Why do I constantly have to keep adjusting my map window to a larger size?

[Ereshkigal]

I keep the map window open very large. But every single time I go to the guild ship, the map window shrinks and I have to resize it manually. Why?

WHY?

It also happens on a few other areas in the game.

Is there any workaround for this, as it's super-annoying?

also, please fix.

thanks,

There are a number of locations where opening the larger, resizable map will default it down to a minimal size. Some quests attempting to resize will just move the map on screen instead. Unfortunately other than just knowing which quests to avoid opening up the map I am not aware of any workaround.

There are worse things the map can do.


In that state it actually will keep spinning around (wish I had bothered to video record it to make a .gif)

Wow, I've never had my window spin.

I run 3440 x 1440 resolution which makes the UI small - but allows me to open the map wide and just leave it expanded all the time, because there's so much real estate on the screen that a large map doesn't block much. I just wish the map didn't automatically downsize the window when the map is smaller than the window size you currently have. Why not just put the map in the center of the map window with a black background around it if it's smaller than the window? Seems like a no brainer, but I suppose back in 2006 most people weren't running high enough resolutions to leave the map expanded all the time.

And the devs torture us with it. Never tell anyone your feelings.

See that one feywild quest, you don't even see your dot on the map.

OMG I have had this—it is the worst. It is like having an anxious talkative type driving shotgun next to you. Aaaah!!!!!
