Now I don't like Diablo 3 but it still as a better minimap than PoE's, look how easy it is to read compared to 0:27 in the video Spoiler The blue line of exploration isn't necessary if you put a transparent color where you visited. A transparent color also helps identify what's walkable from what's not. The main problem with the original map is that it showed too much detail, the problem is still present, you only made it more Hi-res Completely agree. If there is one thing that should be done like D3 it's the mini map. Map should be clear and concise. I don't need to see stuff on the floor on minimap, I just want to see where I can go. The detail is completely redundant on the overlay. It's a big improvement nonetheless.	Posted by Nionius#3436 on May 12, 2017, 10:54:10 AM Quote this Post
I looks much better, but I think the blue vision line is unnecessary. Still much improvement over the current one, thanks!	Posted by BrutalBydle#1678 on May 12, 2017, 11:02:31 AM Quote this Post

Sorry to be blunt, but this change should have happened two years ago. If you guys need engineers, hit me up. It'd be nice to see PoE maintain its spirit but improve on its delivery.	Posted by cathartist#1209 on May 12, 2017, 11:26:27 AM Quote this Post
Regarding readabilty, have you thought about making the detailed model layer optional too? The walkability layer on its own actually seems like a pretty good simplistic minimap.

This is yummy. 3.0 hype!!	Posted by cutlerbeast#3280 on May 12, 2017, 11:32:49 AM Quote this Post
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Finally the minimap changes. I don't mind if I can't switch to 'classic' mini-map if that isn't available. Now my friends have no excuse to not play PoE.	Posted by Macromute#0416 on May 12, 2017, 11:42:50 AM Quote this Post
