Radiobiology.6185 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) We need a new ping in the form of a question mark. Edit: Specifically for modes where you matchmake with random people, so spvp basically. Edited July 12, 2023 by Radiobiology.6185 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Not sure about that. People rarely even try to use the existing different pings. Just the basic one - without further fine tuning for attack/defend. Though I like the shield (defend) one when almost winning (to say to defend one point for safely ticking the remaining pts) and the exclamation mark when a buff is ready (temple map mainly). Would prefer a quick voice command setting though - better even for people that like more to listen and watch the main screen (not always paying attention to the mini map). Like ... similar to some shooter games (I think some have these): Press one button (can be changed in the settings) to access the voice command menu. Then some groups: attack defend (maybe others) - with a key/number associated (while in the menu the key would work for that instead of the other stuff you have set for it - like the skills maybe if you keep it default). Leading you to a sub menu with further options. Key commands could be learned quickly. And then send a voice message to others. (Of course it should have spam protection.) Attack -> Close / Far / Mid Defend -> Close / Far / Mid Misc -> (Here some stuff for paying attention to map mechanics ... "ignore buff", "(to others) get buff", "i will get buff (to say you are getting it an don't need/want help"- 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) In all seriousness, a question mark ping would probably be very useful for teaching players that what they are doing isn't what they should be doing. Example: instead of stopping to type/grief someone when they are at the treb, you can just ping question marks on them, and they'll get the hint eventually.

Finally a pvp patch: we added a questionmark pin. Edited July 12, 2023 by demonbeetle.2387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie.9143 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Yeah just give us the ability to turn off map pings so it's not toxic like LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven.7201 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I think it will add more toxicity to the game. And people will choose to turn off ping. Or else you can trust the pvp community to not be toxic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shao.7236 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 This is more meme content than it is useful. What we really need is some sort of tell that a teammate is drawing on the map since nobody seems to pay attention whenever they used neutral ping. We'll never reach peak teamwork potential without VOIP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArthurDent.9538 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 People already get confused with the pings we have. Imagine all the random ways people will react to a ping as ambiguous as a question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could keep calling target on someone's head while also repeatedly pinging question mark on them in the mini-map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite thing in the world is when two people who hate each other and have each other blocked just spam Ctrl+T on each other. Straight up making red waves on the minimap.
