To DEV: Please add "D"

[kyuven]

a "D" makes sense for the following reasons:
1) There are 4 people in light parties. One position for each person in a fight.
2) 4 roles in most raids (tank, healer, rDPS, mDPS) with different positions
3) a lot of bosses, such as shiva, use more than 3 locations for things.
4) Before a fight, when demonstrating a mechanic, multiple marks is helpful.

There's really no good reason to not have a D other than "4 is bad luck" (which it is in Japan. But we have 4 person parties....)

Plz give us the whole alphabet + numbers and symbols so I can draw on the ground and cover everything and no one can see anything

[Dervy]

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

[Niqote]

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.

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

The three waymarks were created to coincide with the three parties in an alliance, so while there are situations in-game where there are more than 3 places to point your party members to, we don't have any plans to add a fourth waymark.

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

HVINIRE HATH SPOKEN!

========================================================





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.

A lot of the turns were designed to have markings in order to aid players.

Subtle markers though.
