Squad Leader Archive

I find it pretty funny that the DEVS still have yet to get back to us Squad Leaders. I was the first to voice concern about their lack of response to our profession...and was ostrisized for doing so...and look where we are now...still no response.

I am still keeping my SL profession...b/c I do believe that one day it will be worth it. Although I haven't worked on my SL xp too much...I've been focusing on becoming a MASTER MEDIC so as a Squad Leader I can keep my men alive longer in fights. (Pretty sad I have to rely on another profession in order to make my SL worth it)

I saw our correspondants "outcry" about this similar subject...and I hope he doesn't throw in the towel as the Commando correspondant did....damnit we're Squad Leaders!! We tough things out thick or thin.... LOL Cpt Venmox...you have my sympathies, as well as my support...keep up a good job!

The Squad Leader designer should be fired or resign. We have heard absolutely nothing from him while all the other professions with just as serious problems have gotten a letter saying "we're working on it."

Bio-engineer, Commando, etc. all go theirs, while we're left in the dark.

Sorry, old Mrs Jones had to take a trip to Tijuana to get her meds since medicare doesn't cover them. She (the SL designer) will be with us as soon as she returns to work cleaning desks and throwing away trash.

Can you believe the Bio-Engineer has a designer, the Creature Handler has a designer...but WE have no designer? Watch out for some exciting new abilities like:

/emptytrash:removes looted and harvested corpses littering the battlefield

unionwage: passive ability allows the SL to gain an additional 10% credits when a mission is completed

/break: temporarily stops all combat while the SL has a smoke and refreshes himself

Renfrowe,

Aight...it seems like you and I are seeing eye to eye now. I was premature in my original post concerning this....but low and behold it has become truth now...we are being ignored by the Devs.....

I too want to keep an optimistic outlook on this, that's why i am delaying my SL training...since my chosen profession is essentially useless....i need to train in other professions (i.e. Master Medic) in order to become an effective Squad Leader.

That in and of itself should be a red flag to the devs....that we have to train and master professions that we never intended to...JUST to give ppl a reason to form a group with us. If I didn't have the ability to heal for 548+ dmg w/ my Stim B's, then who in their right mind would want to group w/ a Novice Squad Leader whose only ability is /SYS ???? The first few times i formed up groups after becoming a novice SL...all the member in my group got a chuckle out of this:

/sys I mastered 3 skill trees, and all I got was this crappy message ability

By the way...the whole EMPTY TRASH bit...i found it hilarious! lol

Grendel-

I respectfully digress. I made my initial response to your post based on faith in the Dev Team and their claim that they would be addressing all otherprofessions within a day of addressing the 'Combat' professions. It's now been several days and they have not kept up their end of the bargain.

I'm definately starting to feel a little abandoned here, but trying to maintain optimism.
