Option Select Map !PING PING PING!

Option to click on Mini-Map: Respawn beacons, Replicators, & Tridents 

There are situations where My Teammate & I have been eliminated. So, the 3rd has a chance to Res us. He survived the banner recovery, the 1st ring just ended, & all is needed is a quick Respawn. After healing the 3rd begins to move swiftly towards the middle of the ring. My teammate gets on the mic furious "there is a beacon literally 10 feet in the storm, you just ran past it!!" My mic is missing atm, frantically I agree by pinging but it's in the middle of 7-Party Central where he decided to go.  

Opposite situation: I survived an amazing banner recovery, made it through the storm, & decide to Res my teammates 10 feet in the storm as the 1st circle is closing. They yell "idiot" & "Why Broooooo!!??" while pinging the 4th party option. Then we win!        *Just limit "Selective Ping Option" to 3 pings maybe* so that won't be annoying 

  • I completely understand what you mean as I've been in this situation myself more than once for sure. Even though I usually play with a premade squad, having to explain to them where the best beacon is might take way longer than if we could simply put a ping for them on the map. I will pass your feedback forward to the team! 

    Thanks,

    @EA_cuervo Awesome! & Thank You! I love this game. I have so much more to offer! Posted: 3weeks Ago

    I have had this idea for so long i think COD has developed a similar mechanic.

    To improve the pub experience, How about Hologram-Sync? Thrown down your Special Hologram to link up with other Players. I have teammates that get disconnected or rage quit. Put out this Specialized Hologram-Sync to connect to other players whether it's a solo or duo. If it's a full squad, they will not be able to see it. A few adjustments to the idea but what do you think?

    A Reply:
    Do you mean to fill empty spots on your team when people rage quit after getting shot? I'm kinda confused at what the idea you're talking about is, but I like the idea of making the hologram useful somehow. If that's what you're suggesting it sounds good, but maybe they should limit it to once per match so cheaters don't abuse it. Also might be handy for those matches that don't get enough people so you get stuck with 1 person less than everyone else, or am I misunderstanding your idea?

    My Reply:
    Yes, that's correct, you got the basics. I can feel your excitement! You and your buddy queue up with a random in a lobby, He rage quits because you took that handy Charge Rifle & Now you have the option to throw down your Holo-Sync to connect with a solo player who had the same experience. Yeah, once per round is a good idea, just a few adjustments RESPAWN & we have a winner! :-) & Yes, they're going to abuse it but hey I'm trying to save a dynasty. lol

    That's really creative! I never thought of that or heard that from anyone else before. I can see how it would be useful and perhaps improve the pubs. I will pass the feedback along as well. 

    Whenever you have new feedback, feel free to create a new independent post if it's a completely different idea/feedback.

    Thanks,
