Can't find myself on the map

[AfterShave 140]

I logged in today and found my map bugged, that blue circle is nowhere to be found. WTF?

[Imafighter 236]

Maybe they changed the server settings. Not all servers have the blue circle enabled. Use the shift+click to figure out how close you are to something.

Damn... How did we come down to this?!

lol? play on a proper server eh. shouldn't have to rely on map markers.

I was on a hive server, tried a few and none of them will show me the blue marker.

It's all cool tho, I've got a GPS.

Yea, some servers don't allow the blue marker. The shift+click is useful.

Even shift+click is removed in some servers but I believe that most servers have it.

Aye, removed in the decent ones.

I mostly use landscape or features to judge where I am and try to pinpoint myself on the map. I find this to be much more "survivalist" if you will.

I will always regret discovering the shift-click waypoint's presence on most servers...for months prior to that discovery I navigated by memory (I knew where I was and I knew the rough direction of where I was heading) or with the use of the map and the identification of land marks.

There was a sense of achievement and satisfaction when you took a rough bearing from your location, set off for a village some 5km away and with nothing but your sense of direction, manage to hit the village dead on without a map or so much as a compass...screw "steam achievements", they are meaningless; this on the other hand felt genuinely great :)
