I accidentally deleted a screenie I had from a few days back. WTH is going on with default grouping on live and on UAT? In several matches on BOTH servers, I noticed 6 to 8 "squads" with 1/10, and three to five other squads with 2/10, 3/10. Probably a dozen various squads with 1 to 4 players. That's broken guys. Players that join should be put into a Squad that has players until the squad is full(10/10). Looking at the squad roster and seeing 10 to 15 squads with 1 to 3 players, what a mess, and such lost potential squad based game play. Most players probably dont even bother to look at the roster or their squad because there's really no reason to. This is a testament to how squad mechanics are so totally lacking in EC. Nobody cares that they're in a 1 to 3 man squad because for the most part we don't need squad mates because of the total lack of "squad only" type game mechanics and the lack of the need to rely on squad mates. We're just effective running in a mindless, zombie zerg with random non squad players, as we are running with our squad. This needs to change guys! We need more squad based game mechanics that ONLY effect squad mates. We need more "hard wired" reasons to stick with our squad. We've been told since Alpha started "it will be made clear that it's very beneficial to stay with your squad". When are we going to start seeing those benefits?
according to the stream, guilds are basically a bigger warparty..that.is.it..with the exception of having a tag and a six flags banner -_- so i guess they lied about the guild barges too..since there was no word about it for post launch. you group up in the garrisons..yay a "guild" gtfo with that bs...so no guild barge invasions of other clans, nothing. -_-
Guild barges were pushed so far back they don´t exist. Nathan actually talked about that some way back. He said he didn´t want to create any assets you can´t fight on. (And guild barge invasions are way too far off to even think about that)
AFIK this command line is in gmae but it will invite a player from your current match into your squad /promote (name) will put him as squad leader...there was also a command to get rid of squad leader and to leave the squad, but I forgot them
They talked about this last livestream I believe. As far as I recall they said they were gonna increase the sizes to 20 or so.
