Icon/symbol, then your aiming

[xato13]

If you use a skill or attack someone, their is a clear symbol and the combat starts.(hard to miss)
But if someone is standing next to you holding a sling, you can't see if he is aiming or just standing.

Can't we there be added a small symbol of a cross or something?

I believe that a to large symbol would make you to easy to detect.
But something small, that you would only notice if you looked closely at the person.



I tried to search the forums for a similar post.
I didn't find any.
If there is, i apologize beforehand for not searching well enough.

just run a bit, if the person is aiming he'll turn the way you're moving, not follow, just look same direction as you per automatic.

If you are standing near someone who is a potential threat to you, and you think they might be aiming at you then perhaps you should try moving around. If they are indeed aiming at you, their toon will turn in place and follow you as you move.

move around, if they are aiming, the character will be facing you all the time.

On boats too?
i know about "the follow".
Just thought it would be nice with a little symbol, for those cases then it's hard to find out by moving.

If someone talks to you they face you.

the visual tracking is somewhat subtle, I think xato is right, it should be fairly overt that someone is either swinging a sling around their heads or drawing back a big ass long bow

Exactly
Just afraid that the symbol would be too large or be seen through trees and large objects.

You should still be able to hide and snipe from a distance.
Just a symbol that you only see if you look at the character closely.
(Since i believe symbols are easier to make then an animation)
