Squad Leader Archive

When I tried /volleyfire the other person in my group said he did see the red circles around the fambaa, so I believe its working as intended and all group members see the 'marked' target that the SL is attacking. I didn't see an icon for it in the groups HAM bars, but then I don't think there ever was one. I didn't get a chance to ask the other person to check combat logs as 1) there was a bug with the fambaa, it was CL 55 the baby was CL 1, the 2 of us were 80, but before we attacked the adult went down to CL 22 and the baby went UP to CL 22 ; and 2) he had to go shortly after we took care of the lair.

/rally no longer shows the word '-rally-' float over players heads, and I only saw the flag icon for it in my HAM bar. Like influenza said it lasts for thirty seconds, provides a nice boost to ranged and melee defenses according to the mouse over on the status indicator, but I think the warm-up is too long. It used to be almost instantaneous. Did not get a chance to notice what kind of a hit it places on mind or action, and there's no way to comfirm the defenses are applied to group members as it doesn't show up on char sheet.

So they finally fixed /rally and /volleyfire, after its been bugged over 3 weeks ago, and /volleyfire actually paints the target like they said it would in the profession doc.

We're not so broken now.

Yeah still pistol xp, all I was getting when I formed the group was pistol and combat xp, NOT SL xp.

rumors from the smuggler forum say that everything is pistol xp to easier respec the skillpoints.

Lets hope this is right, we might get back our SL xp after the two weeks everybody is going to mess around with their templates on live.

Doesn't increased accuracy result in higher damage to some extent?

So it seems that taking up SL isn't such a waste anymore post-CU.

Volley fire - fixed

Rally - fixed

Steady aim - fixed

Def mods - fixed

Am I wrong in this assesment? Anything else on the list that needs addressing?

Starting to warm up again to adding SL to my CM/Pistol template.

Should be pretty close. Still need hard numbers/proof that the /rally defenses do add to group members' defenses, and maybe some tweaking with /steadyaim and /volleyfire. Last I checked the +30 range/melee defenses of a master SL are not working since when someone joins my group their range/melee defenses don't go up. If we get a chance and a good group i'll try to get some numbers.

Rally and steady aim don't always stick, when they do the icons do not show up on other group member windows sometimes so its hard to tell if they are getting the bonuses. The passives seem to be working and volleyfire works nice.

I know Rally has a start-up timer, so it's possible you're moving (or the server at least thinks so) at some point during the startup. I haven't had any problems with it not sticking, but I admittedly haven't tried much.
