Mouse over ally (and more)

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback
1

Hello Grim Dawn devs (hope you guys are reading this actually),

I haven’t been playing very long (around level 33) but here’s some things I think can improve the early game (or the game in general).

Is there any plans on changing the mouse over ally thing to not cancel attacks or spells? I Google’d this and the last I saw of this was a thread back in 2014 or so saying that it was going to be fixed. It’s difficult to attack any enemies as a ranged player whenever a group of allies swarm a boss or something else. From what I understand (though I haven’t really noticed it myself) it also happens when you hover over items on the ground too. If there is no friendly fire (or if it’s disabled or something), why can’t I shoot with my cursor over my allies?

Additionally, I think a sort of encylopedia in game would be nice. As far as I can tell, there isn’t any sort of manual explaining things like item rarity, what “chance on attack” means and how it procs, how exp is shared amongst allies (do killing blows get more exp, do you get more exp when your allies aren’t around, etc.)

Game stats would also be nice to see. I killed X number of skeletons, bees, whatever else. How much DPS am I doing compared to my allies?

Would also like an option to auto pick up components (and possibly even loot rarities). Would also like an option for gear picked up to go to secondary bags first.

Yes, since there are no targeted healing spells or stuff I really hope allies can simply be made non-highlightable like your own char. It really hampers group play.

Some more QOL changes I would like to see. Let us bind move to left mouse (or right mouse) instead of having LMB be the thing that does attacks, movement and item interaction. As of right now, playing range characters suck. You can’t shoot when your teammates are near enemies and you can’t really run around when fleeing a boss without shooting the barrel across the room (my cursor nowhere near it either).

I tried going into the keybinds but “Move” is bound to “A” by default I think and it won’t register to any mouse buttons. I would simply like to run around without taking pop shots at a mob while my character is getting reamed by a boss (and also shoot when my cursor is over an ally).

Move to is an option on the LMB already. Just right click on it and select it.
