  • Double tap up on the dpad to "motion guardian over" or something like that

  • Something like that would be nice, quick, and easy to use for those on-spot situations. That or have voice chat active so nearby players could year you say something.

  • I really wanted proximity chat when this game came out, but I've realized it would mostly be background noise (music, kids jabbering, parents yelling at kids, people having conversations irl.) I bet it would be more annoying than usefull. I will send a party invite if the usual wave and point doesn't get a players attention, but a flare gun or "motion over" emote would be nice.

  • You got that right. I've used half my ammo tonight and pointed and waved and danced, but no takers. Then again, if players don't get this technique, I can understand them avoiding (what appears to them to be) some crazy fool shooting, waving, pointing, and dancing.

  • Yeah... I sometimes feel a bit crazy jumping and shooting at someone to get their attention, only to have them turn and look at me (or I assume in my direction) and just... stare, for a bit before hopping on their speeder bike and riding off.

  • Or they could just make the point gesture more dynamic. When you point at a person it puts it in the feed ie: "JTRANK THE TANK dances with Foehammer2" I dont see why it would be too hard to do the same with anything you can interact with in the environment ie: "JTRANK THE TANK points to spirit bloom"

  • I think that could work very well as long as Bungie doesn't mess with how close/far someone is and still see update text. It seems like it's Almost zone based, maybe half a zone atm? I lose track but I have seen updates when people produce light orbs as well as 'player is near'.
