Does Squad size have a limit yes or no?

[Scooty]

"The squad limit is defined by its leaders INT skill. The number of people that you can recruit is equal to your INT skill x2. So if you INT skill is 3 x 2 = 6 squad members.

If a squad has more members than the limit, squad members won't be able to use "Respawn on squad" and their squad won't be on the leaderboards."

Don't think there's an actual limit at the moment. The squad size number will depend on the INT attribute of the leader in the future, so the higher the attribute - the more people will be able to be in the same squad. This is not implemented yet, though.

all above have no respawn on squad and need to run 5-15 minutes after a sectorspawn

So no, no limits

I have 5 of INT and managed to put only 10/10 in the squad. How do I get more than 10 players?

Sorry then i was wrong. The description say the amount of people you can recruit.
This would mean you+10

For me its fun, I like fighting squads, but where is the consequence for death? I have no time to loot the bodies, I lose all my ammo killing them, the only thing they lost was the ammo wasted trying to kill me, and they recovered everything else.

For most players, this isn't fun.

Squads need to be balanced.

Exactly.

At least the INT thing is a start.

The limit is 10 with squad respawns higher without it.

This. It will see some more rebalancing in the future. INT governs the most important skills + squad size, meaning that it will be high in most player builds. We will distribute the skill tree a bit differently in the future, this will include engineering, ammo crafting , etc. That way the most useful skills won't all be governed by the same attribute, and neither will the squad size.

Hello DEV,

Hi friend

so my doubt is this, I can not invent more than 10 ...

What would it be like to do this?

You should respawn 20 minutes jog away from your body minimum, regardless of shelter or sector, or squad.

Then decide if the loot is worth the run, or have squad mate drive to you to pick you up.

Will it happen, nope, will it fix a lot of issues with balance, YUP.

Both of these are excellent ideas.
They keep adding more and more squad bonuses and making solo play ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Built-in squad communications?!? No walkies... but magical nametags and telepathic comms? You betcha! Anyone got another quarter I can pop in this arcade machine?

I was hoping to want to play again after this update. Looks like I'll have to wait a fair bit longer before that desire comes back.

I keep thinking about reinstalling DayZ, but I know that's not going to be productive.

Don't know I'm up to 9 members i'm just interpreting this " If a squad has more members than the limit, squad members won't be able to use "Respawn on squad" and their squad won't be on the leaderboards."

When you get killed by a player, 1/3 or half of your gear should be broken, including weapons and armor. That should just be part of looting a bullet riddled body and would add more consequence to death.

unfortunately your interpretation was wrong, or the patch announcement is wrong.
Because there is no way to invite more than 10!

Oh nvm then it must mean if you change leader and the limit lowers to below the member amount.

Squads need to be balanced.

...I don't think solos are even on the scales anymore.

Can we get a Dev's input on this, if true it changes everything. Is single player really going to be impossible to beat? So all I really need is an actual game Dev to come out and say "this is going to be impossible in solo." because that will be major.

As far as not even on the scales, recently a developer said something to the effect of "solos (they said lonewolves) will be getting their own bonuses to balanced them with squads" that does not sound exactly like not on the radar. What do I know.
