Take a crap in the box and send it to NCsoft
Yeah? I hope they get hacked...

Umm Forbin, as much as the mods seem to dislike necroing... I doubt they'll be overly fond of insulting players for doing it.
But that's just my guess, been wrong before

Let's also not forget about us folks who don't use a QWERTY...mine is QWERTZ for example. I have ä, ö, ü and such stuff; what am I supposed to do if the game wants me to press a key I don't even have?
Also, what about people who have lots and lots of keybinds.
"The game wants me to press P... but on P I have [Self Destruct]"

IMHO none of your suggestions is really that good;
50% end below lvl 20...we already got inherent fitness, that has to be good enough.
50% end and shorter animations on a miss...why? you exhaust yourself wether you hit or not; and we would need new animations for every power that can miss.
no unresistable auto-hits... meh, boring
So,

So, basically you want to play him with earth and dark powers?

And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what we call too dumb to live.

And exactly THAT is the problem...

Or don't shrink (from db size) and simply put the chainsaw over the hand...like a replacement.

heh, I just started the launcher and went to work

You've read it here first, the Shining Stars arcs will be removed

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god...

Impossible, would break the toons... as said a few times in this thread alone.
What a great idea, but weren't the EATs... well you know, kinda bound into the backstory? What faction do we have in game that can change into different animals?
Like Staff Fighting, or more like the Shillelagh we have for War Mace?
(Most likely) Won't happen, waaaaaayyyy too much work. That's why I suggested Tentacles.
ehhh, maybe not
As long as they explode (Grenades, like the various Goblins) I'm all for this.
Impossible with the current engine.

yeah, it's not like this stuff would take time to make. It is widely known that the devs just have to snap their fingers...
Give Water Manipulation some time, I'm sure it's already on the way... or at least planned.

We already got that, it's called Kinetic Melee.
Got those too in the form of Crabs. But yes, a few more options would be nice.
-------------------

What's missing too and what I'd really love to see in CoX... Tentacles.
Think Omega Red, Doctor Octopus, Carnage, Ultimate Venom, Constrictor and The Darkness.

The advantage tentacles would have over whips is that they'd need minimal to no recoil and no idle animation as they could easily be retracted into the body again as part of the attack animation.
Give 'em like 4 or 5 skins; metal, organic, chains, slimy and maybe something magically glowy...and I'll be a happy little Nightmare.
