing but foaming-at-the-mouth BS.
Your supplied link proves one thing, you don't PvP. You didn't 3 years ago and you do not now. What was your input on this thread about #EbonRuin again...?
I'm sorry I upset you tonight, but it doesn't justify a game company totally screwing an entire playerbase.. ..for as many years old as your link/post was... We've reached a limit, and I'm gonna bit** a lot now so just let me bit**.
I haven't PVP'ed for that long because 1) I don't enjoy duels and 2) broken queues. I played the heck out of ZA with the occasional Stronghold in-between in the past. Obviously I've always been wanting queues to be fixed.
