Squad Leader Archive

currently it seems that the "race bonuses" are something the devs are starting to steer clear of. especially since they took it away, which was a good idea. i don't see them bringing in any new "race limitations"

If +10 is gonna make the difference by quite abit with only +5's every now and then. Im a Zabrak and i would have a feeliing as that i would be nothing like as good just because of the spikes on my head. Its not that ibegrudge Humans having this bonus, but i just feel it shouldn't be as significant to make any other species 2nd grade leaders.

I think thats an excellent idea as i've always wanted to see the leadership skill mod used. This would give the humans a nice little perk and certainly limit the dabblers. We need to get dev attention on this asap. It would be very rare to see 8 master sls. I still believe that one needs to lead in order to unlock the "leadership" abilities.

one least played proffesions already complaining about dabbleing, lol at that..any way concrats on your revamp hopeful it be all you hope it to be...oh yeah everyone in this game dabbles unless your triplemaster

If that's the best you have to offer after still haveing to edit your message then good luck in the future. Anyway, I've also been concerned ofhow the rippling of our revamp will effect future changes of other professions, namely ranger, smuggler, and commando. Also, selfishly I'l also miss the passive mods, especialy group terrain negotiation. I have to agree with Obsidion that at the least, place it with rangers, I actualy can't recall a time where I've had a full Ranger in my group and it would give me a reason to seek one out. Or, at the very least, putitin the master SL box.

Heheh.

Not that I blame you, being that SL does seem to be a bit of a boys' club. ;-) But anyway, thank you for the overwhelming support thus far.

I don't post very much, but I do watch quite a bit. Squad Leader was alsothe first profession I mastered, and regardless of what happens it will be in the template until the game goes under. Hence, where the majority of the experience that I reflect uponcomes from.

As for those worried about the suggestion giving an overpowering modification to humans, yes, I agree that it should be tailored so that any advantage is "noticeable" but also "negligible." Personally, I wouldn't care if they just removed the racial modifier entirely ... I just mentioned it being a racial modifier at this point to substantiate its existence.

If balanced properly in the interests of fairness, I do think that this could be a workable solution. I still can't think of any actual problems with it.

And for the one who commented on all of us "whining" about Dabblers, it's not that we are "whining" that "some people Dabble in our profession." The problem is that there are noticeable incentives to master most other combat professions. I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who is not at least the master of one elite combat profession, however the vast majority of Squad Leaders have all been dabblers. That is not to say we want to "punish" them or discourage them from focusing upon our profession -- they are still Squad Leaders in our eyes. We simply want the system changed so that Squad Leader is not comprised solely of a handful of "old, stubborn war vets" and a vast army of nothing but minute dabblers.

Hope that clarifies.
