I've created two Praetorian characters. One of them was created first thing upon starting up CoH, and had zowies visible on the map by default. The other was created after logging out of a non-Praetorian character, and didn't have them visible by default.

It's possible that those of us who've fiddled with what's being shown on our maps have somehow saved these settings somewhere, and these settings don't include Zone Glowies, Precincts and Lounges. So then that would be a problem for aloof veterans more so than for new players. Even so, considering a large portion of the new players ARE returning veterans who, by their very nature, would be off their game, means that this option should have been overridden when the feature came out.

Code:
Set all icon sets to be "off" Check to see if there's a map profile yes: Load saved map profile no: Load default profile For each icon set in profile Show icon set on map
They should change it to:
Code:
Set all icon sets to be "on" Check to see if there's a map profile yes: Load saved map profile no: Load default profile For each disabled icon set in profile Turn icon set off on map
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

It would really be different if the Search function for the boards was first-rate and easily referred you to the already-posted answer, but need I go on?
It takes as much effort to post a flame as to just answer the question.
The last question I had to ask on the boards surely must sound idiotic to anyone that knows, but I did not... for whatever reason, up to and including me being an idiot.
I owe a lot of folks a good deal of gaming enjoyment because they answered my stupid questions without noting for the record that the question, and its asker, were therefore stupid. So when I know, I answer the question in Broadcast. If it is not straightforward, ie, "How do I get a cape?", then I will briefly list the requirements and the exceptions, ie, Vet rewards and booster capes, again, briefly.
I ask not for whom the Stupid Bell tolls!
My thanks again to all that have helped me, and to the Wiki authors and maintainers for their services, which debt cannot ever be repaid.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

I got greeted by a couple of yells of, "They're on your map!"
Um, no, they're not. Oh, wait... What's this? *forehead slap!* You have to turn them on to be seen! I foresee that this is going to be a rite of passage for an awful lot of players in Going Rogue. This was my first Praetorian character, so I don't know how the option to display outdoor glowies got turned off when it was never even an option before, but there you go. I did write up a /bug and filed it under the "Suggestion" category, that during the very first outdoor glowie mission, it needs to be printed in bold yellow text that if you cannot see them on your map, check to see if you have your settings set to display them. Hopefully, they'll do that, or maybe even print it in every mission text that has your traipsing around looking for them in case you forget or the settings get wonky again. |
I Didnt have to turn them on.

It seems to be sort of hit or miss, or maybe as Samuel said, linked to what you were doing just before. Every alt I made during the beta had them turned on, yet the live character I started didn't.

Mine were not on, and I keep having to turn them BACK on, when I log in.
Dr Tanaka 50 Stone/Stone Tank
Cool MacCool 50 AR/Ice Blaster
Cold MacCool 50 ice/ice Blaster
Alura Darkstone 41 Brute Dark/Stone
Dr Akanat 40 Brute Stone/Stone
and many more

Now that right there, IS a bug. That's very weird and if you have it clicked that way at one point, it should stay that way at least on that character forever until you change it again. |

I doubt it's connected but you know how the character order kept changing, even if you organized your characters a certain way? It's frustrating like that, I guess.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

When I last ran the rose bush mission, you could just click on the same bush over and over to get the flowers. Which made a lot of sense, t'be honest. I mean, ever seen a rose bush with one flower? Didn't think so...
