Squad Leader Archive

CaptainVemnox/Devs help SL in 15 minutes.

#1) Rally and Forum up Lockouts off EVERYTHING.
#2) Forum up removes Intimidated and Blinded.
#3) All powers: Rally, Volley Fire, Aim to 100%
#4) Boost Morale averages damage not wounds.
#5) Group Mask Scent gives all players Mask Scent (All SL’s are Scouts).

These are EASY changes. It can’t take 10 lines of code to do these changes. SL will STILL be very weak and not very useful. But they are QUICK changes.

Basically when making a hunting party people should want:
A Squad Leader,
A Combat Medic,
A Doctor/Surgeon.

Right now when the medic goes home, everyone goes home. The squad leade goes home, everyone is happy, they can harvest now.

A LITTLE harder is:

Tactical Knowledge: All exp earned gets a 2% bonus to each player for every group memeber.
Fog of War: Creeps choose new target for every hit, to round robin damage.
Instil Courage: Removes from SL mind pool and refills targets mind pool.
Hardened positions: Players prone or kneeling for 10 seconds shoot double speed.
Cease Fire: All players peace.
Store Arms: All players de-equip weapons, then can burst run forever.
Medical Resolve: Medics heal 2X in camps with a SL around.

The Captain has done all he can do to help this profession. The burden of the success or failure of this profession lies squarely on the shoulders of the developers.

I'mnot a team lead, you have to understand. I do not prance around and test things on Test Center and such. I'm nothing more than a verbal link between you and the developers (where they are I don't know) themselves. Please understand there is nothing I can do and everything that is wrong with the class and the class needs I am more than well aware of.

Everyone seems to blame Captain Vemnox for the lack of SL updates, and I suspect this is exactly what the dev's wanted. Now, instead of users holding the devs responsible for their total lack of update to the class, the users take it out on their correspondent.

I disagree that Squad Leaders should be able to MaskScent for the group - it is my personal opinion that Rangers should have that role. I am both a Squad Leader and a Ranger and both professions need work. However the Ranger has nothing except some broken camps at this point to add to the group - group maskscent would make them invaluable in groups as Squad Leaders should be to every group. I would love to see BOTH of my professions fixed to become viable, valuable members of a group hunt/raid.

I'm not blaming Captain Vemnox, just posting quick suggestions. The Cap has more patience than I would in his place. Obviously only the Devs/SOE can do anything, just showing that there are simple things that could make a differance.
