how about marking the flags so we know which areas are done for the bonus puzzles

This is a suggestion we've had a few times before and we'd definitely like to integrate, Missy. It's on the list for a future update.

Any kind of addition of this to the Map would kind of imply to people that the Secret Bonus Areas are necessary, but they are not. Nobody has to do any of them at all, and many people are unaware of them in the first place or come across one or two obvious ones or see an Achievement related to them.

I.E. I can see no way to include a percentage or such that would keep the implication of non-necessity. And checkmarks wouldn't work because there are 20 secret areas but there are 32 'squares' on the map, there are more then 20 squares on the map with a percentage, and some secret areas are in map squares that are N/A. Very confusing.

Nicola, that is so unnecessary! Raymond has every right to express his opinion--if he doesn't think the flag change is needed, fine. I am among the first to lose patience with him, but he is not being rude or condescending and the devs want to hear from both sides before taking precious time to make changes. So if you don't have anything helpful to contribute, don't post rude comments.

And BTW, Noemi, I would love to see some kind of system to show which bonus areas I've finished--would be very helpful!!

Raymond: Yes, I think we would have to integrate it in such a way that it was clear the area wasn't necessary (i.e. a special flag shows up on the area map but only after the secret area is already complete). That would be part of the considerations we'd take into account when/if we integrate it.

I like the idea of a flag, or even just a dot something to show only once you've FINISHED the secret area, nothing showing where it is or if you've missed any, that kind of takes the fun out of finding them and yes Raymond I think it would confuse people if they showed where these places are to those who had no idea they were there in the first place.

an easy solution would be to only display something if u got it.... and from what ive noticed there are only 20 secret areas in all... the only problem i had was that if i had to leave i would forgot how to return to some of the areas....
