Hotfix was released too quickly. Minimap was released in a way they knew the community would hate so they could "hotfix" to a more acceptable middleground.

If they released the minimap in the patched state everyone would just be complaining about missing the doritos and there would be a huge outcry to fix something that they did not want to be part of this iteration. However, a FUBAR minimap outraged the community and most of you accept the "hotfix" as an acceptable compromise.

Discuss.

***BTW, personally great job on the minimap. I like how it turned out after the dust settled. Will be really cool if we see features like dorito recognition from modules/abilities/weapons.***

They are too dumb. Much too dumb for tinfoils like that.

[Clownwarlord]

For those who cry about doritos are just lazy and wanted to know if it was safe to go around a corner without actually looking, around the corner for them-self.

Someone pointed this out to me last night and it makes sense. The reason they were able to get the hotfix out so quickly is because they had been working on it since the Town Hall when they revealed the new minimap and had such a negative backlash even then, before patching the game.

More often than not people are too scared to actually poke their head out.

I have to admit i did wonder if the mini map drowned out complaints on rescale

Problem with most tinfoil hat theories is that they grossly overestimate competence and strategic capability of the parties involved



Like for example with ISIS, which is surrounded by many tin foil theories, blaming every possible side, however more tangible proof (wiki leaks and hacked emails of a certain presidential candidate) indicate it was merely a side-effect of a plan to prevent Iran from getting Syria on it's side by fueling a civil war there.

This tin foil hat theory holds water. Everyone knows if a tin foil hat is water tight, its invulnerable to being proven wrong.

..but, yeah. PGI is cut off. Between constantly screwing up, breaking things that aren't broken and removing features from players just so they can sell them back to us.. I ain't giving those jerks another dime.

just turn it around no tinfoilhta is waterproof because its not being a hat if so. And so it's ability to be proven wrong is simply a matter of perspective.

I love the new mini map, not the hot fix mini map. I like the new one because I can see the entire map. I also would urge PGI to build their maps now to fill the entire mini map screen. I also would like to see it a little bigger in the hud.

[BaconTWOfourACTUAL]

I actually like this MM better than the original.

I don't care which direction enemy is facing, as I check regardless... I just like the fact that it orients itself to your direction.

[RedDragon]

I have to go with the first answer after OP. Can't really see that they could be bothered to actually think such a plan through.

At some point people will learn to start listening for enemy foot falls again. Used to be a common skill before seismic wallhack came along. Now it's basically a lost art.

It's much more diabolical than that. Frito Lay came after PGI for using Doritos in the orginal mini-map, so PGI has to change it.

It's even MORE diabolical than that! PGI is being extorted by Big Chip!
