Today, we'd like to share two additional map tools that we used during the recent Server Slam event! Diablo 2., Diablo 3, and Diablo 4 Mapsįrom the last 3 games, Diablo 2 comes with the overlay if you want it, Diablo 3’s mini-map is slightly larger so you can see more, and then there’s the smaller Diablo 4 map.During Diablo 4's Early Access and Open Betas, we shared a very well-received interactive map tool made by Map Genie. That, said, not having an overlay map won’t stop players from doing this and they’ll just quickly toggle back and forth from the main map. They know players will just run past mobs to reach their goal. The advantage of the overlay map is that you can keep moving, but that could be the reason why they are not adding it. The mini-map in Diablo 4 is pretty small and it’s not that helpful, I know I was constantly switching to the map view, especially in Dungeons where the paths would loop around back to the start. It’s the only reason, unless there is some weird technical reason, that we can think of as to why Blizzard is opposed to this. So why are they opposed to adding an overlay map? It’s a question we’ll never fully know the answer to but perhaps they are wanting players to focus on the game and not the map while playing. So there you have it, you are going to be switching back and forth I’m afraid. Rod Fegusson posted in response to the question of whether they plan to add the feature.

The option of an overlay map has been one of the most requested things we have seen since the beta began but it doesn’t look like it’s going to be added. In Diablo 4, this is not an option, you need to switch the map view which takes you away from the gameplay.

Blizzard’s recent list of changes following feedback from the community went down well but there was one glaring omission, an overlay map.Īs season Diablo players, most of us are used to running around with the overlay map toggled on when trying to find objectives or a new path.
