Squad Leader Archive

Hey Hey all,

I'm a Squad Leader on Chilastra server and this is probably only my second time posting here. I am very impressed with the report the Catpain has made.

I had no idea that many people were asking to give SL's the ability to control other players. I think that would take away from another peson's playing experience, and no one should be given the right to control other people. Even in life commanders give orders all the time, but it is the person he is giving the orders to that should be responsible for executing them, not the commanders.

Captainspersonal comments have expressed my own personal feelings toward SL. I'm glad they put someone who cares so much for the profession that they would put together such an elaborate report and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

I wonder....

If we had the ability with lets say Volley to target a monster it highlights and all group members gain a benifit if they hit...say +10 to hit. +20 with advancement. (might even help sync a hit for armor penetration or whatever) point is it requires active players and SL participation.

We could look at ways for this to work actively rather than passive on other skills. Our Forced march might be a free No or little HAM cost for Burst Run that doesnt tire others. But drains the SL slightly. We use group buff...party members still have to burst run too.

Group Follow where the lowest modifiers effect the group as the normal. However players can override this by command line if needed. /groupfollow ignore. Keeps those medics up with the group and maintains formation

Obey your SL and receive the bonus. Dont and you are not worse off but still hurts the team.

This could make groups that train with a SL a fighting force to be reckoned with. Rewards the teamwork skills we bring and makes the group better by incentive rather than control. (Bots not needed here move along)

Oh well just my take on how our skills would be best used. I think its very bland as is. And the suggestions for a Player Handler class didnt hit the right buttons with me.
