Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

Forcing to make squads is not best solution, I would go for encourage them more to be in team. For example like you have those droids etc. this is right approach, but if some like for example sniping he is not following orders anyway, why to kick him for it?

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

I think we'll introduce perhaps a few more squad only items that will encourage people to join up. As long as the current squads are using enough droids and using the officer class properly, the lonewolves should get ripped apart.

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

I would disagree with such a thing. I consider the squads to be a tool for ADVANCED teamwork. Thing is, you have to choose it willingly or it wont work IMO.

There are lone wolf players who, when forced to join a squad, would do it and then go off and still be lone wolves. But I think that by forcing people to squad up, you'll help them see that

I dont put much faith in squads myself... I find it natural to bunch together regardless of being in someones squad.

But the squad gives you the ability to VOIP and message to other squad members only, and lets the SL act as a spawn point. Plus that it gives you Exclusive™ Free™ Stuff that lone wolves can't have tongue !

If anything, the squad isolate me from all the other players. We're a team after all wink

That's why you have the Commander. Oh, wait, we don't sad  [ducks devs wink ].

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

Certain items only work while in squads. Like droids. That should motivate people to squad up.

Down side with the droids is they get tangled up with the enviroment and explode.

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

Well thats why they aren't called AT-R2 units tongue

Squad play is great in First Strike if you have the right kinds of players. I had my squad working great together defending Jabbas Townhouse.

We had:
Assault, for scanning
Support, for generator
Heavy Weapons, for Sheild
Officer for Eweb and Health
Medic for Health Revive.

The classes are perfectly balanced out to have the best effectiveness when you have 1 of each in a squad. They are the ultimate fighting force.
