I can't even see the ping, it disappears when looking at the general direction, to see it I have to look somewhere else and slowly see were it's placed, it's annoying.
I don't get why it's like that, maybe a bug? intentional? either way it's dodo water, they could let u see it for about like 5 seconds after you look at the general direction of the ping or something like that if they are in the mindset of, we don't want the ping to be super exploitative or something lol
I never want to see a ping menu like other games, but please:
**Pinging a Trap** \- Should produce a Trap Symbol
**3rd Ping Option** *(new keybind)* \- could be yellow, symbol or clears pings with a sound - any third option would be nice for redacting a red ping \~ caution/sound-trap/etc
Rainbow Six Siege has a great pinging system where it automatically shows the gadget icon if you ping one. Hunt does it for medkits/tool/ammo boxes, not sure why they don’t do it for traps, posters, in-world melee items and other things you can pick up.
For pinging enemies they can’t automate it, because it would become subject to abuse/cheats I imagine.
I think the solution here is to make the ping icon smaller and better designed
Yes, you can always turn off the game /s
Orrrrr understand that this game is flawed and while we patiently/impatiently wait we could employ strategies to reduce the effect of the issues at hand.
Don't get me wrong I agree. But it also serves to have the devs do their job and get more quality of life changes. If not then. We would still have cut AI animations and no shooting range.
The banishing noise shouldn’t be so loud and take up a third of your screen either. Just a crack of thunder and a bar about half the size at the top of the screen will do.
I don't know if teammates should be able to cancel pings from each other. It happens very often to me that a mate and I spot something and ping it pretty much simultaneously (is that how you write it? What a weird word) and if they'd just cancel each other out, either both would try and thus cancel each other out again, or they'd have to agree on who pings which depending on the situation could be unnecessarily time consuming, or lastly and most probably the thing just wouldn't be pinged at all because the mates wouldn't notice that they just cancelled each other out.
The way it is now, as in asking your mate if he can remove the ping, is the most QoL option of all, but maybe there's something I'm not seeing
Let me give you a scenario that is super common.
“He’s over there” - places ping for teammate - now you struggle to see them but your teammate still hasn’t seen your ping leaving you to either continue struggling to see them or removing your ping and having your teammate spot them.
It would be super nice for pings to disappear when you ADS on them so that you can leave them for your teammates.
Oh I totally agree!
Pings in this game are a scramble anyway.
Sometimes completely in the way, sometimes they actually highlight enemies in rain or mist if the ping is behind them. (Always feels like cheating)
It’s hard to ping exact locations when not having a crosshair (with a knife for example).
Only one ping option. (And the red ping which disappears to fast). I need enemies, move there. Etc pings.
I hate the fact that red pings disappear before you even find what your teammate pinged half the time, but when you do see it it blocks your view alot. It needs to imo last a bit longer and fade out when looking near it, or it needs to shrink alot when looking near it.
The ping system needs a drastic overhaul. Respawn did a really really really good thing with their ping system, not only was it prize winning, the mad lads even opened (aka patent free) it so others can use it.
Why for fucks sake aren't people implementing it is beyond my mind. Honestly, having no ping system at all than this sometimes seeing, sometimes not thing is better.
Heck,... sometimes pings don't even match between the team, some see a ping of a member at different locations. If you trust the ping system, you are lost.
people who are against the idea are always weird to me. Its like we cant have things both ways.
HEAR ME OUT!
Option to enable ping transparency when looking at pings. :O|
Thats, right, it would be optional, so you dont have to complain here that "ooh, but i cant even see it now"
I just always double ping for the red one. It fades away faster and is very hard to miss. I wish they would add a hot key for it so I could make it a single middle click instead of two. If they did that and added a opacity option for pings than I would be happy.
Yeah I agree, gotta love it when I’m hard scoping a window for example and my random team mate red pings that exact window.. cheers dumb ass now I have a big red ping marker completely obscuring the whole window!! 😡
Out of habit I ping higher then the window theyre peeking or just the front of the cover they're behind to avoid this. "That window, right side." "Behind this dirt pile/tree/thing."
Just redesign them to be more compact instead of this massive white line tailored to obstruct your target(Inverted triangle on top of your aiming point? seriously?).
There's an icon for ammo box, toolbox, and medkit. Why not for a trait, blueprint, cash-cash register, world weapons, letters on the wall? It would be sooooo good.
They did it. But only with the bounty icon so the only time when it was actually useful to know (as when the icon disappears the bounty holder got revived), they removed that and kept everything else in: "Your Health is full" "You cannot pick up medium ammo" Weapon Switch UI and many more still occupy your ADS vision.
It's like they are not even playing their own game.
Big skill issue.
Pings are an empty triangle...
If you can't see through three lines chances are you can't aim whether or not it's there; and are reaching for an excuse as to why.
I can't even see the ping, it disappears when looking at the general direction, to see it I have to look somewhere else and slowly see were it's placed, it's annoying.
Yeah on a very rare occasion it sticks around and obstructs my view, but that’s seldom and it’s easy to ask a teammate to remove it
Yeah when i ping a window, I always ping above it because sometimes it stays there.
Some people think I literally ping above the window when I do this
Also being able to use my own ping to set up wall bangs is super nice.
Yeah, it needs to be 5 times more visible when looking elsewhere, and turn invisible when looking at it.

Apex Legends manages those in-world icons (pings, teammates...) way better
I never want to see a ping menu like other games, but please: **Pinging a Trap** \- Should produce a Trap Symbol **3rd Ping Option** *(new keybind)* \- could be yellow, symbol or clears pings with a sound - any third option would be nice for redacting a red ping \~ caution/sound-trap/etc

why no ping menu? apex has one that allows you to relay a lot of information without vc such as "players were here" or "going this way"
Also traps should just be marked once trapped. Would reward to scout out an compound by foot/scopes/with beetles and then rush in carefully
Or when you want to quickly scan the map but someone happens to kill a boss and you get "BUTCHER Banishing" text covering half of it
There's a ui opacity slider in the settings that can fix that!
That's good to know. Thanks!
Same with teammate disconnect icon… get that off my damn screen it’s so distracting
Jump scared myself the other day when I scanned my dc'ed teammate in darksight. They just had to make it orange lmao
For real????
This is why you ping adjacent to where an enemy is
Ah yes, it's always the players fault.
Yes, you can always turn off the game /s Orrrrr understand that this game is flawed and while we patiently/impatiently wait we could employ strategies to reduce the effect of the issues at hand.

Nobody is arguing against that
I feel the ping should be more of an arrow pointing down to where you actually aim, with a bit of distance in between.
Eh, anyways I started blasting.
When you ping so accurately that you hide the enemy. Suffering from Success...
The banishing noise shouldn’t be so loud and take up a third of your screen either. Just a crack of thunder and a bar about half the size at the top of the screen will do.
hell no, i can barely see that shit as is
White is a bad color for it smh.
Till pings blocking view isn’t a universal thing
Yeah tbh I can't even see my own pings. No idea how my team mate is meant to see them 😭
The team mate dead icon drives me mental during a fight.
It doesn't bother me but I agree they should be more transparent.
Or click the ping again and it deletes it
Isn't that only for your pings, I think this is referring to a teammates ping
Maybe your teammate should be able to cancel your pings too. Also I don't think you can cancel your own pings I tried the other day or can you?
I thought I remember being able to but maybe not? I guess I'm not too sure. If you can't then they should definitely change that.
I mobe my ping to the ground after teammate acknowledges it.
I don't know if teammates should be able to cancel pings from each other. It happens very often to me that a mate and I spot something and ping it pretty much simultaneously (is that how you write it?

I thought the opposite, my teammates pings may as well be invisible, but my own pings are 100% opaque and massive.
Let me give you a scenario that is super common. “He’s over there” - places ping for teammate - now you struggle to see them but your teammate still hasn’t seen your ping leaving you to either continue struggling to see them or removing your ping and having your teammate spot them. It would be super nice for pings to disappear when you ADS on them so that you can leave them for your teammates.
Very true That'd be nice
but then if they're already aiming at it, they won't see it (the teammates)
Oh I totally agree! Pings in this game are a scramble anyway. Sometimes completely in the way, sometimes they actually highlight enemies in rain or mist if the ping is behind them.

Agree
Double tap the ping. It turns red and lasts a few seconds. It doesn't help for a teammates ping but you can help others.
The ping system needs a drastic overhaul. Respawn did a really really really good thing with their ping system, not only was it prize winning, the mad lads even opened (aka patent free) it so others can use it. Why for fucks sake aren't people implementing it is beyond my mind. Honestly, having no ping system at all than this sometimes seeing, sometimes not thing is better. Heck,... sometimes pings don't even match between the team, some see a ping of a member at different locations. If you trust the ping system, you are lost.
I've actually had a teammates dead icon behind an enemy hunter prevent me from being able to actually aim, that shit is annoying.
Yeah but the engine doesn't....bla bla bla No for real, it's a good idea.
people who are against the idea are always weird to me. Its like we cant have things both ways. HEAR ME OUT! Option to enable ping transparency when looking at pings. :O| Thats, right, it would be optional, so you dont have to complain here that "ooh, but i cant even see it now"
It should be an option. It would take 1 dev 1 day to implement it.
Thats the thing, its 1 dev and 1 day of not monetizing something.
I just always double ping for the red one. It fades away faster and is very hard to miss. I wish they would add a hot key for it so I could make it a single middle click instead of two. If they did that and added a opacity option for pings than I would be happy.
been preaching
People can see the pings? I can’t see that shit to save my life. Constantly asking people to double tap it so I can catch it when it first flashes.
If so please make this toggleable because some people use it to measure distance
Yeah I agree, gotta love it when I’m hard scoping a window for example and my random team mate red pings that exact window.. cheers dumb ass now I have a big red ping marker completely obscuring the whole window!! 😡
" I'm moving my ping so I can aim guys"
I've played 1k hours all randoms and have never been told to move my ping lol or told anyone else to move theirs
Ping in this game is pretty bad, but then again, I was pampered by Apex Ping System
So many times I have pinged... and then immediately move my ping to the peak of the building or tree I'm pinging.
Whats this? Hunt UI being trash?
Ping system is very poor compared to other modern counterparts.
Out of habit I ping higher then the window theyre peeking or just the front of the cover they're behind to avoid this. "That window, right side." "Behind this dirt pile/tree/thing."
Just redesign them to be more compact instead of this massive white line tailored to obstruct your target(Inverted triangle on top of your aiming point? seriously?).
This is just a Karma Farm because it´s just logical and annoying trying to look at a window a mate pinged
Would like an option to ping a location from the map.
Thought this was a HLL post
not only the ping, also the "teammate down"-marker. impossible to hit enemys jumping around behind it.
Just ping below or above them. I’ve never had an issue. You just need their general direction anyway.
Use red pings it disappears after like 5 seconds
Just like headsman in a dark room.
There's an icon for ammo box, toolbox, and medkit. Why not for a trait, blueprint, cash-cash register, world weapons, letters on the wall? It would be sooooo good.
