Squad Leader Archive

I remember in Beta there were commands that a group leader or squad leader could toggle on and off that would give the group alerts like when a player is incapped/dies or who looted and what they got!

Are they still in the game? and if so do they work?

Thx for any help ahead of time.

do these commands still exist?

yes and no. The commands you are refering to are group leader commands. However, they have been disabled for quite a time now because they didn't work always. Unfortunately, it is still disabled and no word on when they will be in again.

I recommend to use the "contact us" button and send them feedback about putting this commands back into the game.

YES YES, I would also like to see these commands - especially the /group menu command actually work for a change. It would be nice to MANY professions from Squad Leader to Entertainers to Imp/Reb group leaders etc etc etc...

These should really be put back in. I no longer hunt anything that drops any good loot unless i am with very good friends that I can trust. Too many Ninja looters to pickup any people you dont know, which IMHO really hurts the game if SOE wants us to use groups.

This definitely has to hurt squad leaders ( I am not one) because im sure there are other people wary of joining a strange group.

Maybe your correspondent could add this to your list of issues

I hate to keep pushing this!!!!!!

But don't you get your exp from large groups?

Myself and alot of my friends have stopped joining groups because of thelooting problem.

I am a good group member as I am a Doc/Carbineer.. almost a master of both.

I don't understand why this is not in your list of fixes!

I would join any group if this was working/enabled, which would only help the SLs

This is a general issue that a lot of people have issues with. Its an issue of mine as well. Its just not a top five issue. And I will not issue an apology for making an issue of this issue.

As I said, if you want those commands put back into game, go make it public here on the boards, contact Thunderheart or the devs via "contact us" and send in your feedback or simply tell the squad leader correspondent and ask him to put it on the list (it is not just an SL thing since everybody was able to use those commands but somoneone has to put it on a list ).

About the looting, if you refer to harvesting that should not be a problem (used to be a big one in beta) since everyone can harvest if grouped. About looting... you only get to know if someone else looted if he looted some credits that are shared (that is actually one of the very few functions left of group commands that are still in game).
