While watching Ultimastrike's twitch stream I have finally discovered the existence of the gate map in the options menu. I honestly don't know how I haven't found this in the ~900hrs I've been playing this game, but it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life. However, for something that I would like to access often, it is fairly annoying to open. Every time I want to open the gate map, I either have to enter the mission menu and go to the arcade tab, hopefully remembering what gate I'm on as the mission menu is really laggy and I don't want to take 30 seconds to see the gate, or unlock my UI and navigate the super tiny options menu in the bottom left corner of my screen.
Please save my lazy soul and make a macro in the controls menu that instantly takes me to the gate map. It really is a useful tool and the fact that I never knew about it over the 7 years I've played this game is a testament to how inconvenient and out of the way it is (and possibly to my obliviousness).
Thats not a macro, but a keybinding to toggle it.
I would like that too, so I could keep my HUD locked.
Apropos: I would like the chat scrolling not to become unlocked on map change, while the rest of the HUD stays locked. It's a bit annoying to have to toggle HUD lock on and off once every map to relock the chat.
