Marking a Map

[ripe crystal]

I have searched for this suggestion, but didnt see it. Marking a map if you have a pencil or pen manually it would be cool. If you passed something interesting just jot it down on it and make notes right in your journal that connects to your map.
If you die you loose your map with all your notes. And if other player finds it he or she might find some stuff based on your marks😊.

@ripe crystal What I did with dayZ I bought a physical map on there website and I had it laminated and used a non permanent marker on it.

[ripe crystal]

How funny that you got to that point. 🤣
But I ment for player to have map in game that you must find and plot points on. Not map in the front of your PC with freaking ruler and and compass. Troll

@ripe crystal I found it to be much more useful just hung on wall next to pc

[ripe crystal]

Ok. But that was not my suggestion

[wispy steppe]

I love this idea. That would be pretty neat to have

The right hand would move following the mouse.

[wispy steppe]

Super cool idea

I think just being able to mark on a map is solid enough, having a hand that follows your pencil and marks the map when you click is super extra imo.

[soft hound]

But it's exactly what we want, something more than in other games, and it adds a lot to the immersion.

[ripe crystal]

Maybe if it allows you to zoom into it to see more details

[peak veldt]

I don't disagree that the map marking is necessary, just that a moving hand following every draw/line is a bit extra.

[soft hound]

Yes, when you scroll the map enlarges.

[soft hound]

I don't think so, this leaves its own mark on the game

and it's not difficult to do, it's actually quite simple

[ripe crystal]

Then yeah its 👍 great

The issue I see with the moving hand is the blocking it would create when trying to view or draw. If you have this giant hand that's there for no other reason than just wanting to physically see it draw the markers, it could quickly become a nuisance. Causing players to yeet it to a corner of the screen to have full view.

Make it a togglable option for those that don't want it would work fine.

I am not particularly care about hand on the map. I think just simple mouse hovering would act as your pen on the map and long as you have the 🖊.

[ripe crystal]

Maybe would make less performance overload on the game

[peak veldt]

That was part of my thinking as well.

[soft hound]

but this is exactly how it can be done, if you don't want to see your hand in the middle of the screen just move the mouse to the corner

[peak veldt]

I don't want to have to do that everytime I open the map though.

[soft hound]

This would have no impact on game performance.

[ripe crystal]

Maybe if you in first person? And 3rd would make change

Or option to turn off

[peak veldt]

If there's an option, it's fine imo.

[soft hound]

Yes

[gleaming valve]

Dev already know this idea, existed in PZ

[fresh jetty]

we think the same LOL

[soft hound]

What did you think of the idea of ​​the hand following the mouse and having a pen to mark?

[fresh jetty]

Yooooo

This is fire

So cool man

[ripe crystal]

Oh shoot!. I could swear I searched this suggestion. But oh well. The more us the better!
