Make the Visible On Map checkbox persist

419 votes

At the moment, the setting for your visibility on the map does not persist. It would be good if this could do so, maybe on a world by world basis. We keep running into the issue of people reconnecting and no longer being visible until they toggle the setting again, and it's quite often only noticed at a point where they have an urgent need to let us know where they are!

I was about to make a new thread but here it is already.

Make the "Visible to other players" checkbox ON as default. This would make sense also because the PVP setting is OFF as default.

I'm shocked that this isn't already a thing. I guess it's just a symptom of a new release.

absolutely it is annoying you have to do it over and over again

there could be a reason it is set this way

so you cant be seen by any players that want to harm or grief you right after you connect to the server, imagine how frustrating this would be

the thing that is frustrating you guys right now is not on the games side but more on your side, because you seem to forget what to do first after you connect to the server
anyways, i know this problem well and tend to forget it too from time to time
trying to work on myself :-)

I agree with this suggestion, although, I think it would be best if the option was saved for each the server. If you like to hop servers often, you may not always want your location given away or have to think about switching it back when you go from a home server to a PVP server.
