Yeah, but they only light up from mere movement (without mouse buttons depressed) when orcs are near.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

Dudes, you realize these indicators don't show where enemies' weapons are going, but only where you are attacking/blocking, right?
Lol, had no idea. In that case thems the most useless things ever.

I use those 'attack / block direction indicators' to spot enemies behind walls and in trees and such. Useful.

How much of the screen do they take up and how bright? I am wary of them being an immense distraction.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I guess i'm use to the little yellow and blue arrows when attacking. I don't even see them anymore.

But sometimes when i'm searching for the last player, those arrows pop up when the enemy is near, even when i can't actually see the enemy yet.

I thought they showed the attack/block direction you had prepared, but when I turn them on, it doesn't seem like that's what they correspond to.

Now I hear they can detect unseen enemies?

Always used them. As mentioned, since they light up when enemies are near, I am never, ever surprised by people hiding behind corners or haystacks or what have you.

I figured everyone had them on, and since that doesn't seem to be the case I guess I have finally found the answer to the often mused thought "why the hell did he just run past that corner and die...".  :D
