Guild Wars 2

I don’t like them personally. They obscure important information, such as whether the point is being contested/captured, who is on that point, and how many people are there.

I know you can also see capture point status at the top of the screen, but the minimap was a much better way to keep track of that information because you coiuld also see everyone’s position: now all that information is hidden, because the event marker obscures the entire point and all the profession icons.

I appreciate the intent to guide newbies to where they need to go, but instead it just spawns all sorts of random places (capture points that your team is already capping uncontested, over minor 1v1s between points, and once right outside the enemy team’s spawn for me), so it completely fails at its intended goal AND makes reading the minimap harder.

If you guys wish to improve the minimap, please work on the bug whereby dead players are still shown on the map until they respawn instead.

You mean “Content Guide”? In the General tab? I had it set to default. Just logged in and disabled it. Are you saying the pvp map markers are turning up because of that? Was this intentional?
