Not sure if this is a bug or not, but every time the squad finder refreshes (like every 3 seconds), it completely resets the list and makes me start from the top of the list. Currently the squad finder is a bit annoying to navigate because of the frequent auto refresh.
Would it be better if their was a dedicated "refresh button"? So if I press the square button, it will refresh the list on my command. |

Agreed, also there doesn't seem to be a way to filter anything. |

This is a bug.
TL;DR: We can't fix it until 1.6 next month so we are changing the refresh time from 5 seconds to 15 seconds either later today or during downtime tomorrow.

I'm guessing 30 seconds would be even better. Moving 1 squad down takes about half a second, you might not find a suitable squad in 15 seconds. |

I was just going to say. It refreshes way too fast and too often I can't get to the bottom of the list (or even after the first couple) to actually see what squads are available. I want to peruse through this to find a good squad, not rush and click randomly! |

Let's have it at 30 seconds. I'll need 30 seconds to read at least the first few lol. 5 seconds will be just like 3 seconds! |

I agree with having the refresh times longer.
If you *really* want it to refesh ASAP, just back out and launch it again.
Squads aren't going to be changing that quickly that they need to be super up to date. |

We will be monitoring the feedback, we can change it really easy every day at downtime. So please just keep posting and letting us know what you think. :)

I wasn't too impressed, I thought we would be able to say what games we were playing and perhaps any suggested roles that the squad could use. I know some have done something to the squad title to help explain but on the whole it doesn't always get the message across.
Actually in all honesty I thought we could make a profile page and squads could choose from mercs that were availiable, but oh well |

Yah, this is pretty much a PITA.
I can't scroll through the list and think about what squad I'm going to join. A manual refresh with squads deployed automatically dropping off would be better.
I think the squad finder would benefit from showing more information about the squads (battle type it will put you into, faction battle or basic pub match, perhaps the names of the players in the squad, some indication of how long it will be before the squad will be deployed, etc.). If it already does this, the rapid refresh rate stops me from looking through the squads long enough to find this information.
I likely won't use it much (if at all) while it is in its current form.

Short term fix, add manual refresh and change auto refresh time to 2 mins.
Long term fix, create diff algorithm to compare old list with new list and remove items from list instead of a complete refresh. If you would like example of doing this I am looking for a job and will come to Georgia :) |

please make that more like 30 seconds....15 is just not long enough to scroll through the list very well. |

On a related note, can we get a filter on public/corp/alliance squads? Perhaps somewhere under the "create" button. Alternatively, some indication of this setting in a list?
Use case: i've just logged in and wanna see if my allies are playing and right now to stare at a list of moderately obscene names and guess which one is probably "mine". |

lol, squad finder is a joke due to auto-refresh and resetting back to the top.
How this blatantly obvious screw-up got past QA is beyond me... unless QA for this game is simply checking the code to make sure it works or "looks right".
Any amount of actual play-testing would have reveled this issue almost immediately (well, after 5 seconds  ). |

Squad Finder needs two major things IMO:
*Filter (filter out the bullshit offensive squad names and sort for gameplay types)
*Manual refresh button (solves problem with getting pushed to the top of the list every couple seconds) |

30 seconds would be better...
I wonder what the fix is. Maybe letting us choose to search for corp, or alliance, or public, instead of having it constantly refresh? I imagine if this game gets big one day that would be better than having it update constantly. |

I haven't tried the squad finder but as soon as I heard about this issue that was my first thought. Manual refresh only. Problem solved. |
