<div class="IPBDescription">"we want hives back in hivesight"</div> When I first played Beta1 one of the first things I knowticed was that hives had been removed from the hivesight, the reason I knowticed this was that the first thing I did was played one of the new maps as alien. Although I quickly found the overhead map, I found that, in comparison to the simple 3 green glowies, it actually was far harder to use effectively (as you can't see where you are going while you are looking at it).
I think that keeping hives in hivesight is not an unreasonable request. As a newbie, I can remeber relying heavily on those 3 green blips as I learned the wonders of being a gorge. I don't have anything against the overhead, I just feel it is far less intuitive, expecially to new players, and I never have once found myself wishing that the 3 green blips would be removed; I barely even knowticed them unless one of the hives was under attack, or I was looking for them. So basicly this post is my offical request that hives be reinstalled in hivesight for the sake of new player learning the game, and me learning the new maps. If you at all agree with what I'm saying, or felt this way yourself, please say so, as the whole point of this thread is to get community support.

I kind've like having them out of the way when fighting for a hive or something, it's easier to see.
been killed too often walking blind (with mini map on.. might as well be blind) and going to a hive as gorge and WHAM
with hive sight i have a general idea where it is and can also keep an eye out for marines
so yah..... REVIVE THE HIVE SIGHT!
It would be nice to have <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I also found it a big anoiyance on the new classic maps since its gone. Map navigating helps but gets you shot cause it blocks your view
never noticed <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I use the minimap more than hivemind thingy
So pleeease put it back in <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The novelty it adds for newcomers is completely offset by the hinderence it causes for those who know the map.
Edit: I decided I don't want to keep updating the list, especially figuring out which list some people should go on, so I simply removed it.
I want nothing to do with your 'petition'. I want my opinion to stand alone- not be lumped in with your silly hivesight quest.
I could care less about the help new players need. I was new once, but I didn't need any sort of crutch. Hives on hivesight is an annoyance I would rather live without. To me (and others who have half a brain to learn maps), it's a pointless blip on the HUD that merely gets in the way of combat.
