Maybe faster loading time when joining a game. Anyway, in pub games, most people which get auto squaded don't use more tactics as if they were alone, so no point to make grouping. We will get 1 min to group with folk if we really want to, which also show our interest to group up.

I actually think this isn't a bad idea, but I really don't know if it will change anything to loading time, I just hope. Less loading, more gameplay.

IMO Any move that reduces teamwork is bad and that's bad way . Blueberries will have no idea that squad orders exist.

Possibility of earning OB in public match just went down ... Even if you create squad no blueberry will join. They cannot even turn voice on.

I would welcome - bigger squads, default chat on, easier squading from player list or chat. From the list of things TBD they find one that no one asked for and might (let me stress - might) have a negative impact on new player experience.

Does this mean that Orbital Strikes are no longer available during pubs?

People without predefined squads will be forced into team chat instead of being quarantined to a probably-useless squad chat. It makes it more likely for guys running solo with headsets to be able to communicate with other random people with headsets. They'll be able to co-ordinate better.

where does it say this? CCP doesnt mention this anywhere i've looked. all I see is something that reinforces solo play. which is bad for Dust and especially noobs.

expect high number of ragequits and rageposts incoming.

We need seperate matchmaking in my opinion, Lone Wolf, Squad and Team. So you can team up and go up against another pre-made team or squad up and join a match full of pre-made squads.

Keeps pub stompers away from newberries and gives a more challenging batlle to more experienced players.

It's being removed so the server can sort and group players easier and form more competitive matches. I'm looking forward to more balanced battles.

Like they could earn them before?

This change just made the existing squads so much better, blueberries don't stand a chance now that they can't earn OBs without squading on their own

I've seen it. At the tail end of a game, but I've seen it.

I think this change is kind of silly. They should have just put team chat on by default and been done with it. This doesn't effect anyone that knows how to play the game, it just furthers hinders those who are still learning.
