Idea for players stuck "in queue"
« on: December 10, 2006, 04:45:35 PM »
Though I think the idea of having players stuck "in queue" or forced to switch sides is a horrible idea in my opinion, I'll try to be constructive.  Here's my idea.  How about letting players that are stuck "in queue" have the option of being a gunner, whether field or buff.  You don't get points for being a field gunner anyway (not sure about in buffs, but I'm sure it could be coded that way).  They also shouldn't get their name in lights for landing multiple kills while in their queued player status.  In effect, it would give players that are waiting something to do, without getting credit for their kills.  They would still be contributing while not getting the perks (literal and figurative) out of it.  Maybe players in queue could control the auto-acks.  That would be fun.  Heck, I'd stay in queue just to be a town ack, waiting to blast the first set of jabos diving in on my town!  Opinions?

For the squads...

Will we know what country needs the most players?  If so, a squad can change to that country and stay together.

I commented about being married to a chess piece in another post.  Get over it.  Just go to the light......  :)

If the community had addressed this issue themselves, HiTech would have never been forced to implement this.  

So while you may think it "sucks" for you and your squadron you have no one to blame but yourself and your squadron.

grits the whole idea of the changes (no matter how missguided) is to keep the players happy and keep them here and to get new players, not to chase players away.

Well, first of all genius, I never said any of that, so don't eeeeven put any crap you spill in quotations.  I was putting forth a constructive idea, so go flame your troll crap elsewhere.
