Dig Spots

Would it not be appropriate that dig spots were marked with a little X?

I think Disney intended for the dig spots to be a challenging part of the game, you are meant to have to find them, now in my opinion, once you have found a certain dig spot you should be able to mark it on your map and add it to a compass setting so you can easily find it again if you need too. But ya, the dig spots in my opinion they should light up with an X to hit shift when you step near them but not until you are on top of them like now, it would just make the game more realistic.

Hope I could help!

I guess you're right. Wouldn't mind them being easier to find though

Now, with all else thats going on in game you want even more stuff to be easy? Its easy enough with the dig spots being the exact same every time you need to dig, you could just go to the wiki and it tells you where all the dig spots are! Isn't that easy enough for you?

Im at a loss to understand here, that is EXACTLY what it does now except that it shows a circle instead of an X. To help to make the game playable (consistent commands), prevent game lag, make it more efficient and run smoother, it makes sense to use the same image/texture (circle) to mark functions of a similar nature.

All green circles require pressing the shift key to initiate action (if there is one available at the time), this makes sense. Its consistent and easy to remember. Oh! Green circle... ill press shift.

X's to mark the spot of buried items is semantics IMO that are unnecessary, might be cool, but very VERY low on my, that would make POTCO better list.

It would be neat if they allowed us to catalog them, ie mark our maps with an X perhaps to find them later when we want. What pirate does NOT mark such places on their maps?!

Aye zep! what i meant by the X thing, it would basically be EXACTLY the same but the inner part of the circle would just have a X in it, and still give you the same message saying "press shift to dig" or whatnot, granted like you said we would all survive if Disney didn't waist there time on it and got some good things coming out.

I like that idea. Zep I agree with you because, most pirates do that. It would be helpful if we could just mark all the dig spots.
