Reading the
Issue 6 release notes, I think the term "Enhancement Diminishing Returns" (which afaik is not capitalised in I19 ?) arises from the following:
"Enhancement Diversification.
This is a new system being implemented into City of Villains and City of Heroes (when City of Villains launches) to promote the use of more different types of Enhancements in powers. Using a system of diminishing returns, when slotting the same type of Enhancement into a power, you will begin to see less effect of that Enhancement when the bonus reaches a certain threshold. The effectiveness of Enhancements you are slotting can now be seen in the Enhancement screen." (Issue 6 release notes)
And that is the first use of the term
diminishing returns, which becomes specific by pre-pending "Enhancement" to it.
This is where I get the sense that Enhancement Diversification is a system, or set of changes, that altered the fundamental mechnaics of the game. Whereas Enhancement Diminishing Returns is the
effect of that system that we have all come to know and love.
