I personally hate it, I don't think it makes the game harder, I like the game being difficult. It's just annoying, I love the red dot feature on the mini map now... I like to know where I've been without straining to keep the map in my head and plot the routes. I could totally understand in fact, an entire cave without mini maps, making finding the route difficult, this would add to the game and add a different dynamic. Not having a KR minimap, I just don't understand. If you can kill the boss, you can kill it, the mini map makes no difference. in places like the mines or insect, it's just frustrating. My point is, I don't think this makes the game harder or easier, just less enjoyable. For me at least. Would like to hear the developers reasons behind it. Obviously it's not massively game breaking for me, but if you don't bring stuff like this up, it's hard to gauge how strongly the developers / community feel about it. Sorry if this has been discussed before. *Cant use paragraphs on this website!? is there a special trick?*

I get lost looking for khazzard and forget where I have looked, I like this, with a mini map in room I can find khazzard very fast, I don't like this, I like a challenge

Worthing is depressing.

I enjoy the 'unknown' aspect. What would be cool is if you could see a minimap with 2x the range you have on screen with dots to show mobs & gives people a small view of their surroundings. past their own screen/torch.

I'm talking about euro maps, that we all know, and have access to maps anyway. If it's a new cave, I can see the benefit. On old caves I just miss the red dots, I really like those dots :D

Its not fun to not know where your party is...or where you are...

Mini-map does nothing to make game play harder since you just open the map on another screen/phone/tablet whatever... It just makes it annoying.

I agree with this and its what I do, got the ipad next to me looking at the map. ( until the girlfriend takes it away to watch Netflix -.-, then I have to alt tab)

One thing I would like to see improved is the party group blue map dot, unless you are very close to your group member their blue dot does not show up on the mini map. If the range was further it would be better.

Like I said before. I dont remember them and im sure a few others dont either. Just because you do, doesnt mean everybody does/should.

I think not knowing how many mobs are above you or where the next dead end is makes it a little more adventurous and exciting.

Don't get me wrong i'm not going to quit over it, having the minimap up next to me isn't much hassle to be honest, but why should people be able to get advantages like this? I just think it would be better with them ingame, but it's not a massive deal either way.

I much preferred it with minimaps. I just find it irritating without.

Im obviously in a minority. Dont find it exciting or mysterious and I don't think it makes the game any 'harder' it just gets on my tits.

Ingame I had a lot of people say the same to me, on the forums there seem to be a few who REALLY love it. not quite sure I understand it, but that was thepurpose of this thread, seems pretty 50/50 if i'm honest so I cant really say it should be changed, unfortunately for me :(

Takes the piss to get lost in maps thus having to use a map beside the game.
and when you RT you are magically lost and don't know wtf to do.
