Hi all,
I know from looking at the local chat from time to time that there are people looking for squads all the time if they are not in corps already (like me so its not much of a issue)
so because not many people look at local and because we probably dont share the same one, I have created an ingame channel for people to find and form squads.

Thanks - and there should be an mechanic in game to join a random squad. For example, you hit a button and it pairs you with others who also hit that button. What do you all think? |

Squads should have the option to be opened publicly so people can randomly join them or be filled at the beginning of each match if there is extra room. |

If a squad is not locked and has open slots you can do this already. |

I've left squads unlocked and joined matches. The server just adds the 2 or 3 of us in our own squad and it stays that way. No one fills the empty slots. |

Good idea, jenza. I'll try it. I've never been in a squad.

Great idea for the channel. Everyone looking to work as a squad should also have voice comes turned on as well. Even if you don't have a mic to talk you can listen to what your squad members are saying. +1 |

Only need UVT to use voice outside of squads and battles. You should be able to use text chat no problem in the channel. Once your in a squad the voice should work even without the UVT outside of battle. |

You should be able to go down to the plus sign under squad team and local and select it to create or join a channel

[/quote] on the far left with all the tabs for local, squad notifications ext, there should be a little "+" box
if you select it, it changes to "CREATE/JOIN" simply put LFSquad in there |

That's already there, it's called doing Instant Battle without a squad. *poof* You're placed in a squad. |

+1 Thanks so much for this, it seems when corporate battles aren't being waged, teamwork goes out the window. Hopefully I'll be able to join with a few of you and practice dropping you off over objectives. |

Nice. I will have to join and get some squad-action. Very much noob here, but I'm having lots of fun. Still unsure about the benefits being in squad, though. And it seems I haven't gotten my voice-comms working as of yet. Do I have to have earphones with mic, or can I hear the comms over my normal audio, ie. tv?
Sorry for the questions, but if somebody could help me i'd be very grateful! |

Lorttomaaria-u don't need phones with mic. Most mics come in the form of a Bluetooth headset which has one speaker so u can hear the voice chat over the Bluetooth and then game sounds and music from TV. However if u want voices in headphones then the easiest solution is to buy a pair of headphones with built in mic (I hear the turtlebeach ones r good just be careful though one is surroundsound and I don't know if it works in surround with dust). Or if u r good at Jerry rigging things like me find a way to turn ur Bluetooth into lapel mic (I used a big paper clip) and look in ur ps3 settings to set voice chat output to ur audio output rather than the Bluetooth. |

Thanks, I think I got it. So, headset it is then. (No way I'm rigging anything, ha!) |

First grats for opening the subject and creating the chat channel which is helpful.
Second, better yet, let's make a suggestion to CCP
[SUGGESTION]: Give players a status indicator that they are looking for squad, a green light they can turn on, and other people may search for people looking for sq at the very moment.
Please note that is different from chat channel, as people are likely not to leave that channel every time they either get into the game or go afk. Sure, posting 'x up for sq' works but why not make something functional?? |
