No more acidental killngs - kill those who killed you not th

I think there should be some new skill that alows you to track people because today Drey the dwarf killed me twice and killed some other people so I went to hunt him down and accidentally attacked Mishrack who is one of the more peaceful players. I think that the skill could do something like make every step that the target takes it leaves glowing footprints that only the user of the skill can see. I'm open to other ideas though because that skill would probably be extremely difficult to programm into the game. Sorry again, Mishrack.

The characters with high perception should be able to better detect snipers. If you're killed by a close combat weapon or a spell, there should be a message "You were killed by (character's number).

The same message should come often to those sniper's victims who have high perception (at the moment this ability is unused...)

Close combat attackers should have a green square surrounding them (similar to the red square of attack targets) that everyone around would see.

Just want you all to know that there are a TON of ideas how to see a "sniper" or who is attacking you. But none of these ideas can come to reality until there is someone to program, and until the new server is released. So until then, you should better focus your attention to in game matters and solutions.

It won't necessarily need a new server (to make things a bit better). Just a little patching to the client if done properly... How about automatically saying #w I'M ATTACKING! when attacking?

They don't wont to release things bit by bit with every patch so they want to wait and release everything with the new server all at once, or something like this.

They also need a server programmer...
