Thread: Leave Squad Leader the way it is!
Squad leader is not overpowered! Leave the abilities the way they are! The only problem with this profession is that it is a noob profession. The only prereq for squad leader should be combat exp, no other skills required for squad leader. Then squad leaders don't have to waste those 73 skills points on things that don't make a whole lot of difference in combat and they can master a real support profession and get some elite combat training to make themselves worthwhile.
You could take away the Master Scout requirement for BHs and take away a lot of their skills, but I think most BHs wouldn't like that either.
Naw, if they make squad leaders really cool that would unbalance the game! I mean you would have all those people out there becoming a squad leader so they could be uber! Shoot, then they would have to fix it so your squad leader abilities would work without a group, and always on yourself. There would be mass rioting bye players on who gets to lead the group. People would be complaining because they couldn't solo master squad leaders.
What would you do with a good solid core of usefull abilities? You might get confused and not be able to type /sys commands. What would you do with all that extra time in combat if rally actually worked more than it failed? Bounty hunters might have to eyeshot you more than once to kill you, they would start screaming nerf the SL, same with riflemen! It would be much better just to leave the Squad Leaders the way they are. Shoot, people would stop being doctors and combat medics.
Take a look at some of these proposals that have been suggested. It would put a burden on the economy if Squad Leaders were given a decent weapon. Weaponsmiths would have to make them. Eco-nuts would go crazy if fortifications were allowed to be made by squad leaders, not to mention Rangers. I mean that would require killing more animals to get their hides and bones, or more mining for resources, destroying habitats. And we all know that squad leaders don't really inspire people to keep fighting, only combat medics do that, that's why they can heal mind damage.
No, no, it is far better to just leave squad leaders the way they are and make them a noob profession so that the squad leaders can actually get some other more useful professions easier. And look at all the time they would save on coding squad leader. They could do something more useful like fix the Imperial Hat, or give Jawa's fighting animations. Those are actually important to a lot of players. And there are more people who care about jawas having fighting animations that care about squad leaders having useful and unique abilities that are worth requiring an elite profession and all those skill points to get.
TK933, I think your lot is the reason I became a rebel.
Yay! I got one starred!
I think I'll call customer support and complain about how uber squad leaders are and how they should be nerfed because they are mean and hurtful and tricked me into thinking I had unlocked my Farse Senstive slot with their evil and way overpowered /sysgroup command and gave me one star on the forums.
My phone conversation with the CSR
TK933: *sniff*I, I'd like to file a complaint, I was being griefed by this squad leader I was grouped with.
CSR repeats: being griefed by player named Squad Leader. Ok, how was Squad griefing you?
TK933: *sniff* He did some kind of mind trick on me, I think he was one of them yedi's.
CSR: Sir, we don't have Yedi's in this game.
TK933: *sniff* Yes you do, I was on when the first person became a Yedi. You know had is Farce Sensitive slot opened up.
CSR: Oh, you mean Jedi.
TK933: Yeah, I think he was a Jedi, anyway I want him nerfed. Can you do that? I'm not sure how it works but somebody said you could stake him down on Dathomir in the smuggler place and a nerf herder will bring his nerfs by an they will defile the evil Yedi.
CSR: Uh, yeah. How did Squad "trick" you?
TK933: His name's not "Squad" it's Merideth, he had squad leader by his name.
CSR: Oh, ok. (sound of erasing) Merideth, PA: Squad Leader.
TK933: No, Squad Leader wasn't his PA, it was his profession. Master Squad Leader. And I want him nerfed! He hacked the system and took my FS slotaway.
CSR: Uh, yeah. You say is profession was squad leader?
TK933: Yeah, and he is a cheater and I want him banned.
CSR: (Yells in background) Hey Roy! Is there a profession called Squad Leader?
TK933...dialtone
Merideth = She; And that Yedi mind trick is called /sysgroup, my most powerful... uhm... power.
And if anyone can count the number of times the developers have said the words "squad leader" in these forums, I'll give you a melon and a crate of Yedi holocrons!
Holy Moly! I have seen it all now, the elusive Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch, an Evil Yedi, and that rarest and most elusive of all things,a FEMALE SQUAD LEADER!
Pinch me. (or just poke me in the eye like you usually do.)

If your complaining about SL being overpowered then you mustn't have been one for, one of those **edit** holo professions, but Sl is not overpowered out of PvP it sucks, in PvP it is a little more useful. The proposals that they have for SL will make it a lot better since most of the players are for them, even the Rangers are trying to push the SL fortifacations. So you actually throw out something that is worth my time to read on saying why SL is overpowered if you're one of those holo SL's then I might listen, but you will never find a reason that SL should be nerf because you've probally already dropped it looking for you next profession to unlock Jedi, NOOB!
Dear lord he was joking. Some people on this forum have no sense of humor...
