When initialized swuad finder populates a list of all squads.
When a squad becomes unavailable it is greyed out amd cannot be select yet remains on the list. Dead swuads are not removed unless squadfindernis re initialized.
When a new squad becomes available it is added to the bottom of the list, unless name was same as a greyed squad then that grey becomes active again.
This preserves order, displays real time fresh squads and avoids the annoying selection position being reset by lost items shuffling around or being added and removed.
In this was adding a new item does not push previous items because it is not sorted alphabetically. New squads simple append to end of list.
A manual refresh buton could sort\remove grey squads when desired. |

I think it just needs a better interface. The fact that by the time you get 5-6 squads down you need to start over is annoying. Also, adding more depth to the setup of squads and the search function would be nice. Example, when you make your squad you click on the types of game modes you will be doing. If you pick FW then you get a sub menu to select the faction you will be fighting for. Then when people go to search for squads they click what they want to do and see all the available squads. If none show up they can just go and make one and voila when people want to do that game mode they see your squad.
You would think something like this would be basic in the eyes of the devs... |

The UI is not supposed to reload like it does, it is meant to remember what you have selected while updating the things around it. This defect was a late regression just before the build went to Sony but we'll get it fixed up on the next patch.
For now we're going to decrease the update interval so it's not as noticeable.
Once we have it patched it should be fairly smooth to use (our tests had hundreds of fast updating squads). |

We may add a search as well, but having specific options is heaps of UI and would never satisfy everyone. We much prefer to give everyone free form names to categorise their squads however they like.
No doubt you'll all come up with various acronyms and conventions to cover the use cases required. |
