    [Suggestion] In fights with destructible terrain, alter map to match available space

    I've done a lot of healing for titan EX to the point where I know what each role needs to do in the fight. However, upon trying to do the tank role, I noticed an issue with positioning titan properly.

    Because the arena was so big before hand, all I can see on the minimap is a solid shade of light brown. This makes it difficult to tell whether I'm at the northern edge of the map.

    Please make the map match the available terrain. Its difficult to play boss encounters as intended if I have to fight the interface as well as the boss.

    Step 1: lock your minimap so it doesn't rotate.
    Step 2: runs to North of minimap if you're titan tank. Prepare for adds if you're adds tank.
    Step 3: ??????
    Step 4: Profit

    I don't think the issue is the North part of the statement. Based on the description, the edge is the piece being criticized. Even if one were to lock the map, the arena on the map doesn't change size when the arena itself shrinks. This would be problematic if using the map to help position. Asdamine's suggestion seems like a good workaround.

    I've never had any issues when positioning Titan. All you need to see on the minimap is if you're at the north side while facing south, with your position being in the middle the east and west edges on the minimap. You can also zoom the minimap in or out if you need to see more.

    The only real time you might get disorientated is when going into the post-heart phase, but you're given plenty of time to get into position. On extreme mode, you can also adjust things if you see both add spawns aren't the same distance from you, and the first set of bombs always drop North, South, East, and West first before the next wave of bombs drop, giving you a good indication of where you should be standing.
