Diablo® III

Legendaries DO NOT show on minimap.

General
Legendary items now have a new mini-map icon
This icon should now persist properly and be shown on the mini-map so long as the player is in the same zone as the dropped item
Note: The icon will only display when Legendary items are dropped by a monster, not a player


This does not occur. I just got some ilvl 62 gloves to drop. I immediately checked both the minimap and main map to look for this icon, and nothing showed up. As I write this, the gloves are still on the ground and HAVE NEVER BEEN PICKED UP (to show that the monster did in fact drop it).
I noted the same issue. Set wand dropped. Did not show in the minimap or main map.
BLUE RESPoND PLZ
To me this is actually a big issue. I always have the slightly paranoid feeling that I missed a drop and the addition of this feature was a big deal. Having it end up worse than the current implementation (it at least blips the minimap for a couple seconds in 1.0.6) just makes things harder.
Also happening for me
Up.
Maybe Blizzard updates the PTR as new content is tested and approved?
today the same issue with lengendary items. nothing were show on the mini map.
when i drop it out from my caracter inventory it dosen't show anything on the mini map.

sorry for my bad english
Just tried PTR for the first time, was eager to see this new ping. Had a Manticore and Inquisitor drop (d3 thinks I like DH's) and neither pinged on the mini map.
I was also interested in seeing the new icon and to see how long it stayed and the alleged new radius. I went to act 2 normal for this thinking I would be able to walk away from any legendary just to see how far away I could be and still see the ping. As you have all said, it never showed up.

TLDR: Same happened for me.
That some serious QA right there blizzard...

Tell us more about time consuming implementations of new ideas and testing... you (as a company) cant even do a simple thing like that properly.
Same here with 3 lengendaries.

My friend got 2 and same problem.
is this in the known issues?

No.
Completely agree! plz fix
Just had one drop on the new PTR and the icon clearly shows up! Not sure why it wasn't mentioned in the latest patch notes though.
Yeah, it is fixed.
Same for me, none showed.
