[Conflict Feedback] "Transport request to objective" capability needs to be removed
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

I really think the "transport request to objective" capability needs to be removed.

It really breaks immersion and just seems ridiculous that you can bypass enormous sections of the map instantly to magically appear behind the enemy. And you can then spawn other people behind you if you're wearing a radio backpack or you're a group leader. Its a bit silly, IMHO.

I think transporting to your group leader (within radio range and not wearing a radio backpack) is probably OK, considering the intent with that is to try to keep players together. IF there was no "transport request to objective" used, then at least they had to physically get there somehow.

Yes, frankly speaking, I’ve played 100 hours without knowing about this retarded feature. When defending, I’ve been searching in the woods for Mobile HQ, Radioman, Deployed radio/Rally point, but didn’t find anything. But all this time, because of the enemy’s radio signal/connection to the point they’ve been just instantly teleporting to our objective from the their main base

And I’m for complete removal of this feature/giving an opportunity for hosts to disable it. Because if your squad communication is decent, you won’t ever get lost or separated by accident

I also hate this. This feature is stupid. Needs to go.

Amen, I was going crazy wondering how tf were everyone sneaking past ambushes or how come they used so little vehicles (I love to ambush convoys) and guessing I was just blind, yesterday I got told of this feature... please make them at least server choice, and disable it (along with 3rd person view) in official servers

At the very least fast travel should only work to travel to friendly bases, best removed

I kinda like it, but 10 minutes cooldown is not enough

*At the very least fast travel should only work to travel to friendly bases which are not under attack/where enemies are not around.

you can teleport only on your squadleader every 10 mins, right?

no, you can teleport to your group objective as well, which mmeans you can spawn within 300m of an enemy base once every 10 min and you can carry a radio with you, makign it a spawn for the whole team

Edit: and may I add that it defeats the purpose of convoys and other usual ways of travel, makes no sense to set up an ambush from an enemy base to your own when they can jsut tp to it

I think BI brought this in to placate noobs for 1.0, so they don’t have to deal with navigating and getting themselves around the map and getting lost and ambushed by AI every 500m!

They should make it configurable server-side.

sometimes I can even teleport on players..
ok, I understood you position, but it can be easily bi fixed by not allowing to teleport with radio backpack
