Suggestion for next update: Finding Fixers on the map

A suggestion for the devs, could we have the fixers on the map show up as a cross rather than a dot? This would help locating your fixer without having to swing your camera view around to find them.
Thanks for all the hard work.

Love,

Great idea,
If this is implemented, i dont need to find u to heal, u come to me for healing.

 

This would be cool for the few people actually aware of the fixer. A lot of people just disappear in different directions or avoid every box/bolt I throw at them so probs useless for these kind of people >_>

 

I'd love this small but effective feature

 

It takes away part of the skill of the game. Maybe you shouldn't run from your fixer...

 

Great idea, since I play speeder, mini map is essential. This would be so helpful.
But what about the unfriends fixer? Would that be a + ?

 

Not sure how this takes away skill. You've never been separated from your fixer? Sometimes the best way to help your team is to draw fire away from your group and then come back to heal up with your fixer. It doesn't take a lot of skill to camp out with your fixer.

 

That's a great idea as well. Maybe they could do both.

 

I think just seeing your own fixer is enough. No need to put a bigger target on the enemy fixer than they already have. In a real battle you wouldn't expect the enemy to broadcast their locations. I can definitely see speeders using this as a means for better hit and runs. As a shooter I now regret making this suggestion.

 

Well i still hope there's hp indicator too on screen, so i can turn and go to ppl who not run back to fixer

 

Good point... it should, probably, therefore cost $300. To be in line with all the other things that gloss over lack of 'skill'.

 

I think an enhancement to the information available on the mini map could surely be simply introduced and would be greatly appreciated by all. What id like to see is a beacon when a friend makes a comment e.g. they turn yellow or even flash slightly.

While were on the subject of fixers and communication id love a new button that says "thanks" for when that box, pulse or bolt appears out of nowhere to keep me in the fight

 

Why shoud anyone comes to you for healing? You‘re a selfish fixer.

 

What if Sewah is busy (working selflessly) fixing on the other side of the map and youre in desparate need of an hp boost? Then itd be handy to know where the fixer is to get over to them...

 

My main ship I use is a fixer. Honestly takes more to play than any other ship. I have to worry about the other 4 guys that normally I have to zip around the map to heal because why stay together. Also you stay with your fixer so that speeder doesn't eat me

 

Situational awareness, in particular being aware of what your teammates are doing, is the primary skill needed to be succesful in the Bay. Play 1k games as a Fixer and you'll start understanding why some players outperform their level(and gear) and why some people are stuck below 2k in a mk5. Great players are easy to heal (and make sure to protect their Fixer when needed).

I'm not a fan of dumbing the game down (although it would make my life easier when playing Fixer).
