Squad Leader Archive

Since we have to stand still and wait for the warm up, it'd be nice to at least see an animation. Some sort of hand signal. All modern militaries use different ones.

Or am I just too in love with /chargeshot

I think you're just to in love with /chargeshot. hehe But then again, so am I.

It is a bit of a pain to have to stand still, but for me it does make sense, with steady aim, you're not able to aim steadily while running around like a chicken with you head cut off. To a certain extent same as Volley Fire. As for Rally, I think it's a bit weird. I sometimes see it as a sort of /chargeshot -- Yelling and screaming running towards the target(s).

I couldn't agree more with you on this. The combat upgrade saw to pretty particle effects and animations for just about every other ability, but our abiltites have no such effects! I'd like to see the Squad Leader raise his hand in the air and twirl his finger in the air for rally, or maybe the SL to do some sort of cool pointing action towards the target to actually look as if he's showing his squad what to shoot. In the military there are plenty of hand motions SLs use in real life that I would like to see in the game. Heh, I'm just afraid of all the topics posted on this board this would be the one the devs actually take into consideration.

should be easy enough:

/pointat;

/volleyfire;

and

/wave; (or whatever)

/rally;

There's a warmup for Volleyfire? Guess something on my end or something must be really broken. I've never seen the warmup no matter if I'm running around like that proverbial chicken mentioned above or even if I've been standing still for ages, but then again Volleyfire just doesn't seem to plain old work anyways as there isn't a volley of fire at what I'm using Volleyfire on. Not even in the combat logs.

No warmup on volley fire, don't worry.

Regarding warmups.

I would want hat I couldnt move during a Warmup so if I decided to do a special with warmup I have to stick to that decision.

With the lag, I sometimes stop hit rally and the rally still breaks because somehow the lag made it that I moved during the rally warmup.
I know that this might be unbalanced for some professions, but I know the risk of doing a rally and when I want to rally I realy want to rally, even if I get in danger.

The best weapon of a SL is his group and since /sys does work when Im dead (okay im cheating here ) as long as I die on the battlefield I still can coordinate my group (and blame my doc after that , but heck he has to resz me anyway ).
