About quickhack PING

Should I get rid of it? I hear it's useless now.

Also...did we have tiers before 2.0? I can't recall. It's been a month or so.

Another observation:
I do agree with ppl in the forum who say that the AI is less responsive than before. One thing that I noticed before was that...if I accidentally drew my gun, they'd all start screaming and running. Now, not so much.
Not getting any clones though.

I never had a issue with drawing my weapon and causing aggro. Always happened after shooting.

As far as ping, I still use it to help find targets

Pings good if you want to know where everyone is and not bother with hacking into cameras and the like. idk why anyone would call it useless.

Oh okay, it didn't seem to work for me on my last mission. I'll wait and try it again and see. Thanks.
but before the update, yep, all I had to do was draw my gun and the AI would scatter like roaches.

I know what it does but it wasn't working for me the other night and I asked and was told that. Idk, I'll try it again. Thanks.

The enemy outlines from ping only last a couple seconds and can sometimes disappear behind other outlined objects. Once it starts go into scan mode and manually mark the enemies, also move around a bit incase they are hidden.

Iconic Ping is epic. It even uses almost 2x less RAM than normal one.

Ping is really useful up until you can get the Oracle eyes, especially tier 5 and up Oracles; after that, I'd say it's more useful to slot in a different QH to maximize your combat/stealth options.

Ping is good for use on the cops early game if you're later on planning on using sandivistan or berserker, so you can train netrunner skill to get the 2 perks.

They did nerf ping pretty hard, it doesn't last anywhere near long enough. I just grabbed a mod that tags enemies automatically when pinged.

I don't like it but at least it makes ping less ♥♥♥♥.

Buddy, you should mark every enemy. Then you can see them moving through walls the whole time without using Ping again. Marking works with every eye and no need for any mod.

So use Ping to find them, mark them and then when Ping no longer works you can still see everyone you marked.

Yes, I have 1300 hours in the game so I know how it works. I do try to tag every enemy. But even with legendary ping the enemy highlights only last a few seconds, and it's bad. It used to last significantly longer. I got bored of having to ping everything 58 times and try to tag everyone and hope they were not behind something that prevents the tag, so I got a mod for it. Problem solved.

They should have left the ping duration alone. At least in my opinion.

EDIT: Clarified a few words.

Oracle is the way to go.

If you want test responsiveness, go for a drive and fire off a round.

I used Ping a lot until I got the oracle cyber-eyes. Now I mostly use it to hack security camera to friendly mode through walls before entering a building.

[mcdcecil]

I have never used it. There are a few others that don't get allot of use. weapon glitch, bait, mem wipe, Vision, Sonic, cyber malfunction, i can't remember em all. Cyber psychosis a favorite. and a grenade of their own ,suicide , gota love it. and the crem de la crem , system failure. pin them down and burn over heat . I get a little mixed up tryin to remember whats what.
