Getting Confused In Maps

[ROXXXY]

Have you ever gotten lost on a map. Or the map started messing around with you. I remember when I first started warframe on my old account ages ago and got lost on some giant Grineer map with a glitchy waypoint. It got me mad.

The extraction waypoint is definitely way too cartoony, it's definitely caused me to get confused on where i've had to go at least a few times

I can't recall getting lost, but I got stuck... a lot.

Tha pathfinding for the waypoint is a bit... off. Normally it works fine but on some tiles it gets very confused, I remember that there was a Grineer asteroid tile which was a long vertical shaft with platforms connected with staircases, conveyor belts and an elevator that would cause the waypoint to freak out, that tile was removed some time ago precisely because of that (atleast that's what I heard).

 

I'm thinking that it would be better if the pathing algorithm was completley removed and that the waypoints simply show the door to the next tile and let the players pathfind themselves.

For the most part I rarely get lost, mostly stuck as Devoid said. But ye, the map waypoint in some instances can really, really break and just make no sense what so ever, takes a bit of trial and error afterwards to try and figure it out. Had one grineer asteroid boss run, might have actually been vor back in my early days, where the marker literally just jumped to extraction for me, was fumbling around for quite a while trying to figure out the correct path there.

 

Joint rooms also tend to mess it up a bit, I had 2 of the long, 6 door 2 bridge void rooms generate next to each other at once, the 2 big side doors linked up from each side but both were ready but because they were "linked" the marker pointed there to continue, thought it was a broken gen at first but later discovered there was a long path around.

When I was new I did get lost quite a bit. Not anymore now. You get used to the tilesets and maps. After a while you instinctively know where to go.

I was lost recently, cause the way point marker was lost himself, couldn't make up his mind about where to point.

Archwing interceptions can get confusing sometimes because of the minimap getting cluttered with enemies, markers, towers above/below other towers, and sometimes I can't see where a tower is at all.

you have map and waypoints, if you still get lost, its your problem
