New Team Sounds

[Gambet]

You really need to make it so you can only send one of those new team sounds once per every X amount of seconds, because people are using it over and over again (most of them are trials or just a bunch of annoying players), and its annoying everyone. They are using it for no reason, just to bother people. Practically everyone in my team had to turn off their volume because these people wouldnt stop (I know this because they said it over team chat). They are being carelessly abused, and you need to add some restrictions.

Currently players on trial accounts can only send one team sound each 5 seconds, with upgraded account each second.

Seconds past by pretty quickly, why not once every 5-10 seconds?

EDIT: Also, make it so that when a person is using a team sound, someone else cant use one until the previous one is complete. There was a lot of sound overlapping earlier.

... No soldier would be caught on the battle field with no Radio COntact , so it makes no sense and if you hate it to much turn down the SFX

It's good for contacting team members, like saying "go go go" or "follow me" instead of just stupidly running into the battle without ever contacting team members. It increases the team factor in my opinion.

Stefan, you need to remember one thing.....the people on Zone do not either know how to work as a team, or choose to not work as a team. Its a neat feature, but people are using it carelessly and people arnt really paying attention to the meaning of the sounds being sent. People hear the sounds over and over again and end up getting annoyed instead of trying to figure out why it was sent. Zone has a lack of teamwork.

Then we need to make it easier to do team work.
- We could add some map overview / minimap that only shows your team members and eventually shows special icons if you call "mayday" or "enemy in sight".
- Camping in bases should probably be made harder. I could imagine warping people back to the dropship if they stay more than 30 seconds in a base or tent or if you don't hurt an enemy or get hurt by an enemy for 120 seconds.

Both would be good, but I dont see how the first one would improve teamwork.

Instead of if you camp in one of the tents or bunkers too long you get warped to the dropship, why dont you make it so if you idle for X amount of time while inside the map, then you are warped to a dropship, and if you are in a team in the dropship and you take X amount of time before going into the battlefield, then you will be kicked from the team?

I think that would be better.

For teamwork you first need to know where you team members are and what they are doing, the second thing is that you need to be able to communicate with them. In a battle you cannot type in text, so icons/sounds showing what you are giving or needing would be best.

It's what I wanted to do, if you are idling then you are put back to the dropship and are put out of the team.

And how about you have to wait X amount of time for the "staying inside the base" time resets, cause people will just walk out of the base or tent and walk back in. But I still dont know how this will increase teamwork, they can still go to some random place and place and camp there, and if you have it so if they go back to the dropship if standing, then theyll just walk around and continue camping. And About the bases, they can just camp there, Go backt o the battlefield, camp there, go back to the battlefield, so how about making it so that if you do this 3 times, they get kicked off the team and they ahve to wait a X amount of time until they can go back in a team. And if they camp 9 times while there on the planet, they get kicked off the planet and have to wait an X amount of time until they can go back to the planet.
