Squad control

[Thomas Dane]

Would it be possible to create a symbol om map Where members are located,
So all squad members can see each other?.

How dø we se who is in our squad?

How do we kick members from squad?

the system for grouping will be in the future, now you can only invite a player, and at a distance of about 200m his nickname will be visible
On the map you can not mark anything, I think it will be recycled when it is sent to the world as an object that can be found

My opinion is that gang members shouldn't show on the map. Maybe be able to mark a single meeting spot for the gang to call home that displays on the map. There will hopefully be a roster of gang members. It would be neat to have predefined titles that could be assigned to gang members on the roster (leader, etc.) Being able to kick members is needed as well, but I'm sure the developers are fleshing out the whole gang system.

The reason I think gang members shouldn't show on the map is because it just seems to take away from the immersion/communication element of the game. Maybe provide a way for private servers to enable/disable that feature if it's ever implemented.

But that they have given the opportunity to make squads, but not made a list of members and the opportunity to throw players out of squad, it is a bit bad and should be prioritized .. I totally agree, it may well be that that his fellow players on the map are not necessary .. But we clearly need to quickly see members and throw them out. Because right now it's not just the squad leader who can take players into squad, it's all those who are in the group

Yeah, that should be changed. I only ever play with 1 or 2 other family members, but I can see how that would be a major issue when you don't really know people.

We're planning on introducing walkie - talkies into the game specifically for squad purposes. I like the ideas mentioned above and we will probably work towards something similar. ( Meaning that you will have to carry one of those to see your squad mates position on the map and vice versa ).

That would be absolut cool with the walkie talkies, that works like gps..

As Squad leader, you should have a new list when you enter "Tab", this list should be so the leader can kick members og move the to higher rank

Good suggestion ! I agree.

do not make squads powerful it will kill game play for those who like to go out solo

Oh no.... squads will be visible to themselves on maps? That's terrible... in any/every way, shape, or form. How do you balance it? Does everyone on the server get to see where all members of marked squads are? I thought the map was disappearing? Has the game changed gears? Is this still going to be a survival game?

Magical maps with blue triangles ALREADY make the game WAY more arecadey than I like. Between lego-like base building and now magical squad markers on maps giving them even more of an advantage, I don't know if I like these new directions.

This game is supposed to be realistic as possible, you shouldn't see each other on the map, nor have blue outlines saying who it is, or coloured name tags above the name.

Maby there shoulden be a map at all, you have to find it first.. and then you only could have

Walkies AND gps as two different items.

[Danton]

There has to be a way for friends and family to find each other. The harder that is in game, the less people will stick around to play. Cater to the few and have low population and a game that will die, or make the game a little more player friendly so that more will play. Developer's choice.

Consider reading SCUM - MASTER FAQ & INFO THREAD.
As far as goals and prescribed methodologies go "Teamwork" is not one of them.

If they want to exclusively target the niche, they are going to get the niche of gamers. Most people play MMOs to join up with friends. It's their game though, and they can decide to have as small of a player base as they decide to shoot for.

I know it's an EA game, it's only $20. Now look at the amount of completely dead servers - private or otherwise.
