Hi. I am new to the game. Played 4 times and starting to enjoy the game however, I think it could benefits from basic improvements.
1.) When on mount, it would be nice to have an "Follow the Road/Trail" feature since it is a large map. Similar to Assassins creed. Or perhaps, having way-points, that are selectable on the map for the AUTO-RIDE. Between Nodes, but able to dis-mount whenever.
2.) The night sky is wonderful, but seems like the scaling is off and difficult to see most of the time unless you look directly up. IT would be nice to see the sky more clearly and widely.
3.) The controls are decent, but would be nice to be able to move the mouse and it moves the screen without having to click and hold to move the screen.

Night sky is probably another 'place holder', but right fully so optimizing the games graphics isn't a concern right now unless it's game breaking.
I wouldn't want my mouse to move my camera without right clicking. Adding a toggle options or an always on option in settings would be okay. I click stuff on my screen more than I move my camera.
Addressing 1.). What I'd like to see is public transport via horse and carriage. I believe we had something like that in Archeage. The ability to continue moving while being able to step away from the PC for a moment is a pleasant addition. There should probably be some drawbacks. Ideas: Routes are only between neighboring cities, or up to a few cities away and thus don't allow you to cross the entire continent afk. Of course speeds are lower than what mounts would offer.
Auto travel is a popular option, even in other sandboxes with large worlds like Eve-online. But there is always a drawback and even potential danger for death.
