Thanks for more excellet feedback Ilazki. I've added and updated all your issues in the bug database.
On the camera: We have tried a lot of different camera modes including the always behind and we just couldn't stop people feeling seasick, we even did a first-person version (which was great but required all the gamplay to be rewritten so we dropped it). Like a lot of things it always about balancing features and actually delivering the game.
Once again, thanks for taking the time.

Out of curiosity, were they getting seasick playing that way with a controller, with a mouse, or both? It seems like the kind of thing that might work better with a mouse, though the turning speed might still make it sickening for some. People used to playing first/third person shooter type games with KB/mouse are probably more accustomed to quick turning, like that.
To better explain why I even requested it: with mouse/KB, the current scheme is great for the combat, but feels clunky for platforming, so I was trying to think of a workaround. One idea might be to have a keybind that, when held down, makes the mouse control the camera at a lower speed than the normal player movement. That way you could have the current control scheme by default, but hold a key (right mouse by default) to temporarily lock player orientation and take control of the camera (at a lower speed) instead. If you've ever played World of Warcraft or any number of other MMOs, this should sound familiar, since they do something similar. That would improve mouse/KB platforming but still keep the current scheme for combat, where it works well.
Once again, thanks for taking the time.
No problem, just trying to help. That's what I requested the key for. :D When I see that someone's trying to make a Linux game right instead of releasing half-broken garbage and ignoring bug reports (ARK), I like to help however I can.
I see what you're saying actually, I think we might have neglected the mouse/kb controls a little here. It's a very good point. I do remember the control scheme from WoW that you're describing. I've added this to be bug database, we'll think it over and prototype somethings. Once again, thanks , you're a star.
