Guild Wars 2

On the minimap, the orange swords, gears, and other event icons appear along the edge when they spawn so you know something is nearby.

The new update added spores, and you have to clear one per map, but you can’t just play and glance at the minimap because the orange icon doesn’t appear along the edge like the others.

This should be fixed so you don’t need to look at the full ‘m’ map and can play just glancing at the minimap along the edge like you do with swords, gears, etc.

Well while this will be really convinient, i doubt they will do it.

It’s the functionality of all other minimap icons, someone implementing this new one didn’t link it to the same functionality.

It should have the same functionality, and the devs should fix it as well as keep this in mind for future updates that add map icons.

Still has a huge effect on people going to maps and looking around for spore events.. they can currently NOT see them appear by glancing at their minimap which is unfortunate. Should be simple for casual players to notice as well as those looking for various reasons (like completing the title of doing one on each map).

It’s a good and simple fix.

Also, it would be nice if you could put a border around these icons so that they stand out for those of us who are colorblind.
