Squad Leader Archive

Being an SL i think it would make things easier if Iwere able to see my groups waypoints. This would make group hunting missions sooooooooooooo much easier. This way i could lead everyone to the closest mission instead of the craziness of trying to figure out who's mission is closest. It would be as simple as adding everyones waypoint to my onscreen wpt menu that everyone already has. This may or may not have been suggested already but I think a great idea. What do ya'll think?

Already suggested, but good to know players are still thinkin how to improve our profession.

you have a point but you can also as all of your squad members to either /tell or emial you there missions waypoints and then you can make them yourself.

or an other good idea i think they should have is a SL skill that automaticaly sets an active waypoint for all gorup members. /groupwaypoint (XXXX,YYYY) or /setgroupwp (XXXX,YYYY) something like that so that the entire squad has an idea of where your going

Problem with that is most missions do not have the coords listed in teh mission details. Is there another place to find it? The only other place I thought it was is when you veiw the mission details before you actually accept it.

Just so you know, the Devs dont seem to read or care what we put in these forums.

Try posting in the SWG discussion, they might see it.

done

waypoints are not displayed in mission details since they are dynamic... they MOVE. For that same reason, I bet it would be nasty to program a group WP display for SLs... but it would indeed be nice.

If you go into the options window (Ctrl O) within the Misc tab you can select a Waypoint Monitor. This will give you the distance between where you are and the active waypoints. It is very cool.

What I do, when we do missions as a group, is ask for closest mission. Everyone says in group chat 400, 950, 1230, 587, etc... Then I say, ok 400 is closest lets all follow Team Member So and So. OTM!

It seems to work well for me.

The hardest part is when people do not speak up, which is very common with noobs. Its like they say to the computer screen, "we are500m away from my mission"instead of typing it out, and think we can hear them. At least we can quickly determine who the noobs are this way, lol.

Hope this helps...

This has already been run to the Dev's many times, and also already in the most recent correspondent report.

Yes, thats what I was referring too that we already had. The waypoint monitor is a god send. But I was suggested getting rid of the whole "My waypoint is 400" yelling and confusion of the group and adding awaypoint for each member of the group to the squad leaders waypoint monitor. know what i mean?

only mission waypoints...dont want there other waypoints...You could have over 40 wp on your screen...2 for each person in a party of 20.

/cringe

exactly, only mission waypoints please. just wishful thinking here. that would be sweet though. i'm sure there are a ton of factors that they would have to consider.

The Correspondent forums, at the moment, are filled with EXTREMELY angry posts from the BH and DE correspondents, so I'm trying to fight the fire right now. I'll let you know if "Squad Leader" appears anywhere in there.
