Planet Option/Update
 

Would anyone else like to have the option to allow randoms to join your side? Like just you and your squad are able to join and not the entire public? I find it a lot easier to focus when randoms arent dpamming sound effects or asking questions in planets lol..... I just think we should have the option to exclude non-squad members or non-allies from our side whether its attacking or defending. what do you guys think?

Create separate planets. One for squad fights, one for public.

Yes this annoying when Obsidian has 5 ppl on then 12 randoms play with them just because theyre a good gang

Lol Yeah sometimes Squads dont even have members online and they are able to hold planets because some players prefer to help one squad over another.

Hm, the public enroll option is ment to try to even out squad matches. I guess if we see a problem, we could look into restricting joining of non-squad players to after the game starts or only allow them to join if there is uneven team numbers.


This is for those who like a practical situation (For those who like seeing a situation, or did not understand my first paragraph):
Lets say we have two squads (lets use my 2 squad tags)
'Majere' decides to attack spring which they have 5 squad members in the lobby and ready to join. 'Lazy Devs' (the owner of spring) has 8 squad members ready. Right now 'Lazy Devs' has the advantage due to players. Now, lets say we have 5 players who are not apart of Majere and wish to play to help out. The system could restrict it so the first 3 can play for Majere to even out the odds.

There is an argument that I can hear people telling me: "We have more people, why can't we use that to our advantage to win?" My polite answer would be "Would you like competition?" Without competition, trust me, there would be no prizes.



Now, changing the system like this has some negative effects:
-If we change the system so it only allows squad members to join, team numbers per game will be uneven which larger squads could just destroy the smaller squads.

-If we change it to my idea then there could be an attempt to try to play the system by having an influx of squad members joining just after the game starts to prevent the other team from getting those extra people. We could count this as cheating and punish the whole gang but that would be too much to handle for our GP Team when they are responding to reports and doing their regular patrol.


Anyway that is my view of this situation at this time. Feel free to leave constructive criticism about it.

Lazy Devs" Haha..... and is not possible to just make an option where the squad attacking/defending decides if they need other players to help other than their own squad? like if its 8v5 at choros and my squad has 5 players on its side then one of us taps on an added screen or something and the defending/attacking side that we are on is open to the public?


Or we could make doorways where only sqaud members can enter to join the attacking/defending side and if we want to open the door to the public we type in the password to the door and it remains open till the end of the match

What would be the point of an alliance if allies can't help :/

Chatting over GuildChat?

Allies can help but not random people wanting to get free $$ or spam sfx for 5 minutes or ask questions through the sauad chat in planets. annoying crap like that.

Better idea yet. Change the whole planet system and make it so its skill based not domination or how many noobs are on your team.
