Compass Changes

[Emme]

Hello dear Dev Team.

I'd like to know if we could have an ingame option to adjust the compass size?
Right now after U1 the size of it went too small and I have serious problems reading the compass fast because of it. Which is leading the compass to be a more inefficent tool as it used to be. I found the older version of it to be perfect in my case, but I guess that's pp.

Another thing are the NE / NW and SE / SW compass marks, is there any reason why they had to go? Playing often as a SL I see more people give out wrong direction calls in hectic moments. Even I sometimes happen to give out wrong NW/SW and NE/SE direction calls. And personally I don't like to give numeric directional callouts as they are inaccurate for people that are not on my position.

I can only speak for myself but I find the compass changes to be a step backwards. So could you please add a more individual solution or just switch back to the old compass?

It would be much appreciated.

+1 for the NE NW SE SW marks !

An option to change the color would be nice too. Can be hard to see on Foy with the fog and snow being the same color as the compass.

I was anti new compass right after UD1, but have grown accustomed to it. Not that there's anything wrong with your ideas, but for me after two hours it was as if I forgot how the original compass looked.

My biggest problem with the change is the size. I'm playing on a 27' widescreen monitor and the compass is only readable for me when I push my nose on the screen... So it would be cool to be able to switch back to the old compass as it is a needed tool to play the game. That's why it's pretty much not working for me as it is right now. Or let's say it's at least worse than it was before the update. And I believe that updates are not ment to just make proper working things almost useless. ^^

bring back the original compass seize, currently the new one is very hard to use in operations..

I agree, bring back the old compass please. I suppose I didn't even notice removal of nw, sw, etc. because the markings are so small

I too find the latest compass font to be too small for efficient use. The town names on the map got smaller as well.

it's far to small.Please turn it back pre patch or give us the option to change it ourselves.

Happy to see that others have the same thoughts problem as myself.

I didn't notice that the se/sw quaters had been removed, I don't as a rule call out "enemy SW", although I may call out "enemy due North / S / W / E.

It is near impossible to clearly read the N°'s to give out degree information, something I always do.
So,,, the compass needs a scaling option or a slight increase of size.

My eyes are good even if I do wear glasses.

I hope the Devs see this Topic and take note.

Denial is not a river. Face it. We're old.

I zoom in on the screen, I zoom out on age, glasses for the classes.

Tried putting on my reading specs, don't work.
I can't see the N°'s on the compass dial, give me a zoom or a larger compass.

Bit of a game breaker...

Make HLL great again! ; )

I too agree old compass was easier to read.
