Implementing enhancements into Epicduel was actually a good idea at first. Everyone was looking forward to it because it allowed us to add that extra bit of customisablity to our builds and we weren't restricted by the default stats of our weapons. I always wished I could have a few extra stat modifiers in dexterity and support, and most of the community expected the enhancement system to be like AQW's (scale by level). It turned out differently but it wasn't a total disaster at first. You could only enhance your primary, so the cost wasn't too bad. If they'd just added a credit option and left it as it was, then the enhancement system would have been fine. It was only when they started with armor enhancements, and then auxillary and gun enhancements that things just got too expensive and unaffordable.

Should enhancements be removed? No, they shouldn't because they allow us to customise our stats in builds and they do give ur more stat modifiers. I know that they aren't keen on refunds, but they should remove gun and auxillary enhancements, then give us a refund for it. I'm not saying this because I want it, I'm saying it because it would please the community. Armor enhancements should stay because they were made just so founder armor could have a unique 10 enhancement slots. They could try this, and if things are still too expensive then they can reduce the varium cost for enhancements.

Enhancements don't really have an effect on the creativity of builds; agility, focus, stat requirements, stat diminishing and all the other various nerfs were what took away the 'creativity'. It all depends how you define creative; some may think that spamming one stat isn't creative, spamming health may not be creative and having high health maynot be considered creative. True, there may be some balance issues right now in Epicduel that the devs are trying to take care of, but creative is a very broad term. Since it is a broad term, it's very hard to bring true 'creativity' into this game.

Seeing this, I have to disagree with your initial statement although a few atlerations to the enhancement system would be appreciated.

Im, Not 100% sure here, but I know for a fact that something has changed to beta, And i know this is hard to understand and it's just as hard explaining but I'm about 90% sure it was mainly to do with enhacements. If i look at the non cost aspect of enhacements, They may seem harmless, (apart from the cost) but i belive It is what has caused builds to become soo unbalanced, Why? well i belive the main diffrence between now and beta is builds are soo much more powerful now, and although this is obvious the negative aspects of powerful builds is not.
Powerful builds leads to,
-Luck having a greater impact which has been shown,
-Many unfair cheap builds to be created, Yes the two hit str merc. and the other really high str builds.
-Strategy is now alot more difficult, This one is obvious as power has tacken the place of strategy in many cases. And is it just me or using the same strategies you used before not working??
- And many more small things, such as crits becoming to powerful.

Although you could argue , lots of those things are the same as it was in beta, Well I will bet that if you removed enhacements for maybe just one week or even 3 days, You will find this game less frustrating more strategic and a major decrase in cheap builds which can be mistaken for "overpowered".
