To DEV: Please add "D"

I'd like to /dance under a big "D"...

Oh, yes please.
I think it would also be nice to have a set of 'flat' way markers - meaning the ring on the ground displays but no pillar of light or letter displays (Maybe letter can be in the ring flat on the ground?)

nice idea, however if a aoe attack were to hit near a flat marker, it will cover it entirely and make it harder to see, but the option is nice to have it non the less.

The response was more to the tune of "if we added additional waymarkers, we would need to design content in a way that would make use of them."

In other words, if your strategy requires more than 3, you are complicating things unnecessarily. Rethink your strategy to make the most of what you have now.

This is upto the players to decide, not you or SE. You cannot place your own personal limitation to other people, doesnt work like that. Other groups can grasp it a lot better, people just dont want to have to body pull or take longer then needed to explain when more markers speed up the process.

I've already made a thread about this, and received a response;

I even originally called it "Yoshi-P, give me the D", till they renamed it.

Currently only 3 markers are available for use, whilst they're a completely invaluable boost to most co-coordinating your party through content. Seeing as most arenas have;

Four corners,
Four places to run,
Four things to run TO,
Four things to run FROM.

Anyone else feel it would be a nice addition in the future? (Only for ONE more marker, not several).




THIS IS A REQUEST, not a demand.

I can understand as with every request it's importance isn't a high one, however this would be a nice addition to raiding content as opposed to calling 'D' the "Opposite" side.

That seems like a very ... I can't even think of the right word..narrow? selfish? inconsiderate? response.
Basically, they don't care how players want to do tactics, that we should do it the way they think we should do it. That they don't want the game to evolve with the players that actually use it.

It's a prefectly acceptable response.

They said they have no plans for it. It's original purpose was to aid-alliances.

I would like to see either a 4th waymak, or for fights to be in more interesting arenas that have visual landmarks built in, instead of just big flat circles, like Turn 1.

Why won't they do this add a d e and f?
