    Scout's Coalition Map Marking feature

    I'm wondering if it would be possible to change the text of the points the Scout's Coalition Map Marker NPC provides for you.

    For example, right now in Ceizak Battlegrounds, we have:
    Frontier Statio
    Frontier Bivoua
    Frontier Bivoua
    Frontier Bivoua

    Not only does the cutoff misspelling look odd (first world problems, I know), but one cannot tell which number Bivouac is which. I understand there's probably some naming and visual standards at work, but is it possible to rename these?

    It could be:
    F. Station
    F. Bivouac #1
    F. Bivouac #2
    F. Bivouac #3

    This is going to be especially important when Bivouacs get erected in Morimar Basalt Fields, where there will be 5.

    Thank you for reading and consideration!

    Thank you for bringing this up! The development team informed us that they will be changing those map marker's names for clarity.

    they don't let us use the green markers sadly. they should imo, marking npcs should just warn us that using their service might overwrite our green markers if we use their service.

    Hell, I just wish NPCs used those green markers far more often.

    no offense if this has been stated before, but what about marking the Reives in green instead of the bivouacs? Seems to me it would make for much less confusion if the reive locations where marked for us, instead of letting players do it. And lets face it, a lot of players don't bother marking their maps at all, hence all the shouts I'm seeing.

    I believe they are going to put in a system message that tells you when a reive is starting and the location it is in.

    So if you are in ceizak battlegrounds, you will see a message something like "A lair reive has commenced at G-7! Report to the area immediately to assist in the destruction of the enemy lair!"

    This would be similar to messages in abyssea related to bastion battles, or the messages in the past related to campaign and so forth.
