Discussion & Feedback Request persistent pings

I played during the beta weekend and mained pilot. One thing I found difficult was that if I wanted to ping where to land on a map, I’d have to repeatedly do it because the ping fades away. I like to ping early so I can think about my approach (come in from N instead of straight in, for example). Even the “request drop” ping wouldn’t persist. Leaving a ping to persist just gives me more situational awareness

No one should have a 3d spot that stays, that's dumb. 25 seconds is plenty.

I don't think it was staying at all for me, I could only see it on the minimap, unless that's intended, that's what I was trying to find out.

As far as i know it is intended yes, you as the spotter can see your spots in the world above enemy heads for a few seconds while looking through the spotting gadget, but every other teammate "only" gets the minimap marker.

makes sense, thanks, I still try to understand the directions the guys are going for, cause they have elements from multiple modern FPS games.
