Grog Grueslayer Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'd like to see a way to place markers on the map with a small note that can be read when the mouse moves over it. The ability to add notes will help in not only exploring (buildings that you've been) but remembering points of interest like veins of ore, or ammunition boxes you run across. A few different colored flags or symbols to choose from so they don't have to always put the mouse over the map marker to read the note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ghostrider Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Agreed, that would definitely be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeforall Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It would indeed be a nice feature, and it helps you remember why a certain location was imporant again. This idea has my fullest support! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilarium Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Supported. Was thinking about this just yesterday when I was looking at the map trying to remember if I searched a certain building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajbass Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Definitely a really good idea! Would love this to be implemented +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBodet Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Signed. Something that doesn't show on the compass like the waypoint (which is a great tool, don't remove it) that we can put as many as we like with a small note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheevers Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 +1. I would use it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbound Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thumbs up for this idea! You could click a waypoint on the map to activate compass tracking to it. Another nice touch would be that when you select a password for a safe or storage chest, you could also enter a description for the contents of the box that would show when you mouse over it-> "Storage chest (cooking) unlocked" It would save all the door slamming that drives me bananas when several people are all trying to find whatever they need :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharen Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Definitely. It would also be useful in PVP servers as in "avoid this area" if there's a hostile group of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ircmaan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I make waypoints with special color blocks. Press "Z", "all blocks" and go to page 5. In the first line there is 4 or 5 color blocks: magenta, blue etc. I can place 1 block, or 4, or 9 (square): the more blocks - the more important this place.

Lilysyn Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I love this idea to mark a note of what you found in that location, but I think it will work better if we are able to zoom out of the main map more. Right now we have very little room to zoom out and it makes it difficult to look at places we have discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zin Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I NEED this. Both the map marker and zooming issue to be fixed. please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targa Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Bump. +1. Better yet, just let us enter text next to an icon (chosen from a list), and let use delete or edit them as we go. Waypoint for compass is done by selecting the icon, text read out after day/time shows the text associated with the active way point. Simples.

CapPimpolho Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It makes total sense to be able to make notes to the maps. Currently you can pin one location and that's it... but if we think of a more realistic usage of the map, we could be able to add notes to make our lives and exploration easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorwynD Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I agree. The map is so huge now (endless) that it's not easy/near impossible to find your way back to a previously visited location. I tried mapping If you could save/export the uncovered portions of the map as a jpg that would be something, but map marker and being able to zoom out more would help.

Mikeforall Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Indeed, in the random world you could get completely lost without those markers, especially if you got interests lying below the surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
