Paik's "wall hack" - a suggestion for a fix
Like many, I think this ability will be OP. I am against any sort of "wall hack" feature in principal but I realize it's probably here to stay at this point. I think it also has some warranted utilit...

@AOD_Rancidx I for sure can see it getting changed in a more timely manner, but most likely not until after launch. I could maybe see a pulse/ ping one showing locations at said time of pulse/ ping maybe cut down the radius, maybe cap at 2 enemies or something, but still cooldown would have to be adjusted....no idea, I felt like that dude from India his ability was mostly similiar so why have 2 closely alike
I feel like *we* as a group put a little too much faith in Portal at this point haha
Another alternative in non-HZ, make it a single ping with the created outline static, a slightly wider cover zone with a max amount of targets (random number, let's say 5 for argument's sake) and ability outlines don't show up on the minimap.
Of course, normal map ping methods should still work, so if they're revealed on the minimap as well, then you have an effective confirmation someone's parked and waiting for you.
That way, it'll punish straight up camping but not be too broken against people moving and not in effect be a short term "legal" wall hack.
I still think the mechanism is a joke outside of R6-style games, but since i doubt they're removing it, might as well make a suggestion that'll make it a little less jarring.
The above suggestion is also to make it a little more sensible as a recon ability, the way it's implemented now it should be an assault ability.
(then again we don't have classes now so i guess the recon label is rather vague in itself)
Yeah you're right. Paik definitely fits the assault class label better than recon as both her traits are more beneficial in close quarters. But as you said, classes are basically gone unfortunately.
@MegatronNerdI don't really expect a change of anything before launch as Dice has probably already submitted the final code to Microsoft and Sony which typically needs to be done a few weeks in advance from what I understand. But as long as any issues and player feedback gets addressed in the coming weeks and months I'm fine. As long as the game moves in the right direction post launch I will be ok.
who thought wallhack is a good idea? Giving location of enemies for pressing a button. is there anything i have to do before i get to use it or is it always pressing a button?
