Legendary members and owners of “The Last Laugh” will now be able to play the Ace Chemicals Legends map as an Arena.

Map UI Update
The in game Map has been given a complete visual overhaul! Players can now enjoy a more dynamic map system allowing them to see and track with much greater detail! Beyond improved navigation, players are now color coded and waypoints can be placed on group members to make them easier to find!  Place them by right clicking with the mouse.
Group members are now color coded to differentiate them on the Minimap. Each group member will have a different randomly assigned color, except for the group leader who is always yellow. Group members can “ping” the map by shift+ left clicking a spot on the map which will create a temporary waypoint for group members, seen both on the mini map and in the main Map UI.
