Quest markers in solstice only show when outside Sunport

Flangdoodle · July 16

This isn't actually a bug, it's more of an annoyance so I'm posting it here.

Here's the issue: when you're doing quests in Solstice and you are in some district of Sunport, if you zoom the map out to show the whole island (to see where the quest is taking you) the map doesn't show the quest marker - it just shows the door you have to go to in sunport, to exit. To see the location you need to exit Sunport entirely and then look at the map.

Maybe an example would make more sense: So I'm starting the quest "The Gift of Death". The quest is given to you in Vinutilmo Palace. The quest task says "Go to Corelanya Crypt", but if I open my map to see where Corelanya Crypt is it shows me a map of Sunport with the door of Vinutilmo palace highlighted:

Ok, so then I exit Vinutilmo Palace and I'm standing in the Palace District. NOW if I open my map it looks like this:

So now I have to exit the Palace District. When I exit the Palace District, my map looks like this:

Then I take the wayshrine to the Sunport Docks wayshrine which is outside of Sunport, and now when I open the map FINALLY I can see where Corelanya Crypt is:

But I had to exit 3 areas in Sunport before I could see Corelanya Crypt on the map! Is there some reason I can't just open the map and see where the referenced place is?

Sometimes it works if I hit J->M, right click quickly so it zooms out, and then try a second time. I do wish there was a way for it to check that you're in the same zone and just display the zoomed-out map.

Any walled off city has the same problem

We used to see quest markers from within cities. I have noticed this with any DLC in the past few years. Have not paid attention if the original zones have this issue, but most of those cities are not in instanced area.

However, there is a a trick. Open the Journal, find the quest and select show in map. If it is a delve zoom out to see where it is in a zone.

It's been like this with cities for a while. It's really annoying to have to port out to a wayshrine just to see where I'm supposed to go for a quest.

This is one of my biggest pain points. Show location should show the location. We don't need help finding the way out of town.

Annoys me as well.

I always port to Cliffshade when I need something in Greenshade, then immediately run to the wayshrine only to find that I can't see any marker except the one showing the entrance way I just walked through.

By Azura, I really wish they’d fix/change this. Incredibly annoying.
