The new ping spots are now fancier and better than a simple jpeg star, showing your profile picture and personal color to bring attention to yourself in many different ways.
I really disliked the idea to keep the pings a star only and thought "what if I made the ping something that represents the player?" and I used the chat coloring feature to implement this functionality.
Now all players can find it easier to identify who pinged it more effectively.
As the video shows, the pings attach to objects in the world, if assuming it exists of course, so now you can ping Rumbi to other players even though they aren't synced to each other or a moving platform that isn't in the right place, problems that exist in Online Party.
If you've been in "peck", you may notice that sometimes it's a little too much for a peck neck like yourself, and so will be the pings, you don't want little Timmy to be spamming you every few seconds a useless ping? Well now you can set your Communication Channel to avoid people like them.
Communication Channel comes in 3 forms:
All - You receive ALL pings in the current online party channel.
Friends - You receive pings only from your Steam Friends
Private/Custom - You receive messages from people who are also part of this private channel.
You can set your keyboard shortcuts to different hotkey that isn't one of the official controls, that's it, this is the section part. Key binding, wow.
Limiting Pings in Your Space
Another feature that was added is that pings now have a limit of 100 meters, with the farther they are, the more quieter they are to becoming completely muted. Would it really matter to you to pay attention for it for how far is it? You can also mute it entirely so their ping goes completely silent. (as an option to enable)
This range can be adjusted in settings to suit your needs but I really promise you that a 100 meters is quite forgiving!
I'm so happy with these changes to a feature I left in the dark for so long, not being adjusted with everything else in this mod advancing, Pings feel completed now and useful while avoid cases that would make them frustrating with random players in lobbies.
