More heroic heroes, please

Yes, yes people die from tasers but it's less lethal then multiple gunshot and does less damage then being beat into submission. If you struggle they will tase you again, that's how it works. Just like in the good old days if you kept fighting they would keep hitting or choke you with their leg on your throat.

Even the camera guy commented about him still fighting them off after being cuffed. I'm glad that people who wish to fight till the last can now do so without doing much harm to law enforcement agents.

Here's the thing. I understand not using an ice sword (or even a regular sword) skin as an option for fire sword, on account of the secondary burning animation, or a baseball bat or big salami instead of greater stone mallet on account of the crumbling rock secondary FX.

Having said that, the "lethal" (piercing, cutting, bloodletting) secondary effects (visuals and sounds) aren't exactly all that obvious in what they are. Yes a guy reeling back from a hail of bullets is obviously being shot, but since there's no blood, bits of bone (or other internal chunks) flying out of the guy it's not as blatantly obvious as, say, setting a guy on fire with your fire powers of fiery fire damage. The katana sound effects to me just sound like kitchen scissors cutting air. Although I have never personally witnessed a person being cut down with a sword (nor do I wish to), I'm willing to bet there's a few splashing noises, some gurgling, and perhaps a whimper that sounds a lot like "Why? Dear God WHY!"

>>>This is not a call for more gore!!<<<

I don't want Mortal Kombat, the MMO, nor do I want to see visible evidence that NPCs poop themselves when one-shotted. I just don't see the issue with adding escrima sticks, bokken, or whatever else to the sets that would use similar if not the exact same animations where the secondary effects aren't explicit. A plumber's wrench as a superhero mace is considerably sillier, in my opinion. I've always found the Wrecker to be the lamest villain in all comic book history.

Worst case scenario: Fine! How about escrima sticks with a twisted, rusty nail through the ends? Or will people start wanting toxic damage because of the tetanus?

I just want to keep sets with "sword" and "blade" in the name using swords and/or bladed weapons. I'm willing to accept weapons that, in real life, don't cut but in-game sort of look like they do. I cannot, however, accept a weapon which CLEARLY doesn't cut put into a sword set and being stabbed through a man's chest. If it doesn't have a blade, it has no place being in a set about Dual Blades.

And why do they need to be, really? You already have a variety of basing sets, including a bashing weapon set. Why not put them in there? Why try bastardize sets that clearly don't fit the bill? It's like picking Assault Rifle and then asking for slingshots to be added as a weapon variant. I'm not against that as an attack set, but it has no business being jackhammered into Assault Rifle.

Ask for new sets, by all means. But let's try to give the sets that already exist some meaning in being separate, defined sets.

ii have personally not really liked how heroes don't kill certain enemies! yes it would be extremely brutal to kill hundreds of petty theives a day, but still some enemies should be killed, like group leaders and really evil people

and some enemy groups can't exactly be put in jail can they, like Cot, why put a demon or ghost in jail, thats jsut moronic =P
