Re: Pinging Players

Unfortunate Game··2 votes·503 views

So I wanted to suggest this along time ago...

When you hit tab and mute a player it should mute their pings.

The amount of times people spam ping just to annoy and it actually is quite annoying (job successful...). Was wondering if you'd implement this.

Mute them = Full mute, no pings visible/sound from them until you unmute them.

I would also love it, if I could selectively mute pings from people I mute in-game as well, selective ping muting would be great.

Only way to prevent this atm is to wait for them to hit their ping cap for a duration, or turn down the ping volume to make it tolerable (of course this affects all pings...)

There's a limit to pings. As soon as he spams he can't ping for awhile. Muting pings is an old idea and the major part of the community is against it.

Not true. They can just wait 20 or so odd seconds and reping you the limit. And on top of it, when you run into the duo pingers, the butt buddies 4 life, pinging their hearts away to annoy you.

What do you do then? Turn off game sounds/pings in general? report them? Nothing can be done lol

What's not true? You just rephrased what i said.

I hate to break it to you but muting pings has been poping out on the forum and boards for years now, and generally people don't want it implemented.

Dont think you realize but a 10 second break where they cant spam ping me for no reason isnt a "limit".

Dont think you really understand but ok.

Maybe they could instead mute the noise and have it only appear on the map, as a full on mute would prevent any communication and make people hesitant to mute people who really should be muted

I like that idea as well.
