Fix eyes on back of head.....

[Topsnus]

Fine, apparently all of you spend all your time looking behind you..... paranoid....

Following up on the head turning idea, yeah, make the person glow red when they touch the key, so that stupid spin stab wont work so easily.



P.S. To the person saying it is a realistic feature like turning your head: I don't know about you, but im not an owl, i can't spin my head all the way around.

Until the sound in this game doesn't suck as gigantic gooey balls as it does, it's a necessary feature.

Also I don't know how your body works but because of peripheral vision most people can turn their head the farthest it will go and see directly behind them.

[Joxer]

I never learned to use that. It's a silly feature but I guess it is bit more realistic than not having it. Since IRL we can move our heads and eyes to look around quite fast and have a superior envirmental awarness that is lost in a 2D format. I don't think it should go but make it so that you cant hold attack and do superduper fast turning attacks from that.
I think there is a real advantage in not using it. You move around to look behind and your character moves unpredictably. You avoid lots of ranged fire when you dont use tilde.

[MeevarTheMighty]

I have it set to ctrl so it doesn't alter my movement to use it constantly. Of course I still regularly get stabbed in the face while I'm watching the guy behind me. 

[Vibe]

How will I be able to look at my handsome face every 5 seconds then?

[Blondin]

And how do you spot cav coming behind you?

You can't compare to rl, i mean in a second i can look right and left and be aware of my surrounding, it's not even like that in the game.
So yeah it's unrealistic but it's the only way.

[Gristle]

Don't fix what isn't broken.

[PieParadox]

You deserve to die if you think you can gank someone and fail

[Turkhammer]

most people use it to watch behind them or flanks when running, especially archers.  defeats the purpose if they cant move when doing it

I can look behind me when I run.  I say keep it.

One of the most important rules of Rincewind "never look back when you run (away)"
It can cause you to stumble or fall (murphy´s law and so).

[Dexxtaa]

I won't be able to see my pretty armor.

Can't believe that Lizard is against this idea

The thing is, in RL the person sneaking up on you sees that.

This feature isn't really a problem though. Unrealistic in some ways, but definetly not our biggest problem. As Tod said it should be disabled if we had proper movement sounds because it basically is a workaround for the lack of spatial hearing (not sure about how to say that in english).

[Tears of Destiny]

You said it perfectly in English.
