Mini Map

[CMurray42381]

Ok, Fun Pimps, you've had your fun. I think I speak for most 7DTD players when I say put the mini map back. I hate that stupid random world gen, it's annoying not being able to find the place I want to set up my base. I've wanted to set my base in the school, but I can't find it because of the damn random gen. Put the mini map back, or I'm gone, I will never play again.

If they bring it back, it will probably be related to a player skill like cartography, or a high-end radar-type piece of equipment. They've always maintained they were going for more realism, and being psychic isn't it.

You could wait for a mod that adds it back in, or create such a mod yourself. Threats of never playing again however, don't hold much water.

I don't want the mini map back and so does every 7dtd player i know. Sooooooo i am not quite sure of the "most players" part....

[Aragon]

I like the way it is now. Minimap is for pu***s.
Speaking for me and 6 others i play this game together.

[thomi]

i also prefer no mini map, though i wouldn't really mind it as an option for others. also, newsflash: the fun pimps couldn't give the tiniest of ♥♥♥♥♥ if you never played again and neither could we.

The mini-map hindered the survival aspect of being in a zombie apocalypse...

You know where they are and the directions they are going, even if they got you aggro... There's no point looking behind you at all at any point.

At least now you are on your toes at all times

That a neat idea!

I didn't start playing before Alpha 9 so I never got to use the minimap. Let me get this straight: the minimap basically showed the location of all zombies around you? Aware of you or not? Really?

That's a noob feature if I ever saw one. I'm glad it's gone then.

At first it would only show dots of where zombies were, not showing where they are heading

Green = no aggro

Yellow = Looking for you

Red = Coming for you

Then they "improved" it by giving the dots arrow directions so you would know where the zombie is facing, making it even easier....

Even if it is a noob feature, 7dtd allow for different gameplay and should allow it later on... If you can turn zombie off and have a playground, why not having a mini-map and have a hunter type game?

But I'm just derailing now...

Yes, while we're at it let's also remove feral zombies, hordes, hunger, thirst and anything that would make the game hard, or challenging.

[yossarian]

I only miss the mini map to see how big the horde is that was approaching. Other than that, not really missing it since a map feature is still there.

To digress, maybe a map that you can annotate. Make notes as to what day you last visited a place to remind you items should have re-spawned by now.

I don't want mini map!

But I do want to be able to click M for map in random world and not have it zoomed in on the top of my head with only a small zoom out ability.

[Spoonycrow]

I DO NOT want a mini map that shows zombie activity. That just seems stupid..However, it would be nice to have a small map that just shows a map so you can see what is in your big map without having to stop and open to get your butt in the right direction.

Anything that shows what the zombies are doing defeats the purpose of playing a survival game, however just a simple mini map hurts no one, all it would need to do is show your icon for where you are. ( I have never played with the mini map everyone is referring to).

[Lerch Addams]

A mini map and zombie radar are two different features.

In other words, i would prefer the mini map without the radar because knowing where i am without having to stop and open my world map would save me huge amounts of time.

You could also argue that zombie radar simulates situational awareness.

In other, other words, zombies would only be added to your radar if you saw or heard them first, that way you wouldn't be psychic.

I argued for an option to toggle it off when it was disabled eons ago.

**shakes fist at sky**

Darn you TFP! Listen to my wisdom or i will quit playing your fabulous game!!!111
(for about....15 minutes)

[BigRowdy]

I dont get it! Place your sleeping bag at your base and mark your location of interest with map tag. This ain't hard. Hate the mini map!! Game settings impossible very high spawn, very low character dmg. very high zed dmg. 25% loot, drops 72 hrs. everything else normal. Now this is just me, but I've learned to play... I know not everyone plays like this so maybe an option for some of the nerf type things.....
