[Idea] - "Thank You" ping!

[thick mango]

Did a Tyr save your soul by healing you? Or a flanker assist you tagteam that pesky tank?

Why not give them a quick "Thanks!" and be about your day!

I'd like to see a quick thank you be added to the ping wheel

[icy ore]

Great idea!

[lone oar]

I've seen people use the "Assist them!" ping but having a proper one would be great

[trim crown]

that would be great and there is room for it as I almost never see the look there ping

[sacred mural]

Yea

[green spear]

Would be nice... I usually say "hi" to people i play against often... or with... and even thank then by shooting them.

[fleet sleet]

I suggested this ages ago to Jen. I really really hope we get this, I really want a thank you ping. Cause it can be used to thank healers or someone who comes and saves you.

A little “👍” too would be cool!

[hoary ice]

Yeah, we should have ping for short message such as "Thank you","Good job","Sorry","Idiot"

[neat wraith]

I thought most people just give a little wiggle or nod. Looking up and down moves to guns making it look like you are saying yes 😂

[icy ore]

I do that every time someone heals me

[fleet sleet]

Sorry would be nice

[trim crown]

I have to say it would be nice to have a thank you and IMO it could replace the look up which nobody use, I do try to give hearts out even though the message is all wrong ^^

[lone oar]

I've noticed that (at least on low graphics) you can't actually see other people aiming up/down

[sacred mural]

If you increase your view distance it improves

And how is your name golden like that

[lone oar]

Because I'm Golden Fireball

[sacred mural]

Huh

[lone oar]

You can get it from #community-summer-event message

[fleet sleet]

I hope we get this as a feature

I needed to complete a daily task with a tactician / flanker torso. I run mostly tactician parts in my hangar. Today i was one kill away from completing the task, very low on health in my shredder ares and waiting behind cover for my core gear to cool down, when lo behold, a human player sniped me with their tyr healing drone. i was very taken aback as very few ppl use the tyr in the Asia server these days. I wish i could say thanks to that player.

[icy ore]

It’d be interesting to hear how the different pilots would voice the ‘Thank You’ ping.

[calm aurora]

This is so snow flake heavy. You girls go!

[tribal cairn]

God i cant stand when i play with randoms and i never see a ping... Typically ends in a loss or someone crashing out asking why theres no help....
"PING" ur targets!!!!!!! I dont know who or what tf u shooting at if i cant see the target!!! 😭

[icy ore]

My mic is broken and in my last match, my allies healed my war robot at least 4 times and all i could do was wave my weapons appreciatively so a thank u ping would have helped me a lot!

[icy ore]

I hope we can get this as a feature in the future 🤞

[sour pivot]

Great idea yes maybe not only that ping maybe more pings and that we can put themselves in one geargwheel wich ones we like to us and we can remove the ones we dont use at all and maybe we can even wright down text thats good short text like 6 or 8 small text things we can put inside another number 2 gearwheel we can rework yourselves to improve teamplay

The Ping Wheel has been updated and now includes the "Thank you!" ping along with several others.

[fleet sleet]

oh awesome!!

[thick mango]

We won Y'ALL

Let's gooo 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[limpid burrow]

With my time on crossout, those types of pings are very important for people that don't use a mic. We need more on the smart ping part of the game

Like a "assault there!" "Defend here!(or there)" "Follow me" etc

[thick mango]

We got "group up" added at least

[ornate thunder]

"Get back here I need to heal you"

[limpid burrow]

Now I'm imagining my grandma yelling at someone to get their shinny metal butt over here

[vapid plover]

Someone used a thumbs up reaction in game when I'd healed them three times, but something else, not a bad idea.

[sick kettle]

"Careful of this location" (yellow ping)
and
"Move here" (blue ping)

got removed

please add them back.

[lone oar]

I remember the caution one but not the blue move here

[sick kettle]

was very nice, i used it alot

[limpid burrow]

Please do

I was confused where some of the pings went

[grizzled hawk]

there are 2 ping wheels that I am aware of

the new general one with all the new ones like thank you, yes, no, etc.

and a different ping wheel that looks like the old ping wheel when youre pointing at a objectives like beacons. I think the caution and move here might be in that ping

[sick kettle]

Cant ping caution or move here to non poi tho darn

[honest nimbus]

Nor can you use the watch out pin.

I personally prefered the other wheel, they could of just implemented “thank you” into it rather than reworking a majority of it.

[icy ore]

These are slightly old screenshots i had taken of the 2 options of the ping wheel after it had got changed. both are from the same match. next time i log on, i'll try to retake the screenshots.

[honest nimbus]

I dont come across the second image at all.

[icy ore]

I'll check again when i play the next time and update u

[lone oar]

How do you get a different menu?

[icy ore]

i had not seen these comments when i was playing earlier today but i believe the 2nd menu appears when we point at an objective. idk at this point and i'll try to replicate it when i play tomorrow.

[lone oar]

So you won't be able to access it in TDM?

[icy ore]

i'll try tomorrow and share which modes i'm able to trigger it on

[sick kettle]

Yeah ive never seen the right wheel post-changed too.

On the right wheel, the left 2 are the important pings

The down arrow is (blue) move there

The eye is (yellow) careful of there

[grizzled hawk]

you have to look at the objective when pinging like beacon

[grizzled hawk]

I just realized that the new ping wheel also changes the top right "Defend" ping to "Moving here" when highlighting an enemy

[sick kettle]

thats neat, but have to hover an enemy

cant choose a specific location

[grizzled hawk]

I guess not a specific location, only when highlighting enemy and objectives at the moment it seems.
but hopefully in the future, we can customize our ping wheels,
something that I would like to see implemented that devs can also capitalize on is introducing custom pings with new audio lines (like emotes), and can be adjusted via my Cosmetics Modules menu idea

[icy ore]

so like Fishstickers revealed above, both options still seem to be available but the options change depending on what point we are trying to highlight. I hope her Cosmetics Module idea can be implemented as I would surely like to keep specific call outs on my ping wheel.

[lone oar]

The enemy one makes little sense because by the time it opens they've already moved

[gusty onyx]

Maybe this is where “addition by subtraction” applies? Maybe less options? target ping is super helpful. The bot commands tend not work at all or, do so minimally.

[icy ore]

not sure why but i managed to get the option again

[grizzled hawk]

youre pointing at the beacon, which is an objective

[sick kettle]

Right so you cannot ping "go there" nor "careful of here" without pinging a bot directly, wherein it makes it functionally identical to pinging an enemy directly, but objectively worse :p

[sick kettle]

yeah you can do it on objectives too

[icy ore]

Okayy I’m just happy to see that the options are still in the game

I use ping quite a lot since my mic is broken
