Active Harrowstorms need a map indicator, for all of our sanity

It'd even be nice if you could show the progress on them, such as how many pikes are left. But that's not necessary. What is necessary, is giving us a little bit of heads up so we don't spend 30 minutes running to places that wont complete our quest.

I guess, but at times like now they are spawning so fast just go stand next to one and it will come up. My biggest issue is a couple of them there is no near wayshrine. So they are done before you get to it.

They don't spawn fast enough, especially if you get to one and it j--ust finished.

All I hear about in chat is how people hate that they had to run to 3 different ones before they found one that wasn't done by the time they got there.

I wont even get to the problems on consoles where the boss doesn't show up until after you've been there a few seconds so you can literally get there and watch the boss die and not be able to target it or get credit.

I have waited more than half an hour at Dwarf's Bane yesterday. And then 20 minutes at Old Karth which was, incidentally, caught on Arthremis' stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/videos/750738104?t=02h11m54s ). Actually, the whole 1,5 hours I was in the group consisted of us quickly doing our delve and WB dailies and then trying to chase/wait for the harrowstorms. One of us didn't get the harrowstorm in the end because of being low level on a slow horse. So yeah.
Funnily enough the day before that Dwarf's Bane spawned 5 times in a row very quickly. So there's absolutely no consistency and you can't even predict when and where the next one will spawn. And, of course, like you mentioned, them being far away from the wayshrines contibutes to the overall problem of wasting an hour of your life trying to get one simple daily done.

Totally agree with this idea. Was in Blackreach waiting for Nightstone to pop up. There were at least 30-40 other players there waiting as well. 20 minutes went by, no storm. Would love to share the screenshot, but on PS4.

This would be really great.

Just make them turn dark red when active (darker shade for the colorblind).

Park in Morthal. Even with how fast they are going down right now there's 3 of them you can usually get to (with rapids) before they are finished.

I just spent half an hour waiting for a specific HS to spawn. its the one that I didn't clear before, so I figured, might as well get a title while I'm at it. but... they take forever to spawn sometimes. EVEN during times like this. because they are random.

heck I've also seen the same harrowstorm respawn less then a minute or so after players just cleared it and moved on and the only reason i haven't was because I was trying to manage my bags and suddenly - it all went red around me again.

having no wayshrine close enough IS an issue. even after they added couple of extra wayshrines, they are still not close enough IMO. however... this claim that you can just stay there and wait and it will respawn in no time? is false at least some of the time. because of the HS random nature, you cannot guarantee it.
