Feature Request: First Time Visit = No Map.

[Kilta_Firelotus]

:/ Guys the whole purpose of this request was to Fog of War maps for INSTANCED DUNGEONS. The stuff we should be getting in 1.18. Not all maps throughout the game.

still a "pointlessly hard" request though. People can get lost pretty easy and then some if not all the "hardcore" will just look up ffxiv on wiki to get the map and print it out. My ex b/f had a book of all the maps he printed out for both WoW abd ffxi. And we still got lost and died alot.

Also yes you can get lost in Eorzea, I've done it. The maps are vague and sometimes a pathway isn't the a pathway.

Pretty much this. Anything that makes a wiki redundant is good.

I whole heartily agree. There are many features which would make the map superb and I am praying to Halone to smite those opposed. Such as map markers, removing the map overlay and put it into its own standalone widget, etc.

From what I can see, with the inclusion of the Lodestone History, it would be quite possible and even planned to include an achievement type of system, which could also fit into the same panel as a suggested Bestiary (which may / hopefully link to and display areas on the map).

I guess having a mental map does not count for much. Even though I will admit I only played FFXI for about a total of 3-4 weeks, I still have mental maps of the zones I visited. More than anything else, I must question the purpose of the maps. For the world seems a bit much, for specifically confusing zones perhaps. I can't wonder around Gridania without assistance, as I can't see at dark.. in the rain.

Who cares? It's still fun to get lost sometimes. Doesn't mean I'm gonna pansy out and look for a map online. This game needs some type of wonder and adventure to it, and people are just going against it.

You have to remember that the majority of these forums are easy mode gamers who want everything handed to them on a silver platter. Most of the threads on here follow that format and it's why FFXIV is the easiest MMO on the market. Unfortunately that's just as off putting as a game that sucks.
