Marker Points

[Seph1roth5]

I know a lot of us know many quests pretty well, but there are sometimes you're running a new quest or maybe one you just don't do a lot and get a bit lost. Or maybe you're running with someone new and have to wait to show them where to go.

What I was thinking is some kind of visual marker, say like the torches from crystal cove. It'd be nice to be able to just toss one down so someone knows which way you headed or not to go a certain way or something.

It would especially be nice for when someone goes afk and you don't want to have the rest of the party just standing around. It'd also help for complicated/overlapping maps like coal chamber if someone falls or goes the wrong way.

Not a bad idea, particularly for big complicated maps. Just a little colored mark on the floor would be sufficient. Perhaps even a directional mark that points in the direction you're currently facing.

Yes i think they should implement something like this, for those big quests, like the pit where if some1 doesn't know the quest quite well and goes afk, they will be lost for quite some time, so making either shiny markers or arrow markers to show that afk person the way, the quest won't be that annoying rather than without a marker =)

Because not all of us carry symbol clickies, which are quite handy for markers yet won't last forever and is still lame not to have real markers.
The flare spell would do, or magic mouth (to say a line into your chat), even the kobold's torch as mentioned.

Or good ole piece of chalk which is still good, besides if you make it poisoned a monster eating it will eventually die and give you xp.
