Post Olympus Runs A New Way To Squad-up
So pretty much I was thinking we need some new way of getting oly runs together. Firstly it needs to be said that not many teams can do 'team oly runs' Only the really big ones like SP. Even EF struggles to get runs together. And secondly spamming all chat with "... looking for oly run" gets annoying after a while.
So I figured we could make some sort of system where there is a 'runs' menu option. Click it and click on the run you want to do. It will then notify you if someone is looking for your class for the run you want. And if there is enough random people of the right classes are looking for a run. It puts them together into a squad.
Its a pretty rough idea but something along those lines. Thoughts, suggestions?
Btw: If someone thinks this isnt an issue then please contact me cause I've been desperatly looking for a run.

Although my team can do our own Oly runs, I still think a recruitment channel (for both squads and teams, why not?) would be nice. GIve it a chat timer like trade chat and it would be easy to moderate as well.

This goes back to the custom channels idea for all major zones that are Joinable via a chat command, or even via a channel browser, as well as custom channels that are password-lockable.

Zephyr lost a big bunch of their players, LC too and i doubt RE and PC were ever able to do team only oly runs.

Tbh only SP, EF, Traders and DM are able to do team oly runs right now as far as i know.

Once the fix for mcers goes in I think things will get a lot better too. Mcing 4 for me is a miracle if I dont crash in oly.

No they're not. Only TBBT, Drakos, Clam, Zeno, Xii left on there? No offense to them but they cant do oly.

1. RE is able to. However I went on some of them and I wonder how that was even possible. Bank based Zerks as dps. Half the squad ran out of elect after getting Ares to 5%, and because of the overlapping aggro control issues, got Zeus to shoot an engineer when all the zerks ran out of elect after the first change.

2. Zephyr "can" but from talking to Brux and Zaehlas, theres a lot of inactives on Zephyr content to just buy their way through runs rather than get together as a team and do them. And of course they'll whine on the forum if(when) they die to Blade.

3. LC lost 30 to 40% of their team when Sharky accidentally canceled Russell's Primal Lion Heart. Russ got an "Get over it" for a response...or at least thats what he and his teammates tell me. Metalgear won an AWC bp from a non LC(as in, LC wasn't the majority) run, and sharky demanded it when he found out. MG refused and GQ88 built the ship for him. Sharky fumed and booted MG. Rest of TFC left.

LC and TFC are both fully capable of doing Oly runs, just they can't do them on an off day like Traders, DM, and SP can.(As in when most of the team has stuff in RL to do or cba to log on day)
