I think VOIP is pretty important to get the l33t to mingle with newbies. In my case, I generally prefer playing with outfit members because TS makes it easy to communicate with them. If the in game VOIP works out, that would be a great help.

People mostly pick members based on what cert is needed in the group. So when you are LFS you just say MAX LFS or AMS/ENG LFS, etc. BR really doesnt matter much, just gives you more flexibility.

you are correct.

if a squad is looking for a galaxy pilot then they will get a person with a galaxy cert.

unfortunately you dont get xp for piloting a galaxy ship.

just as you dont get xp for healing others. just as you dont get xp for repairing armor.

i wanted to play engineer but i cant get squad for xp unless a squad of combat units invites me in.

I will never, ever, join a squad of people who are not in my outfit or that I do not already know in some way. Pick up groups in EQ are bad enough, I can only imagine what a pick up group in a FPS would be once the game goes live

but how do you add new people to your outfit?

i like the PS outfit/squad system.

getting into an outfit was not hard. i just broadcast "hey i want to join an outfit" and i immediatly got an invite.


i wonder if some bonus commander xp can be given to squad leaders to lead lower level members.

Nice way to make yourself look elitest when we aren't even in game there Elf.

I have no problem playing with whoever is around. I'll start off with people from my outfit, but if there aren't enough of us on at a time, we'll just grab whoever is around. If they don't want to actually be in a squad, it becomes obvious fairly quickly and they usually just leave to go do their own thing. I've met a lot of people in beta who are great guys just b/c we happened to invite a stranger into the squad.

well, the high rank player could have his head out of his ass, not be an arrogant piece of shit, and realize that battlerank has absolutely nothing to do with a players skill or ability to work in a team.

This game will not turn out like that. In time, all the retarded eq players (the l337 ones) will be gone and we can all rejoice. The beta is for anyone the pay to play will hopefully be for only the enjoyable!

I once saw some idiot /broadcasting that his squad was looking for people 18-24 (as in age). He said something like everyone under 18 was a n00b and everyone over 24 was a geek. I figured since I am in my 30's I was way to much of geek for him.

I ignored it and went on my way and then he invited me into his squad without even knowing my age. I just declined it and took the HART. Guess no one else wanted to join his band of fools.

The idiocy of people really surprises me sometimes.

What the bloody hell are you talking about? I never said anything about not grouping with people who never got in Beta. My outfit has about 100 people both in and out of Beta. You'll also note the "or in some way" part. That means by Outfit reputation, by having played with them in other games or even by talking ot them on the boards assumming they seem cool.

What I'm talking about is the "5quad going 0v3r to roxxor Cy550r, need MAX and Ga| pilots plz!" type of idiots that abound. That and arrogant pricks. FPSs attract a lot of people who have an overinflated opinion of themselves simply because they think they're good, gets annoying.

My point being there are a lot of idiots out there. FPSs attract more of them that just about any other genre does in my experience with the possible exception of Diablow. I'd rather group with people I know and not some random idiot. Now granted, not everyone I don't know is an idiot, but I prefer the people I know aren't idiots.
