Stabs aren't designed to swing them, and the ground is a something solid beneath you, so I don't see why you should be able to hit through it. Those are the features that reward proper choice of attacks and general weapon awarness. Also 50 ping is fine.
As far as I remember you used to play with perma-day weather... I think that you're just trying to make the game easier for yourself, not better, but this is just an opinion.
Im generally one to approve changes that make choices matter etc, but turn rate is simply lack of control of the character it doesnt feel like it adds anything to the game only makes it less enjoyable. Going to a native server just instantly feels like the intended way, it just fits the general combat more. With such unnaturally high movementspeeds, its only fair to adjust turnrates to fit it. The ground not being solid is maybe something i only i enjoyed, but it allowed for some tricky plays, opens up more options etc. I just feel that removing them never was needed.
50 ping is fine yeah, but im not sure if the ping is to blame, but the servers arent the same as when i was at 30 ping. If the 20 ping increase is to blame, or something about the servers in general i dont know, but i can not pull of precision moves like previously. This has been an issue for a while now, hence people complain about restarting servers etc, but it never really helps.
For the weather thing, I used to like the day/night cycle, but slowly i noticed it really doesnt add anything, but only makes weapons sometimes super hard to see when fighting. Another thing that doesnt add to the arcadey/competitive aspect of crpg, but only makes you play worse on certain maps because of lack of vision. Unless you have some really good gamma increase settings on your monitor etc, but at that point why not just make it perma daytime?
If you think that the ground having a hitbox is bad thing, you might just be retarded. Unless of course you were one of those guys that would use a pike through the ground and such, then yeah, the QQ makes sense.
I was one of those, so i guess im not retarded then? Phew, i got off lucky there, if i had joined the game later from native and had disliked the change then i would have been a retard
