For the good of Healers... all kinds... Please report this group UI issue:

Group direction arrows to grouped players are directed from the characters facing, not the players camera view. This makes it more or less impossible for a player with a healer character to quickly determine which direction their wounded friend is.

This is NOT how it worked pre-cu.

Example:
^ = Group arrow
^= Player character, arrow points at the direction player character is facing
O = Location of friend
-------------- = Screen, facing the same view at all times, just moving the character "^" around.


Visual Example 1:
In Game: Correct:
----------------------------
^ ^
O O

^ ^
----------------------------
----------------------------
<^
OO

> >
----------------------------

Visual Example 2:
In Game: Correct:
----------------------------
^<
O < O <

----------------------------
----------------------------
> <
O v O v

Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

We were asked to give our top 3 issues a few weeks ago regarding our prof and one outside our prof. The group arrow pointers just so happened to be mine. I never got a reply regarding the issue but I will bring it up again.

In addition to the odd locator the update rate is very slow (if it updates at all).

I noticed it, but didn't make the connection to why it was happening.

To solve it, I made a few quick macros, though, that target player X and then /follow them. If I were truly motivated, I would map them to my numpad key, the way I did pre-CU. Such that numpad 2= Target group member 2;/follow;/pause 2;/bactashot;/bactajab

Or some such....

This is what I was forced to do as well.

I have group members on Shift 1-7, and then /follow on G.
