I would even settle for boss locations to be known but have the point values unknown until scouted. One thing that you didnt mention in this is converters. Seeing the converter spawn message is useless until it claims its first victim - it would be nice to know a general direction so you can choose to head it off if at all possible

Maybe that could be another way to spend shards? A pylon that when you spend like 50 on it gives you sight in a generous area?
and by generous i'm talking like a quadrant of the map
Yeah, I've found the most success in the current incarnation of the game by completely ignoring scouting as a whole and just deathballing until the party is like level 8 and then spend shards on whatever statues are around and picking off bosses 1 at a time. So for sure something needs to change
Interesting. We were doing 13s today without a hitch - granted we would skip some problem packs and we always kite into statues when applicable
Do you think that something like XP crystals scattered across the map would be enough to incentivize scouting beyond the initial "where's the statues to kite to"?
Also as a complete 180 on the convo i'd love to be able to click on the minimap in order to teleport
I'll be honest I assumed there just wasn't a ping system implemented yet
oh interesting. thanks!
oh absolutely. Ran into that a couple times last night. Maybe could have a phoenix thing available after like 10 mins or something that you can dump shards to ping one boss?
The idea is that you're adding more things to cost shards while maintaining the amount of shards you get, and providing a niche utility that can potentially save the run
fair. i would like to see some consistency added in that regard
yeah this is my first season so i've got no context for the growth into the current era
i do think that bare minimum boss locations need to be accessible in some regard

I like your idea of keeping things you spot active on the map, but Id rather the map not be auto populated on spawn in. I like the fog of war concept. Also its not to hard to find a boss when you can just get a Titan to pop up a pathing to one. So keeping it a fog of war style I think is fair, but yea its annoying to have to remember where things are.
