The regular minimap already is. The Vidiotmaps one is not part of the base game.

 

Can we have the regular maps made more vidiotish? With all the additional markers added to the official maps?

"Eden" text still does not show up when mousing over the city map.

Also, now that the TUNNEL's are all connected, perhaps we don't need Two in zones like Night Ward, for example.

That's a problem with Vidiotmaps. It shows correctly in the base game.

Build 3 - November 7th, 2020

 

Map Changes

• Minor tweaks and additions to Steel Canyon, Skyway City and Faultline for the new story arcs (contacts, mission locations, etc)

Pocket D

• War Witch has been relocated to the ground floor of the club, just underneath her previous location
  • This change was made in order to minimize disruption to any roleplay going on in the upper floor
• An entrance to Recluse's Victory has been added to the Pocket D arena
  • DJ Zero doesn't approve of fighting, so if you use this exit, there's no way back to the club from Recluse's Victory - you're on your own

Kings Row

Under advisement from Vanguard, the Paragon City Council has demolished and sealed shut the former tunnel connecting Kings Row to Galaxy City and reinforced that section of the War Wall to protect the citizens of Kings Row after the strange energy spike that destroyed the teleporter network. The Kelly Graham Foundation has commissioned a new statue of Galaxy Girl to stand in the former location of the Hazard Zone gate, and a small ceremony was held with the former residents of Paragon Heights.

• The tunnel that previously connected Kings Row to Galaxy City has been sealed
  • A new statue of Galaxy Girl stands where the tunnel used to be
  • This also fixes this area of the War Wall not turning off during Rikti Invasions
• Minor updates and additions for the new story arcs

Independence Port

• Minor updates and additions for the new story arcs
• The power lines above Admiral Sutter's helicopter have been moved

All PvP Zones

• Accolades, most Incarnate powers and various temporary powers are now disabled
• See the PvP Updates section above

Recluse's Victory

• Support AVs now spawn at level 52 instead of level 54

Siren's Call

• Rotated the entire zone by 90° in order to match the city map
• Added a Free Fire Zone Helicopter to the top of the Hero hospital
  • A rooftop access door has been added

Peregrine Island

• Added a Free Fire Zone Helicopter near the Arena

Perez Park

• Hazard lights added to the Galaxy City gate

Ouroboros

• Can now be accessed at any level through an Ouroboros Portal

Cimerora

• Can now be accessed at any level (rather than 35+) as long as you can access The Midnighter Club

Echo: Galaxy City

• Closed the Perez Park gate
• Added an Echo transporter (was previously using the monorail as an exit)

City Map

• The old city cartographer has... retired
• After 15 years, Brickstown is now the correct shape on the city map

Since exploration badges are now more important can you move the faultline badges from the echo to the live version?

Echo zones are not in Long Range Teleporter. Exploration badges in Echo zones do not enable access to the live zones in LRT.

So to the faultline zone badge you won’t need the echo badges?

You only need ONE exploration accolade to unlock the Porter. Once it is unlocked you only need ONE badge from each subsequent zone to add it as a destination.

Quick suggestion:

Wouldn't the yellow line be routed around Galaxy City, if the zone is been closed off?

 

[Aberrant]

Realised there's another in-game Paragon map texture that could use updating with Kallisti Wharf, Faultline's flood, Brickstown, the moved Eden/Hive and Galaxy City: the hologram map in Recluse's tower in Grandville.

The routes on the maps also don't show the current connection between the PTA Red Yellow and Green Lines.  I understand the lines on the map as their traditional older separate routes.  But you do have a good point there, the Yellow Line should have had a routing change.

 

I like that the map has been updated and shows us where all these zones are.

 

Though I think the PTA Red Line and Outbreak got overlooked.  On the other hand, I think the Red Line, which went through Outbreak, got completely destroyed in the initial Rikti attack.

 

Nothing like fixing things to have the lore aligned in retrospect. 🙂
