Being in the Jokers, there are always people in the squad logging in and out. I am not constantly typing .sr so I think it would be helpful If whenever a squad member logs in or out, that there is a notification in the text buffer.
Ex. "SYSTEM: Mike254 has Logged into LW Orange Arena"
I like to know when my squaddies are on. :aok

You need a smaller, more intimate squad. Hoards are too hard to keep track of, aren't they?

Maybe have a squad standing order:
"Upon logging into any arena, type 'Howdy' on squad text channel. Before leaving any arena, type 'Bye' on squad text channel."

Oh, you're right, I think I am just going to quit the squad. Thank you so much for your useful post. You seem to make these "useful posts" alot, I see them on just about every thread I read....

I like this idea, I know I play at wierd hours and would love to know when someone is in another arena when I come on.

You should be banned for saying that.

Of course, you definitely know how close and intimate we are, because you have spent so much time flying with us and on squad channel. Thank you for this amazing insight on something you don't know about.

So, when you log on, typing .sr and then maybe typing "Howdy" on squad channel is too hard? You think it would be easier and more cost-effective for HTC to write a whole new subroutine just to save you 5 seconds? Wow.
-
If you're squaddies don't care enough about flying together to let you know they've logged on with a simple "howdy all" and don't care enough to let you know they're logging with a "loggin. cya", then I would submit the comment about needing a more intimate squad is accurate. Asking HTC to code it so you or your squaddies don't have to even bother typing is just plain lazy. Next thing you know, you'll be wanting the gov't to pay for your health care!

This is not just a single squad that they are asking for ability to track. Rather multiple allied squadrons. Just to clarify. Simple squad text will not allow this. This has been asked for before, and I do support it. Unfortunately it started one of the most infamous "Mega-Squad" threads, and I certainly do not want to see it go down this road again. If I remember correctly HTC ruled on this one, and it is not going to happen.
-
In VF-6 we all shoot a <<S>> when we log in, both as a sign of respect, and so everyone knows your on.
I like the idea though. :aok
<S>

If you take another look at the OP's original post, it can only be interpretted as applying to a single squad. Having said that, it would be of little help to the "multiple allied squadrons" (<-- is that the PC term for mega-squads these days? :lol)

Try getting 30+ people to do that everytime they log on. What if they get discoed? Will they have time to say "c ya" then? I know nothing about subroutines or whatever, but we have notifications when skins arrive so I would think it would be similar. I don't really see why you are against it.

We fly together alot, don't make accusations. I didnt wish for this so that we didn't have to type to each other, it would be exactly the opposite. I know if i saw someone in my squad has logged on then I am going to say hello. I'm sure that goes for just about everyone.
If anyone has any real reason why we shouldn't have it besides "it will make you lazy" or whatever it is you are trying to get at, then let me know because I haven't seen one.
Edited for spelling

you mean jokers don't say "hi" or something when they come in? And leave when your talking or flying with them? :confused:
If so you should put this on your squad's wishlist, and if not I don't see a problem.
-
Ok let me clarify this. It has NOTHING to do with the jokers. It is simply a wish to see when your squad members log on. I dont care what squad you are in, not everyone is going to say hello, or bye when they log in or out 100% of the time. Once again I did not recieve a real reason against this wish. I would like to see what sort of problem this could cause, because I dont see any.

ever been in the o'club, remember how that text buffer gets filled up with people loging in and out messages, you really want to see that in MA? Perhaps there should be an option to enable it or disable it, or enable it and disable it only for your squad.

I certainly was hoping to clarify(as I felt I knew what the OP was asking for), and avoid any additional strife to what once was a hot button issue hammer. PC term? Never thought of that way... :lol In the end you are correct. Most every Pig says hello/goodbye in their own way when entering/leaving vox channel. So it is fairly easy at least to see who is on in a given arena.

The Lobby ( I think that's what you were reffering to with O'club) is used by just about everyone in the game, so it will be cluttered with messages of people logging in and out, ESPECIALLY when orange is ful by 1-5 people and everyone is logging in or out trying to get in. So using the lobby as an example of how this would clutter text is not a valid argument at all. How much text clutter do you think can come from 30 people? Its not like they log in or out every 5 minutes. Once you are in, you will most likely be there for a while.

Woops, I meant to comment on that in my last post. Ya, I always like having the option to enable notifications and such, good Idea.

Isn't everybody on the same channel.. just look at the radio channel roster periodically.

Most (if not all) guys in our squad give a "Hi guys" or a <S> on squad channel. I dont see the need to code something like that,when a little common courtesy will suffice. They are your online buddies after all.

Different arena?
I see some people saying no, but I don't see anyone saying how it could hurt the game. If it would be convinient for some people, and it wouldn't hurt the game at all, especially if it was an option, why would you say no? Just because you wouldn't use it? Your not the only one playing the game.
-
Oh I'd use it. But its sure funto add to idea

It's not so much a "No" as it is a "Limited resources could be better used...."
All things being the same, go for it.
