SUGGESTION : Map annotations

[Bongeh1986]

I'm sure this idea isn't that original, but here goes.

I'd love to see this feature, or something to it's effect for at least 2.0.

Let us;

a) draw directly onto the map, either with a single thickness pen/pencil with rubber option, this could be stored locally as a bitmap file.

b) drop pins onto the map, of varying type, e.g. Mining pick, sword and shield, treasure chests, whatever, a large enough amount that we can mark things of note with some kind of related icon.

I personally have print screened versions of certain maps, with areas drawn on of note, e.g. Diremites here = good grind 30-33, and a few mining spots. It would be great for this to be a feature of the game.

Even a notebook/pad window , unique for each map would do, so I could jot down co-ordinates of various things with brief descriptions.

What does everyone think?

I like it, they should at least let us mark the map like in FFXI.

Option A is meh.

Option B is really nice though.

This will definitely help with gameplay. I like being able to mark an area in option a better for camp location, etc. I posted an idea of this actually auto filling as you explore the area as an incentive for exploring if map happens to be quest/buyable . However manually doing it would be fine too as we'll have more control.

i was gonna make this thread today after 4 hours of mining at dragon head wishing i had map markers. i know they plan tohave some system were dol can make maps and sell them or somehting.

[AmandaHuggenkiss]

I have often wished that I had some way of marking the map.

[Estellios]

I would also like to add a request to let us be able to share our custom marked maps with others. If someone makes a really good map players could help pass it around!

[Lintora]

This would be a great idea. I would really like a map that i can customize to what i need. I have dual screen setup so i can use an online map to mark up but i would rather it be ingame.
