Thread: /sysgroup command
Ok so now that I'm novice SL I had my big moment and whoop dee doo, I can meesage to the group.
I'm not bitter I love it, and I know it's a slow process, I'm just wondering what you guys from BETA learned about using the command better. Like the best macros to make it easy and fast. And if there was anyway to make some command like ctrl-R for reply, but for /sysgroup. I'm pretty sure there isn't but I thought I'd ask anyway. So if there are any little tips on how to use this first and onlyskill I've acquired as a SL that would be great. Thanks.
I use a:
/sysgroup INCOMING!
macro every time my puller is coming back with something.
And I use:
/sysgroup Move out!
every time we begin moving to a new location.
I am thinking the following would be good /sysgroup macrosfor a PvP squad:
Incoming (add direction if wish)
Form on Leader
Fall Back
Move to Waypoint Alpha (or whatever)
Prepare to BURST
BURST NOW
Assist %T (or whatever the % command is for the selected group member)
for typing quickly on the go, you don't need to type out the full command just /sys works
I find using /sys instead of /sysgroup often cuts off the first word of my message.
It didn't do that in Beta, but it does it now...
My favorite has been, /sysgroup has unlocked your Force Sensitive Slot! Congradulations!
when picking up a new group. 
Everyone almost wets their pants.
Vol, when I use /sys I can use %TT. I think it has to be first thing said tho. Like /sys %TT is the target, fire at will!
Also I have found when you start some /sys command with the letter H then it sometimes misses that word from the /sys, and finaly Starting with someones name often makes it disapear. Like Bob your up front, lets head to your waypoints, and instead it will miss the bob part out.
I like to start all my /sys messages with an 'ok' so if it does miss it out then it wont usualy be anything important.
OK, I'll try that, but its news to me... %TT never worked in Beta in /sysgroup and didn't work the last time I tried it with my new SL (albeit its been almost a week since I tried).
... stupid patchnotes not telling us whats been fixed and making me look like a fool! 
Hi all, just got to nov squad leader last night. I decided to see if I could gather some recruits at teh tusken fort and on the LONG run to the fort I decided to macro up some sql commands. I flipped to my blank#2 hotkey bar (ctrl-F2) and down the line I made these commands:
F1) /sysgroup Charge!
F2) /sys Attack: %TT
F3) /sysAssist %TT
F4) /sys Regroup at my position
F5) /sys Heal %TT
F6) /sys First Aid to %TT
F7) blank
F8)/sys Fall Back!!
the best was I would hit ctrl-F2, F2, then ctrl-F1 and within seconds most of the group's firepower would refocus to my target. those stupid tusken captains didn't know what hit em!
I didn't call for the assist one much, cause I don't know how to use it much myself.
These saved a lot of time, and I can't wait to think up more. Although since I am new to the prof and just created them I would occassionally mix them up. And also my main body shot 2 attack is on the F8 key on hotbar#1 so I sounded a couple retreats on accident by not knowing what bar I was on. Have to fine tune these.
Anybody have any others?
