Title: AH Squads
Post by: BowHTR on March 10, 2014, 04:11:52 PM
What ever happened to the squad list where you could see all the squads within AH?

Could we rule out all those one man squads with those retawded arse names?

I miss that list too. I wonder why HTC decided to drop it?

If HTC allowed personal decals, many wouldnt need to "create" a squad to get one...

Just sayin... :rock

I was also wondering where that had gone too. Some of the squadron names were comical.

It was to stop other games contacting squad COs... Least, that's what I heard.

you can design squadron emblem designs that will appear on vehicles and planes when you fly and drive them--but they have to be approved by htc..just for those who didna know.
i think some of the older squads may still have them.
Title: Re: AH Squads
Post by: TequilaChaser on March 11, 2014, 08:19:55 AM
If you are aware of SS markings in game... You should report it, film it or take a screenshot of it..

HTC does not approve, nor allow such things...

Heck, I'm against your ah bbs username, for it falls under the religious category, but if HTC is going to allow it... Well, it is their sandbox you know!

I haven't seen any note that they did change it, and I was still able to create my 1-man squad last autumn. Which, if not anything else, is a necessity to avoid all the "XGYZ wants you to join their squad" popups (no, .showjoin doesn't work on those)

They must have changed it since December, because that's the last time I did it.  :)

Have to love the rumor mill around here.  "Hey guys!  Let's make up as much stuff as we can!  Why ask HTC?  It is more fun to just create as much stuff as we can! WOOT!" :)

It was a simple oversight.  Nothing nefarious about it.  I'll see what I can do to get it back up in a bit.

That is incorrect.  The Man on a Buffalo Squad happened to be one of the finest squads in all of AH at one time.  You could try against his squad, but you would lose.

the only 'error' I found so far is "XXX is not a member of a valid squad" which simply means it is a one man squad. Do you get a different error in addition to that?

That message is specific to squads who have less than two players in them.

Some squads are recent and are recruiting.

Btw, what about a specific official channel for recruiting :
players looking for a squad could tune it and ask for recruiting squads, without interfering with the main channels.

That message is specific to squads who have less than two players in them.

The error most are getting have to do with not enough players in the squad.

I'm a one man squad (The Wingmen) and I don't have two accounts.  I just let my little squad dry up until I was the last one left.

I also like not getting the join my squad messages and who knows, maybe one day I'll recruit someone again so I'd hate to see it go away.

There are different CO's for each of those squads.  The squad listing page link from the "allsquads" page is only going to show the squad for the first CO in the list.

I probably should just do a unique sort on that list to remove all the duplicates.
