Title: Map Markers
Post by: Don Andy on December 10, 2007, 07:15:37 am
One thing I was missing in the game were map markers of sorts. You know, little markers I could place on the map (and maybe attach a note to it), so I could marks "interesting spots" for return later on.
If this was left out on purpose however, because it'd make stuff to easy or something, just ignore me :p
Otherwise, it'd be cool to have this in a later version.

Actually, we used to have these in the game, but took them out.  Not because it made things too easy, but because it made the world map feel a bit cluttered with the rest of the tokens. :)

Hmmph - I was going to suggest the same thing. My thinking was little flags on the map that displayed tooltips when you do a mouse over. Limit the text to say 64 chars to avoid too much clutter. Right-click on map to add tooltip, right-click over an existing tooltip to remove it.

Yeah something like that would be perfect.  Something for a later patch maybe?

Oh, oh, maybe you can put it back in and include an "Toggle Marker" option, where the playermade markers get hidden or shown. That way, if it gets too cluttery for you, you can just hide the markers.

while we are on the topic of suggesting map markers, can we also have a toggle option to turn all of them off... (after you have played through some areas and you want to go back to explore its annoying seeing 50 circles on the minimap like in mithala...)
