The options of how to favourite a map are horrible, you either pause the match you are playing and favourite the map there (no one those because they want to play the match and enjoy the map they are playing in and don’t want to waste time or a chance of winning a match just to favourite the map, also most players don’t even know of that option and is again hidden on the pause menu). The second way to favourite a map is through the FarCry website (no one will probably use that option because it requires to much work! Computer>Website>Log In> Search Map> Favourite map, sometimes we might even forget about the map’s name). MY REQUEST is that your team should place a “favourite option” post game, When we players are rating the map, there should be a small visual option (for favouriting the map) placed somewhere on the same screen where we rate the map we played. After we rate the map, you then give us the option to favourite the map into our playlist (just like you did after showing us our stats post game, you then take us to rating the map). Here it is simple from a press of a button to favourite the maps and where everyone can see and will notice the Favourite option, and it’ll most likely give all players the chance to actually give thought and choose if they want to add this on their favourite playlist too. I hope you can add this on to your next update. I am not trying to be rude! I enjoy playing FarCry 5 as well as Arcade and this is just a recommendation that I have for your team on making the game more of an enjoyment to play (not that it already is!). Please let me know on your thoughts soon about this tweak to implement into FarCry Arcade.
I agree that a post game option to Favourite a map would be less clunky than the present in-game option. I usually end up hitting replay just so I can then favourite it then bail out again. And also the whole business of not being able to return to your last Filter setting instead of being force-fed some random map is irritating to say the least. I can only imagine it must be a whole lot trickier to program because as a bit of interface design it's amazing it got past testing.
There should then also be a button to see all maps made by the user you just played or top rated so people can get interested in more maps by the same user. Or even a way to favorite the user so you dont have to type there name in at the end of the match click a button and check out the rest of maps made by your favorite map maker.
Favorite map maker button.
Yeah, I think it's unfortunate that Arcade wasn't designed with proper content management and browse interface. Instead, they implemented some of that ("follow map makers") on a separate website that places "maps I may want to check out" on the same level as your FAVORITE maps in advance to load them in the game. And you still have to favorite those maps manually too.
I've kinda given up providing feedback at this point. Still hoping Arcade could be more community-catering from the game though.
