Squad message can be a useful thing if you use it. Please start using it!
Put voice info in it.
Name of voice service. Address for voice service. Password if any. and which section.
It’s real simple. 1st thing to do when you make a squad.
plus just a voice addy without the name of service is fun when you try putting discord info into ts
Otherwise every random player when they join asks “you in ts?” and the lame answer usually is “yes”. (which btw is really not that helpful, WHERE on ts?) Sometimes they don’t respond right away (cause they are busy fighting we’ll assume) and you want to get to them as fast as possible to start “the fun” and when they do respond, you can’t sit around afk in middle of map for 5mins looking for their name on ts (which btw might not even be there account name on ts, uhhg.)
But now i understand why squad message is always empty because commanders LOVE hearing people ask them a million times over if “u in ts?” Plus whenever anyone joins your squad they immediately see the message! So no need in asking.
and yes, peeps aren’t always in the BL channels. sometimes they are in their own guild channel or their own ts server. And if they’re not using their account name on ts, its awful fun finding them.
No squad message = you’re not in any voice comms, period
It’s one of those things where one has to live with the consequences of their actions, especially if they’re not in the main map channels, there also lies the possibility that they don’t want to be disturbed. But a failure of communication tends to lead to a number of unwanted consequences.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
