For those of you who have played Portal 2 coop, you'll know what this is about.
So pointing in this game is pointless. At most you get "Blarmoshlashkin points to <your PSN>". That's it.
There should be a marker that drops on your HUD indicating where I pointed at. Portal 2 has this, and it works fantastically.
To prevent spamming, just limit this feature to within a fireteam or to members of your raiding party/strike.
My point has been made, but you can keep reading if you want.
A good example is this one time at the Nexus strike. My friends and I were sitting above the nexus room, sniping minotaurs. We wanted to focus fire one Minotaur at a time, and specifying which one to hit was super tedious.
1- Oh that one at the back.
2- You mean the one standing by the pillar, or the one facing away from us?
1- Wait, there are two? I only see one.
2- Now there are three! And the one below us is firing at us. >:(
1- lets shoot that one then... Wait there are 2 firing at us now.
2- >>:( I know you can't see this, but I spontaneously grew another monobrow to show my discontent.
1- oh wait, sorry I'm actually a dreg. -_-
Ect...
Could be really easily solved with a pointer.
Not to mention the usefulness this would have in match made strikes or even the VoG.
Considering how 4 out of 5 of my Destiny friends stopped playing for reasons you'll find in 80% of these forums, I gotta say, I would love a feature like this when I'm playing with randoms.
