Exclamation Equipment Defense Changes?

I don't see it in the patch notes, but the defenses (at least at the early levels) are lower than what they were (approximately -- some are maybe half?) in equipped items.

Was this in previous patch notes?

Some things that were 1.x are now 0.x and I noticed some that were 5.x that are now 2.x -- is this to go along with the 'slight' change in damage that mobs put out?

Also the other stat bonuses are lower.

Does this have to do with the new tables that you all were talking about earlier in the week?

Glad to see this getting some more exposure. I bugged it early this morning. Hopefully the devs will fix this before it goes live.

I posted yesterday afternoon and I was shocked that no one replied -- and you were the only other person to have a thread on this subject. Even someone I teamed with yesterday didn't notice the stat change until I pointed it out.

This is a significant change to EVERY player in the game.

I'd like to see some stats on higher level characters, but at the moment, I don't have anyone that high-level on test...

It would also be nice if a Dev could respond (or add a patch note to the 9/18 patch notes) -- hopefully tomorrow when they are back to work...

http://forums.champions-online.com/s...ad.php?t=70264 Also another thread about defense changes here. Hoping for a dev post on monday to clarify why this wasn't documented and why it's really random across levels.

This is a very bad stealth nerf.

Very nice -- I didn't see your post yesterday when I created mine, or I would've posted in yours.

Still, this needs to get some decent exposure before this patch goes live....
