Option to hide map completion/zone guide

xtni

Can we please get an option to hide this unimmersive feature...? I don’t enjoy being forced into being a “completionist”.
So far no addon - including map pins - can remove the map completion bar on the left on map... and besides I don’t believe that an addon should be required for hiding this.
I don’t want to be forced to see how much I have done and much there is left everytime I open the map. It simply takes a lot of focus from playing the game...

If "immersion" is your goal, just never use the map at all.

Explorers had maps... Using one is not immersion-breaking, imo.

I'd be happy with just the option to remove the annoying flashing quest pins if you go from the journal to the map. But if there is an option I haven't seen it. (I know I can turn the quest markers off entirely, but sometimes I want them there, I just don't want one flashing constantly whenever I open the map.)

I know it's just the latest in a long list of examples which imply ZOS thinks anyone wanting to do quests is very stupid and incapable of finding anything which isn't blindingly obvious, so we have to have important quests which cannot ever be removed from the journal just in case you're not sure where to pick it up again, quest givers following you constantly until you accept, markers on absolutely everything which might possibly be relevant, especially if you're asking to put any effort into looking for it and "puzzles" which consist of clicking 3 things in the correct order after a book, an NPC and the quest journal have all told you what that is.

But for whatever reason this is the one which really gets on my nerves. Possibly because I just don't like repetitive flashing animations in general. Yes I often want to look up a quest in the journal, then look at the map to see where to go, but I am capable of understand that the quest marker is showing me the location without it going "it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here" and making it difficult to see anything in the surrounding area because it's covered by the effects.

Yeah, it's odd that we don't have that option.

But TBH, I don't even look at the zone completion thingie most of the time. Only if I'm actually looking to complete a specific zone, and then the achiements are more important than the widget.

You may find some cool stuff in there for you.

I can't remember the last time I noticed it. Certainly not since joining Beam Me Up - because when the map's open, the list of members you can port to covers up the zone guide area.... with a little icon in the top left corner of the map to swap to the guide if you need it.
