This delusional, “you think you want it but you don’t” kind of thinking may get the devs on that high horse, but meanwhile players scramble around to install minimap mods to make up for this design deficiency. Taking my minimap away is cutting off a dependable feature that I’ve relied on in MMORPGs for decades now and then telling me that it’s a better product for it. It’s the same reason why I drive around with a GPS-enabled map app, because I’m more interested in getting where I want to go than to get lost, confused, and possibly sobbing in a ditch somewhere. More immersive? To some, sure, but to most, just severely annoying. Old school CRPG gamers might recall back when dungeon mazes had to be mapped out on graph paper because you’d have no map whatsoever in your game. In real life if I’m in a room or a familiar building, I have a sense of the layout even if I’m not directly looking at it.įurthermore, the radar helps navigate unknown spaces that would be confusing and frustrating otherwise. The way that I’ve always seen it, minimaps are a representation of your character’s sense of surroundings. It’s not worth the trade-off, because what minimaps give us is so much more than a vague motivation to poke around without directions. You weren’t really needing that corner empty to make room for some more god rays or something. And minimaps are never the focal point of the UI anyway, often tucked into a corner for occasional use.
I explore a whole ton even with minimaps available. A person who loves exploring in an MMO won’t be held back by a minimap (and can often elect to minimize it if so desired) if they really want to explore. In my view, both of these are really flimsy arguments. Well, if you listen to devs talk about why their game is so grand as to not need a minimap or discuss with anti-minimap players why this is a good design choice, the argument tends to be boiled down to two talking points: So why the pushback from devs (and a vocal segment of players)? Minimaps are not just helpful to MMO adventuring, they’re a standard feature at this point. There are some older games like Wurm Online and upcoming ones like Embers Adrift that don’t see a need for them. Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online chucked this in favor of a less-informative compass. Get on the first one & stand by the steering wheel.One trend that I’ve been watching with some dismay is the increasing tendency for MMO developers to push back against having a minimap - an on-screen overhead view of your position - in their games altogether.
