A big disappointment.
Good. If y'all want it go to PoE or something lol.
Definitely not a fan of the mini-map instead of overlay. It's so much more of a hassle.
Its @#$%in trash.
Are the dungeons randomly generated or do the layouts stay static? This is the only reason why I could think they don't give a shid to do that. It's beyond difficult to just out of nowhere die in the open world, so map is kind of whatever. And if the layout of the dungeon is the same everytime, why do you need a map, because d2-3 and poe have it? You'll know where you're going after the 5th run in a farming session. HOWEVER I am not an overlay denier, I think it's useful at the end of the day. Especially if you missed a shiny on the ground and the map reminds you that you left an orange piece behind you. I'm just trying to think rationally about why these devs would say no to such an easy W. Maybe internally they're just aware that a map like that has little use in their game. Could also be because we have the same version as console mud brains and they can't make console players play ARPGS like everyone else. Simple solution here would be give console players their own slop bucket version of D4 and focus on master race PC, business as usual. but nu blizz refuses to work that cerebral cortex on issues that have been solved for over a decade.
Shouldn't you have asked this in a survey?It seems they already made their minds up, and the only possible reason why is console.Then again, they didn't even send a survey to people who played in Open Beta. Or even let us test the mount system that you get at level 10. It must look really bad and out of place for not letting us test the so called 'mount combat' that they made so many videos about and is unlocked at level 10.We will have to wait a few months into the games release, for all the console players to quit, before blizzard starts to make any changes catering to the pc payer..players. Then they will start fixing the UI and everything else they downgraded from the d3 UI.Like I wrote in a previous post, none of the paid Diablo shills here can answer the following simple question:Which parts of the D4 UI is an improvement over the D3 UI?Oh right, none what so ever.
Shame decision
Honestly I'm fine with this. Why bother making this amazing looking world and dungeons if people are just gonna stare at 2d map the whole time.
Really disappointing. The controller/console UI is probably the culprit here.They really need change the UI for PC
As someone who have played all Diablo I must say that while the overlay map of Diablo 2 is very nice to have and something that would've improved Diablo 3 which their map was quite useless unless in smaller areas.Diablo 4 I honestly didn't feel the need of a overlay map because the mini map covered large enough area so it never felt like you suffered from just having a mini map.While I can understand the people who want overlay map out of personal experiences I still understand Blizzard why they may remain stubborn about it.But in the end I honestly see no harm done if they add the option for overlay maps but it isn't something I am feeling like I need.Time will tell how our feedback on this can perhaps change their mind.
Good. Having to play with a giant map in the middle of your screen shouldn't be the norm.
