Waypoints and the Minimap

[Raybeze]

please add the waypoint system that was in the first game, and shown in early footage of the crew 2! You know that arrow that used to be on the top of your screen? hell even arrows on the ground would be decent, with a high contrast setting especially!

that or add the ability to recolor our maps, or something along those lines.

as it is right now it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to follow the map and drive, i have to come to a near dead stop to look at the map because of the colors the devs chose for the waypoint line.

This probably isn't an issue for many people, but i have some color blindness, and just bad vision in general really. lol

just as an example the minimap in GTA online is also completely unusable to me, which is really unfortunate because i used to pride myself as a good driver in that game before the "next gen" port from the 360 - xbox one etc.

i doubt this will be heard by the devs, and i'll probably grab the game anyways, i'm just going to be a really bad player because of the map sadly.

I absolutely LOVE the game aside from that, it's great fun, the vehicles feel awesome, the sounds are even better.

Hey Raybeze!

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback here. I have seen this feedback reported a few times now and have been sure to let the team know about this.

I would also like to see the same sort of driving line like the first one I’m continually missing turn offs cause there’s no real indication as to where to go other than this good game

+1,
When I 1st played the cew 1 I thought the new waypointer bar above the road was amazing & revolutionary.
I've always hated having to stare at a mini map to know my route in open world driving/racing games.
When you're driving down a road at 200+ MPH trying to dodge traffic, the last thing you want to be doing is taking your eyes off the road to check your route on the mini map.
So for that not to be a part of the Crew 2 really disappointed me,
In all my revirews I gave in the surveys for alpha/beta I did mention this, but just thought ahhhh well It's only alpha/beta I'm sure it'll be in full game launch.

As there have been no official news on what's planned or not for this game - same as Ubi has done with most of our alpha and beta feedback, I'm dropping in to stick to this. Hypercar races are simply not fun due to this issue (and AI catching up with obvious "cheating" if the term applies to AI).

No one drives looking at the gps every 10 seconds. Why force us to do so. Most racing games out there moved on from the minimap model to the road overlay. You had quite an interesting take on it on the first game. Don't stay a step back. You're already doing that on a lot of other areas in this game.

yea i definitly feel their lacking in a few areas like the obvious waypoint mini map issue but i also enjoyed driving around on the first one looking for landmarks i wish they had brought that back it would give you more reason to travel to a destination rather than fast travel

I have to ask, have you tryed the page up key?

[Stephanie]

What does a page up key do? Does it create a navigator arrow on your screen?

It makes minimap bigger :)

[Stephanie]

All the time.

It's still a minimap waypoint system.

Thanks for trying to help though.
