I spend more time pulling up my map trying to find my group mates in open world than I do playing the game.
Mayne it's been asked before, but I couldn't find it. But an on screen mini map in either the upper left or right hand side of the screen would be very helpful. Something that would show you the direction you group mates have gone. Right now, the compass isn't much help. Alot of times it will only show the group lead and other people that are in my group are missing.

Apparently not.
You'll get used to it, especially when you become more familiar with the compass markers and what they mean.
It's not what you're used to, that's all.4 -

Lol - tell that to the guys screaming for text chat (pun intended!).
OT, no mini-map definitely takes getting used to. Good for immersion, tho - find myself looking around more. Found my first Nirnroot today. Missed that sound."M'aiq is glad he has a compass. Makes it easy to find things. Much better than wandering around like a fool." - some cat I met on the road0 -
Perhap the reason they havent bothered putting in mini on PC is because the players have a choice with addons. They should add a mini to the console with a toggle, a good toggle option would be to make a loop with the current map button. Off>mini>full>off

You are being very un-Elder Scrolls right now.

✭✭✭✭I object. Your minimap will break my immersion. I won't allow it.
Seriously though, it's been one of the most common complaints ever since the PC launch. There actually was a minimap in the beta, but ZOS removed it at one point because ZOS logic. And now we all have to do with addons. I guess console players are out of luck.3 -
I'm sorry, right over my head. I actually had immersion on my mind when posting that. I imagine going into the option menu every time i wanted to peak at the mini would be worse. Besides, having to open a fullscreen map every time is even more immersion breaking than a mini. In my opinion.2

A small wait inbetween toggle and on screen results would improve my idea, wouldn't have to see the mini if all you want is the full and vice versa.0

Ah the joys of no longer playing on PC/MAC... No players modding the game!!!
out of curiosity: how do other players using mods ruin your game?

Zazaaji✭✭✭✭I'd like a minimap for consoles (and PC) built in as well.

Wasn't going to make one for this, it's not as big a deal as the other polls I've made. There at least is a compass system in this game, which points out all quest giver and completers's direction.

I don't get the "what you do with your game makes me enjoy my game less" mentality either, but it's surprisingly prevalent.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

It's one thing not to create a feature to begin with. But it is ludicrous to spend man hours on something then pull it out unless it was crappy.An Avid fan of Elder Scrolls Online. Check out my Concepts Repository!0 -

It doesn't effect his game what so ever. No reason to worry about what I have running. Nothing is a cheat. I play both PC and and PS4. I will stick with PC ultimately because of the UI on the PS4. It is good but not good enough.

Multiplayer isn't really an Elder Scrolls thing. Or cosmetic crafting styles. Or fishing. Or exclusive class skills. This entire game shouldn't exist if you want to stay true to your flawed vision of the Elder Scrolls traditions.Mini maps are not really an elder scrolls thing and I hope they never will be.
Morrowind had a minimap, btw.1 -

They pulled it during the time when the game was too MMO, not enough Elder Scrolls. Minimaps are not Elder Scrolls, hence, no minimap.I did not know this. Are you serious?

You know, the reason I never understood the resistance to minimaps is that they're the least conflicting with the Elder Scrolls spirit change we got. How is it so different from a compass? Other than being 10x easier to orient yourself with. It's funny, but since I started using a minimap, I've been paying more attention to my immediate surroundings. That's because I no longer pull up the world map every 5 minutes, I just glance at the corner of the screen for a second and I'm back to playing. Immersion is a strange thing.They pulled it during the time when the game was too MMO, not enough Elder Scrolls. Minimaps are not Elder Scrolls, hence, no minimap.1 -
