Players not reacting to pings

Non-communicative players is an old problem, which will probably never be solved because humans beings.

I think the general agreement is that the threshold for kicking such players for bad teamplay is substantially lower than a player who is actually communicating and responding to communication in a cooperative manner.

It is entirely unrealistic to expect any specific person to be looking at whatever part of the map you choose to ping at a moment's notice.

And if you feel the need for 10 minutes of constant ping spams you can expect nobody to pay attention to your pings.

quote: I have experienced that many players do not react to pings / labels at all. In a game like Zero-K, where teamplay is crucial, this is really frustrating; you can imagine what situations require such pings: suiciding units, unused units, reclaiming of stuff that is getting resurrected or other stuff that needs immediate reaction. I am not talking about AFK players here, I am talking about players who do not notice 10 minutes of constant ping spams.

Other players don't have a responsibility to respond to your pings, especially, to the type of ping that is more about micromanaging the other player than it is about coordination. You can ping people for useful tips or things they may have missed, but if they're unresponsive then just leave them play their own game at their skill level. There is a lot going on in the game and I suspect people often just can't spare the attention.

There is bit of room to improve the communication options and make it harder to accidentally miss relevant messages.

In the match got Friendly fire lost point in rank be for it was 23% then 21% and 20% get point back when doing the game with other player how get point 20% rank


also If you wanted Join clan Lron Blood know rules also don't broken him one day be top1 clan some day with honor of soldier clan in Lron blood only if you wanted Password 16589 also have Respond in Lron blood clan also leaders in that clan as well
and honor falling Soldier

also don't changed logo without my permission










there some player who are AFK as well in the game match right now still low rank level and other player are playing high rank Small game played as well

F3 scrolls thru... hmm labels at least, maybe pings too, not sure actually, but I just use it and its great.

Again something that BA did great, if I remember right pings leave a small icon on edge of screen toward the location where it happened, and clicking on it jumps you to that location. Small things that make life happier.

I have many times noticed labels or important pings minutes after they happened. Even if someone writes my name on chat I will not notice. Again something that was somehow much better in BA; noticing chat messages.

Would be cool if you make ping directly on someones unit, it gives the owner a special notification. Dozens of times it would have helped a lot if the other person would just notice the situation even with no text(your com is going to die if you dont move it right now, move that idle ultimatum now, use these idle cons to reclaim, stop firing that tremor on my advancing units...).

Or have labels text show as transparent text on side of the screen for 20 or so seconds, right click to delete, left click to go to the label.

It would be nice to have a list of "active" pings, or at least named pings. Would also encourage people to erase such pings when they stopped being relevant.

All (named) pings would be active until they were erased.

Technically that is already how it works, since pings stick to the battlefield cluttering up the view until someone deletes them. I think having a list would both make it easier to find/remember still-relevant information, while encouraging people to delete pings that don't matter anymore.

Non-named pings could be presumed to be one-time-only attention grabs and disappear on their own after a minute.

Erased for everybody. I'm assuming that pings and map drawings are global here. They are, right?
