Feeling the urge to play Squad, start TS but no one's there. Oh well, maybe they're just not on TS, You hop on Squad. Opening the server tab, where's the TG server? Scroll down, down, down, and down... There it is! 0/78(+2).
We've probably all been there, and when finding an empty server, one usually boots up another game.
Seeding is usually pretty boring and can drag along for quite a while before you get any traction. What I suspect is that there are several people at a given time that want to play Squad, but seeding feels like a complete waste of time if you have to do it from scratch. Just 3-6 people is often enough to get the ball rolling, and when you get to 20, people start surging into the server. With 3 people per team you can start fobbing and fight over who can build the neatest castle.
The problem is that they don't know about eachother, they log on, look at the server and think "meh" and move along.
Is there a potential solution to this?
Discord:
You can shout out that you are in the mood, but messages get lost quickly. Maybe a "#Squad Seeding" channel where you announce your interest?
Teamspeak:
You can idle in the Squad TS channel while playing some other game, to mark your interest.
Forum:
Similar to Discord but in the form of a thread which you respond to.
Thought and ideas?
