BLIZZARD - Hurry up and add Overlay Map!

Game is still in beta as far as I’m concerned without an overlay map. Who tf wants to play HC without a proper map?? HURRY UP. This QoL shouldve been available on release.

All I get is this useless pos tiny corner map so I need to take my eyes off the action to look at this tiny map in the corner? Whoever decided against overlay map at launch should be fired.

Blizzard add this. Blizzard add that. Blizzard, please, make the game exactly like I have curated it in my head.

No, child, Blizzard gives you campfire chats in order to stupefy you to sleep, so that they can sit down for three measly minutes without your whining. And your mindless, inexhaustible, unstoppable, repetitive, and nagging demands: I want an overlay map, I want better affixes, I want more exp! I want, I want, I want, me, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, mine, now, now, now, now!

Can’t you understand, child? They tell you stories to shut you up.

Edit: For anyone coming across this topic, please take a look at the date when it was made, and when my reply was made. That is all, thank you.

What is this larping speak? Lmao Weirdo.

But yes I and MANY OTHERS want an overlay map for obvious reasons. Pointing out that I want QoL in some weird larp speak doesn’t take us away from reality.

It should have already been a feature since launch.

This isn’t a fantasy in anyone’s head. People usually ask for features already available in other games and that are considered as standard features of the games in this genre.

Nobody just made up the concept of an overlay map in their head. This existed in the very game of this franchise in from 20+ years ago.

Stop trying to gaslight people, like your masters over at Blizzard, for wanting normal stuff. No one is a child for wanting basic stuff, nor is anyone making stuff up in their head. People want reasonable things. Stop trying to impute blameworthiness, or try to make it out to be that someone’s crazy for wanting an overlay map in a Diablo game.

No one is asking Blizzard to implement an unheard idea, some novelty inside their head, but simply implement what has already been invented in gaming and is considered basic.

Clearly some one has never watched Hook with Robin Williams, so I’m guessing you’re anywhere between 12 and 25.

Blizzard sold us dog poo. Some like you are happy with it, some of us want a proper diablo game, not dog poo. Do you understand now?

Overlay should definitely be a feature in dungeons as it would make navigation there much easier. From mid to late game we spent most time in dungeons. Opening and closing the somewhat opaque map right now and being blind for a second is not a good design choice. In open world I am slightly indifferent. So far the map marker works well to find my way around. I wouldn’t mind having overlay as an option though.

This is not something in one guys head. It exists in the head of everyone who is a fan of the francise.

If the industry worked the way it should and the devs where fans , it would have just hapened months before release. … almost like magic

Of course the dev team is just a bunch console noobs , so they have no proper experience. It possible they did not even know this map mode existed.

So you were quoting a 30 yr old sh*t movie, restating what I said, and throwing in some strawmen about some other QoL and content issues. You dont understand the concept of QoL and you post that weird previous reply, but I’m a child? Okay. Go larp on another thread.

I’m just here for what should have been available on release. Not everyone wants to play an incomplete version of the game.

If you dont mind poorly launched games, great! This thread doesnt apply to you then!

Wasn’t throwing in any strawmen argument… I was literally just rewording a quote from a movie. Feels like you’re projecting here a bit. I agree that we need a map overlay, but I’m not about to tell Blizzard to drop everything so we can have it now. Regardless, have fun sir.

Umm… are you ok?

OP’s ask is not outrageous by any stretch of the imagination considering that most arpgs do overlay maps.
Personally, I was kind of shocked when I first started playing and there was nothing but this dinky map in the corner.
Too many QoL features that were present in the past have been stripped from this game.
I don’t know why but I can only speculate that they plan to introduce them them later on as “improvements”.

“I want more xp, I want more affixes”
This is what you call a strawman by definition. So yes, you did throw strawmen at me because you had no real argument.

Done with you though, you lack any critical thinking and cant actually grapple with the SIMPLE idea of a QoL upgrade to a map. You enjoy Diablo 4 as is, doesn’t change anything for me. You’re confusing me with someone who gets upset when others disagree. Almost like you are the one projecting here.

Was simply making fun of the idea that you want it now, nothing more, you can read more into it then you want, but as the author of that post, I can tell you right now, I was only making fun of how you portrayed your demands, not your actual demands. Remember it’s not what you say, but how you say it.

You’re not an english teacher by chance are you? Making up speculations about different meanings in authors writings?

Demand. Singular. The other demands were strawmen you created.

Season 7 BIG FEATURE… why did you spoil it?

I brought those particular examples in because multiple posts have stated the same thing you have, they want those features now, they don’t want to wait, they want Blizzard to drop what they’re doing and get right on it.

I’m all for Map Overlay as I stated previously, but there’s a right and wrong way to ask for it. You instead demand it in your original post, acting very juvenile, like a child who lost their toy. I see a temper tantrum in your original post, I don’t see some one giving a lot of feedback in a civil manner on a much wanted QoL feature.

I think they should remove the map altogether, the game offers well presented level design with landmarks to orient yourself.
people should be able to find their way around organically instead of navigating with their eyes glued to a map

I strongly disagree, with that logic it would sound as if you want to get rid of Waypoints as well, because after all why would we need them to get around with well presented level design and landmarks?
