Ok, I'm officially done with Champions Online until they effectivily fix this game. I'm not being whiney or anything like that, and those that say the game isn't broken for them. Good, continue playing. Though it may not be broken for every powerset, it IS broken for the powersets that I want to play. I know how to block, I know how to defend myself in that game. When I cannot survive a same level group of 1 villan, and 2 henchmen, something is seriously wrong. Even after I have buffed up my defenses, of which I shouldn't have to do unless I want to tank, I still can't solo.
I started a new character, a fire based character, from scratch, going all defensive, and ran into a brick wall on quests. I can't complete them without help. The best I can do is kill one henchmen, run away, rest up, come back kill another, run away, rest up, kill the villian and hope I survive. Some times that doesn't even work, because now my travel power is so slow they take me out as I'm flying away. Fuck that, that is not fun in anyway shape or form.
So flat out, if they don't fix the game, I won't be back to play it.

Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time with the game. I'm not really having any of the issues that you describe. Things definitely got harder after the release day patch, but nothing that seems unreasonable. I'm still easily able to take on a even level group of 1 Villain + 2-3 henchmen without too many issues. Even groups of the same thing two levels higher are doable, but present far more of a challenge.
If I get some time this weekend I might do some stuff on my ice guy to see if I notice any of the problems that others are having, but on my main I just don't see them.
I think this post http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?p=955400#post955400 sums up very well why I'm not having problems and others seem to be. Cryptic has somewhat acknowledged the issue, however there's not really any good feedback from the Dev's yet.
Essentially what the post says is that Defensive Passives, AoE, and CC are all overpowered at the moment. This is directly what my character is built around at the moment. Characters that are single target damage based were far more affected by the recent "balancing" which was designed nerf characters like mine. Unfortunately they completely FUBARed it.
What will be interesting to see is what comes of this. Cryptic can either just nerf CC, AoE, and Defensive Passives again which would probably make me agree with you and quit the game, or they can nerf CC, AoE, Defensvie Passives, AND rebalance mobs back to close to the way they were at which point I think we would all be happy.
I'm just concerned about Geeon.
I know, Dev, I feel bad because this feels like AoC part 2.
I am Fine Devandra... Thank You :)
I had to switch my Characters in order to create a more AOE intensive toon to survive. I find I can take 3-4 equal to 2 level higher groups. I do die alot, my blocking skill is the games base. Reading the last post by Nick confirms what I have heard in the chats all yesterday while playing- Single target based toons don't live. Same group I took out at 15 - level 17-18 Robots he died on-However the single target level 18 Gunslinger Robot he whomped on and I couldn't get him to half health. One thing I have found is the game seems very cut throat- Same example the guy wouldn't help me take out the Gunslinger. I even offered prior to asking to help him if he wanted my help -He said no.
Devandra, hehe I bought the game , not a big deal but I did NOT enter my credit card infor yet. This game allowed for testing it w/o entering it.
Grexis, LOL LOL LOL at least if this game bombs I can also blame Kira. hehe.
