Thread: rally is still broke after 10/14 hotfix
You're kidding....that bites. Did any other changes to SL occur? I'm at work and they frown on me logging on...go figure.

When I picked up this proffession it was purely for /sysgroup. I'm not -trying- to get xp, I just happen to begaining xp while I work on my proffessions that actually work. I suggest doing the same, they will get around to fixing us (probably in 2005) but right now there is no reason to actually go out of your way to work on Squad leader.
I actually expect things to get worse before they get better. I also expect to see alot of people drop SL in the next few months. If I run out of skill points before they start fixing things, the first trees to go will be my SL trees.
No kidding...we need all around +5% bonus to all xp earned...and innate bonus to accuracy or damage and increased mission payouts to SLs only (dependant on the strength of the group)...good idea whoever came up with that....and make it cheaper for us to advance in faction rank. We are leading mini-armies we should have some equivilent ranks...

ok, in the announcement forum there is a post about an oct 13 patch and in there its indicated that the squad leader commands were expected to be fixed today. however todays patch notes dont mention anything about squad leader. so the good news is that help is on the way, bad news is its not fixed yet.
Yeah these bugs blow... but a little off subject is the dumb idea of not letting the SL have his own bonuses even while he isn't grouped... I like to PvP a lot on my own camping around anchorhead but I can't even use my own mobility bonuses or defenses and whatnot simply because I don't have a partner... so lame
Going to have to argue against the soloing keeping SL bonuses. I solo a ton myself but I think retaining bonuses solo is just an excuse for more combat skills at this point...like another ranged support marksman tree.

Borion, the xp problem is usually related to hitting your limit on combat xp, and if you can't get combat xp you can't get squad leader xp. The easiestwork-around is if you have an elitecombat profession, just spend the combat xp (it's the far right tree for Pistoleer and Carbineer, not sure about the others). You can forget a block if you need to and re-train it. If you don't need the combat xp for anything else, you might as well keep doing this until you run out.
Hopefully they'll have a real fixfor this by the time you hit your limit again.
