Hello! I've been playing Apex since just after launch and I've just noticed a few things that I would like to see implemented into the game, mostly things to make aspects of the game more user-friendly. 1.) A button/ key-binding for ping the current status of my Ultimate. It's all well and fine if you have a mic and party options available to communicate how far along your Ult is in loading. But I've come across a lot of situations in which I have to go into chat and type out what my status currently is. Adding this feature would be TREMENDOUSLY helpful, imho. 2.) A feature to be able to add friends directly from the menu in-game. I've played with a number of people that I wish I could have remembered the ID of and couldn't. It would be awesome to not have to remember their ID and go to the origin app to add them there. Just some food for thought. And lastly, this is sort of a subtopic of the last recommendation I had pertaining to adding friends. If there would be any way to add a recent players tab, to see who you've recently played in a squad with, I think that would also be pretty neat. Anyway, thanks for reading my suggestions! I hope to at least see my Ultimate recommendation some time in the future if nothing else. I'll keep looking for things the game could possibly improve on and do my best at posting more feedback!

I think that we need a ping for the ultimate, so we can know how many percentage left for "x" ultimate from squadmateWould help to know if we have to attack or wait for the squad ultimate

I would love there was a ping button on the menu where you can shout out your ultimate percentage. For the tactical as well. Or have a voiceline that’s activated when you click it and it’s on cooldown. I don’t know how many times someone has yelled at me for not healing them when my D.O.C was on cool down. I also would like to see what my teammates have without overcrowding the screen. I need to see their ult percentage, the guns they have, and the type of ammo they have. This would make the game a lot easier because you know what they need and how to help them in surviving.

I agree, this would be useful. Something as simple as being able to ping the ultimate on the inventory screen, like you can with ammo requests. I play a lot of Lifeline, and it would be super useful to be able to quickly let my squad know I have my care package ready.

How did you guys "play for a month without comms" and not realize you needed a way to tell if ults were up lol. Sorry for being a * about it but it's kind of funny.

Be able to ping squad members status of your Ultimate ability

Telling ult status isn't necessary in this game unlike overwatch.

I think he's talking about notifying your squad members on how close your ultimate is ready through the ping system. I can see a situation where you'll want Bangalore and Gibraltar to use their ultimates at the same time to cover more ground.

or, rather than simultaneously....in succession, so you have double the time to push/flank/flee.

Or if you're sitting at 95% ult with Lifeline, your teammates stick close to you, for that sweet, sweet candy.

Lots of tactical reasons to be able to tell your squad where your Ult is at. Being able to do sans-mic should be an option.

I like your idea about being able to look at former squads. But privacy may be an issue...something to add might have to be that the player has the option of toggling it on/off, or to send an immediate message suggesting partying/friending. Permission is everything when it comes to cyber bullying or whatever, so they'd have to consider toggling since everyone has different preferences. Just a solution to a problem that may arise from this suggestion but I completely agree with your ideas

I noticed today that I can't ping my ult to let my team know that I want a ult charger thingy or to wait to engage for 2 more percent etc...

Please implement!
