Quality of Life : Add a strongbox icon to minimap

Would be possible to add a simple chest icon to the minimap when we have an unopened strongbox on the map.

Just a minor quality of life improvement.

I think that might add too much information to screen. The loot icons are fine and you dont want players to just seek for icons while playing the game.

If anything, I think that players are too dependant on the minimap now.
You can be more efficient just looking at the minimap more than looking at the actual game, environment, etc .... how sad is that ?

If anything, I wish the map didn't have player's cursors so that players do need to pay at least a little bit of attention to their surrounding while playing.
But I don't expect GGG to do that ever, the "harm" is done, hell even I probably would not like it much at first since I'm so used to this minimap that is imho literally too handy .. but I do think that the game would be better overal.

Why would add to much info?, the icon would be gone as soon as the strongbox is gone.

Several times i forgot i had blank strongboxes because i like to clear the map fill my inventory port back then come back with either an alq or transmutes alt and a regal if the box was worth rolling.

Its a quality of life, and i doubt it would break the immersion for people since the map has only map icons that disappear once triggered, like breaches or abbys.

And it only needs to be a flat chest icon, no need to add an icon for all kinds of strongboxes.

The more info the minimap gives, the less players need to pay attention to the graphics, surroundings, atmosphere, etc ....

Which is why I think they pushed it too far.
I miss the time when people needed to find their way themselves through games ( there are still some games like that of course ), pay attention to the environment, etc ...

but it's more of a personal rant at this point, since breaches and Sulphite do have their icons, I don't quite see why GGG could not add boxes as well.
