Squad Leader Archive

While the Squad Leader Rage is clearly Rolling across the boards - due to the UTTERSHIET the devs have proposed as a FIX - LOL!!!

Lets take a breather to discuss something different for a change

Medics and Doctors And Entertainers get tipped because they provide a service to players - alot of medics refuse service to people who dont tip - and soon the same for Entertainers. So why dont Great Leaders get tipped?

Squad Leaders (and seeing how non SL leaders can currently lead just aswell without the skill tree and from what I can tell the future Skill changes too) Is unique in the ability you can directly judge the performance of a good squad leader - all medics and entainers heal no matter what.

GOOD squad leaders provide groups of players with a benefit - namely -Good XP, a well formed group that works effectivly and well together. If I was in a group that was so well lead and coordinated That I gained say 400k weapon xp andnot diedfrom being led by a particular leader for the night- I would tell him thanks for anwell leadgroup.

Why not bloody tip them for such a good service? certainly more handy than healing 100 battlefatigue isnt it?

Sometimes when im trying to control 19 other people it's a fair bit of work, and it leaves me wondering that it would belike/nice to be tipped by grateful players

Opinions?

I think we get enough of a tip when things work out and people listen, the hunting experiance is more enjoyable, people tend to live longer, everyone gains better Exp all around because of living longer and fighting more effeciently and want to group with me more often.

umm.... Medics and Entertainers are only tipped in Cantina/Med Center...

you dont tip someone for doing their job in a group... sorry, but your point makes no sense to me...

Actually I suggestAND I do tip medics inany hunting groups I lead - I usually say something like Tip the medicswhat you feel Ifthey have done a good job.

I generally tip about 1000 cr to the Main medics in teh groups - constantly healing people dragging incapped people away from DB mobs and what not. Ive noticed a few non tight-fisted people doing the same so im not alone in this.

And I know alot of doctors who come hunting ask for cash/putting a priceon Revivebefore reviving someone.

But are you saying that a good leader does no contribute to group and/or should not be thanked/tipped when he/she has done an outstanding job?

or we could jsut go back to posting about hownaff the new changes are

the reason they aswk for money is because their revives cost a lot to make...

our ablilties don't cost anything... I expect my rifleman to know how to do their job, I expect TKs to know how to do theirs, and I hopee that my CH knows how to control his pets... but I dont tip them... What makes us any better??? Nothing... we are not "l33t", we perform a function

I do get tipped

I tip my medics from time to time because of the high resource costs associated with crafting stims, buffs and revive packs. Not all the time, but sometimes. That's because we, as a group of five or so, are doing 16-25k missions. We all get around 3-5k per successful destroy mission. Why should they tip me when I have no resource overhead and get that much cash every five minutes or so?

I tip entertainers in cantinas but not in my camp because they are getting their own split of that reward. Why should I give em part of my split when they also have no overhead.

So, I disagree that I need a tip. Now, if someone thinks I'm great enough to deserve a tip...I won't return it. I am pretty great...but I don't seem to get any tips...I don't know what's wrong with them.

Uh oh, dragging that proposed garbage in here...maybe I'll assign squads and stance and ability to fire based on tip.

"Okay UglyWookie, for 500 credits I'll let you fire at will for 20 minutes. For an extra 200 credits I'll put you in an offensive stance instead of defensive. And for an additional 500 credits I'll periodically switch the healers over to you, to make sure you get that extra H and A heal..."
