      Sometimes there is so much stuff going on in chat, that I miss it as well, but was never a big issue TBH - However, would it be possible to indicate the name under/next to the marker who created it, until it gets removed? Maybe even toggable in the options for people who do not like it.

        Maybe if you mouse-over the marker it shows the name of the player who created it and a button to remove it from your screen?

          @gabrilend CTRL+SHIFT+RMB removes them. And I feel like only 20% of players know it.

              These markers should also generate a chat message.

              edit: even though you don't want to hear about it.

                I disagree, colors should stay. It is the OP who is playing in the non-standard method of having all allies blue and enemies red. He's making the issue occur.

                  Having a lot of game messages in chat while simultaneously having minimal height just sounds like asking for a bad experience

                    Not done by the majority, but available in the standard game.

                    If it was a mod, I'd agree with you. But it's not a mod—it's a legitimate option available in stock FAF.

                    Anyway, don't map markers appear in chat now as chatted by the player that placed them?

                      @serpentor What if I am somewhat colorblind? "To hell with these people, they are playing a non-standard way"?

                        That is why there is a chat message.

                            You can always just ignore them, it's a valid tactic that I implement regularly
