I always have to push the touch pad to display the on-screen waypoint markers during a mission. The waypoint market then disappears after about 15 seconds and I have to continuously push the pad again to display it. By default, the radar always shows an arrow pointing towards my objective, but I find the additional waypoint markers very helpful.
ALSO:
Distance to the waypoint should also be on display next to the marker, exactly how it displays when you push the touch pad in explore mode to indicate the nearest missions. Knowing the distance to the waypoint makes everything much more intuitive. Just my opinion.
I would at least like to see a toggle for these options, if not having them become default.
By the way... I freaking love this game already, thank you bungie <3

Edited by FarawaySkies: 7/19/2014 10:10:49 PMI actually had an idea for this. Would be nice if you could tap the touchpad like you do to bring up waypoints and then depending on which one your facing with the ghost/waypoints still up, you face the waypoint you want to go to and then press and hold the touchpad to lock on the waypoint. Then this particular waypoint doesn't go away until you reach it or select a new one/leave zone or you could open the menu again with touchpad and then press and hold to deselect it (thought i might add that bit in case it wasn't obvious). Another thing to consider is that some way points are parts of quest which go away when you arrive to it and appear in new location. If you were locked on to one of these types of waypoints it would only make sense that the game automatically locked you onto every consecutive waypoint until the mission is over with. Also a distance in meters from the waypoint is brilliant. If these were added by launch id be ecstatic. Because of my ADHD I'm constantly getting sidetracked fighting useless mobs because I forgot to tap the touchpad again to see where the waypoint is that keeps disappearing.
