Champions Online has been live for 17 days and one of the biggest concerns among players is that retcon pricing is too high and not enough resources are being dropped. So this weekend they will be pushing out some changes to the public test realm to get your feedback.

Among the changes:

• Substantially increasing the number of white upgrade drops
• Increasing the amount of resources received for defeating enemies and completing missions
• Retcon pricing curve is going to be gentler
