Hi! I'm new and I have a question!

Post by ekimotan »

Hello guys! I'm Ekim Otan Karaoğlu. In game you'll find me as MikeNato. It's the reverse of my real name. So you'll probably ask me "Mike do you have a mic?" and yes I do have one :razz: And I'm loving the game. I have just one problem.

I convinced some friends to come and play with me. I play o n the eu servers. My question is this: Is there a way to form a squad beforehand or at least join the same team with my friends? Because sometimes auto balance puts us on different teams. I tried to find my friend through PRSpy but it couldn't find him. So please help this noob brother ;-) Thanks in advance! See you in game!

Tl;dr: I need a way to play with friends in the same squad.

There is no party system available in PR I'm afraid. Although if the server balance allows for it just asking server admins to switch you to your friends usually works. (use !report message in chat to notify the admins of your request)

Hm you probably know this already, but just in case: if the players-per-team ratio allows it you can switch to other team manually by clicking on their flag/name in the class-selection screen that you open by pressing Enter key (like in Bf2) but you can only do it once. (:

You can ask an admin to switch you too. But it depends on the admins and player per team. They probably won't switch you if it's like (53 v 47) Unless you are on the 53 player side....

Also, you can search for the player name in PRSpy, :) . however, I've had problems finding friends as it doesn't liste every single player in the server on PrSpy...

Gametracker has a reliable find friends service but you need a profile to do it, I have one and it is no problem or spam.

If you are close with your friends and play with each other regularly enough, consider putting on a clan tag prefix. On many servers, admins will try to allow people in the same clan to be on the same team, and most server's team scramble functions will ensure that people with the same clan tag remain on the same team. Down the road, if you are on good terms with the server, you can ask an admin if the server has clan privileges that prevents players with a particular tag from being autobalanced, or allows them to switch teams freely.

Althought PR managed to increase the player count to 100, only 64 are still reported thru the web query, this means PRSpy, Gametracker or any other website will only show the top 64 players of a given server.

Dont question the wikipedia! Just because it reports different things on different languages does not make it unreliable source!
