Thread: /FORMUP ... What's the timer on this thing?
Last Friday I tried my new Squad Leader command, /formup at about 8pm ... it worked, and the HAM cost was reasonable.
I tried to do it again at 10:30pm and the system completely ignored my command.
Hence, my question, what's the timer on this command? Anything more than an hour makes it NOT worth the time investing hard earned experience points in.
To the devs:
I recommend raising the HAM cost of /formup and letting us Squad Leaders use this command whenever we need to (i.e., remove the timer)
I know Squad Leader is going to have it's turn on the drawing table eventually (just like TK artist and Commando), and I hope the devs take this under consideration. Severely limiting the few abilities we get by spending our time bettering our characters in this profession should be rethought.
I'm hopeful that they will, TK artist and Commando have been fixed to add more of an element of realism (yes, a flamethrower blast to the face should do 4000 dmg)
If anyone knows the actual current timer for /formup, please post and let me know.
Hmm.. either you had lag or something was wrong.
I use Form up all the time when troops gets Dizzy or Stun effects. I can use it all the time and have done soo as soon as anybody get this effect.
Dont know if there is any timer on it but i never had any trouble reusing the skill.
You do however need to stand up. Kneeling or Prone dont work.
