OP, how often are you even seeing DCs with insane stats like this? We're at similar SR (you're a little higher than me) and I've never seen one like this.
DCs have been dialed way back since the early sets and it's fine now. I don't really like DCs either, but it was way worse before.
Repeat after me - it's fine.
From before, like when we had 400% defense datacrons? Or when we had datacrons that applied to GL's? Oh, wait, those are back again. And they'll be back again and again because CG is just recycling old datacron abilities. (That's why all the character specific abilities don't say he/she anymore, all were switched to "they" so characters, factions, etc., can just be switched.)
It's fine you say, but is it though?
Yes, it is. We both survived before, and we will again.
Once again, how many times have you seen one of these mega defense DCs? How much higher do you think you would be in GAC if you hadn't seen it...once? Twice? Not at all?
Neither of us is in K1. It's not relevant to either of us.
It's fine.
Just because something is not relevant to you, does not mean it is not relevant to the game or player base.
Should K1 players discount the PG problems because they already have the Conquest units? Not relevant to me or my guild.
It is a valid concern that CG has 400% defense stats in same set as 200% defense (eventually) ability as well as 75% damage reduction (sometimes).
Is it the biggest issue right now? No. Other things should be addressed first and its a DC so it'll rotate out. Would be nice if they tuned defense down some in future DC sets, though.
Should you just blow it off because "it isn't relevant to you"? IMO no.
It's not relevant to me or the OP, who I was addressing. It's also not relevant to 99% of the player base.
The PG issue impacts way more players.
I'm sorry K1 players have to deal with it, I guess. I suspect they're coping, or they're now in K2, which is also fine.
I will concur that Proving Grounds is definitely a bigger problem child that CG needs to address, especially with the newer super commando issue (Not that it impacts me since I can't play any of those). Rented Datacrons aren't as big an issue, but that doesn't mean they aren't an issue that can be discussed on an official forum, among so many other issues players have.
