Why Quests dont show on map?

Just randomly teleported to a WP. Suddenly Quests marker showed, which the were not prior.
Can they please fix that.
I dont know where to go for the missing Quests. Its annoying.

Quests in cities only appear if you’re in that city. Likewise, quests that are in the open world only appear if you’re in the open world. You’ll have to step outside the city to see them.

The “blinking” of markers for quests and events is a bug.

However, the “missing” quests are likely ones you have yet to unlock, either through finding an item/object in the world or a pre-quest.

Side Quest markers are double blue diamond shaped icons with a white and red pointed circles when you mark them as active in the Journal and should be visible on the zoomed out map, consistently! But, when you try to locate the right area to zoom to nothing is present as needed after activating side quests in the Journal!

When zoomed and searching, sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not. Seems like a map scaling issue, but results are not consistent as far as I can tell!

Best case, if I look in the upper right hand window of the mini-map I can see the general directions of the quest from my current position.

Then, with the Journal still open, and pressing the “M” key I see the Icon in a border area of the visible map with and arrow pointing off screen.

Scrolling the map (with click hold and drag) in the direction of the arrow takes me to a blue circled area I want to be in… Then, I can drop a pin in the blue circle! It has taken a lot trial and error to get me to this area of game interaction!

However, many times in the past I given up and did something else because I can’t find what I am looking for!

Trying to finish the area rewards is a pain when intuitive marker methodology is not consistent! At zoomed out high level the Activated Icon should be there! When in the local zoomed in area the blue circle is very helpful… Intuitive, consistent and easy to use makes a better game!

12-27-23 Update:
I picked up a out of town quest that turned out to be a dungeon. Was about half way through and I had to leave the dungeon with a “T” key to the closest town take a phone call. When I got back the game had timed out.

I wasn’t able to play again for a few days. When I got back in the game the quest was still active. However, there was no icon on the upper right minimap and no Icon or blue circle on the full map and nothing I could do in game would bring it back.

I left (Leave game button" the game and then restarted it (“Play” button).

The expected icon showed up on the minimap. In the upper left hand corner (to the NE from where I was at).

An to my pleasant surprise the dungeon was marked with the expected active guest icon!

Update 2/5/2024
I encountered a no directional Side Quest Icon again (it actually has a arrow on one side pointing to the direction you should scroll the map to locate you quest as a location (Blue Icon) or an area Blue Circle. Turned out the Icon was hidden behind the Information Bar centered on and covering part of the map top of the map!

I went back to the minimap and the the side quest directional Icon showed and it was pointing West. When I went back to the full screen map the directional Icon was not to be seen.

I started scrolling the map in the opposite direction (just a hunch) and it appeared at the top of the screen to the left of the Information Bar.

I experimented some from time to time after that at different times while playing and I could hide this icon behind the Information Bar at the top of the screen or the Whispers information bar at the bottom of the screen.

This could be the cause of a lot of can’t find my side quest on the map complaints!
