Compass?!?!
is this something really needed at all? i'd rather they do something about the cheaters, exploiters and undermeshing which is epidemic in this game, i hope they do better with Dune but a doubt it

You can't be serious?
Anding a compass is a modder 101 thing, funcom could have gotten it done in an hour. The question is why did it take so long? People have been requesting one since the game dropped.

They added it because it was easy, a piece of low hanging fruit to claim they are listening to us and fulfilling our requests, nothing more.

Let it go guys. It's not worth the effort to get worked up about something that, although minuscule, is sort of positive...I guess.

I actually have a compass mod on my HUD and I like it, even as a somewhat veteran player, but that is beside the point.

Why do you care?
Seriously, why do you care if I have it? Is me having a compass going to effect you game? No? So what is the issue?

I swear some people just look for reasons to gripe.

The problem is it's a waste of development time that should be spent on the MULTITUDE of bugs, exploits and cheats that has driven off most of the player base with mainly die hard's and the aforementioned people still playing.

No it isnt. There game has a f-cking MAP to use. You dont need compass at that point. The map isnt even that huge and Siptah even smaller... Compass is just a thing to add so it looks like they keep adding new things or do anything with the game in the first place. This similar tactic has been used by Dayz developers. Removing content then adding it back later as "new" content, though Conan devs never had Compass added to the game prior to this.

look at compas / mini map download numbers , it's one of more downloaded mods , so should be in game from start , map get confused when you'r killing mobs while traveling.

As I have said in another of these absurd gripe threads, a compass is mod studies 101. It didn't detract from any other developmental work. This was low hanging fruit so funcom could say they gave us some long requested thing. Nothing more.

And have you seen it?
Even once it's unlocked, built, and equipped, you are going to have to look for it in your HUD. When I saw it my first thought was "they sure funcomed that".

"There game has a f-cking MAP to use. "
"If you're not playing the way I do you're doing it wrong"
And how old are you?

The QoL mod that adds a compass/minimap is one of the 3 I recommend.

Yes, it's really needed. The compass will help players find their position on the map or where to go without opening the map often, and also this will help players find their way around big dungeons and maze bases.

Even as a 2 year ongoing player, some places still throw me off and need a double take of checking out the map to know where I'm facing at times, so not a unwelcome feature for sure.

I just hope with adding a new journey, they fixed at least some of the bugged ones. Thrall Taker and the cooking journey recipes are still locked because of this.

Compass = another waste of resources.
Stick to fixing the damned game.

How? Just how is it a waste of resources? Been ready to roll out for months, didn't cost man HOURS; minutes maybe. So how did it waste what resources?
What if the compass is just a byproduct of fixing the thralls for lively villages?

I've said it before so you know I'll say it again, some people just look for reasons to whine.

You're probably one of those people who just can't have enough despite the fact it's overloading the game. You'll drive this game into the grave.
