So, I was playing some SoA today, doing my business, grabbing sigils and such.However, after about 3 minutes I noticed something strange.
I actually had my minimap! It was fully functional, showing teammates, and showing the Harvester as a red dot when he was close.
Here's an expanded version:
Anyone else have this occur? My mind was pretty blown. I sent a bug report, like a good boy. Still pretty strange and cool, though!
Thanks for an interesting post. I've never seen this (probable) bug.
Also, if you die and 'watch' someone with the minimap, you get it while watching them.
Actually this is a reproducible bug. The way it's reproduced actually is why laggy people tend to get it more.
Also when this happens the harvester gets an icon on the minimap.
Oh wow, I managed to do the same thing. Unfortunately nobody in the party had much experience with the event and nobody thought being able to use the minimap was something special. (Which is strange considering theirs should have been full of static but perhaps one of them also glitched it.) It really hammers down the need for sprinting and/or using speed boosts because of how huge the playing field is.
It happened to me as well, once.
I don't know if it's a bug, or a rare 'bonus'
