Nah, I meant that you obviously have the ability to change them like you did with your second screenshot, so I figured you can just turn them all off.

Marco wrote:Automaps also serve an aesthetic purpose, see chaos sanctuary for example, so it's not necessarily all about the functionality.
Trees in tran automap actually look really nice, although the way I presented it might look too much. Also it doesn't help that laz used wrong tiles for all corners, so there are lots of whitespaces inbetween walls, and that is actually what is hurting the "readability".

Well okay, as long as you can make the map more readable.

Marco wrote:This feature doesn't focus on preventing users to do ubers underleveled, but rather adding another layer of security before accessing an uber from the main storyline. Players will still be able to enter any level from a portal at any time if they desire (this includes cow level of course). It is also worth noting that ubers will be accessed in many more ways in sigma, this includes things like wearable items, oskills, tomes, scrolls, cube recipes or killing a monster. Also many uberquests will be accessed from other uberquests (like twin seas does).

Very impressive! :clap:

It weird to hope for uber with big snow field area? Without dry area or those stone walls thingy.

Add in invisible mobs that cast hailstorm ..... wahlaa you now have BLIZZARD UBER
