Pre-game Squads!?

[CynicalCanadian]

The game is called SQUAD! Why is there no pre-game squad system so you and your firends can join the same game together? The server browser dose not show the same matches for either party half the time and when it does they tend to be full. This seems to be a major oversight and I have not heard anything on the subject.

How would this be implemented though? Say you pre squad with 5 of your friends and try to join RIP (for example) which is always full with an average of a 10 player queue, so you and 5 of your friends are sat in this queue at the front and theres 10 guys behind you, because you're pre squaded you can ONLY join if there are 6 free slots and they have to be 6 player slots on the same team, you're just holding up the rest of the guys in the queue who can't skip you because otherwise you'd never get in.

It would be never ending. Just queue like everyone else and team switch until you're all on the same side. Teams dont get scrambled after a game so you'd always be on the same side from then on.

Your suggestion seems more inconvienient than it is now.

Or i just join a server with room and we all enter at the same time without having to worry that slots got taken up before we can all load in individually. God I don't how this is so difficult for all of you to get. Almost every shooter on the market has this system and it is NOT hard to add. Please people do some reaserch and actually think about what you are saying before speaking. This is just getting sad.

Well if you're joining half empty server why the hell do you even need this feature? My point was it would choke up the queue's for full and popular servers with large queues.

Oh and i forgot. If you load a map NOBODY can take your place in a server. That is because you enter a server and THEN you get information on what map needs to be loaded etc.

but almost ever PC game has pre game squad and it works.

When did you start playing PC games?

And as for a worse experince prove that statement please because sounds made up.

Look at TF2's community before and after it had Quickplay/Matchmaking, or just look at its Steam forum if you don't know what the after looks like. Look at CS1.6 or CSS and compare it with CS:GO. Look at any peer to peer matchmaking which leaves players at the mercy of official bans, meaning public games are often ruined by cheaters or griefers. Squad couldn't even work with peer to peer matchmaking, you'd have a max of 20 or so players and performance would be horrible with the game delegating server tasks to one of the clients and this client not having the proper network setup to host a game. Which leaves dumping players into existing servers, this is what TF2's quickplay did and it effectively ruined many community servers by dumping random non-community members into it. Instead of community members and a few donators playing, you'd get a bunch of random impatient self-serving players who didn't respect the fact that they were on someone else's server. Then if you want to use official servers, you don't have an effective means of administrating it and that provides the same bad game experience.

Your talking about the network connections, which I agree P2P is awful. But you dont need a P2P system to add in a pregame squad lobby. Battlefield is an example of this. Both Private and Official servers not P2P connection and they have pre game squads. Its not hard to do. Wont change the way squad runs and all it will do is add in a much needed, IMO, system for playing with friends.

It's hilarious how the majority of people here don't really get the point the OP is making and try to defend the lack of actual squad oriented features in the game.

This game is called Squad, pretty much requires people to own a mic and communicate and claims to be extremely teamwork oriented, but has no simple feature to prepare your own squad before joining a server, even games like R6:Siege and CS:GO have such a simple game mechanic/feature.

By defending every single negative the developers have made, you are not really making the game any better. The game is still in development and missing features and failures need to be pointed out and fixed, as simple as that. This is the whole point of a early access/ beta.

One should not be required to join discord, teamspeak or whatever to keep his squad organised, this should be part of the game already, as it claims to be, what it claims to be.

And stop coming up to compare Squad to mainstream games which mostly have a toxic playerbase and use this as a reason against such a nice and easy feature.

It would make many things more easy and organised. It is that simple.

No, read my entire post.

in terms of ..a top 100 list of must haves.. this hits 101. when there are third party options out there that can easily solve the problem no need to spend dev time creating it until all else is resolved.. not lost on anybody.. fact is whole clans have been getting on fine joining servers without the need for it so Im sure a couple friends can manage easily.

How is this even an issue for you guys? You literally just tell your friends what server you are in then team up... All pre-game squads are gonna do is throw off team balance, bulk up the queue more, and you're assuming 1 squad might have enough room for you all to join together cause "Party Leader" is gonna be picking the squad you're all joining and if not it all becomes completely redundent because you'll all just to go through the same squad joining process that's already in game.

There are entire groups of people that have no problem joining servers and teaming up.

Agree, we need such thing, maybe later in development

ARE you STUPID

[XeNdErZ]

It's been discussed in round table discussion.Owi recently hired a guy from ea who has good knowledge on the workings of partied play. Will be addressed in due course I think.

[Lxcer]

I don't think they need to add anything, the steam join game works but not that great. If anything they just need to improve how the game works with steam instead of creating something from scratch.

[Reitz]

what we rly need in squad is after the countdown on round starts there is still little countdown like for 15 secs to get all people in the trucks / ready to move and the base is locked (you cannot leave from there) and after that 15 secs are over you can go out of the base without any traffic jams / door blockings etc..

[TERMINATOR-SSD]

All i want is a ' SQUAD' party system which you can add friends into THEN join a server TOGETHER on the same team.

Its so annoying having to find a server, then tell your friend/s and some cant find the server etc etc it becomes full. Then you have to restart the whole damn thing again. And the Steam Join option hardly ever works. All i want to see is a simple Squad party manager where you can add friends, and all join together on a server with space..... please.
