At the very least it needs to rotate with your direction, AND show your legs vs your torso, like it used to.

Yeah that would fix it. BUT let us play with the patch for some weeks before going ballisitcs. Alot of volcanic activity on the forums now...

where are my vertigo pills?

[Vladokapuh]

I now constantly feel like... dazed, confuzed, and blinded. My situational awareness is really bad now.
I really relied on the mini map during combat. This is terrible, and my entire hype for this patch got killed by new minimap in about 5 games.

[Hotthedd]

As players I suppose we will need to adapt.

From now on I only go north.

I meant motion sickness......

in case you don't speak latin

it is not a bug it is a FEATURE
and besides PGI knows best always.
I wonder if the people producing these ideas have ever played the game????????

[Mr Snrub]

Do you know who comes up with an "improvement" like this: someone who never played the game.

Worst change in the 18 month I'm playing.

[-Vompo-]

I would rather have no minimap at all and just use the full screen one instead. This new minimap is a lame joke.

Exactly my opinion (and play time).

Mini Map need to be fixed. Does PGI ever play test?

[Paigan]

Before the patch I thought I would hate it.
But now, after trying it out in a few matches ... I'm certain I hate it.

And I can justify it:

It's a constant switch between relative direction and absolute direction when looking down on the Minimap.
Before, it was a 1-to-1 transition.
Now, you have to orient yourself:
- Where am I on the map?
- Where am I facing and what does that mean on the minimap?


I think the complete minimap is a good idea, BUT: as a second mode. Optional. On demand. For a strategic overview. I actually missed that in MWO sometimes.
But not as a replacement for the tactically far superior old map.


Make it optional. Don't destroy your game.

Yours first sentense make me scary about your healthy. Second explain everything Great idea. But much better is stop playing MWO before fix. The PGI just have to see the statistic go down and nobody wants to play with this sick thing, called "new mini map".

[Patzer]

the new mini map sucks it reminds me of the old battle ship game. it was good for that but not for here give me the old mini map. B12 I sunk your battle ship Baaa

[Chemical Hazard]

The new minimap needs to stop. Now.

Well new heatscale should go to the test server first. Kudos to PGI for that.
But changes to a tactially vital tool such as the minimap.. noooo.... no testing required.

Do they ever?

Yes they did... they used it heavily to do a big requirkeing last year, which was a good thing
because we (the community) could actually take part in vital changes to the game.
They also want to use it for the new heat scale, which is again a good idea to do.
