Hey All,

After searching forums, I haven’t come across a thread about Gathering Nodes (mine, harvest, chop) being shown on a map.
Out of curiosity how many people agree that Gathering Nodes should be shown on the map (currently the one your in) instead of a radius around your character?

Many will say that it takes away from the exploration of these nodes, but at the same time we all know that people go to sites like guild wars 2 wiki and just search the area anyways for the nodes. So instead of making it more work for people to Alt + Tab and try to memorize the area, why not have it presented to them on the current map?

I just want to know the communities opinion on this, so please feel free to provide a reasonable answer for myself and others, or feel free to discuss the matter.

Have a great day

They are on the minimap if you are in range, but I don’t think they’ll ever make it to the main map because it would be too easy to manipulate and exploit. /shakefistathackers

AN might let us do a third party app to add an overlay (like textmod cartographer one) at some stage, but don’t hold your breath.

I would pretty much agree with what you said. Let it be in the mini-map and not in main map. Also, it takes away the fun while exploring and finding them after each updates.

I agree to both of you and was expecting somewhat those answers.

Would you think a step in the right direction would be to allow the player to purchase and item (buff/boon, kinda like food/potions) that will reveal the current map nodes for 30 min or an hour? or maybe a booster that can be found or bought that applies the same effect?

or do you feel maybe an increase of radius?

A boon that shows nodes on map? Erm… I know that spell! How did it go…

/map Hi! Could any noble soul link the locations of Ori nodes this week? Thanks!

It seems people are happy with the way it is now, I guess I gotta stop being lazy and find them all by exploring. It was indeed interesting to hear the inputs of a few on this topic.

Thanks for all your input guys and gals.
