Squads in HS, is it possible?

[WhiskeyTango]

Okay, before y'all are stupid an post "there are no squads in HS", that's the whole idea of this post.. I personally have a pretty good squad in HS and we do pretty well.. I want other squads to also be formed, if possible, so that we can actually have a reason for leagues and whatnot.. Now, what I'm proposing here is, I'd like brain to give us "squad" frequencies.. Something we could register here, which would bring forum usage up, and also would add to a reason to actually HAVE a league something or other.. A dueling league, a match type league, a 2v2, a 4v4, etc.. I propose these frequencies hold, maybe, 5 people max, but that are password locked.. That way only squads could join them.. We could set it up to where we register the frequency here and then pm or ?message brain the password so he could set it up.. I'm curious how many would be interested in actually doing this.. It would raise population in the zone as well as forum usage.. I think this would be beneficial to HS itself..

 

Just food for thought..

Voted other for the first option: What exactly is the "advantage" of giving squads their own frequencies in HS? I mean, they wouldn't be allowed to flag I'd imagine, nor would they be allowed to mess with existing flag games.

Either way, I do think having more active "squad action" would be beneficial for HS' population.

I think flag games based on squad frequencies would be amazing. Sure there would be a couple public frequencies people could use when they don't have their team or a team at all.

Having two or three more teams fighting for a flagroom? Awesome.

Also, a flagging league would also be equally amazing.

I like it, it would give healthier competition as opposed to an all out troll war. Would also stop hoppers as you win/lose united with your squad

Squad freqs would cause to much flanking.

 

On a private freq level, it's been tested and failed.

 

But this place needs a league.

[P Nut]

Well, obviously these bases wouldn't be suitable. They are designed with only 2 teams in mind.

we haven't had multi freq flagging in quite some time because it got to the point where it was hurting flag games

o no flanks! RQ

[Weebles Wobble]

Well do Privs on Sundays only or something, mix it up.

I was thinking the other day that if there were a regulated max number of squads at any given time. Say there are only 2 approved squads, then they could be assigned a flaggin freq that can only be accessed by squad member, that would be kind of cool. So pub can have flag games also, but squads would be able to do the same with or without pub.

 

Does that even makes sense?

Yes, then you get an overpowered squad vs a horrible squad.

[WhiskeyTango]

Kind of funny.. I never said anything about them being able to carry flags.. lol.. I was just thinking that having 5 man (max) private frequencies that only squad members could use would make center a little more interesting... I for one would agree with them being able to carry flags, but to be honest, I've had enough of the changing of the bases for the moment.. xD I think the squads would be small enough at the moment that 5 max would be a good number.. Also, just because you can't pick up a flag, doesn't mean you can't keep THEM from picking it up either as long as you're in center... lol

this will raise pop

make a bare bones sub arena with bases so squads can have matches and leagues.

This I would like to see. Make it a small step and see how pop reacts.

[vetta64]

seperating into sub arenas will have the same impact as events, People show up dont see where people are (dont know about arenas) and go away bored.

[Corey]

We had a sub arena squad flagging event around the ignescent era, the arena slowly died off, + the bug where you could crash the zone.

Even a base duel arena would be nice and would also make squads relevant again. Edited October 9, 2010 by eSpO~

I think it would be cool to have special squad freq that you could use for FLAGGING!

But yea this is a genius idea, totally for everythin

The noobs that see 48 pop in HS go in and don't see anyone but can't figure out how to use esc+a aren't going to figure out how to use ?buy either and are going to leave anyway.
