Title: Squads in login
Post by: Waffle on October 23, 2006, 04:24:06 PM
Squad function seems like most of the "hub-bub" on the BBS. Could it  be resolved by allowing squad memebers to join arenas that squadmembers are in..

is there a way to add squad memebership as a check in the login-process?
Where squad members who try to login to an arena where their squad is flying would get a priority in  que or something? Or if the squad leader is in an arena, the rest of the squad when logging in, would be sent to the arena the squad leader is in....force em to fly with their squad....

or give a checkbox option, to log in as a non squad member if they wanted to fly without their squad? But then scores dont get added to the squad score.


2 cents...

Oh great, so we go from mega-squads to tera-squads to google-squads. All so they can log on to the same arena and dominate.

Why not have arena nights. where you squad agrees to fly in a particulier arena.  If tat one is full send a text out to move to another. And WOW maybe split up to balance the sides if your unbalancing said arena.

Squads are 32 people....

People want to fly with their squadmates....

Squadmates cant get into the same arena together...

how do you fix it?

and belive it or not, groups of people (squads in AH) or clans or whatever you want to call them, are also a factor in the "lifespan" of a subscriber... Once people become friends with other people online, and there's a relationship built, players find it harder to leave. Some players maintain a subscription, even though they may only be online less than 5-10 hours a month.
