Ping

The player can place a Ping at the location where the cursor is by pressing + Left Mouse Button. The ping indicator shows up as an exclamation mark and is now visible on the on-screen Compass and Map. The ping also makes a sound coming from the ping location. Pings can be used to point at things for other players to see.

Current issues

 * Sometimes the player can get stuck in ping mode after using +  to switch windows out of the game, resulting in every click being interpreted as a ping regardless of if  is pressed. Press  again to resolve this, returning clicking functionality to normal.

Trivia
Ping can be used to survey terrain distance, although it has a limited range ~500 metres.
