Why not? I'm saying I'm not drawn into the game, but that doesn't mean I don't have any questions about it and the one I happened to ask relates to a feature that no other game has and which I find a distraction. I'm therefore interested to know whether it will be a permanent feature or not. It's a perfectly valid question.

Will combat, especially in the earlier levels, be sped up to be more actiony and less turny?

The graphics are great for the game and the atmosphere is pretty cool, but when you engage mobs and spend 5 minutes mashing the same three keys it gets boring.

The ideas for combat are great, but sharing a CD for your base attack with spells or having spells with 3-5 second cast times is too much.

Question number 1: UI funcionality is the main problem with the game - too little UI customization. You cannot resize or move windows, bars, etc... Will more UI funcionality be added in the near future? As well as a /who command that you can use to help find group members? Is there a LFG interface in the plans as well? The lagging group and raid interfaces also make healing quite a nightmare at this time, are you looking into it?

Question number 2: Will ADD-ONs be supported to some extent? How about some basic macros (this specially affects pet classes, specially the warden class since they have little control over their pet).

Question number 3: The Psionicist archetype was obviously designed with some other way than Trance to get rid of mental overload (Pain Transfer). Its previous implementation was inbalanced but are you looking into some other ways to manage mental stress rather than a single skill or a low proc % in one of the racials?

1. Im in the same boat as wolfiebr, i would like to know about the UI customization options. Right now the interface seems large and clunky and could use a bit of refinement. Currently you can create lua to alter the games UI but no official API exists for allowing addons nor has Astrum Nival put out an official word on whether creating "unofficial addons" will be allowed or perceived as a banable offense. Will we see an official API release by Astrum Nival/will they allow us to create addons period? If not will they be restricting the lua functionality to prevent potential game integrity problems?

2. Will there be a future patch that will allow character appearance customization similar to Aion's reskinning, or Guildwars's dyeing?

What happened to not selling power?

If and when they plan of fixing the patching bug that has effected lots of people? I have been unable to play since the last patch. When it affects every PC I own...I know its not my fault :)
