Question Can we have our close up mini-map zoom back? GU09 took it away.


And the shityness of that is compounded by smaller mini-map icons.

Need that zoom for tight quarters engagements.

Not sure why it was removed to begin with? Bring it Back.

Yes but not as much as you could previously.

Big infiltrator Dart Nerf.

Yeah we get XP for them now, but at what cost?
If this was just for Scout Radar, then there was a dozen other ways to go about fixing that OP stuff

They also cut the zoom in down and it effects the radar use especially when running at 2560x1440 resolution. Now you can't zoom in enough to give proper detail.

Exactly that.

When I got a 100m Scout Radar Flash hidden in a sweet spot... well post GU-09 it's just not as good when you can't see specific minimap details that the radar is giving you (i.e. enemy in this room or that room? just outside the perimeter of the structure or within?)

I tweeted @planetside2 and Lance said that my opinion was noted. Not like I matter much but I think they will return the close up in the next patch.

This feature was really poorly implemented.

one of the main things I am looking forward to seeing fixed.

Damn it man... Original Planetside seemed to have so many little things perfect, compared to PS2.

PS2 mini-map doesn't scale enemies, terminals, deployables, etc... the same as the terrain. Means that shit ends up floating around in the wrong location when you adjust the mini-map resolution.

Totally shit.

Yeah, i only notice it because i have recon darts level 6 and since the patch its a lot harder to read the mini map to deduce enemies locations, it just needs one more level of zoom down. Please fix devs !

Good news - if you check the test server, the closeup zoom is on it. There are also some interesting features including draft Esamir lattice.
