Prey icons in the map
« on: May 26, 2016, 07:03:55 PM »
While searching for a goddamn monster cow, I thought <<if players have got a paw icon in the map, why not prey have another icon?>> I think this would be great because:

1- It would make finding rare prey (monster cow, skyscraper, etc) way easier, since you don't need to be checking the territory to find if one has spawned or not.

2- Finding common prey would be also easier.

3- Due to what I mentioned before, the quests wouldn't be as hard, mainly because their difficulty comes from finding the prey you need (it's harder if it's rare)

This function could be activated or deactivated with a button that would be next to the map.

So, what do you think? Share me your thoughts.

I think there is a reason why some prey are harder to find. The Monster Cow is for a quest handing out gold medals. It is supposed to be hard to find.

On the other hand, I do agree that common prey, which we need for a quest, could somehow appear on the minimap. Like... as bright green dots? Once you completed the quest, the dots would be gone from the minimap.

Well....
It's a quest LOL It's not meant to be a walk in the park. It's meant to make you work for your reward. I mean if we do that, we might as well just hand you your medals on a silver platter. However that would make everything virtually worthless soooooo

Also in doing that, if you, say, walk into Hidden Valley, I think any computer would crash because of the overload of prey in the map at 1 time

Yeah, having icons of prey does ruin the exploration part.

But, you can always make new suggestions! Suggestions are always up for comments, so it's okay if it's turn down. Maybe you'll think of a new one that actually might be implemented in the game?  ;)

Couldn't have worded it better. Suggestions are meant to be discussed, hence why this is the "discussion/Suggestion" Topic :)
