Re: Muting Pings

@DaWiz2015 I rather the ping system just be one where when it detects spamming, it forces a cooldown so the player who's spamming can stop. Or the system lets them spam on their side but only play it once to the teammates. Not being able to see the deathboxes or legend highlights is indeed a problem though.

As for the legend voice lines, I think there's a volume slider for "dialogue", but I think that's also for things like "heavy ammo here".

    @Midnight9746 I'm down for whatever. Anything is better than the current situation. They need to figure it out. People have been complaining about this for years. Whatever works though.

    I'll look into the volume slider. I guess I missed it in the settings.

    would be no issue at all if they would let "players with similar skill" compete with/against each other.
    same applies to the "he is one shot" callouts, a lesser skilled players shouts that all the time, even they only scratched the opponents shield.
    Guess they watched to many HAL/Timmy Videos instead of grinding, otherwise they would know what one shot really means !

    Most definitely. But muting your teammates ping mid fight is something I don't want to do. And once you mute them you can't see their highlight to revive them as quickly as possible. I've had scenarios where my teammate is knocked and my enemy is knocked, it gets a little confusing. But whatever....

    My point is that right now we only have two options: unmute pings or mute pings (sound and visual). All I'm asking for is an option to NOT remove the "visual" ping (i.e., loot pings, enemy pings, banner highlights, knocked teammate highlights, etc.).

    There should be an option in the middle. I disagree, somewhat, with a ping delay. That's more technical, but I won't rule it out (When does the delay start and end? For how long? etc.) But anyways, since as "adults" we're acting like we don't understand what the "definition of mute" is, here we go....

    Mute - characterized by an 'absence of sound'; quiet.

    Muting pings should not include the 'visual'. That's called a "removal":

    Removal - the action of taking away.

    Let's not debate with the dictionary. Can't win that one. Getting through to people is just as hard as dealing with randoms. 

    Hey, but y'all win. I'll just keep the pings unmuted and play "Ping Legends". Frick it!!!
