Fell free to post your map improvement ideas here…

-More distinct icons for completed and not completed hero points.

-Transparent map overlay while playing.

-Zone event “dots” (like party and guild member dots) for ALL map zone events going on. Currently we only have the “within radius” event circles.

-Option to lock on what surface level you want when opening and closing the map.

change the title to unofficial thank you, seeing you are not a dev.

I’m okay with the word “official” in the title, but I think there needs to be a “suggestions” in there somewhere, rather than just “improvements”. I’m glad somebody started an “official” post for this cause I was admittedly creating multiple posts for various map suggestions.

My suggestions:

1. When going in and out of map mode, leave the map exactly where I dragged it rather than panning back to where I am. Sometimes I’m looking at another zone and I need to switch back out of map to fight a monster than attacks me, and when I go back into map it’s pointing to where I am again. Keep it where I looked before and provide a ‘home’ button to show me where I am.

2. As I said in another post, show banners and feasts on the map.

3. As I said in another post, show all events in the current map, especially if you’re going to pop up the “New Event Nearby” message.

4. If your guildie is in your party, display their yellow dot anywhere on the map, not just in close proximity.

5. In the HOT maps, always display the up/down arrows on map icons, not just when you get close.

6. Once you discover a node on your mini-map, keep displaying it on your big map until you harvest it or leave the map.

7. Show the first three letters of a player’s name near their dot on the map, so you can tell who is who without having to disengage from action cam and move your mouse over their dot.
