Thanks again for the personal response, Rothgar. I actually really dig the N,S,E,W just being on the minimap. Makes sense
I'm sure some will find the changes strange or "scary"
, but I think most will come to like them in time. There's always user modification for everything else.
But I hope this does lead to more updates after GU57. Though I hope some of these "planned changes" don't have to wait for a Game Update to make it either to test or live!
