Map Markers

[Archadius]

If there is a suitable dev tag for this topic, someone please add it, or let me know what it is so I can add it, thanks!

This is an extremely handy feature that I'm sure many of us would love to see implemented. Consider that we already have map markers (the little red headed pin) for things like towns, camps, gates, even some minor outposts. All great. My concern is that we don't have the option of user-created map markers. These allow players to "remember" a location that they can look up at any time without the aid of 3rd party sites.

- Forgot the area an NM spawns? Could have been solved with a map marker
- Wanna have an indicator for your favourite spot in game? Map marker
- Have a nice fishing spot you'd like to share with a friend? Map marker
- Found a great lvling camp and want to remember it for later? Map marker

See where this is going? lol

I know that bringing up FFXI references is hated in this forum, but it was a great idea SE had. I abused the hell out of them in FFXI. I had every important location on every map that I discovered set as a marker. It made for a quick/handy in-game reference for information since you rarely visited a location only once.

I'd like to petition SE to implement a feature like this in the future. I understand that there are things of greater importance right now, but I think SE should be made aware that we approve of this solid mechanic and would like to see it make a return at some point. Please sign/like if you agree. Thanks!

Since nodes are static, you could even use markers for those, I forgot about them! lol Good point!

Yeah it's really hard to grind gathering when u constantly have to find the node.

Well you can try committing the spawn points to memory, but if there's say... 6 different ones, once you find where they are, you can map marker each one, then just run to your map markers and see if the node is up. Saves the hassle of trying to commit all nodes for all zones to memory (that's a lot of information X_X)

Oh yes let's add this please! I love this feature in any MMO it comes in really handy sometimes for gathering or just remember where neat things are in the world.

/support.

Yes, map markers are really good, especially when you want to mark tunnel entrances, for quarrying points.
You can also mark camps for different levels. This is such a helpfull tool, I am surprised SE did not implement it from the get-go.

yeah i'd like map markers again, specially for dol, even though we got yalms and the finders i'd love to just map out every spot so after awhile i can just hit the yalm and run exactly to the same spot without my memory on overload. too much acid in the 90's my memory already bad enough lol, rather see a little dot on the spot.

also is a good way to mark your grind spots and remember then like op mentioned i like this. and for whatever else u can think of.i vote yes please to this. make it work on mini map too.

That's a great suggestion, I have posted the same on the forum sometime ago but I went unnoticed

I hope this gets the devs' attention.

JP side had a response back in June before I started the translation thread, remember reading it and found it... nothing interesting though.
