attack dir by mouse movement reversal option

[ironpants]

The new attack direction by mouse movement feature is excellent. However, I would like an option to reverse the directional control. As a practicing swordsman, I think it's counter-intuitive the way it is now; an option for mouse movement to direct the ready stance of a given attack is enticing. It would somewhat simulate the double beat of a sword attack. Thanks for the awesome update!

Sounds nice to me, I actually was getting a lot of attacks backwards when I first tried it out.

I agree,

It would be pretty wicked to see an option to reverse the direction of your attacks when using the mouse movement option. Flicking your mouse right while pressing the attack button should ready a swing from the right, and vice versa. That would seem more natural to me, and would also imitate real life a little more accurately (twisting right to prepare a forehanded slash, etc). Same goes for overheads and thrusting: Mouse up would ready overhand swing, mouse down thrust.

It's specially weird on horses right now.

Completely agreed!
Please make it the first fix.

You mean an "Invert X axis" type command for the new mouse directional attacking thing?

Not only X, also Y. Complete reversal. Mouse movement should determine the direction you ready your weapon, not the direction your weapon swings.
