Would you like a minimap toggle feature on Console?

I hate constantly breaking immersion to see where I need to go. I think console should have a minimap toggle since we don't have access to addons.

    I would like several things on console that pc players get with addons.

    but you don't need to toggle it so how would it break your immersion if I had it toggled?

    This is the only game that I can recall playing that does not have a mini map as an available item for the UI.

    Would you prefer ZOS add a mini-map option instead of just the Compass?

    The PC add-ons allow the PC to have a mini-map

    No, no. By all means, have at it. I don't begrudge you using any tool that ZOS brings to the table.

    I guess I should have said that I have yet to have one single life positively or negatively impacted due to the buff timers.

    As pertains to PC the main reason I enjoy console more is due to the fact that I prefer ALL GAMES with virtually no visual aids. So, while I was on PC, I personally chose to not use add ons. Even great stuff like Awesome Guild Store that have nothing to do with combat. I understood that I was putting myself at a disadvantage and I was cool with it.

    I'm just at a point now where I feel as an opponent having the console buff timers up and me not won't put me at a competitive disadvantage. I'm gonna turn mine off next time I'm on. But by all means, use any legal tool provided to you.

    I gotta say, immersion is a sorry excuse for this to be implemented. I'm pretty sure I don't have a mini-map floating on the edge of my peripheral in real life. If I don't know where I'm going I have to look at a map.

    I would love a mini-map; I can't count the times I've had to stop, open the map and double check that I haven't missed some turn or junction on the road. There are times I know I just need to go North but that's useless if there a giant cliff wall in the way and I have to take a road West that has turns or intersections before heading North again.

    By the eights, yes please! So sick of stopping and going having to periodically look at the map to double check my position. Would have rather they implemented this before the buff timers quite frankly.

    Hunting lorebooks is a nightmare on console, there should be a mini map and the map should have an overlay were you can toggle to show shard, books, wayshrines etc.

    It's just that the map has so much detail ... I don't know how useful a smaller version would be (i.e. Tough to read it)

    I hate constantly breaking immersion to see where I need to go. I think console should have a minimap toggle since we don't have access to addons.

    So let me get this straight...
    You hate to break immersion by looking at a whole map? Which is exactly what immersion would be if you where looking at a map.

    But you'd rather a little toggle map, like you get on shooter game in the corner of your screen... how on earth is this little toggle map more "immersive" than looking at an actual map???
    Imagine running around irl and constantly seeing a little map in the corner of your eyesight... not immersive, the map is far more immersive.

    I'm not fussed over immersion and I'd like this toggle but thought I should point out the flaw in your immersion thinking.

    Toggle on/off.

    You are an odd one, wishing we had less options.

    No, like an MMO, like back in the day UO, then WoW and pretty much every MMO after.

    It helps you stay on track, see nearby places of interest etc.

    We have this built in thing called memory in our brains. Look at map, access available stored memory. I dont use, and never will use a minimap.

    And please fix the map so that we can zoom farther into the map. This is royal PITA if you're not using a monitor but a TV set. This is even worse on a PS4 Pro as the details rather obscure everything on the paltry level of zoom we get. I usually have to walk up to my 55' 4K TV set to actually see the details on the map .... stupid design :-(

    It would be better than having to stop and check the map. I think It would benefit people who are just starting out on eso for the first time and the exsisting players who have created new characters as there is so much to discover/rediscover. A mini map toggle would make it a little be easier especially if it covers a wide radius.

    Those are supposed to be exploration items. It's not that PC gets things others don't. It more like console players get the experience ZOS intended. I personally use those mods only to find the items I missed after completing a zone.

    But yes, you should have a minimap as a toggle-able standard on console, as should PC players. As a PC player, I use the one from AUI.

    I meant breaking immersion by having me stop playing the game to check my map constantly. I want to know where I am in regards to the map while still playing the actual game.

    Wait wait wait....It breaks your immersion to see where you need to go? As in if you were walking somewhere you pull out a map to check it? Seems pretty much on par with this genre / theme.

    On the other hand...Mini Map Call of Duty Style..Possible Fighter jet HUD... And this seems logical for this to fit an ESO game??

    Have I missed something here, Or are my drugs just too strong? Am I playing the right game?
