Squad Leader Archive

I would like to see /sysgroup replaced with paint target. maybe then we could be more effective leaders with those who want to do their own thing while in group by taking on somehting the group as a whole should be fighting not soloing. when battles would start before i could finish typeing /sysgroup target the medic first... someone had said your just a bad leader... no more like a slow typer.

I like the groupmask scent I remember seeing groups of 20 strung out over 100 or more meters.too many of our skills are Broke or just plain of so little notice that it makes no difference in combat. when rallyis bugged you could have to wear off and the battle be over and get the system message, you can not havest in this state. happens to me.

An unlucky streak also means you could easily have rally fail 5 consecutive times before it actually works. who wants to wait around for it to work as you get your mind back even on moun Gold it is annoying to say the least.

I dumped all but mobility one last night and placed skill points into novice pistoleer. I ran with thesame group Ihave been for the past week. what did I notice? my missions had a higher difficulty rating but still a breeze, we killed quicker becuase of the pistoleer bonuses I had now, there was only down time needed for the occassional med after battle, so no waiting for rally, and no one missed the effects of rally or setady aim.

sure I think I took a bit more damage but I am a novice med now so it did not matter as much as before. where am I getting with this..

1 Rally fails too often and makes little or not difference as to be any use

2 /sysgroup is often not noticed or ignored since it is the same color as the regular system message as to be lost in combat.

3 steady aim seems tohave no bearing on combat what so ever other thent omake you cycle thruogh and thus not fire doing less damage making less XP.

4 novice Sqaud leader grants no noticeable difference to groups other then being a TAG for those that like titles, espcially if your a slow typer.( note being Novice makes the title just sound worse. like Novice medic novice entertainer, novice marksmen change the advanced profession to at least not have the novice once you pass the first branch box or something)

5. sicne i got beyond frustered I did not get much higher then 1-2-0-1 so I will say this. the profession is jsut broke and needs to be fixed.
