Location Pings

Name: Brian Limmond

RP Rank: MSG

Suggestion: Add a "ping" system to the server, similar to what most modern multiplayer shooter games have.

Implementation: Most of the time, there's always at least one person in an event who runs around like a headless chicken because they wandered away from their team and can't get back to them without someone taking a long time to figure out where both of them are and how to explain the route to them. If we added a simple ping system, usable by typing a command (which players could obviously bind for ease) it would make coordination and teamwork in events easily 10x smoother. It wouldn't have to be anything complex, a simple marker that shows up as part of your hud wherever the player was looking when they pinged, most likely only viewable by people in the same battalion or job group as you so that random CTs can't just spam pings that everyone can see.

Lore: N/A

Workshop content if applicable: Requires development

I find this very interesting, It would help alot with the aspect of needing reinforcements. What do you have in mind for the pinging specifically? an in game arrow with a distance above that disappears over time? or something on your screens that says something like "Need backup at _____"

Could be anything really, I'll leave it up to the devs whether they want to make it basic, immersive, etc. since just the implementation itsself can really help with coordination in events which a lot of people struggle with

-1 I don’t even know how this would be implemented without a group / squad system 

those add a lot of extra lag and this would too

Also I'm not necessarily suggesting any pre existing workshop version or something, but just that anything as simple as need be can be implemented however the devs see fit to avoid lag. I'm no coder but all it needs to be is a hud element linked to the spot it was placed on the map which I don't personally see how that could be overly laggy

-1 I agree this would be more detrimental than it does help honestly its a good idea but it wouldnt pan out here

Not 100% sure how they would go about implementing this, but if they could find a way that would be great! Maybe link it to the jobs/categories if possible? Say all 104th related jobs can see their pings but like 501st couldn't? Not sure. Still though, as someone who is shit with calling out locations this is great!
