Squad Leader Archive

you know how you can choose to watch a certain dancer, to listen to a musician, make it this way for squad leaders. an extra option on their radial menu.

you can choose to obey the squad leader or not.

this would solve some issues, like for ie:, i prefer when the squadleader forces everyone to shoot at a certain target, make it also change everyone's target windowto the directed fire as well, so i can use more specials without having to try to figure out which mob the squad leader actually made everyone attack.

this wouldn't effect the healers since they wont 'choose' to obey the squad leader.

i told this idea to a squadleader in-game, not sure if this idea was ever posted however. i think the 'option' to obey the squad leader will make things easier and leaves room for more flexibility...?>?.. anyway i'm not a squadlleader nor played one, but i know what their roles are in a group and i've grouped with some.

i just know that the problem mentioned above makes volleyfire sometimes very worthless...because when all my combat queus are gone, and i still dont have the target that i'm actually attacking, which is the squadleader's target order, i stop trying and just attack whatever the current target was, because most combat professions will use specials almost all the time and most of the time i am willing to bet they go back to their original target eventually when there are multiple mobs to target and trying to tab through them all and find the right dam mob that squadleader was directing everyone's fire at...etc etc..etc..etc.....

This idea sounds very attractive at first and I can't remember to have it heard before. I appreciate your intention to help our profession but having people to follow a squad-leaders orders blindly would certainly open the floodgates to /afk-combat (we call that "puppeteering") and I can't imagine the devs to want that...
