You can invite people from the player list, which is good if you know someone on your team or are spamming invites to everyone.

For the people who frequently like to join squads in a battle, this is a terrible situation. It can put teams of random players or small squads at a severe disadvantage against teams composed of larger squads - but that's not what bothers me the most. I feel it greatly diminishes the new player experience. Team chat/the ability to squad in match happens to be one of the more prominent social aspects of the game for newer players. Local chat is a joke, and of course there are people in team chat with poor mic etiquette but it's a good tool to have.

Also, by being unable to view your squad channel you lose the ability to kick someone who may be disruptive, giving contrary commands to what squad lead intends, or to mute someone who may be having mic feedback issues.

Squad finder is too hit or miss to be the only opportunity outside of chat channels to find other people to play with. The only way I learned anything detailed about the game was by joining random squads of guys who played longer.

I'll bump this until it's fixed or I'm banned...and if that's the case I'm better off without Dust in my life.

Any plans on fixing this in warlords 1.2?


Squad finder is less useful now due to trolls entering squads and yelling/talking bullshit on comms - block doesn't keep them out. They need to be kicked constantly, or the squad locked, which defeats the purpose of having a public squad.

So when can we join random squads again and make new friends in battle? When can we mute people and swap lead in battle?
