ADD PINGS

[cold peak]

add them pls

[empty echo]

Flares, Binoculars ( and compass on them ), Vc, what else do you need? Ping take away a lot of immersion from the game

[tight garnet]

ally based pings

flares are good to communicate with enemy, vc is good to speak to enemy since youre in discord vc with teamates anyway

but to actually communicate were something is without directly alerting enemy we need a sort of ally ping system

[empty echo]

Just use compass

Telling the direction of something on compass can be emough most of the time

Just no. The ping system ruined Hunt: Showdown for me. They added it before voice chat, which for the longest time they refused to put in.

They said "they wouldn't have walkie talkies in 1890s".

And yet they were happy to add AR ping markers.

I feel so strongly about this. Part of the charm about games like this is learning to communicate, rather than nobody talking and just "ping".

Games should be social activities and ping just kills that. Half my steam friend list is people I met in games on voice.

If there isn't in-game voice chat, that gives people who play with their friends on discord a massive advantage - well other than the lazy option and add pings - and it means you never get to chat to new people.

They could add emotes, like someone suggested about with a pointing action or maybe to shout orders, e.g. "Aim for the reactor!", "We are being boarded" etc - which would make communications possible for people without mics or when they speak different languages.

There is something better than a ping system, it's called "git gud". If you can't deal with enemies and think a ping will help, remember that those enemies will also be getting the ping system and your life will be 10x worse.
