A very simple fix to "Marking/Pinging" that should make EVERYONE happy!

Discussion

For TPP, keep it the way it is. Seriously, its TPP..

When it comes to FPP, no one should see the marked spot unless they have a line of sight of it. Should apply to the player that marks the spot too and not only the teammates. As soon as you got an object, such as a wall, tree, rocks and so on, between you and the marked spot, the marker is hidden until you got line of sight again.

So, if I placed a marker somewhere, my teammate wouldn't instantly know where the marker is placed if there are trees, rocks etc, in the way between the marked spot and him.

I believe this should keep everyone happy. It slightly nerfs it down, but not much to make those that love it mad, and enough to make those that hate it possibly accept it. Or am I wrong?

For me it's ok but there are lots of haters that even didn't tried it that doesn't even want to give it any opportunity

People aren't stupid. They understand how it works and that they will have a much easier time doing it. The problem is that they don't want the things that the featuew brings.

People aren't stupid but they have no experience with it in-game, what's the problem with giving it a try? If it's abusive we will see it with tons of videos, then they can rework it or remove it

Because they will like it and it will become the new norm, making the game easier. If you want an easier game, play fortnite. In world-markers is dumb.

Also is dumb markers in a shared map, compass in your view, red bulls healing, reviving after headshot, that stupid plane trajectory drawn, automatic parachute opening, minimap in view, ammo counters, why don't remove everything? I will gladly play that way than current game as it is

BTW: I hate Fortnite

Do you mean its "ok" in its current state, or that what I suggested was "ok"?

Your suggestion, as it is currently it seems that creates lots of hate so I don't mind if it's nerfed and your suggestion seems fine, even another nerfs could be ok like making marker dissapperar in 3 seconds from sight or associate marking action to an emote that makes impossible to shoot at the same time

I still believe there just shouldnt be an in-world mark. After playing with it there's just too much of a change to the way PUBG plays.

It removes so much from an engagement in terms of communication. Im not discussing how I can take that fight any different, I just call on my mark and a guy dies, why discuss how you're going to flank or peek if you just can have everyone unload on someone. Taking one person out of a fight instantly gives you an upperhand.

Similarly if someone in another team spots you the chances are you now have 4 people looking at you instead of 1 or 2, you have a much lower chance of reacting because even 4 bad players shooting the same point are going to hit you.

If that's 4 players that are good without a ping the chances of all 4 seeing just you and no one else in your squad is super low.

I get that for random squads it's hard to play with non-native speakers. I've been there, done that it's a much harder game to enjoy. However most people will understand simple callouts and for the most part that's good enough to get you by, having this marker be implemented as map/compass only already gives much more information faster that would aid all those situations anyway.

If you can't read the compass and a map to find a target that's being shot at/shooting you then I can understand why people want it but surely there has to be some form of locating and communicating skill kept in the game. Right now in test once marked you can't miscall it, you can't fumble with your words on a decription, you can't get worried under pressure.

i would be ok with this. i think we should also have it fade in 1.5 seconds.

so, you have to have line of sight, and it will go away right after it pings... just like a ping.

it would still require you saying 'contact, 330' then you ping. i would be ok with this.
