    Please explain map icon markers (orange blocks)

    This is very frustrating >< Can't find this info anywhere and its one of the things you'd figure would be part of the tutorial or readily available.


    ... Map icons.

    When you open the map, there are icons (circles) to do stuff. Im lvl 24 now.

    Some of these icons have orange rectangle block markers

    These markers only appear at top, left, right, and bottom of the icon.

    Icons change frequently in what marker is displayed.

    NO, its not the 'Replay' option. How could it be? These orange markers appear on MY icon, party members, etc.
    Some Icons do not have a orange marker at all

    What the **** are these!
    Please and thank you for helpful responses =D

    I don't think I have seen any orange blocks. the only thing I can think that could be orange blocks are discovered extraction points marked in the DZ. other than that, I have no clue. however, usually if you scroll over something on the map it will tell you in the top left corner what it is.

    If you mean the blocks on the edge of the icon it is to signify that is the radio signal you are currently or last listened to. I think

    Attached.

    Ive gotten crap answers all across the board (like "its loot chests have respawned" which is impossible unless all you other players ive been grouping with are smuggling loot chests up your backsides).

    I think saying you got crap answers across the board when your original description was very vague with no screenshot is a little harsh considering people were at least attempting to answer your post. However, I assume you are talking about the 2 rectangle dot like objects around the side missions. Interesting...Ive never noticed those before. Is it on all of them? silly question, but perhaps it is just part of the graphic and means nothing, pure speculation of course, but you have my interest piqued.

    I've been posting about these since closed beta and nobody knows, and Ubi isn't saying. It's a total mystery to everyone. I've even had it suggested that they're just an aesthetic touch (LOL). It's amazing that there's an informational UI element - and I'm sure it's not just an aesthetic! - which nobody can fathom in a AAA game.
