New Vet Reward "Revealed"
Take that labs that lead to dead ends pointlessly!
Well, that's useless.
If you've been playing for that long, you already know each and every map in the game *anyway*.

I like it. I much prefer neat things for vet rewards as oppossed to "must have coolness!" items.

i don't. Admittedly i can recognize most of them almost immediately, but i don't have every single map layout memorized. There's a lot of them, even if they're made from the same basic modules for the most part. Also, some maps start the same, but then diverge in their layouts. There are some city zones (Shadow Shard) that i haven't completely mapped on my alts either.
Overall i'll probably find Reveal more useful than the 60 month reward. On most alts i don't take travel powers until the twenties anyway.

i make stuff...
I wouldn't use it. I do know the layout of most maps, but I use the fog of war to show me where I've been. Remove that, and it'll be much harder to find that last hostage or glowie.
If it lists fog of war and reveals glowies/hostages as well, could be a real boon for speed TFs/hard to find hostages/glowies.
Nice perk

Will it work on city maps? I hope so. I have the vidiot map plugin so I can see where explore badges are (seems like they havent done an update in forever?) and on some zones, you can see the badges even when you havent ever been in the map. However, for some zones such as Faultline and Dark Astoria, its hard to see the little vidiotmap icon if you have city map fog of war.
So, I'd love this for doing explore badges!
Of course, having a map with explore badges on it isnt part of the official client, so I understand if the reveal power doesnt happen to work on city maps. I'm just hoping I get lucky on this.

If it'll work on Zone maps, I'd use it on alts so I don't have to keep feeding my OCD every time I create a new character.
This will have a big impact on my gameplay.
I always believed everyone has one or two things they're anal about. With me, I discovered it's the fog of war in CoX. Whenever I'm traveling, I wind up altering my route to clear away more of the fog on whatever map I'm on. If I have a few minutes, I'll take out a few minutes to clear away a section of the map.
I didn't realize I was that anal about it until I saw this thread and thought "but..... but...... what will I do during those few minutes downtime?" I'm starting to have a sad realization that I'll probably still do it manually.

Fleeting is right--this has been in the game for forever, and there has been zero indication that it will ever be implemented. I'm not stupid, I mean it probably will be, but I'm getting tired of seeing (and I know the OP isn't explicitly doing this) "OMG, 63 MONTHS RWRD SUCKS!!" I could write a laundry list of things that "exist" in the game, but were never implemented and don't do anything.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea? Beside the fact that we have pretty repetitive maps in the game right now, what about when GR hits and we (I'm hoping) get a large number of new maps? With a click you can just see the whole layout? Where's the mystery? The sense of discovery?
This game is easy enough as it is without nerfing the FoW.

Another possibility is that it's a dev-only power.

Makes badge hunting on my alts sooooo much easier.

That.
I'd rather have had a skip the first 10 levels on any new character badge. Or, unlock a new costume slot. Something I'd use anyway.

unless it includes zones... which would be spiffy. no more having to run around trying to reveal Perez Park so you can use vidiots to find the entrance to a mission.

I think you underestimate our fools, sir.
Why /duel is a bad idea
Useful outdoors on new maps so you can go straight to badges/points of interest without wandering about or checking locations.
Don't see why I'd use it indoors though. As stated by others on a kill all mission this would be a killer.
What I really want is a find the next mob power that targets the closest mob on the map (if any) so that kill alls never become bug hunting orgies.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

Same. I'll never use it unless it also reveals glowies, boss locations, and/or unsaved hostages.
I suppose I'd use it on City Maps for new characters, though, if it works there.

I like it. But does it really need to be every 5 minutes? Does it work in Hazard zones? It'd be nice to just have all that terrain revealed.
