People creating and abandoning the squads they created.

[N7Konstantine]

You feel something is wrong. The team is not communicating. Squads are all over the map but the objectives. Everyone is lolygagging around and derping with the goats in the Basrah mountains. Then you press TAB and you see at least 2 to 3 Squads with random people as SL but no SL kit. You shake your head. Then you quickly press Enter to change teams in hope that you get an actual team to play with. "Teams are unbalanced you cannot change teams". You press ESC and then Disconnect and join another server in the hopes of teamwork.... But seriously now I believe this new trend of creating the squad without the intention to lead it has to be stopped somehow. I believe that this issue should be addressed cause I feel like its ruinning the overall experience. There have been countless games that had been lost at the very beginning of the round itself due to people that create squads without the intention to lead them. Post your suggestions :)

I would suggest you just join another squad!? I have this problem maybe once in a million years. I just join a server...If i dont wanna SL i wait and see who is in charge (if his name is something along the lines of "i ♥♥♥♥ ducks for a living or All gays must die") i usually just wait. If i still see that the team setup is awful i change side. If i cant i leave the server. Easy

Abandoning your Squad is a kickable offense on most servers I've come across so it's a rare problem for me. Maybe it's one of those rules like no camping Main spawn that should be normalised across servers.

[N7Konstantine]

You missed my point Alpha Bravo. I know I can do that and I have done it countless amount of times unfortunately. My point is that it should somehow be addressed by the devs so tthat they add a system that makes people incapable of creating squads they are not intending to lead

I can't really think of a good way they could prevent that.
Especially since you sometimes have to re-open a squad. For example when you forgot to name it.


Personally I usually avoid joining squads where the leader is not in the first slot and or has no SL kit.

Also, if someone creates a squad and then passes the lead to me as I join, he's going to be the first one to get kicked out of said squad.

[THE END]

Best solution is , make sure you are the one create and lead. I mean, you don't need to be Hardcore talker, just be clear to everyone in squad and other SL's where your team needs to go and drop rally frequently.


This helps everyone in Team. If your team have one -two backseat leading then kick them , as they should have created their own Squad if really want to lead/decide on tactics.

But ofc, if you have 2-3 other Teams without SL as you've mentioned, there is no luck i suppose other than switch .

I do always play on RIP - 2FJG servers and admins are pretty solid. Very rare this happens.

2.FJG NA server (mostly better than 2.FJG EU , don't know Why but players seems play more tactically)

Well I have noticed everyone sits idle at the begining of a round until a person starts a squad, then 8 others join in less than 3 seconds. I think some people just start a squad then promote someone else to SL after everyone joins. This leads to someone having no idea they are now the SL.

Simple: If you create a squad, you can't leave it unless it's empty or you give someone else SL and they accept it, which would have to be a new feature. If you have a legitimate reason to leave you can either remove everyone or give someone else leader, the only reason you have to just randomly drop out is so you can force SL on someone else and then join back up real quick and pick the kit you want Marksman.

Such as the vehicle approval function "(NAME) wants to promote you to squad leader" Page up to Accept Page down to decline?

I like it

[N7Konstantine]

I believe that a timer after creating and leaving a Squad should be implemented. And instead of only being able to change the name of the squad when you create it you can change it even after creating it thus removing the whole argument that "oh i didnt change its name". Besides in the hecticness and also when everything is chill no SL is gonna call you with your squad name but with your squad number so the whole title of the squad is just an informational for players who are joining.

[embecmom]

when I join a squad and they guy that says 'can someone take squad lead' after creating the squad, I say yes I will take it. I then to proceed to kick them from the squad... I think idea to put in a timer that stops the creation of a squad after first creating one would be a good idea.

the idea that you cant leave the squad... quit the game... and rejoin.

[Tajin]

yeah, approval for beeing promoted sounds like a good thing to add

[Krymz (On Linux Mint)]

maybe making it harder to make a squad to being with. So that new players don't go "well I guess I'll create a squad"...

first I am not talking directly to you. Im talking to those with those rules in the servers. Rules like that kills games. listen I play when I play and I leave when I leave and I play how I want to play. I'm not going to be worried about how I have to play or how long I have to stand in a spot just cause others get mad. Also servers forcing you to join a squad? I'll join it if I feel like it. Doesn't matter what you or anyone else says. Goes into one ear and out the other. I laugh when people talk to me in the game and tell me hey go do this. I ain't doing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing stfu and I continue my way like if I never heard anything laughing in my end. Hate all you want. I ain't paying for a game to be your puppet. Only people I play with and chat with and listen to are my own friends. With that said Im Unsubed.

I dont hate and they dont hate, they just kick and move on.
Have to ask though, why did you buy a game called Squad that is clearly described as a team game if you have no interest in team play?
Kinda sounds like you are setting yourself up for a salty experience.

[N7Konstantine]

Squad is a teamwork oriented game. To win and to have fun you have to work as a team. SLs are not there to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥(=mind you there are some people that do sound entitled and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) they are there to coordinate each other and people to an objective that everyone have to achieve in order to win the game. I am not saying you should not be allowed to leave the game itself. Like I bet if you have to go and tell the squad that or other SLs they will understand and know what the situation is. My point is that people (I am hoping thats not you) who create squads and then leave it just to rejoin it or create a squad and then pass SL to the first person that comes in is a very unfair thing to do since being an SL has its responsibility and most people are not confident enough to lead 8 other people plus other SLs. And like Sea Bass said if you want to play lonewolf then go play battlefield or cod or even arma KOTH. There is absolutely no reason for you to play a game like Squad if cooperation is not your thing.
