i dont like it, but im not going to stop playing because of it. you really need a mech relative reference, because it makes it easier to figure out which way to turn to face a nearby enemy. this requires you to stop and do a linear transformation in your head just to figure out where to go.

i think this is one of those situations where we need to kidnap russ, tape him to a chair, put a computer in front of him and make him play MWLL and other mechwarrior games until he gets it. not to take this the wrong way (last time i made a comment like this i got accused of staff abuse) but he really needs to take a look at ways that have worked in the past, rather than play keep up with the joneses (wot). its mechwarrior, it should look like mechwarrior, it should feel like mechwarrior.

speakind of mwll it actually gave you both a minimap and a radar proper. looking at my screen there is room for both. stop designing huds like everyone is still uses 4:3 monitors. slap the old radar in right next to the minimap and you got it fixed. or better yet do that and improve the old radar with the new icons.

AND LOOSE THE GORRAM PIXELATED RASTER ICONS FFS! vector icons only. that arrow has got to go. how hard is it to draw a vector icon in the shape of an arrow?

New minimap makes CW even more unplayable.

BUT BUT the new PROMO video!? Doesn't it make you want to play? Its so misleading! Isn't it great!

The makers of this game gotta be trolling if they gonna remove the ability to use the seismic sensor module by removing the old minimap which gave indications when lights were behind heavies.
I don't even believe they are this stupid.. they are just trolling just to show gamers they have never ever wasted their life on playing games like the one they are selling.
Anyone who used the module knows the minimap is used for that module..
but the makers of the game looked past that for some unknown reason that clearly looks like pure trollingmoves towards the costumers.

No vitriol please, this is just a simple list of everyone who will not be playing until something is changed with the current state of the minimap. There's a billion topics already of people arguing and detailing why they think this is broken or isn't. This thread however is just to get a count of people who feel this is not just a bad idea, but a gamebreaking change. Let me know if you want your name added.

The List:
smokytehbear
razenwing
tenchugecko
Cizjut
Hotthedd
Triordinant
Storyteller
Frechdachs
KBurn85

Who are any of these people and why should I care?

..........Why not give us the option in the first place?

Make the new one default, but give us the option to revert to the old minimap.

This x1000. I'm sure everyone listed would be happy to return if this was added.

Is this the entitled cry baby list?

Sure if that makes you feel better. It's more like exactly how it's worded and described though. Nice troll attempt.

People that up until today were still playing and (guessing here, but probably) to some degree, paying for this dying game.

I have no idea why you personally should care though. Would be sort of presumptuous of me to assume I know what you're thinking.

[M T]

Add me to it.

More for the reason of the picture under here, but idc anymore.

Add me too...
I'll be on my island
Isn't this kinda thing what the public test server is for? But then again i reckon that would require actually listening to feedback from your consumers.

[Bolt-Thrower]

add Xantacha....BTW...I like razenWing's post about the new mini map....it is spot on. I would like to add that the new mini map is the BattleGrid map, why put it somewhere twice?
Also check this post from Kyle Travis....he does a great job of explaining the problem as well...the mini map should take less than a second to get the info I need for the immediate fight....it shouldn't be a work of art:

Sadly...Add me. That's just bad design (yes I did some design). And who ever sad.. "cry baby" you apparently did not put any money into the game and do not deserve to have an opinion.

[Ovion]

I used the mini map to guide my legs.
That's how I learnt to play.
I was so confused when trying to walk around the map.

Count me in. (or out?)
