I don't understand why this change needed to take place. This isn't world of tanks and it doesn't need to be.

Add a separate mini battle grid on the screen if they really want to, but don't remove one of the core features that everyone uses.

Can't even tell where seismic pings are so no point in bringing that.

Glad that the tournament client is still playable

[arkani]

his is the most idiotic thing to come out of PGI ( and they have done a lot of idiotic stuff)
But breaking what was working is simply beyond idiotic.

[Duncan Aravain]

The new minimap is almost worthless. So crowded and blurred details: thought I dropped on Frozen, actually map helped if I was somewhere in Kansas. Doesn't PGI have any internal vetting of new features that includes actual players?

[Yellonet]

PGI, please don't listen to these nubs. Give it a few weeks so that they may learn and appreciate the pros of this new map.
All this whining is just a sign that some are too dependant on the minimap.

[impar]

Played around 10 games. My head hurts.
This might be fine for someone who does nothing all day, but after a day of work its a chore.

This game has become a chore.

I wonder how many bans are going to come from this. HATE new mini map. It actually has detracted my enjoyment of looking over the rescales and other new features.

[Madcap72]

Put it in the feedback thread, in the feedback forum, where feedback goes.

New Mini Map sucks so hard, it made me feel all dyslexic, please give us old map, hotfix hotfix,hotfix!

[Rhialto]

Yes a new thread, need as many as possible...

2 matchs with new minimap and I'm totally disoriented now. It used to move around our pointer so I was quickly able to turn face an enemy now it is very confusing.

Please make it rotate like before!

New look is ok, icons a bit small.

Hope you can quicly revert back or something... there is an event going on I must complete!

Just played a match on Polar.

There the map is literally a white featureless circle.
Which is the total opposite of any definition of what a map is.

Fine, if the facing of the arrows on the old mini map was to powerful nerf that.

But is being able to navigate without getting lost to powerful too?

At least give us a MAP without any player info so that we can see where we are going.

For tactic there is Battlegrid. For piloting - old mini map. At old mini map should be easily implemented new capabilities, like showing us where our teammate calling support. NEARBY teammate. I don't need to know that in the second corner of map my teammate calls help. If I should be able to help, I have to do it fast, before teammate will be done. Fast means near the place I am at that moment. NEAR, so old mini map was PERFECT for everything new mini map offers! Just because there is still Battlegrid! Dammit, if you haven't used Battlegrid before, you shouldn't be forced to do it now by watching new mini map!

[Triordinant]

The minimap is totally ******. It no longer turns with you so it's completely disorienting -and the symbols are so ******* small you can't tell the difference between an Assault and a Light unless you full screen the minimap and only an idiot would do that in the middle of a fight.

How about just reversing this horrible design decision? The old map worked.

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

Yes exactly what I wrote in my thread.

[WarHippy]

3rd person view removes the mini-map and allows you to see your orientation. Problem solved!

[Treehunter]

New Mini Map is bad put old mini map back please.

[tenchugecko]

dont fix the game by using desorientating map reading.

What you mean with that?
Why should somebody be banned due to the new minimap?

[Novakaine]

Stop Johnny just one word of even feigned like will cause PGI to claim it's work.
And everyone just loves it.
