Writing on YOUR MAP, not everyones...

Recommended Posts

Not sure if it was suggested... had a NEW buddy place a marker down marking our truck with gear... truck got stolen. After we left camp for 20 minutes I map'd back to our camp, saw the marker which was labeled "ORP" ... I said "Man someone stole our truck - some ass hole put ORP right in its place..." him "... Oh... everyone can see that....?" ...

Anyways thats what gave me this most likely already suggested idea.

Being able to mark your map, and not the "community" map... would be a nice feature. Now I know that no one would really use this... unless...

In the standalone they said they are going to remove the way point system entirely (shift left click)... well if you marked your map - you'd put your base at risk of being discovered... I think that the only way point being used is if the player has taken the risk and made a map marker on their personal map they found. So a person thats not so great, or hasn't spend 500 hours on Cherno like most of us has, will be tempted to mark his map... and when he gets balled up hes going to be even ... more QQ? :D

I like QQ....

Seen this idea before, but it does need to be implemented. Also if you die or drop your map, someone should be able to pick it up and look at your markings on your map.

Pretty much, thats why I mentioned it being a risk if carried on you.

How your map marker is broadcast is defined by what comm channel you're in when you make it. As far as I recall.

Ill test it later and let you know.

I like the idea

Even if Nobody is going to use it, leaving it as it is now is just rubbish.

Also make it, that you can Look at the Map of a friend, without having it in your inventory.

One could make a scrollweel Option like in the ACE Mod.
