Make POI always visible on map (after discovery).
Call me crazy, call me weird but I'd prefer to have all my points of interest being always visible on both the minimap and the overlay map after exploration.
By POI i mean for example, strongboxes, rituals, breach openers etc as well as and most importantly any item that I've specified on my loot filter to have an icon. Currently all of these have their own "radius" for when to show them or not, which is something that I don't understand why but in any case I don't agree with. There's been plenty of times that I purposely ignore to pick up loot since I'm going from one pack to the other (without really being it my intention) and I prefer to keep it moving to not die, or doing a breach or delirium in which we (I guess all of us) run like crazies left and right killing mobs and leaving all of our loot on the floor. I also some times might find a breach opener for example somewhere in the map but I'd prefer to do it after I clear all of the map to avoid an accidental death. There's been times that I've been searching for the opener for I don't even know how long haha after I cleared everything. In both of the above cases, since we've already explored the area so there's no "fog" there any more, why can't we just keep the icons on the minimap permanently? It might be beneficial in my opinion to have this as a setting under the Map section in case others don't like a cluttered map overall ( at least I hope that I didn't miss a setting already... haha ).

I remember the days before such maps, where we determined which way to go by actually reading signs...

" Not sure at all what you mean by this or how it is an either agreeing or disagreeing comment. |

I would only be ok with this in the same sense that rares show up when you hit below a certain mob density. Having everything shown to you and knowing exactly where to go defeats the exploration part of running maps. Now if you get down to 100 mobs and you havent discovered a delerium mirror by then (which happening to me I cleared an entire map and never found it) then by all means pop it up on the mini map

" As I mentioned it's after opening the fog/explored the area that the POI exists in etc. So basically if you walk by a ritual but choose to not do it for now, you always have the icon to remember where it was so you can walk back there. Currently the icon hides itself when you walk a couple of meters away from it. In some maps that are huge and like a labyrinth, it's not easy to remember where you need to go back to. I'm in no way suggesting to reveal anything hidden, I'm suggesting to keep the icon showing if you've already discovered it. Edit: I edited the title of the post to also make it a bit more clear from the get go :) . Last edited by mrxkon#5764 on Dec 31, 2024, 3:41:33 PM

" +1 this option then. It really is annoying to discover it clear the map then try and remember where everything was |
