Pretty heartbreaking that he mentioned LoL and DOTA but not HotS. Rest in peace, HotS.
This will make DBM/WA even more robust as addons will likely be able to utilize pings.
bro this is gonna be so fun xDDDDDD
Perfect, my solo shuffle runs were already a bit spicy, apparently not spicy enough
This is a great idea with many applications. All of you are doomers.
no we dont , world markers last forever, pings is a quick and short way of comminicating something, just putting a random ass blue market doesn't mean *!@#, but a red ! means danger, warning, look out, etc so they are not the same thing, you are also limited to only one blue marker, and placing it elsewhere removes the first one
Yes, I think it can be useful, and the pug toxicity is grossly exagerated, at least unless you're going for high levels like KSH, but if you're just going for KSM in pugs, option 1: the run goes well, no one says a word, option 2: the run goes badly, but you can still time it, no one says a word, option 3: the run goes badly, you can't time it any more, someone leaves, often they don't say a word.I've rarely seen toxic comments in pugs required for KSM, it's a rare chance when stuff goes wrong.
I can’t wait to use this feature to be toxic
If you get spam pinged - you're bad.Good addition
Oh great. Another flashy thing in the game. As if i didn't have to play on low settings to prevent sensory overload already.
One ping only.
Pings are good but please be mindful of which pings you introduce. "on my way", "target/focus this", "cc this" are fine, but things like question marks, "heal me", can be used negatively and make the community more toxic. Im sure the devs play other games like league and perhaps u can take some lessons from those games. In league the question mark spam, ally target spam, and the bait/hook are all used by tilted toxic players.
I really hope they add a turn off option, no need to spam what is obvious if you are playing with people that knows what to do.Even so I'm not interested in people spamming instead of doing their role in a pug run.
you die i ping simple as
so markers are not enough, typeing is not enough? why not just have new symbols, question mark, kick mark you know class symbols and allow people to do put 2 marks? would that not do the same thing? Mark a player, mark a enemy with that player colour and the symbol for kick meaning you kick this guy big hurty hurt spell? i think that's easy enough to understand unless the person you're playing with is too intoxicated to see much of anything.
And even when u block it, people will go nuts in chat as to why the heck you didnt follow their pings..This is the end.
