Guild Wars 2

I’ve been watching some casted PvP matches on YouTube now that we have observer mode. One thing I’ve noticed: due to the compression artifacts and the busyness of the minimap background, it is nearly impossible to gather any information from the minimap.

I think it would be great if there were an option to use solid color backgrounds (maybe one shade for walkable areas, another for walls, like StarCraft’s minimap) so it is possible to see where players are.

Also during PvP I’d rather have the minimap locked and centered. Right now one has to zoom out quite a lot to see the whole map and then things become so tiny that it’s hard to make out the whereabouts of your teammates.

Not to mention playing with interface small.
The only time you get a good view of the match is when you are mid
