    Problems joining squads anyone?

    Hi all,

    Great server, love the emphasis on teamwork!

    I was just wondering if anyone has ever had a problem joining a squad.
    The other day I was invited to one and promptly selected page up to confirm the invite. I went to the squad screen to find I wasn't automatically put into the squad, so I manually tried to join and nothing would happen.

    Of course then I was warned and subsequently kicked by Punkbuster because of my failure to comply with server rules, which is cool cuz them's the rules. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, cuz now it seems like Pbuster is going midievil on my #$% kicking me all the time, even though I'm sure I'm within the rules. (Pbuster doesn't give a reason for my kick either, whereas it specified the reason the one time I violated the squad rule)

    Just curious to see if anyone else experiences this type of stuff.
    Thanks and have a good one!

    Mike

    Were you already a member of a squad? You can't accept a squad invite if you're already a member in another squad. Another possibility is that by the time you accepted the invite, somebody had already snagged your seat in the squad. I haven't really had troubles joining a squad except for these built in limitations.

    Re: Problems joining squads anyone?

    1) If you try to join a squad while in a member of another squad you will recieve a notice to leave your current squad before joining.

    2) If the squad is locked you can get in with an invite, but if the above case is true then you have to get the invite sent again before you can join.

    3) You cannot join a squad if you are dead or critically wounded.

    4) You cannot join a squad if the server automatically switches you to the other team for balance because the game counts you as a member of the opposing team and thus unable to join your current team. This is also the cause of not being able to spawn on your own titan.
    My sanity is not in question...
    It was a confirmed casualty some time ago.

    Light, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they ticked me off.
