Bojo The Mighty Bojo's School of the Trades 428	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:00:00 - [1] - Quote Anyone else getting hobos riding in your originally 2-3 man squad?
Zero Harpuia Maverick Conflict Solutions 420	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:04:00 - [2] - Quote I've seen them, and occasionally been one. The game just assigned me to a squad of.... Zions, I think, and I didn't leave after the game. Left to make a sandwich and came back to AURA whining at me to get to the burn zone. The game forcing you into a squad is a good thing, but maybe it should remember it did that and force you back OUT when the game ends.
Bojo The Mighty Bojo's School of the Trades 428	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:14:00 - [3] - Quote I think these people joined on their free will, because there's a big list of No Squads and I kicked one of them out once and they got back in.
DUST Fiend Immobile Infantry 1899	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:16:00 - [4] - Quote Lock squad. Profit?
IRuby Heart DIOS EX. 325	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:20:00 - [5] - Quote DUST Fiend wrote: Lock squad. Profit? I can't see why not but is it necessary though? A random joining your squad is obviously looking for others to play with and I can't see how they would be a hindrance unless you're planning on bringing someone else to the squad later on.
Illuminaughty-696 Omega Risk Control Services 202	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:26:00 - [6] - Quote I'm okay with it. What I don't understand is people joining my three man squad, only to not every actually come near the squad that is actively playing as a team. Why join a squad if you're not actually going to work with it? I give the so-called hobo squaddies about two to three minutes to prove their team-oriented nature, or lack thereof, then kick them out if they fail to do so. About one in five people that join randomly are actually team players that follow the squad - heck, only about one in five even have mikes on, and these are almost always the team players. Anyway, yeah, noticed it.

Agreed, if you don't want randoms, lock the squad. Otherwise I'm joining during solo play, especially if i see a squad of matching corp players with an opening. If you kick me though, I can take a hint, you're special and don't have room for riff raff such as myself and/or others. Hmph
Dr Stabwounds Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 2	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:34:00 - [8] - Quote I Hobo it if I'm just doing 1/2 quick games or don't have my mic on. Always follow the squad orders and am a Logi so I haven't been kicked out of one just yet. I think of it as back scratching situation: I'll scratch theirs and hopefully they'll have my back if I need it. When I'm leading, I hope people squad fill - 4 man squad is always preferred - even if they're stupid they can be a shield.
Kesi Raae Kaae Much Crying Old Experts 40	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:37:00 - [9] - Quote This is me, I'm a squad hobo
Free Beers Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1029	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:39:00 - [10] - Quote I am lazy and never remember to lock squads. It's always an awesome thing when in the middle of a match some 14 year kid pipes up and wants to join your corp while going 1/8. True story, no lie. Then when I politely kickedhim he sent me fan mail and asked to be trained. When you have a .23 kdr you should really go play little big planet 2

Anarchide Greedy Bastards 8	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:40:00 - [11] - Quote I confess being one of those "hobos". I jump in incomplete squad to contribute, via my War points, to the obtention of Precision Strikes. Now, tell me you don't want an average 500-800 WP Bonus?!
Grenwal Hiesenberg Shadow Company HQ 225	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:41:00 - [12] - Quote Dr. Stabwounds, allow me to give your first +1 for the meat Shields comment, even though it only works when they hang around...
Sloth9230 Reaper Galactic 244	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:45:00 - [13] - Quote Ehh, they make getting WP for OBs easier, so I don't really mind if they stick around. My squad will usually make fun of them if they don't have a mic, though I assume most mute us after a while lol.

Hadn't considered that, but I'd still prefer a hobo that runs with the squad as opposed to on their own. That green dot disregards defend orders and confuses the rest of my squaddies (to include me) as we try to form up as a squad. Still, extra war points are nice. As a three man squad we only occasionally get a precision strike and when we do end up short it's generally by only a couple hundred. Good point.
Anarchide Greedy Bastards 8	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:52:00 - [15] - Quote Haven't thought about the confusion factor... Althrough, I have to run around the Battlefield, planting Drop Uplinks and healing a max of downed Mercs. I'm also a Vehicule Hunter...
4447 ZionTCD Legacy Rising 649	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:58:00 - [16] - Quote I join squad all time, be thankful for me joining. Yoda voice, "Greatness is what i am."

If there's no squad doing what I'm doing, I'll just contribute my nanohives/team spawns/triage/guardian/revives to some random squad's WP.
Takahiro Kashuken Intara Direct Action Caldari State 102	Posted - 2013.02.25 20:07:00 - [18] - Quote Our group seems to get a few, we let em stay they dont tend to have a mic and contrbute to an OB in some way anyways

Fox Gaden DUST University Ivy League 165	Posted - 2013.02.25 20:27:00 - [21] - Quote I was a squad hobo until the introduction of GÇ£No SquadGÇ¥. Better for 8 or 9 people to use my Drop-Uplink than just 3 or 4.
Jack Sharkey42 Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 18	Posted - 2013.02.25 20:28:00 - [22] - Quote I hobo constantly, had some great matches with it too! I don't have a mic but its funny to hear groups that do when I join them. "Wait, whose Jack? How'd he get on the team? "I don't know..." few minutes later "Oh **** Jack's a Logi?! Sweet!" Better question, when someone who is mic-less joins a squad with an empty spot, do they HURT the team at all? Even if they're not very good?

Not to mention when he emailed me after asking to be trained I found he had has a ~.23 kdr with over ~500 kills and ~2100 deaths. Honestly, if you are that bad in this game no one will be able to make you better There are so many bad players in dust I have a 5+ kdr as a AR logi bro. Half of my points are in logi gear and when I run assualt suit I can barely fit a t2 with a GEK. (So If i kill you, feel bad) anyone under a 2 kdr in this game should really consider little big planet 2. I know, I know its a game and suppose to be fun but its not fun to me to play with dead weight.

On the bright side I hear PRO is recruiting everyone so all the scrubs can have a home.
Elijah Sol' Dzusaki Onward Defrosted Tuna Team 485	Posted - 2013.02.25 22:42:00 - [29] - Quote I join squads if they are corps or players that I recognize. And I will leave the squad after the match.
