Guild Wars 2

I have noticed that the island numbers for the final fight in Dragon Stand do not show up on the mini map…ever. I’ve checked my settings and don’t see anything odd there.

When actually involved in the fight, I can usually see only the island number of the one or two closest islands to where I am standing. But even with extended distance enhancement none of the farther ones seem to show up at all either.

I tend to depend on the mini map for clues but I do not understand why the island numbers don’t show up at all on the mini map. Was this an oversight?

Also I noticed that the numbering system appears to be similar to Golden/Fibonacci spirals. These links actually have fairly interesting explanations of each.

Fibonacci spiral: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

But it certainly would be much nicer if Anet had included the island numbers in the mini map…after all they add the red arrows and lines of direction for the fighting, so why not the numbers?
