So who ignored the warning?

So who ignored the warning?

When you spend points in map nav, you can't reset it so it is advised that you don't do it.

But has anyone ignored this warning and spended points in map nav?

most people pre SL did, I'm guessing a lot of froobs too, seeing as its next to impossible to get 700 map nav without spending IP, for those certain high req maps.

This is something that has been widely discussed on the AO forums, and FC is hoping to change in the next patch or 2

I have points in MapNav in about my first 3 or 4 characters (these include my 2 mains), but not a great deal, basicaly just a few to get that elusive 'enemies' upgrade in that little bit earlier lol.

yeah ppl tended to dump a few IP in to get the upgrades early on. I know I slapped a few IP in my main pre lvl 100. None of my Alts have spent IP in it though

Personally, I'm wondering why Funcom isn't using a slightly harsher version of overequipping on ingame maps. Along the lines of maps getting disabled when you don't currently have the required skill for a certain playfield map. But who knows what exactly will be coming with the next patch.

Actualy, if you read the descriptions for MapNav, it actualy says the higher your MapNav the more detail you will see on the PF maps...

Yes, but there is a lot of stuff in game and in the database that never made it actually into the game. You know, like organization disadvantages (to lower the cost of owning organization advantages (now contracts), or some really fun Fixer nanos. I liked the concept of the one that was supposed to allow you to walk through locked doors. :wink:
