    How about an ester egg that if you send out a certain (large) amount of pings or a certain frequency then this effect appears (but it then goes on 15 minute cooldown).

    You won't think this when you will use the ping system. It's a much faster way to communicate than verbally. Instead of saying "send your army between these two moutains over there" (very approximative), you will just ping the exact spot you want your ally to send his army for example.

    Can I just point out that my friends who play Lol/Dota over voice chat use map pings? It does not replace voice chat.

    Ahahahaha, this just sums this game over the top action up perfectly.

    This game is so UBER than even the ping tool triggers a planetary EXPLOSION rofl.

    agreed. i've "abused" the crap out of Lol's "assist me" ping to make stuff clear to teammates.
    "where do you want me? *ping*
    "warding?" *ping*
    well you get the gist of it :p

    pinging = essential.

    did I miss anything in the latest brief livestream? wasn't there one after the map ping one? Or am I imagining things again?!

    I did a stream where I joined the play test and my commander never showed up. It was brief and uninteresting. And then I missed the one where we had fixed the shenanigans, so next time for sure!

    heh, thanks, I'll never get used to getting answers from the game devs personally :p
    P.S. Love the vids, please keep 'em coming if you have time!

    Addition of a ping will great, but...

    I really miss pings(markers) from Spring - those were perfect. It was possible to
    1) put a marker on on the map (just colored 'tick')
    2) put a marker with a note (same tick as above but with additional text)
    3) erase markers from some area (holding a button and waving with mouse cursor)
    4) draw arbitrary lines (eraseable).

    I'd love to see these, especially 1-2-3. A ping that disappears is not that useful, especially if it appears on some other planet, or on the other side of current planet.

    wow. that new D-Gun looks awesome!!! How was your commander moving around the planet so fast? Can't wait to explore new comm rush possibilities with this. so epic. might be just a tad OP, but so fun-looking!
