Here PGI I whipped this up in MS paint in less than 5 minutes........ Its a concept for Icons that still show us the direction of mechs while also showing us the new way you want to identify mech classes on the minimap. Im sure your professional artists can make something similar that actually looks good.

Uses the same system you thought up. Empty for Light, Vertical line for Medium, Horizontal Line for heavies and a cross for assaults.

I see. PGI probably could whip something up as well. There was a reason they didn't. Go back to the town hall and actually listen this time. He explains exactly why they removed the direction indicator.

Or maybe icons like these.

Yeah there was some bs about it being taxing on the servers. No reason to eliminate functioning mechanics, find a fix or create a viable alternative. And also if they plan on adding features into our info tech to compensate for the garbage they put out they should have waited and launched the new crap WITH those features in place instead of breaking the game and leaving us playing an inferior product from the day before.

And if English isn't your language?

Oops?

I mean, I don't know how much work would be involved for them to tie the HUD markers to the language selector, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that they could make the letters appropriately reflect the language.

It's preferable to use symbols in a graphical image instead of alphabet letters.

The dorito crutch is gone oh no !

Harder to play lame corner poking oh no !

I must be the only one that thinks this makes the game more exciting for a slight increase in difficulty
