Expanded wheels ?

I came across the other night that I needed a Ultimate Accelerant after killing two squads and a third was upon us. After we wiped all three squads. There was only four teams left  and I needed a Ultimate accelerant I was at 30% [ring 3] near bunker. I know there was one in the area we were in just forgot where. It would be nice to let people know that you need an Ultimate accelerant Since this is the only thing missing from the inventory wheel.

Also

Can we get a Expanded wheel for ping's.

There is too many times that there be two team battling and your trying to let your team know that there is two teams fighting but you only have one enemy ping and the other ping is. The enemies have been there @ said Location. Can we get another color like a yellow, green or Blue letting your team know through pings that there is another team ping and a third color ping to let your team know there is a third team waiting [if you can see them].

Everytime I use the enemies were here ping my teammates think there is only one team fighting and I'm just pinging that one group. When there is actually one team fighting and one waiting in the distance to attack. While giving up the flank location to the team that is waiting, then they wipe not only our team but the team that was battling.

    @RevenanT-G7 Just a solid: agree with the points made. Unfortunately these things were already said after 1 month of apex and here we are.

    I guess the added wheel needs to be creative & intuitive as to not clutter the screen but my golly do we need more pings like ‘stay here’, ‘don’t follow me’, ‘stop shooting’, ‘if you shoot I’ll straight up disconnect. You think I give a hootenanny about RP?! I make more in 1 hour than you make in a day! Try me and see if you’re arse will even get into top 5!’ <— xD

    @RevenanT-G7 Here's a list of pings I want

    - Ult accelerant
    - Good teamates
    - A good weapon
    - Gold helmet as Octane
    - Gold backpack as Octane

    @Koochi-Q 

    Yeah this was talked about during season one I didn't want to necro a thread from 13 months ago since it's against the TOS.

    I just hope they take it into consideration though. They can even make the expanded wheel something like Fallout 76's.

    I don't communicate through a mic any longer too much  background noise, toxic teammates, little kids playing, and people talking about useless babble non game related. That I don't want to hear nor put up with.

    It's just hard to communicate when there is multiple teams and your teammates start to rush in giving away your posistion to a team that is recon the area. just as you were and tried to tell your team about a 3rd squadbut the info wasn't clear enough because of limited pings.

    Hopefully Respawn can take the info and see if they can implement it in game to give non miced up players more options of pings and inventory needed to help their teammates and trying to keep the team alive.

    Can we have a "Get the hell off my gold helmet you stim junkie loot goblin" ping please.

    @RevenanT-G7  That wheel is literally the only thing they did right on fallout 76.

    Also yes to all of the above.

    @RevenanT-G7 I fully agree, but for extended wheel for voice lines it’s either gonna have to be rather screen-filling if they do it like they did now, reduce the font size (which wont go down well for impaired seeers...😅) or my idea is that the expended ones expend into a new wheel... so lets say you want to say ‘I’m flanking here, don’t follow’. For that you have to be on the ‘I’m attacking here’ option. Then either press a button (most likely the best option) or hover (bad... option for obvious reasons) and then it doesn’t expand, but rather become a new wheel with ‘attacking’ options like ‘I’m attacking here, cover me’, ‘I’m attacking here, dont follow’, I’m flanking here’ and so on.

    For ‘looking here’ same. Cause now some ppl in last 3 dont think logically when I’m saying I’m checking there. They do so too. Sometimes I even do 3 distinct directions meaning to say ‘someone check there and there, while I check here’... nope. They keep following. So a good one for ‘looking here’ would be ‘I’m looking here, you look somewhere else’ or ‘someone watch here, I’m looking there’. Even for carepackages there should be one. Now when you want to say that you’re looking at a carepackage it just says looking here. They see carepackage outline and run towards it...

    What do you think?

    Yeah, I had to stop playing because the game was still crashing every 30 mins - 1 hr. I would go in a 3 or 4 hr play session crashing at least 3 - 6 times a night every night.

    plus:

    the loading issues - going into buildings where their was super mutants, feral ghouls etc, taking damage while the area was loading in.

    Finished quest still showing up -aka wendigo quest, killed him at least 5 -7 times and still the quest kept coming up very annoying.

    met some great people  early during the beta, played until release and played until Apex legends came out. just couldn't take it anymore had put in 400 hrs by that point.

    Great game fun when everyting worked and wasn't laggy or having issues. Bethesda GameSoft still doesn't think they need a new game engine. when the creation engine been around since skyrim back in 2011. You can tell the engine is having issues keeping up.

    I hope they reconsider using a new game engine or a Creation engine v2 when releasing Star field and TES 6. and not using the same engine. that is well around a decade old.

    @RevenanT-G7  Idk, i just felt like it was an empty shell of a game. Then there was all the issues you mentioned, bethesda should have been ashamed of themselves with that one to be honest.

    @Koochi-Q 

    I dont know if you played fallout 76 but you could drag down the emotes to swap them out with that main one if you wanted too or keep them as extras. 

    Respawn can do something similar to the effect that we can swap out those enemy pings with the other callouts ie Looting here, attacking here, enemies are here this location etc. we all don't use everything on the ping wheel.

    As for voice line I could care less if they rehash the ones they already have. They do have the Turquoise color, red, yellow and green they can just reuse those too.

    The image  should be a little smaller like fallout76  not so small the people with vision issues can see them, around the same size. I don't think we will need a new wheel. just a small popup of a secondary wheel behind the main wheel. Don't want to make it to complicated and button pushing like far cry something in and out like we have now. 

    The expanded wheel will be the secandary wheel, so everything is on the fly. are you adding more pings **wink **wink. Yeah if respawn thinks they could add more ping's with out adding new voice overs I'm all for it.

    why not.

    @RevenanT-G7 I have not played Fallout 76... or any for that matter, while I do own all of them, except the mobile ones.

    Other games have such ‘fading away to make way for a new one’ wheels as well. I usually prefer those because it’s the same visual blockage but only with new commands. So the only thing to learn is where the new command sits. Or maybe an option for either the fading away kind or the expanding kind where you see all the options in one go.

    We’re talking Respawn here. If something as ‘standard’ as customizable sights isn’t implemented, how likely are moddable commands xD.

    Spitballing session coming along here ppl! :P
