Pointers, Speech Bubbles, Thinking Bubbles etc.

Hi guys, a feature I would like to see is expanding on the ping. I think pinging is okay but it is sluggish and does not look good. It would be nice to be able to point at things with an arrow for all players to see and have speech bubbles/thinking bubbles that you can use to highlight which charater is speaking when you talk (as is possible in MapTools). I know you can set yourself as a character but that feature is also very underwhelming when speaking and not just typing. Let me know what you think :) Have a nice day.

Bump, this needs to happen. Straight up, one of the most influential DMs does such a thing and it really brings to life the tokens and situations regarding rp. Cuts down talking over one another and I believe it would be relatively easy to implement.

Besides Shift-Ping to force focus on certain area, I never use ping because with it you cannot pinpoint with accuracy and ping goes away in a few seconds whereas ruler can be made to stick and stay there for longer in case anyone was watching away.
