Destiny needs a mini-map/map!
I think a map option that is built in to the ghost would be super super duper helpful and cool!
Too many times have I gotten lost during patrol when trying to find a place that I previously liked/whateva.
I would LOVE an option to just view a map of the area you are in with north and south and what not.
Like if you brought up your ghost, then, instead of X for sparrow, Y for orbit, you hit like B or something for a transparent map on the HUD. It would be immensely helpful and just add to that MMO feeling. Lemme know what you guys think!
_______EDIT_______
The map would only be for PVE. PVP is easy to get your way around.
EDIT#2
The map wouldn't have to be available the first time, but after you visit and discover, it becomes recorded.
Edit 3
]I am talking about patrolling missions.
How are we supposed to explore if we aren't white sure if we've been there before?
They want us to explore? That's awesome great idea. However, they don't even have a compass!
Take for instance skyrim.
I know the games are very different, but my paint is that skyrim has a very nice map. When I look at the map there, I sometimes are a blank spot. It makes me wonder what's out there. That is when I go explore.
I don't want the map to be as detailed as skyrims. Nor am I saying that is impossible for my to play des.tiny without a map. I just think it is a good suggestion and would make the game more enjoyable for the majority of the players.

A map would be fabulous. Especially since we have this handy app that already has a "tower map" in it... Even though it is the only place that already has a map accessible in game while you are there. Redundancy is great, accessibility is better.

I totaly i would even be pleased if it was like a satelite that doesnt show you routes or connection just where the hell you are and some names of areas

1 ReplySo you have this little Ghost that can: 1. Randomly spawn your bike anywhere 2. Magically launch you into Orbit 3. Generally gives you a direction to follow BUT CAN'T TRACK AND MAP WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN???????? COMPLETELY STUPID AND AN OVERSIGHT. When you first arrive at the Tower you are presented a MAP. Having a Map is a tactical tool. All this futuristic gear but not a map. This was Bungie's strategic decision. FAIL IMO. If you like being immersed than don't use the map. I don't like spending a tremendous amount of time wondering around and walking into a level 8 area when I'm only level 4. And if I had a Map I could at least create a mental note not to go back there until i'm a higher level. Having a Map is just practical. Using it or not should be our choice.

Yes real one that shows you where you are only way I know where to go is follow little arrow
-
I completely agree with the game needing a map. Just do one like Skyrim had where you can set a waypoint. That would make things very easy for a fireteam leader to coordinate with other members even without a mic. Plus in exploration mode if I want to track down a certain public event I could get the most direct route there without missing out on it.
-
Yah I get lost all the time xD
-
The ghost should open a holograph map when u push select
-
Agree. Like everyone else I get lost on patrol. It would help with farming and it would be awesome to mark locations on it
-
Yeah. I get lost a lot...
-
Bump and it would be nice to be able to mark points of interest on your map so you can remember where that epic battle was so your not spending hours trying to search for it again.
-
I agree
-
4 RepliesI don't agree. We're going into places that man hasn't been to for millennia, we wouldn't have maps for those places. Just use your ghost.
-
-
Agree the game needs a map but i think bungie didn't put a map on purpose because they understood that it will be the final nail on the coffin of the game map size.
-
this was suggested with the alpha and beta, bungie didn't care enough about consumers to do it.
-
1 ReplyBecause when a patrol mission sends me to an area I really shouldn't be in, I need to know how to get the hell out.
-
1 ReplyBump. A map you can bring up and look at would be helpful indeed. Even if it only recorded where we had been and left everything else blacked out. Was on the fence when topic was brought up after beta, but now I keep wishing I had one. Several times I have been turned around in patrol and asking myself how did I get there last time?
-
Agreed, game needs a map. Even just a basic outline of the level with the regions labled would be great. It could also note the entrances to the deeper/underground regions if Bungie wants to be generous.
-
It already has a map. It shows where hitmarkers are coming from what direction.
-
This is what I was thinking about, it should be there to know where to find stuff and higher level enemies and areas. Totally agree. EVERYONE COMMENT AND FAVORITE THIS
-
i agree
-
-
Totally agree...at least one in the menu.
-
Makes sense...I mean, you have the ability to teleport, interplanetary travel, etc., but apparently the tech required to draw a map was lost in the Golden Age. LOL ;) Would definitely love to have a map; would make going through afterward on patrols to pick up all those missing collectibles like gold chests and dead ghosts a whole lot easier.
-
There should atleast be one in the menu.
