I've played spiral knights for a while now because its such a great addicting game,, props to the creators :], but one thing that irritates me (just a lil bit i promise ;]) is the current mouse arrow HUD that guides the knight's facing direction...

First of all, I find it unnecessarily too big and concealing for its own good; I'm a gunner and tend to hover my HUD over monsters when taking shots, and I can't help but to notice that either big chunk or all of a monster's model is covered by the HUD and it bothers me..lol

Second, the arrow marking is misleading... as a gunslinger, I find that my shots always hit a little off from the tip of the arrow based on the direction I'm facing. (This is not a problem when I'm directly shooting north or south) I think this is probably because Spiral Knights interface is 3D stared from about 45 degree angle while the Arrow HUD is 2D stared from 90 degrees.

With that said, I want to suggest enabling customization for the default Arrow HUD... Preferably being able to change its SIZE and SHAPE (please..I'd rather have a simple circle or a dot than the current misleading arrow). Also please make it so that the shots actually land where I'm pointing instead of a little to the left or right.. (seriously, it'll help with hitting tiny monsters like mini jellys for gunners) Perhaps 3D Arrow HUD?? 8D

Let me know your thoughts on this :D
