Heart Quests Map Indications

[SEPH.2795]

I don't think I'm the only one who occasionally struggles to find the focus area for some of the Tyria heart quests. For E.g., the Help Paenula train troops quest in Plains of Ashford has the player use a rifle to capture minotaurs and drakes. The drakes, after some searching, were found a few meters South West of the NPC, but the minotaurs were nowhere to be found. We're then asked to spar with them in the fighting pit. I had zero clue where this was or whom to speak with. This is just one example of such instances. Could ArenaNet put Heart Quest markings on the mini map? I know it's possible because some open world events do just that for their POI areas.

You may find the Wiki quite helpful.

The example given is a bit weird. Minotaurs are also close by (a bit to the east, rather than to the west), and the fighting pit is the very place the heart NPC is standing under.

Yeah, the fighting pit for that Heart was mostly disabled back in 2014. Random waves of mobs will occasionally spawn in it, and killing them does give a little bit of progress on the heart; but it can't be started by players. They never bothered to change the Heart description text to match the changes, either.

Example aside. Anyone doing full map completion will eventually run into a few of these tricky quests. Perhaps an option that when a player hovers over the Heart's quest icon in the mini map, it highlights/circles the area where the mobs can be found. This would also be less intrusive than event circles.

A similar feature is already available when hovering over Hero Points and POI's.
