Squad Leader Archive

Very nice post.

Breydan,

My first post on this message board was to scrap SL, lol. I didn't think it was well thought out in the least. I didn't like any of its abilities at first glance. I thought it was presumptuous to assume one class could be ordained asa leadership class. Experience has only enforced these positions.

I played EQ for close to 3 years, was a Raid Leader for about 2 of those years and a Guild Leader for 1.5 years.Wepretty much cleared most of the zones in the game we wanted to up to the PoP expansion which basically splittour guild in half. We were a 55+ Guild at the time with about 100 members and the 60+ wanted to raidPoP and the sub 60 complained because they couldn't.It was brutal for us and my workload increased significantly at the time so I could not effectively pull us past that transition.

The more fundamental concernI have for this game is if it will ever be a group friendly environment. Right now, the only reason to group IMO is if you have a healer in it. Otherwise its pretty much a waste of time. Without a healer, I get better experience soloing. With a healer, I can kill most anything in the game right now, which is pathetic. Plus some basic group commands like /assist don't even work properly. Coming from a very disciplined guild in EQ its painfull for me togroup kill anything in SWG. The group experience is clumsy, awkward and overall not well thought out. The abilities in SL are pathetic. Volleyfire and retreat? OMG someone needs to up their MMORG IQ! The content is not there either.

If they are going to fix this class they need to find a raid role forit. They need to add high end content to the game so we have something to do. They need to fix /assist and other group functions. They need to review the entire group experience andenvironmentto make itmore enticing. I would highly suggest SL mission terminals so that a Master SL has some credibility.

I would not be surprised if we are the last profession to get feedback. Our problems are fundamental to the SWG game itself.

i like the idea of squad leader as opposed to what it really is atm.

Since im a casual gamer i guess im working up squad leader for what it will be not what it is. remember in 6motnhs this game will be very different and ALOT better i think thats the squad leader im aiming at so ive no need to rush

DING DING DING DING!

Orkristyou rule. Agree 100%

They are not forgeting us, they are just busy with so mutch stuff at the same time.

They have to set up the space expansion and, at the same time,need to correct all the bugs and nerfs like the ones that SL has atm.

cya and good luck to all squad leaders

burst run is VERY effective for kiting monsters that dont have a ranged attack. to give a whole group the ability to avoid a melee target while blasting can be very useful i would think.
