[To the Developers] Please give us the option to let other players see our head turn.

Never paid attention to others, but I can see my friends' heads turn just fine. At least when they target something.

I've made a thread about that, and sadly the Devs did respond...

Bummer. I completely missed that dev post. Thanks for posting it.

That's a different feature altogether and only helps if you actually have something to target that is 1) in the right position and 2) not moving around to make you look like a bobble head.

That the OP is talking about is where you move your camera into the position you want your character to face and then hit the key that makes them face that way without otherwise moving, as demonstrated in the above demonstrated images. In the picture where the character is looking downwards there is nothing down there for them to target to make them look down, it can only be achieved with the face camera button. That function can't be seen by others however.

Problem is even this tiny feature would tax certain systems. Clientside it's fine, but...

Something about PS3...

I'd prefer not to process which way the head of hundreds of players in mor dhona or ul'dah. Sounds like a lag nightmare

That is why I'm asking not for a full change, but for the option to change. Players that do not RP would probably not care to make their head turn be displayed, so they can keep that Off. Roleplayers would probably want to see them though, and cope with the lag. I'd prefer to have to tweak my settings differently for the sake of seeing head turns (for example I've already removed all battle effects off, to not see Holy spammers and the like). Also you should keep in mind that at any given time there's very few people using the Face Camera button, while there's many more simply targeting things to make their heads turn, and those already display on your screen. So I don't think there'd be any overload of data.

I had no idea this was even a thing. I always thought people could tell.

All my AFK-coolness factor just dropped 50%.

I've always thought that I'd LOVE this feature! This would not only be great for RP, but also for screenshot taking with friends. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

..., I rather if you didnt force what your character does onto others, theres also plenty of people that dont want to see what you are doing, this is quiet inconsiderate, we dont even have the option to see characters unglamoured and instead forced to see people in their circus outfits.

This.

I had no idea other people could not see the adjustments that I made to my head positioning. They say ignorance is bliss. Now I'm sad.
