Maybe for now we can switch back to arrow directions. They show the direction in a much clearer way. As of a211676dd944a46a7cc4a9e14f77e6775bdf300f, unfortunately, the arrows don't deal with overlapping directions too well. If two players in a group point in the same direction, one arrow will block the other and you won't be able to tell how many members are pointing in that direction. Direction lines handle this by stacking. They also don't show the color of the player's intent - but that's easy to add.
