    Add back sense of scale through the map system

    With the new map system there was one change i really would have wanted. The new system shows the map remnants connected overlayed the ironheart map. But the overlay doesnt line up at all with the background map making it hard to determine what parts of the world we are visiting at any given point.


    The new La Noscea is especially bad, not even fitting the island frame one bit.



    1.0 despite all its flaws did this.



    Here you can see how much of the world we are seeing, by showing the coastline to scale with the maps. I understand the world is bigger in lore, but surely the scale should be equal and consistent.

    By aligning it better, you can too show how big distances we travel in zone transitions.

    This is not a big change i am asking for, but one that would increase my levels of immersion tenfold when using maps.

    I managed to find a fan made map of Vylbrand with the 2.0 assets. This is what the new map update should have been. This is what i want ever so badly.
