Does anyone actually use the mission blimps on the map?

I'm curious to know this. Does anyone actually use the blips on the map to start missions? I just use my cellphone or accept other player's invites.

Also, does it annoy anyone seeing all of the icons on your radar? I can deal with it, but I think it could be much cleaner.

The radar thing's been bugging me, yeah. But I do actually use the "blimps" (I think you meant blips) from time to time.

Maybe you should be able to go to a certain cathegory on the Big Map, let's say tattoo parlor, survival or barber shop, and then click "Hide" to hide it on the map.

 

Then you could only show the things you prefer.

I think the star blips labeled as "Mission" are different "missions" from the ones you get on your cellphone (unless they are invites from friends). All the "Mission" blips are for 2-16 players, and all the ones I've ever gotten on my phone are for 1-2 or 1-4 (except for some, like the one where you steal the Titan, which is 1-6).

No worries. I knew what you meant. Though for a second, I thought you meant literal blimps blocking out the sky of your radar.

 

That actually sounds pretty awesome... especially considering how explosion prone they are. :D

I only use the blimps them to see which of those activities I have done already, they usually have a green check maker. Not sure if there would be another way to see which I have don already and which not.

True. That's about the only reason I see in keeping them.

Online needs a blimp race.

 

OP - yeah I agree. Really should have a filter of some sort.

HAHAHA, blimp races would be total anarchy! If a blimp so much as touches another one, they both explode!

 

I really, REALLY want this now. lol
