I was trying to look for the blacksmith and the armorer of Novigrad (I remember have talked with the two of them) but the city is huge and somehow, even if the filter is fine, the right icons aren't shown.

These guys' icons only appear once I'm too close to their store and that's not good :\. I'm forced to go to Crow's Perch or Oxenfurt everytime I want to forge/repair/sell something because I don't remember where the ones from Novigrad are. Otherwise I would wander on the city until I find them and that's not fun.

Did this only happened to me or everyone is fine with it because have better memory than myself XD?

I'm intrested in this topic too)
bug or feature?

Pretty sure it's a bug because earlier versions did not have this issue

I never see the blacksmith symbol in Oxenford until I get close to his anvil. It is a minor inconvenience, once I got to Skellige, I use the blacksmith and armorer at Kaer Trolde (very convenient, they share the same room in the castle.

I have the same problem all the time. I'm using maps from Eurogamer.pl because all the vendors are visible on them. Without them it would be tidious (still, I wouldn't cry if this glitch would be fixed soon).

Thanks. Also I saw another user posted this interactive map. It is very useful :).
