Does the ping system work?

[AladdinsFez]

The "place beacon" keybind is not working for me. Does it work for anyone else and is there a fix? This was very useful in DOS2.

It seems to not work. I wish it did, I rely on it heavily for Multiplayer to point things out to the party

A: Come look at this quick!
B: Where?
A: North!
B: Where's north?! The map is relative!
A: Near the stairs!
B: There are 3 sets of stairs!
A: THE RIGHT ONE
B: I DONT SEE A RIGHT ONE
A: *PANIC ATTACK*
B: WHERE ARE YOU?!
A: I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?
B: AT THE STAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is there NOT a ping system? Some of the hard-to-see secret places are so hard to explain.

What he said up there... This happens in EVERY game I play with a friend.
Please fix the ping beacon option. It doesn't work at all.

Both hit home and the orientation is the same, mention what you mean relative to your position (compass, clock, etc.) and they look based on where you are to what you're referring to.

People lacking awareness is the bigger issue, but yes, a working ping will help. ;-)

That's literally why we ping! Because someone lacks awareness! ;) You've described the entire point of pinging is to skip these steps~ Similarly, in League of Legends, I could surely describe the compass, clock, and relative locations of where to look and confuse them further while 5 people are talking on top of each other .... or ping.
