Wrong locations

Elulee · #1 03-15-2005, 12:00 AM

Hello there

First of all let me say the project is AWESOME! Really appreciated.

My question is why there are many POI which are in the wrong location? IE Nek Forest, Torches of Forewarning.
Some POI are double entries, some are simply not necessary like the double Sprawl Entrance in Commonlands map.

I take it the maps will get more and more refined but some staging mechanism and evaluation of information submitted would help.

The maps rely on user-input data from the website. There are some double entries because the game sends down its own icons for some zones, so the choice is to either not have one on the website, or have double in the game. And if anyone sees that the website is missing one, it'll get re-added.

If you see an inaccurate POI, there's a system to report them on the website.

Well, perhaps there could be an attribute for a POI to indicate that it shouldn't be shown? or maybe a separate way to define some POIs that are only shown on the web page?

As of a day or two ago, the ingame POIs now display their website UID. Just take down the UID of the bad ones, go to the website, put them in the jump to POI box, and hit enter. Enter a comment telling me why this is bad and click the checkbox that says click if this POI is wrong.

A few days ago if you ticked the POI is wrong box it flagged the POI as pending intervention and it was temporaraly removed from the map until someone (an admin im guessing) verified the POI.

Now that doesnt seem to be happening. I flagged a couple yesterday (the north and south bandit camps in TS) as duplicating default ingame POI's but they are still on the map and werent flagged when i added the comments.

is this on purpose?
