Guild Wars 2

i dont see a reason why minimap should have character in middle, while having half of the map outside of minimap, and other half is just white. id like to see static minimap where i see all of the map at the same time.

I can see good and bad in this. On one hand, players usually care about what’s near to them and beneficial to them in the area. The player-centric mini-map accomplishes this and is very easy for anyone to glance at and know where they are and what’s around them. On the other hand, a static mini-map that shows the full zone is more tactical and can help players more easily see what their team is up to, and how to most efficiently move about the map. However, it’s much harder to zero in on your particular area, and would be difficult for players to utilize until they’re very familiar with the map.

Options are always good.

In another MMORPG I always had a static map with player names displayed (and party/guild members in different colors).

It was convenient. I liked it.
