Guild Wars 2

I don’t want links on the map or in the right panel, but inside, in the property sheet for each daily, say ore from xxx, xxx, xxx or a specific event such as a dungeon would be SO helpful.

I am very directionally challenged – so trying to find some things on the maps even after five years is not exactly fun.

Simple change, codes already exist, it’s a quality of life change that is long overdue.

Learning names of maps and pressing M is so hard, indeed. /sarcasm

The gathering dailies already tell you which maps, if you click on them. The Mini-Dungeons, etc. already show you where they are on the map, if you click on them.

There’s always the Wiki if something isn’t already explained on the Daily UI.

Good luck.

And adding a quality of life item that is easily changed is going to hurt you how?

/Not Sarcasm.

I’ve never seen a daily “ore from map x”
Those dailies always include a whide part of the map, say “ore from ascalon”, “vista from orr” etc.
so what you want is basically a UI that tells you “vista from orr – orr includes the following maps: … – here’s where to find them: …”?

While I can appreciate being map dyslexic, the harvesting and vistas dailies are regions not singular maps, so they can’t really put a link for those.

Maybe make a list of what maps are in what regions? This site names the regions: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Region Clicking on one brings up the site with the map names and a picture of the region

Example
Ascalon. Has names of the maps near the bottom and this picture

Maybe it would help if you describe the maps to yourself as a group and learn where the groups are on the map

For myself, I use something like this
Ascalon: Charr area, brown maps on far right/east
Shiverpeaks: Norn, white maps
Kryta: Humans, green central maps
Maguuma jungle: both Asura and Sylvari maps, core Tyrian maps on far left/west and maps below Lions Arch
Orr: brown maps in the south

Use whatever description makes sense to you and remember them as a grouped area on your mental map of the world.

This is an ADA issue, not something that should be ignored.

Many of us are disabled who play this game.

We need to be heard and not marginalized.

“Learn” the maps"?

When some do not understand others’ disabilities it becomes necessary for someone to educate them on those disabilities.

I am disabled. I have no sense of direction.

I have a broken immune system – six pneumonias in eight years.

I am practically housebound – many times when I go out I become sick for days or weeks that isn’t ‘pneumonia’.

My genetic damage can’t be overcome by ‘learning’ which can’t happen in a brain damaged by medical personnel who abused medicines galore in sixty years. Genetics aside, I was medically abused by doctors who didn’t comprehend the drugs they were using on a very sick body with genetic damage.

If you don’t understand disability, I have no way to get you to understand that some of us can’t find Walmart without a gps – let alone ‘memorize’ maps even in a game we’ve been playing for five years straight.

I have some of my memory and brain function back after significant drug abuse by DOCTORS, but I can’t do directions, it’s a disability, not laziness.

GW2Navi can do that and then some more. Has GPS feature and you can get chat codes for waypoints and stuff. It is just an overlay that uses API so its not a “legal hack” like dps meters.
