I'm only interested in this if I can choose to turn this feature on & off.
In random squads I join I'd turn it off if people started following me around and ruining my attempts at being stealthy. Especially if they started shooting at my targets while I was sneaking up on said targets, because I'm certainly not interested in my prey turning around and vaporizing me at mid range prior to me getting close enough to strike. |

Well, thanks for trying to look out for us, bro! Not many do.... (except fellow scouts)
Saw you in-game the other day on our team - props to your sniping skills in helping hold down "E" and "A" (the bridge)! |

FFS why would you be in the ******* squad if that is a concern? Jesus kid's these days.  OP: like the idea; will not fix scouts, but it is a nice small buff.
Well there is that....
While I do lone-wolf a LOT, I'll typically join a squad when an invite is sent to me in the warbarge. In that case I really don't know what I'm gonna get in terms of team game play, consideration for my playstyle, etc.... and when things turn south, and I have a 'team' of people more interested in using me as bait or altering my tactics, that's when I'd like the option to disable the shared vision. What if I don't want to bail on the squad because maybe there are some folks I think I could make a difference with, while only 1-2 are following me around using me as a free passive scanner? What if it's a matter of just pointing out to them how we can be more effective if they cease this behavior but I just need to make it to the end of one battle prior to having this conversation? What if the rest of the team is fine if bozo the clown has said this is his last game and I just need to wait him out until he leaves the team?
You make the issue sound cut and dry and one dimensional while quite frankly I can think of many instances where this would be useful.
Maybe you need to step up your creative thinking there, gramps.
This is a buff to the team at the expense of scouts. And in this case it is only fair that those being sacrificed for the team have an option to opt out while not having to leave the squad to exercise that option. |
