Pick one, please.

My biggest suggestion at this point is that the "Help" and "Enemy Spotted" commands from the command wheel need to add the map coordinates, at least in the entry they make in text chat, preferably in the dialog for it as well.

The map change was OK, but needed work. It needed to be zoomable, and it was a pain losing field of view and direction arrow. The fixed map coord markings on the edge of the map was actually an improvement. The map after the hotfix is a good compromise between the two.

Ye, like "Help! @ E4"
Would be nice for the Friendly "Dorito" to have some sort of help icon in it as well. Quick glance at your teammates, and you already know who is in need.

Yep, exactly the type of thing I was talking about.

I hate the new minimap.

I hate the new minimap icons.

I do, however, like the command wheel.

The best idea I've seen, thusfar, is to merge the old icons with the new ones. Have icons that tell you what weight class a mech is as well as telling you the direction.

The lower tiers are really suffering without friendly doritos. They're walking in front of each other much more often, backing up into each other more often and just generally having no idea of the spacial relationship between them and their team mates.

FP coordination has dropped, as it isn't easy anymore to form a perfect fireline and, when the enemy is finally spotted, the diamonds are hollow and difficult to see and many people don't even notice them.

Also, if your sensors can detect the exact armor values of an enemy mech's front armor and back armor, your sensors should know which way they're facing.. or we wouldn't even have a lock-on system.

..eh, it's not like we can change Russ' mind on anything, though. He wasted invested time and money to make this abomination downgraded minimap and he's going to shove it down our throats no matter what we want.

..but I won't ever consider giving them one cent, again. This week, they stole my doritos.. what will they come to steal, next?

How about make teammate mech locations standard in chat? The command wheel already shows a visible chat message along with the audio command. Why not just show the grid location next to a teammates name in chat?
