Maps in 2.0

[Rydin]

Guys,

I don;t disagree on any particular point....

I am just saying ....if the map isn't complete, the first "internet guy" to complete it is gonna post a .jpeg of it, and that's it.....

Me and EVERY gamer I know is gonna head strait over there and download every map he's got.

I know this for a fact due to the popularity of any map site on any game that doesn't just "hand you the maps"

So it's just a silly exercise in futility that creates annoyance and tedium.

How is it tedious? You would be heading to those areas anyway...
Having the map already in game or looking at it on a website are essentially the exact same thing... one way doesn't seem any more or less tedious...
If you're heading to a location... the map fills as you go... No extra work is necessary and it takes the same amount of time to get there...

Its all a matter of opinion... some would say a video game is a silly exercise in futility...
and to an extent, they'd be right

That's exactly my point man lol.

It IS the exact same thing....thanks for understanding how useless an exercise it is to hide the map.

It's just a game, its all just for fun, it's all just to waste time, so why not just add the map already? What does it matter? If you uncover your map is Ed McMan gonna come give you a prize....no....no man he's not, no one cares, no one in RL cares that you OVERCAME that inconvenience....

In response to your query it's Tedious BECAUSE you have to either go Google the map, run dual screens (which I do for that exact purpose) or alt tab all the time. etc and so on and so fourth.

I get where you guys are coming from I REALLY REALLY do, it's fun to uncover and discover things. But I guess we are just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.

well the point was everything we do in a game is silly and futile...
and you'd only need to look at a map the first time you go some place...
How much extra time are you really wasting? Seriously... 5 seconds looking at a google map is tedious?
If efficient use of your time is really important... maybe MMO gaming isn't for you...
By that right, leveling up is tedious... opening cutscenes are tedious...
Hell, the login screen is tedious...
the point is, if there are a large number of people who would enjoy it... it might just end up being something you'll have to suck it up and deal with...
Even if I didn't enjoy it, I just don't see it being that big of a hindrance that I would be opposed to them adding it...
In the end it's just not that serious
