--RV--ThaPear Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm trying to gather some information about how people feel about the current minimap. There's 18 questions with up to 3 answers each, so you can click right through. The survey is divided into sections about each part of the minimap. Contents: Page 1) Introduction Page 2) About you (optional) Page 3) Excavation power cells Page 4) Warframe icons Page 5) Pickup and container icons Page 6) Enemy markers Page 7) Minimap general Page 8) What I've forgotten, a chance for you to tell me where I messed up. Without further ado, here's the link: Survey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Prime Pedestal Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 All I'm gonna say is give an option to toggle Warframe icons on/off in settings, they are incredibly obtrusive due to how large they are and cover objectives frequently. Again an option to toggle markers for ayatan stars, or a timer where they automatically disappear after a certain amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaleek Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I noticed a lot of people say they want individual ammo pickups represented on the mini-map. My concern is too much information becomes rather chaotic and then you are no longer able to see what you want to. I think if they added a minimap filter so i could choose what shows up and what does then i'd be happy to have ammo as a separate icon so i could remove it from my mini-map via a filter.

Sketch065 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Minimap is great the way it is. The only thing about the minimap that needs to be fixed is the icons that show objectives, waypoints and fallen players that are further than minimap shows, showing which doors to take to get there the fastest. I can't coun't how many times i couldn't reach a fallen player, because i was followning the icon on the minimap when i should have gone on totally different path. As for the survey. Why are you so pissed about minimap? All you did was list all the things that are on it and asked if we want them removed or changed. Ayatan sculptures, syndicate medalions and ammo do not need their own icon. If there was an ammo icon, then the entire minimap would be flooded after 5 minutes of survival and if sculptures and medalions had their own icon, it would be to easy, you would just rush through the mission only slowing down when you saw them on the minimap.

Gabbynaru Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Done. Personally, I find the minimap as it is to be really good. So good, in fact, that I can play the game just by looking at the minimap. I just don't play excavation, so, I have no real input on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoholism Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 3 minutes ago, Skaleek said: My concern is too much information becomes rather chaotic My thoughts exactly. The minimap does too much and detracts away from the gameplay on the screen. The more things we add to the minimap, the more reliant we are on it; the more it becomes a game where ~30% of the time our eyes are on the minimap instead of focusing on what is happening on the screen. I already tend to do this with Telos Boltace; spamming radial attacks and watching where I'm going or where I need to go on the minimap. It's very effective but I really don't think that's how I should be playing the game :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily pissed about the minimap, I just feel that more and more information is being stuffed into it that I don't necessarily need and that detracts from the clarity of the information I would like. I just wanted to see if this is an opinion other people also have instead of just going "DE fix plox" in a ragethread. I myself voted no on all the separate icon questions, but I didn't want my own opinion to bias the questions in the survey.

--RV--ThaPear Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 The results are in, if anyone is interested, they're available in image form on imgur! The raw results are available on google sheets! It's interesting how many people want more different icons for many of the drops, even though it would make finding statues and medallions quite trivial.

(PSN)Kairo_Montano Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I only wish you could change the opacity in options. I'm good with it the way it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
