Add pings / shared waypoints in Multiplayer
As of right now it's a bit laborious to communicate exact locations with fellow players. The ability to ping on the worldmap / share waypoints would simplify that issue.
Pings would probably be the easier solution as it's a short term signal, which could be connected to a short cooldown, avoiding cluttered maps with lots of shared waypoints.

Joel MergedIt would be good to be able to somehow share map reveals in multiplayer, either just automatic or a special workstation where players can update the communal map.

1gamerdadYes please, my wife and I are in the same room playing mp and struggling to know where to go or point things out. It would be nice to say hey pick this up (pinged). Or we are heading here and ping on the map or in game.

Mike Yang MergedI want to be able to add markers and waypoints so my friends on the same server as I can see that I found some resources/interesting area just by marking it on the map. This way we can also remember where certain nodes are when found.

Hannespls allow more communication and coordination for this as social game experience, i think its a core unique selling property.
text and pinging each other (and maybe emotes) would help! -

ColeI like how Valheim has a cartography table, the ping, etc. Also, suggestions for Emotes and custom-typed text markers.

AlexAlso, I think being able to mark spots when looking around in the overworld, similar to games like fortnite, or other shooters, even zelda has a way to look at somewhere, and mark that spot. Whether that's a temporary marker for multiplayer, or if you hold it you get more options to make permanent mark on the map, but a way to look in gameplay and look around to mark what you see in front of you

GRNot only a ping in multi would be great as a marker. I saw a cool place I wanted to look at but I had to dig up the mountain ended on top of the mountain and had no clue where it was just a ping or something waypoints are cool and all but good to have a marker you could add in the game view

NickThe fact that a shared waypoint / ping system isnt there already is fairly shocking for such a muilti PVE game.
However...
I'm 77 hrs in and the game has captured my heart like so few games do nowadays and im very thankfull. I hope all the sugguestions get made and the game has cult level success! -

ArashiThis would make group navigation so much easier, and is a fairly standard feature in most map games.

ViperNeed this more than anything else right now. Need this to make co-op playable, even just a WIP placeholder mechanic, anything.

EryxIts good for pinging the whole group where we are going atm but not good enuf, theres no way for us to quick excess a very specified ping, such as when we reach location, we would see a box from a different perspective from our member who happens to be very near to the place, but would not know if theres anything above or below them. Like Apex Legend ping system, which is what i think the game really need.

KP Mergedwhen setting a way point, all players you are playing with should be able to see the marker

Ladramoon MergedI believe anyone on the server should be able to see my map markers, and vise versa. This can be a toggleable thing by the server admin, of course, but it would be a lot more convenient than having to ping anytime I want to show someone where Clay is, for example.

Ebrilosch MergedHello there,
as I am going to complete the Shrine achievement for every biome I was wondering if it would make sense to be able to Chain Waypoints.
Like Shift+RMB for every waypoint beyond the first.
And on top of that, since I am doing it with my mate, we discussed the posibility of a shared waypoint system. maybe as an toggle option for the worldmap?
If on, everyone on the server can see your WP's (if that player has it also toggled on) and dont keep WP's during session, so the map wont be overloaded if there are many players on the server.
Or the option for "Server-WP", so it would be an extra Roll like building etc -
