Small icon for yourself on minimap

I would really like to see a small icon for yourself on the minimap, as I find it hard to visualize where I am looking on the map when there is a lot of trouble going around you.

Seems pretty obvious where you are and where you are looking.

You may require glasses, it may be wise to visit an ophthalmologist.

Well, thank you for your nice comment.

Although you may think otherwise, I am able to see the direction I am looking at just fine but I noticed that it is not that easy to see as in other games and maybe thought it would be nice to give some feedback for small, QOL improvements.

Seems like it isn’t wanted here though.

Yeah I agree, it would be nice to get a small icon since teammates have one and the bots in your squad have one as well. Don’t bother with Owl he’s little special.

The existing marker for both the PC and the bots is more than enough to clearly tell where you are, and where the AI are, if you are unable to see it, I am genuinely concerned about your eyesight. Or perhaps you are running on a very tiny resolution.

The minimap is already cluttered due to the game being designed with so much AI, having more unnecessary clutter wouldn’t really be a good thing.

Yeah love the clear marker for the player. Oh wait there is none. The pic you sent is a bunch of squad mates and teammates with arrows pointed on absolute mishmash of everything, doesn’t help one bit.
Sure when I look at the map I can see that the side that is dark is behind me while the light one is in front of me, but when there is 21 artillery spammers on me, my cam is shaking, everything is red, and I have to mark something or wanna know where to go, I don’t have to time to check which grey is darker and which lighter.
A simple green arrow that has visual priority over the other players and bots would be nice, hell you could make it possible to turn it on and off so people don’t get confused by too many markers if that’s a problem for you.

It’s beyond obvious where the field of vision is, and it’s beyond obvious exactly where you are on the map and to which part of it you are looking.

It takes 0.1 seconds to look at the minimap and process all that information, if you need minutes to figure out what is what, that is a problem with you, not the game.

When 2 out of 3 people explain how it isn’t obvious but mister Owl with his Owl eyes can process 300 different information in 0,1 second while under fire while his cam is shaking, while everything is red and is deeply offended that not everyone is capable of such things. Worse yet, people are making attempts on his life by, dare I say it, by proposing an optional additional marker? Are they MAD?
