I concur wholeheartedly with the topic starter

[RoToR]

So we are piloting the ultimate tech machine, an hypermegaarmoredsqueleton with weapons to level a building, neurally conected to the pilot to use mental interface as a reply to body control and movement... and then PGI gave us a sextant to navigate with it.
Facepalm, indeed.

[DAEDALOS513]

UTTERLY CLUELESS. PLAY YOUR GAME PGI OR TAKE ADVICE FROM PEOPLE THAT DO!

[That guy from the other day]

There is nothing I can say that already hasn't been said. The new MiniMap is bad, orientation is disorienting, scale makes positioning useless, playing support is difficult, scouting is pointless, seismic is useless, even removing the direction arrows is a massive nerf to the lights. We get it PGI, you hate light mechs. Bravo.

Therefore I refuse to play until some variant of the old map is reinstated.

I suggest others do the same.

[Luxy]

Just in case PGI is keeping count, I also am unhappy with the new map for all of the reasons given before.

I am surprised, but this change has me seriously considering finding a new game.

I don't know which is more frustrating. The new map or the inevitable "git gud" response criticism towards it draws.

[hapellis]

This is NOT a mini-map, it is the entire map. It neither zooms nor rotates so you cannot orient yourself with it. Compressing the entire map into an 8x8 grid means the map squares are to big to be used as rally points. Seismic is totally useless. Please unfix this back to an actual mini-map or give us back the old map (preferred)

[Mongo the Misanthrope]

This situation is so incredible that I am making my first forum post in 3 years of playing. This map has destroyed my enjoyment of this game. I suggest you fix it or you will lose a lot of players (myself included).

[Rotteck Koempel]

the new minimap is for the ash!!!!!!!
useless and without help!!!

Want the old one back!!!!

[Elias Baley]

Who was the ONE that changed the minimap????

New minimap is useless

- the new minimap does not rotate relative to your mech bearing
- there is no field of view indicator as there used to be


All complains are true. PLEASE RETURN OLD MINIMAP or you will lose another player

Usually I am with you PGI with most changes you did in the past but his time:
Please revert the changes done to the minimap!!!
Name says MINI-map not Whole-Map-on-small-scale

[InsaneRotta]

Whose idea was the new minimap anyway? Who requested that it should be changed? I rarely get mad at people, but the person responsible for this piece of p*op would receive a proper berating from me...

[MilkAndWookies]

Mini map is totally useless and confusing. No way to zoom in. hard to tell where you are on map. This is awful. The "B" map gave me the information before. Why change the minimap????

[Heckler1]

Hi. I've never posted on the forum before, but I just had to make a post right now to register my displeasure with the new mini-map.

Please fix it so I can zoom in on it, and so it rotates like the old one used to do. Thank you.

Alternatively, please add an on/off alternative. I just can't play with it like it is now. It confuses more than it helps.

I've never been so close to rage-quitting a game before.. until now we were used to one, maybe two bad changes at a time.. but SO MANY all at once (lights the size of mediums, frozen city now LRM city, mini-map that makes you feel like your drunk).. they've lost money today, which I'm calling BLACK-TUESDAY, and I've never feared more for the future of this game.

[LTDominator]

NO NO NO WTF?
seismic cost 6 damn billions and is now useless. leg positioning information is lost, that compass thing is not in my visual so the orientation on the map is completely lost for me. last but not least i got motionsickness! still try to not puke...

i can hardly live with the other changes but in this state the game is unplayable and thats not acceptable.

first turning this game into "sniper of duty", then long tom and now this ****...
im done with MWO forever, good bye

Hotfix please!

[ViralMag]

Been playing around with it some more but the whole tactical feel especially as a light pilot with seismic sensor you could get a sense on who was around you and which way they were focusing by the directional mech icons.

It was very intuitive for me to pick up the old system in the 1-2 months I have been playing that tactical feel is what is missing from the minimap now. Frankly if you can't fix it to a semblance of what it was give us the option to just toggle the minimap off, it is just that useless its too small to give grid coordinates from when spotting frankly its DOA at this point.

[Ian G]

This is the first time after a patch, but i am really considering to stop playing this game. I have no idea where i go, where i am or what is going on.

Also i get a headache from playing. So please give us the option for the old minimap. Or else i physically can't play this game anymore.

[VONDO]

Holy Crap the new mini map is bad!. Insanely bad! How on earth did that make it through the meetings? It's WAY too small. How would seismic even show up? And it doesn't orient to the way you are facing? Screw the command wheel if this is what it costs. I'll look for a hot fix before I come back. Yuck

[Destero]

The minimap is possesed by an unholy demon and has to be purified by a young priest and an old priest!
