One little addition to the list: now that it shows the ammo count a player has when pinging for more, could we also have the count shown when pinging a stack of ammo on the ground? I won’t run 100 meters to grab 3 x 20 light ammo, but I might for 3 x 60.

Just ammo on the ground? Or perhaps you'd also like to know the amount of ammo in a deathbox or blackmarket as well? ;)

Hey, I have one suggestion for BR pubs. The game right now is infested with people who jump from game to game as soon as they are downed, dozens of matches I end up alone because my random teammates immediately leave instead of waiting for the clutch.
Frequent leavers should receive a cooldown in my opinion, it would greatly improve the quality of random matchmaking.
Thank you for your work!

On a personal level, I agree with this. Tracking this does become a much more complex task, though; doable, just a bigger problem to solve. I can raise this internally. An issue like this I'm definitely not "the decider," but I can raise with the team.

That's already the case. You will NOT be penalized if you're short-squaded. Likewise, if someone else leaves your party first, they will be penalized, but if you then do not want to stay, and you leave, you will NOT be penalized.

This looks like such a great implementation too, the color change and holding the button. A few times I've routinely clicked the button like I'm used too, thinking I was in the clear (self-revive in the team being a major bait). I was thinking maybe put the button in a different place but this is better.

While we're on the subject QOL changes, here are a few ideas if you don't mind, some of which have been regularly debated here :

Re-add the "switch weapons" button when looting a death box that disappeared with the S5 loot menu overhaul.

Add the option to disable "double ping to ping ennemies". So many times people accidentally double ping.

Add the option to not perform melee attacks with the "fire" button. To prevent punching the air when I cancel a healing item or exit a portal or land from a skydive. If I want to melee, I will use the dedicated key.

Make it so only the "attack" button button cance...

Thanks. It's a very good list. And valid, relatable reasons for all of them. Not sure I agree on all of them, but in those cases it's just personal opinion.

Generally speaking, the "add option" is a tricky one. Option menus can easily become way overloaded and useless. Like, most people never touch their settings, and that gets worse (in general) as you add more options. Plus the more "options" you have, the more that you have to track and the more potential there are for bugs. So I definitely understand wanting options, but options are a delicate subject.

Some of the more general topics around "favoriting" is an ongoing topic. We've introduced more features around teammate status, and I think that's definitely an area to explore further. You'll note, for example, when a teammate pings ammo, we now tell you how much they have.

Regardless, appreciate the feedback and there's some good stuff in here to think on further.

Only for modes with the leaver penalty - Ranked, Arenas (both Ranked & Regular Arenas). This is NOT adding a penalty for leaving in BR pubs.

Hey @xJaYenx,

To make sure we're on the same page here, it looks like there was some additional chat previously that's not appropriate to repeat here, so it may be worth checking through your emails just in case those were missed in the past. Those may help clarify the prior actions a bit more if there's further confusion.

Just to be clear, while certain replies may have templated responses, those are to ensure we're providing consistent and accurate information to people in specific situations. Each report is manually investigated by a separate member of the ToS team before any reply is sent out.

Thank you! It always makes me so happy and proud when someone is hyped for my contribution. Even if I did have to scroll an awfully long way to find it, I am honored to have delivered something that you would "YESSSSSSSS" to!

Take this Nessy (aka Snek) as gratitude.

Thanks, that does seem to be it. I'll double check this is working as intended - whether passives are affected seems to be a bit inconsistent between Legends- but this does appear to be as designed.

Thanks again and I'll update this thread if I hear of any changes on this front.

Edit: yep I got word back this is working as it should.

@SILVERisSORRY Interesting. I know it's a bit of a long shot, but would you have a clip of this happening?

It might show some weird circumstance that caused the passive to not trigger.

Edit: could you have been silenced at the time?
