Seconded. Was there a concrete reason for removing the distance indicator? The impression I got was that it was unintentional, and hadn't yet been restored.

Yeah, I heard it was an oversight and was told it would return. Why was it removed? Why do we need to vote on it now to get it back?

It was a bug, and it's been fixed in 1.6.4, which will probably be out next week.

yeah. I do love how things seem to go lately... you remove something because it's easier than actually fixing the bugs, then we have to campaign for the same basic functionality back. And next you'll call it an additional new feature. :rolleyes:

We're on... 1.6.4 now? And I don't see the numbers... and time travel is really screwing with my head! Anyway, yeah yeah yeah I hope to see it back. :)

I remember one time teleports were broken and I was gonna visit my chum Gwyneth Llewelyn, and then I was like "I'M COMING GWYNGWYNGWYN!" and so I headed, with flightbooster on, full throttle ahead across 6000 m.

It was delish.

See my other thread about the inaccuracies in it...

Basically, it measures from the camera to the target, not from the avatar to the target.
