Can we have new smart pings?

[Jelle.7856]

Is it possible for arenanet to add new pings to PVP. Kind of like the smart pings that League of legends has. Would love extra pings for "attack here" "stack here" "fall back" "i'm omw" etc. I'd think it would greatly improve coordination in solo queue play.

Are chat macros for doing just that even allowed? Totally agree with you btw just thinking if the tos allow chat macros for stuff like that or not. A built in feature would obviously be nicer though.

I'm not quite sure what would work best, but I was picturing something like this:

You can have whatever most common pings. And ideally it would relay on chat as well so you know who pinged

 

Also, might be a bit selfish but, if the ping button was mappable, that would make things even better

already got new pings not too long ago, but sure give us smart pings when the rest of the population is able to play ranked on the professional level. Then I won’t have to ping “defend” so random ppl realize not to leave node

I think we already have

Normal ping (red target)

Danger ping (yellow triangle)

Defend ping (blue shield)

Don't go there ping (cancel icon)

It's already in the game:

Read under "Alert Target".
