ARE YOU GETTING LOST OFTEN? MAYBE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO GO? THIS MIGHT HELP.
So I've been seeing that people have been having some issues navigating the maps... I first had trouble when obtaining the quest "I think it's pirates." The icon was just out in the middle of no where.
It took me forever wandering to find it.
I since have learned a few tricks that help me finding any POI(point of interest). Hopefully this helps you adapt to the map system fairly easily.
Check out the short video tutorial I made here: http://youtu.be/TS618S5aFw4

I love the maps in this game. Sometimes leaving it semi-transparent while running looks like an effect from an old 'pulp genre' adventure movie. Especially with the whole sepia tone effect. And I can see my little arrow moving as I run across parts of the game world.

Another good tutorial. Good work! ^^
I didn't have a problem with the map, but I bet there will be a lot of people that will find it useful. -

Nice tutorial, but I still prefer doing it the way I currently do it by clicking on the small white text showing name of state and zone next to the little square icons, which drops down a list of names. If you click on a state it shows a map of all the zones connected by white lines showing how they all connect to each other so you can easily trace a route to where you want to go. I find this a much easier method, especially if you're not after a quest but simply just looking for a non-quest place you want to go which won't be marked on map or outer edge.
It's whatever works for each individual. :) You pointed out some good pointers for people that don't know. -
09-14-2013, 08:37 AMJonathan12uizI actually forgot to mention a few things that you brought up... I don't like my videos to go too long... One of the major things I forgot was the whole pressing SELECT to bring up the cursor and clicking the duty list description to bring it up on the map... I also didn't explain the drop boxes in the map window... which is part of what you brought up... Hmmm I better note that in a supplement video maybe... thanks for reminding me about adding that info.. 0_0Quote:

Thank you!
I am watching it now and immediately I went to scale up my minimap but had to look up how to do it on a PC since I do not have an R3 button (it is CTRL+HOME). I will continue to watch and hope that this may actually save my sanity.
Those of you who have played this game for a while probably do not realize just how many things are not intuitive and may create an unfun playing experience due to not being able to complete simple functions. -
09-15-2013, 06:31 AMJonathan12uizYeah I was surprised how many things did not have explanations for them, for example the targeting system filters... It's crazy... which is why we started the video tutorial series...Quote:

I really appreciate it. I am going to watch more and read more and see if I can make the game more playable for me.
I really like the look and feel of the game but my frustration with simple things is ruining the experience for me. Thankfully there seems to be a good group of players that are happy about sharing these tips and tricks, like yourself.
Thanks again.
