I have 2 accounts. It's now issue 8 and I am sick and tired of the nerfs. I would gladly join a class action lawsuit against Cryptic Studios in violationg of the Eula. changes made to the game are not minor, they are major, directly affecting your play and changing the product you have paid for. I want to sue.

I fully support this petition. CoH and CoV were on my wish list, until that dreaded day when I5 ruined my life entirely. My tank was a tin can, my blaster had less power of a friggin' slingshot and my quick-heal mutant who fornally could handle 5-10 groups at the same lvl, was luckily to walk away from a single battle with a low level enemy! Plus, I paid for 3 extra months 'cause I love the game; and a few weeks later those bastards "fixed" the game. YO! NC soft! The word "fix" implies improvement and I haven;t seen 1 iorta of improvement since I5 or the later issues, which I saw during the month I tried to stomach the changes. PS--Those of us who paid for the old CoH--the one where heros were actually super--and got gyped by this new EP system would like our $$ back

Why would you do this NCSoft..I tried the game and loved it and have been trying to get other MMO gamers to get this game but if this nerf happends that will be next to impossible..Not to mention I will probably leave amongst other players..Whats the fun being a Controller who can't control? How are you supposed to stay alive if your Tankers can't tank..C'mon now, I thought you guys were in it to make a profit..You should listen to the people that pay monthly to enjoy the game..Isn't the golden rule of business also.."The customer's always right"

lvl 50 tanker said 08/05/05, 8:05 pm (verified)

if they nerf tankers and scrapers c.o.h wouldent be the same. Do u think i would have spent 5 months tryin to get to 50 if i knew my tanker would be a piece of junk in the end, NO!!! Ive helped alot of people in this game and this is how u repay me. U guys are makin this game different from what it was when u guys created this game. u cant do this, or else , trust me, ur not gonna c alot of the relient clients come on this game. we will beat this nerf, no matter what, so lets just do this the easy and dont nerf, b4 something even worse happens!!

Of all the time ive been playin coh, i looked up to the tankers . If NCSoft nerfs them, thats gonna mean suicide for the entire team, come on ur ruining the game for everyone. this game used to be about gettin to lvl 50 and good team work, but now its gettin harder and harder cuz of all the dumb pointless changes NCSoft is making. So just stop the nerfing now!

COH is fundamentally a boring, repetitive game. The excitement, and the reason I play it anyway, is the development of a character concept and hair-rasing battles...If the nerfs increase the challenge of the battle then i'm all for it. But to do so at the cost of development of character concept is just a poor excuse for lack of creativity. Changes should concentrate on improving the character concept...make the Origin actually MEAN something; have the accomplishment of missions actually CHANGE your future options...and get rid of all that swords and sorcery genre crap...I want to play superheroes not Dungeons and Dragons

when have scrappers ever been the "glory" of the team? we do our best to take out a few, but have no devastating AOE's, no massive invulnerabilities..we are the lone wolves, the solo fighters and our abilities often leave us the last man standing...but we gather no ohhs and ahhs...now we'll be lucky just to get into range to take out a single foe, nevermind stay toe-to-toe (scrapper by definition)...for any length of time...ahh yes everthing is now in balance..the great big fat(boring)mediocrity

This will not work. But I do want word out there that the game WILL suck hind teat when i5 goes live. I don't think anyone should be subjected to such craptastic "visions". Nerfsman, you suck.

I don't believe a petition will do much. The devs at CoH have been ignoring the outcry of those that are angry and only responding to those that have happy-happy things to say about the nerfs. The weakening of ANY character archetype is uncalled for. But this is what they will do in all likelihood, and equally as likely is the loss of their player base. We, the players, have been posting many ideas on how to make the game more challenging, and their answer to our ideas is to handicap us. They did it with I4, despite public outcry. They will do it with I5. But this time, they will lose more than a few players. That seems to be obvious.

We tried so hard to make our toon they way they are right now. AND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA MAKE THEM WORTHLESS. Please guys tankers and scrappers are the teams frontline men. To nerf them the way you are is gonna meen death for the team. And for the controllers there pets is the only way they can solo a mish and make them usefull. To herf the pets will basicly erase all controllers from the game with will also help in the death of all teams. PLZ if your gonna nerf dont do it by much and dont touch the controllers. Im telling you you nerf the game you loose many clients and that im sure of.

Been playing since Nov. of 04' not much more than a noob to some but I feel all the same as most that all of the nerfs are a load. I can understand some but overall why change something that has worked for and attracted so many players?

I have loved city of heroes since my first character and, as with many others, have given my hard earned money to continue to enjoy the experience of playing as a hero. the changes in I5 are definately going to make me second guess wheather i will continue to offer my money to maintain my account. Why would i want to play an "Invulnerable " tank when their defense is going to be halved and I cant taunt more than a few enemies off my allies? Firetanks are already taking a lot of damage and I feel their lower defense right now is a good balance to their damage dealing output. If they are nerfed further they might as well be blasters. If you decide to nerf tankers you should just remove the invulnerable power pool because they can no longer be called "invulnerable " with such vulnerabilities. In an effort to maintain "fairness" with your product you have stripped the fun out of playing with two of your most well-liked archtypes. You might as well change the name to City od Blasters.

I wondered why all my friends were looking for other games to play online.. then i read the issue 5 content.. and i'm looking around for another game.. and it wont be City of Villians either.

No Longer a Controller said 07/23/05, 1:53 am (verified)

I have played, and loved, controllers for a ver ylong time... now with Issue 5 coming in, they will be practically useless... controllers cannot control, and their pets are horrible now... tankers cannot hold aggro or herd (there goes Invuln.)...the only thing getting something good from this is blasters (only thing affecting them is the retarded AoE idea) This issue is horrible, you devs completely ruined the specialty every AT has to offer. The specialty of the Cont. was that they could amazingly keep the enemies from moving, attacking, or both. Can they do that now? Hell no! Tankers: with right slots they can do amazing things too, takin every hit the enemy has to offer and reducing it to hardly a scratch. their other specialty is holding aggro through Taunt... now with the AoE nerf, they can't hold aggro at all... This is, IMO, the worst update with some of the worst ideas i have EVER seen...

Trey said 07/21/05, 3:02 am (verified)

if i5 goes live alot of people will be leaving, simply because the game is getting to be where it's not fun anymore, my dark defender was fun to plya, guess what not on test, don't break the characters anymore than they already are controllers need to control not do 2x dmg pve and 3x dmg in the arena super reflexes is already weak enough (and i am a blaster) these nerfs are ridiculous,i want tanks on the team so i don't die not so the defender has one more person to keep alive tanks are meat shields, LEAVE THEM THAT WAY!!! if u do this alot of people who have 3 and 4 accounts will be selling them (i.e powerlevelers) that would be stupid to lose that much money.....use some sense

TJ said 07/17/05, 12:50 am (verified)

you have stolen the speciality from the game a controller that can't control but blasts with damage is what I consider my blaster. a scrapper with little defense and high damage is called a melee blaster and a tank with no defense is a sitting duck. I think the game is in perfect balance now and that these changes are poorly concieved at best.

Neo said 07/16/05, 12:49 pm (verified)

i have a invul tank, and a fire tank, this nerf will kill them both, the whole reason i made a tank was to help keep the squishys alive and with this i cant even do that! im a under powered melee blaster (VERY underpowered)
