So the glowing line showing you exactly where to go? No clue but I always hated those. If the game is just going to show you how to play why bother?
It would be amazing for Leaders to Set up marks on the map for Cluster Points, strategy and tactics. You think the actual system on Planetside 2 is good? Welp..
So long as you get the option to toggle it off. I don't see the problem having it. But I think that's too much work to implement.
Would be helpful to AMS drivers to create multiple ant trails to confuse defenders and maybe even give individuals or squads a slight bonus if a kill is made on the dynamically assigned ant trail. People that don't like way points...can shut them off in their UI and go about their business.
Have you played Firefall? I'm having trouble figuring out how you equate a navigation aid to being told how to play the game. Especially a game like Firefall. And, quite frankly, I don't like having to check my map at every third intersection to make sure that the road I'm following on Amerish will eventually lead to the fight I'm trying to join. It's tedious.
If I wanted to go around checking which direction I should turn at the next six intersections, I'd trash my GPS and get lost in my car somewhere.
