Idea for the World Map

I've only been playing for about a week, but I'm absolutely hooked.
I actually stopped playing to hop on and share this idea, it's very simple and probably has been mentioned, though a search of the site didn't show anything similar....

So my idea is to put a long press option on map squares on the world map which would open up a menu where you can add notes or waypoints.

I know once I'm a veteran of the game I'll probably be able to navigate myself anywhere without difficulty. But as a noob I would like to mark a spot where I can't survive but seems like a good grinding place.

Thanks :)

The map I have that I printed out when I first started has notes written all over it. Hard enemies, shops, beds, quest locations. I think it would be useful, I would also like to zoom out enough to see the entire world at once.

After so long most of it is easy to remember, but it is easy to miss a few things, even if you did it before.

I love this idea! Where it falls on the priority list, compared to new content and other additions to the game is the only real question, to me.

Probably pretty low. It is more polishing than actual content. Somewhere down the line is still on the line 8-)

It's not about how hard or easy, so much as limited time available for the core dev team, and rarity of code contributions from others.

Exactly! Right now the code guys are busy completing stuff for 0.7.0, so new ideas like this would have to wait till later.

Sorrow you've been asking that question a lot. There is no timeframe, I know it is a tough answer to swallow, but it will be ready as soon as everything is ready for it. But that's what makes it so suspensful.
