[MASSIVELY: Has Homecoming torched the plans of City of Heroes successors?]

The fundamental problem with any of these successors actually becoming a reality is what’s often referred to as the “MVP” (Minimum Viable Product) quandry.  To achieve any possible level of success as a competitor to Homecoming or it’s variants requires them to effectively MATCH the level of functionality and content currently available from the SCORE release.  That’s no small task.  Anything LESS in terms of functionality, scope and content will likely be met with a very large yawn from the admittedly already SMALL potential customer base that are currently playing on the SCORE variant servers. 

 

This is probably going to be one of the biggest issues.  HC is releasing content at a good pace.  The longer the successors take to release their products, the more they have to contend with an ever increasing amount of content HC is releasing.

[Focused Feedback: Enhancements]

Question about the new DSOs:  if a power doesn't normally allow a particular enhancement to be slotted, would slotting DSO still affect that stat?  For example, Assault allows endurance reduction, but not damage one.  If one were to slot the damage/endurance reduction DSO, would assault's damage be boosted? 

 

EDIT: and also same question for Build up:  would slotting the damage/recharge DSO boost the damage, even though build up normally doesn't take damage enhancements?

[Exemplar effect on Set Bonuses of Superior Archetype Enhancements?]

I'm wondering when Archetype Enhancements gets converted into superior version and lose their attuned status, how do the set bonuses work when exemplar?  Do they work like the purple and PVP IOs and remain intact?
