Do you ever see a ping from teammate?

I used to play with a full party of friends and sometimes could not see the pins from nearby squad members. When I was playing today, I could see the pin from the downed squad member when he was downed, but not at other times. He frequently pinged the enemy that took him down, so he probably pinged me when I was still alive. Are the pins working correctly?

    It's quite inconsistent and has been the entire time, unfortunately. The group I play with regularly has at least one member of the squad unable to see the other people's pings/markings.

    I am starting to think it is a proximity thing or a line of sight thing. Either you need to be really close to your teammate or both have to be able to see the enemy. Otherwise, if that is not the case, it is broken. I spam the heck out of the spot when I am down and even ask if my squadmates see it. Half the time they don't.

  • It's been bugged in my experience but your squadmate could also be pinging on the other end of the map 

  • @Gurz1019_MP I often play with friends in a squad and it often happens one friend sees my pings while the other hears the sounds of me pinging but he doesn’t see it.
  • @Gurz1019_MP As other said, it’s been an up and down thing, but the last week spotting has been inconsistent, as well as pointing again. We seem to be in a down period again. Wouldn’t hurt to file a bug report, they tend to look at those more than general forums.

    It feels inconsistent to me as well. I could swear that pings kept appearing after the enemy my aquadmate was trying to mark had killed me too in a recent match.
