couple of stolen suggestions

Dalayan Beginner
While I'm here, I mayaswell suggest a few things. My last MMORPG was Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. There where a few things I miss since playing that, so I thought I would suggest them incase you liked them.

1) When you use the mouse wheel to scroll the view out into third person, you can then hold the middle mouse button/wheel and then you can rotate the view around your character, so you can see him/her from any angle. I used to like running like this, and looking from an off centre angle at the front, and taking my robe off and pretending I was David Hasslehoff.

2) Under the group member's health bar, was a little blue bar for mana too. At first, I didn't like the idea of everyone knowing my business... But after a while, I realised that its better. Just trust me. Its better. For a few reasons that I can't be bothered typing, unless you really want me to?

3) Next to the character's name in your group, and next to the targetted mob, was a tiny little arrow which pointed you towards them. If the mob or groupmate was ahead of you for example, the arrow would point upwards. If they where to your left, the arrow would point left... etc... This made it really easy to find your group mates, without having to look at the map. But what it was most useful for, was targetting a mob with your target-nearest-mob button, and if you couldn't see it (because its behind a tree or whatever), you would know where it is. And if you get a lag spike or something and you end up losing the mob you where fighting, you will know where it is by just looking at the arrow.


There where other things that might work nice in this game, but I can't think of them, and most of them might require too much work to be worthwhile.

The latter two aren't possible, and the first one is already available in certain views (hit F9) by holding the right mouse button down.
 
That F9 view doesn't seem to work in a nice way. It never has. I'm not sure where it goes wrong, I just don't like it, and its not the same as in Vanguard and other modern games like that. Its also not bound to the middle mouse button.

As for the other two, I can live without them. Would have been nice though. Especially the mana one. I thought it might have been possible too, because the pet bar got added under the health bar.
