Aeon Amadi A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. 3113	Posted - 2013.09.26 18:16:00 - [31] - Quote Wonder what that big word "Mercenaries" in the background of the third picture correlates to.
G Torq ALTA B2O 236	Posted - 2013.09.26 18:19:00 - [32] - Quote Foxy and Nullar, can you clarify the life-cycle of a Squad? When I create a squad, how long will it live? Can i still hand off the squad to someone else? Can I log off, without impacting it? Will it exist after everybody has left it (eg. until the owner re-enters)? Can others create squads with the exact same name and scope?

I too want to try out the new tutorials.

Beren Hurin Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 1717	Posted - 2013.09.26 18:25:00 - [34] - Quote If I'm already in a squad, can I open the squad finder and join a new/ different squad?
Knight Soiaire Better Hide R Die 2459	Posted - 2013.09.26 18:30:00 - [35] - Quote 'PROTOSTOMP / 24HR / +15MIL SP REQUIRED' I can see it now!
Vespasian Andendare Subsonic Synthesis Alpha Wolf Pack 486	Posted - 2013.09.26 18:33:00 - [36] - Quote I think this is going to be great to get a random squad when you want. However, if squad leaders are looking to get a squad together that has a high chance of success, so I might be looking for specific roles (for example, I play logi, but I may want 2x heavies and 3x assaults, all 5 mil+ sp. How do I know they perform those roles? How can I verify their sp?); being in a random squad doesn't necessarily mean you're bad. I get that. I'm just saying that sometimes good players have times when only a few corp members are online or are already squadded with people from various chat channels, and it'd be convenient to get a group together to succeed. The way it looks now, though, is that squadding will be done with whoever clicks join, regardless of the name of the squad.

Ydubbs81 RND Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 1954	Posted - 2013.09.26 18:51:00 - [38] - Quote This is cool...but being able to simply join a corp member's battle will be better. That way, if there game has any open spots, you don't have to wait until their game is over in order to join.

Iskandar Zul Karnain Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 1771	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:08:00 - [40] - Quote Great, I think this is going to improve NPE significantly. I'm sure there are lots of bittervets who will put this to good use as well (I know I will). Also, I can't wait to stare at my merc's ... face.

R F Gyro Clones 4u 550	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:12:00 - [41] - Quote Very cool. Don't think I'll be using it myself as squadding up is very easy in my corp, but I can see how this will be a significant improvement to the new player experience (which in turn should help new player retention, which will help increase player numbers, which will create more content for me).

Agreed, though I also like the fact that if I don't see someone log in, by having a squad up, they can join on their own without me having to invite them - or if I want a squad I won't have to wait to be noticed.
Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 604	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:23:00 - [43] - Quote 1.5 is looking better with each dev blog The game seems to be improving for sure, I just hope Dust makes it onto PS4 before the end of 2014.
Master Jaraiya Ultramarine Corp 934	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:28:00 - [44] - Quote Quote: we're excited to see more mercenaries squadding up, learning from each other, and experiencing the game as it was intended to be played. This! Well rounded squads made up of diverse Races and roles to maximize effectiveness. I'm so tired of zerging FOTM proto squads. While it has gotten better in 1.4, the game could use some improvement in this area. This, of course, lies solely with us, the player base! So, c'mon fellow Mercs. This game is what we make it. CCP simply gives us the tools. It is up to us to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. TL;DR Get a sense of responsibility toward the game you love to play!
Kevall Longstride DUST University Ivy League 540	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:30:00 - [45] - Quote This is a great move towards making this game more new player friendly. We need a continuous new supply of fresh blood coming into the game. I'm now looking forward to seeing more of the updated NPE. 1.5 is looking more and more like a turning point for building the momentum of the game.
Skihids Bullet Cluster 2176	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:34:00 - [46] - Quote It would be very useful if people could join any time the squad isn't already deployed in battle. Right now a corp squad has to keep checking back in corp chat to see if anyone recently connected who might be lfs. Being able to queue up for a particular squad the moment they exit battle would be really nice. Even better would be a squad status indicating the match type and remaining timer if they are currently deployed so we have an idea of how long a wait we might have.

On the other hand, if you have a squad with a sort of uniformity to it, you can be pretty deadly as well. i've seen what appears to be, all laser/scrambler squads, and they seem pretty deadly. Something like Heavy/Logi squads, or LAZOR LUV Squad, or Stealth Squads, could make for some interesting new fun. Typically when I've squadded with my corp, it is just a 'bring your best' kind of squad. We haven't made squads based on much.
N1GHTMAR3S of Terror TRE GAFFEL 0	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:54:00 - [48] - Quote BPO_ISK_Farming_Squad Anyone up for some cheap mayhem?
Canari Elphus Pro Hic Immortalis 484	Posted - 2013.09.26 19:55:00 - [49] - Quote This is actually much better than what I expected it to be. - Ability for corporations to recruit outside of the forums and much easier for new players to find ones to get into instead of just randomly applying - Allows people within corps to find the appropriate squad for them if those that create the squads tag them appropriately (ie Ambush Squad) Im sure that there are many other good points but those two were just top of mind.

Aero Yassavi PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 2257	Posted - 2013.09.26 20:07:00 - [51] - Quote This is better than expected, very pleased. One thing I would like to suggest as far as the future of squads is a way for squad leaders on the same team to communicate without switching to team chat and a way to communicate with EVE players connected to the district. Off the top of my head, would it not work to simply use the P2T button as a sort of toggle between channels? Default you are in squad chat, push once you are in squad lead talk/EVE talk. Push again you are back in squad chat.
fawkuima juggalo Pawns and Kings The Superpowers 41	Posted - 2013.09.26 20:09:00 - [52] - Quote this is tight but i still like the battle room

Just because you don't like it makes it useless. I foresee a lot of people getting a lot of use from this.

I actually like it.
howard sanchez Sanchez Cartage llc 774	Posted - 2013.09.26 20:29:00 - [55] - Quote Contacts make this an option in the same category as Public, Private Corp, Alliance. That way I can build a network of mercenaries I enjoy working with or have had business with in the past. It's all about business!
True Adamance PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 2304	Posted - 2013.09.26 20:36:00 - [56] - Quote Kind of cool but what about content features?
steadyhand amarr Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1403	Posted - 2013.09.26 21:09:00 - [57] - Quote your logic for not putting filters in is very poor fox bit disappointed here
Draco Cerberus Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 333	Posted - 2013.09.26 21:19:00 - [58] - Quote Looks great, like forming a fleet in Eve. Now as for the "future of squads", telling us stuff like this is bound to cause QQ when it doesn't happen in the near future or even this year or next....thank you for the SOON TM.
DJINN leukoplast Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 1336	Posted - 2013.09.26 21:54:00 - [59] - Quote Yay! More chances to get squad stomped while playing solo. We get it CCP, squads and working with squads = iWin button. But how about you give those of us who either prefer to play solo, or want to every now and then, something balanced and fun to play in? Took a week break from Dust and decided to jump back in last night. One unbalanced match after another, squads viciously stomping teams with no organized squads. I had maybe 2 matches that were fun, the rest were torcher and frustration as the majority of matches were against proto squads from a decent corp who all rolled as one big blob slaughtering anything in their path. There is plenty of opportunity to play as organized squads in this game, so how about one ambush mode with no squads? It's ridiculous that the requirement for enjoying this game is to squad up. Might as well call the game Squad 514.
