A few days ago we told you that New World was beginning to receive positive reviews on Steam, which made them become “Mostly positive” after going through a somewhat chaotic streak since its launch. However, we already warned you that this was not going to prevent fans from continuing to complain or feel annoyed by some details, and this is what has happened now with regard to the interface of the MMO by Amazon Games.
In this type of game, the map is practically essential, since you need it to search for dozens of resources or objectives, among other things. However, New World lacks a minimap, which “forces” the players to be opening the main map continuously. One user on Reddit has complained about it, saying that he is “losing track of where things are in cities” and has built a minimap to help, which you can already get from Overwolf.
A very useful minimap
As explained by the GameRant medium, the user Morbrid and a friend wanted to create their own minimap that replace the bar quick access to skills by a standard minimap that looks very similar to the compass of Skyrim. This is located in a small part of the screen and fulfills its main function, in addition to not having to continually open the main map.
However, this map not only marks your location, but also shows the location of merchants, the resource nodes and it also allows you to zoom in and out of the image. “I partnered with my friend to build a minimap so I can help improve the game’s interface, keep us from getting lost in cities, and make it a bit more efficient collect resources while doing missions, “explains Morbrid.
The reception that this creation has obtained has been quite good, since some players have highlighted that feel relieved finding this as an alternative in your hours and hours of exploration. However, it is not clear to this day if New World supports this type of add-ons, since in its Terms of Service there are few words regarding tricks and modifications.
