Edit Reason: addendum
)
action bars should absolutely be only visible to the player and not to other people whatsoever
i genuinely dont think i need a visible action bar above someones head to figure out if someone is mopping the floor or not
it also fucks with stealth and i dont really want other players to know if im about to do this ability or that ability unless for wizards, spells should absolutely be obvious to someone compared to say, a vampire hypno
addendum :
based on the other servers i go to, id say the best way to go about it is have three ways of actions
1. an action sequence where its not inherently clear to others and therefore the action bar is only shown to you
2. an action sequence where it is somewhat clear to others, but needs a bit of looking closely and be in visible light (a new loading icon should probably be done for this, or something clever codewise or holding down the examine key)
3. an action sequence where you should be shitting yourself when you see this, where the action bar is shown to everyone. eg. werewolf or abom transformation
pivoting the topic onto a somewhat hypocritical suggestion, it would also be nice if there would be more sprite offsets when doing certain actions though
such as the player sprite offsetting itself towards a corpse on aggressive grab, and on choke
or when mopping a tile, the player sprite moves towards the tile being mopped then returns
