A quick suggestion

Post » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:49 pm

I'm new here so I don't know if this has been suggested yet, but how much trouble would it be to change the color of objective points when looking at the map? It would make finding quest locations far easier. It could be like a deep red or blue. Here's an mock example I just created:

How it is now:

How it could be (red):

How it could be (blue):

It's a small thing, but when you get a lot of locations discovered, it can be a chore to find sometimes and this shouldn't be too hard to patch. Although after looking at the mock ups, perhaps a light red or blue would be better?

When you select the topic in your journal and then use the Map option, it zooms you to the spot. Doesn't it do that for you? I like the color red idea too but if that doesn't happen, yours should still take you to the objective spot.

Welcome! and that is a good idea, i have found pretty tough trying to follow an objective icon when it looks like the others, though, the blue won't work because your personal icon is a blueish color, but the Red would work perfectly. that is a really good idea. and again, welcome!
