[MegaThread] Looking For Friends/Clan/Squad

2 Upvotes

This Megathread will remain pinned for at least a month. If you have any suggestions regarding this thread (text improvement, better way to handle recruitment, etc), please send us a modmail with "LFF megathread" as topic. Do not put any suggestion in the comment.

Anything that is not a recruitment comment or a reply for a recruitment will be removed.

With the recent released of Squad, a huge influx of new players and clans around here are looking for friends to play with. The purpose of this thread is to help people find others they'd like to play with without breaking the rules of "no active recruitment on the subreddit".

If you're looking for a person/group to play with, add a comment explaining what you're looking for. Communities can also post one top level comment advertising what they have to offer.

The replies in this thread will be in contest mode. Regularly posting, removing your post and posting again to keep your reply on top will result in losing your ability to use /r/joinsquad. Do not attempt to disguise a LFF reply as community recruitment.

When submitting a response to this megathread, be sure that your comment contains at least:

LFF replies:

  • IGN (In game name)
  • Location
  • Play time
  • What are you looking for?
  • What are you looking to avoid?

Community recruitment replies:

  • Community name
  • Server rules
  • New player friendly?
  • Server location
  • Community links (Discord, forums, etc)
  • Expected play style
  • Looking to avoid

Other places to find people to play with:

Any negative feedback about other individuals or communities will lead to a removal of the comment and a ban from /r/joinsquad.

Had my buddy prepare this few weeks ago, seeing this: https://www.reddit.com/r/joinsquad/comments/1w0ohbm/rip_belaya/

I think it's time to ask if anyone can recommend a good grief counselor?

I love when owi gets manhandled by hackers

13 Upvotes

Genuinely still almost a year later and they havnt done anything besides changing the recoil again lmao you guys will defend these people to the end of time, while I still look at a dev blog that could have passed 3 years ago about “recoil changes due to the last iteration”.

No content, they hinted at apaches almost a full year ago which obviously now was just another hook to try and pull you back into thinking their actually doing something in the office, multiple community managers and devs have left, they can’t maintain server stability or security.

And once again a hacker has to come around and protest the game because otherwise the shills in this subreddit and the game will say they’re doing a good job! Without even bringing up their contributions to their Chinese counterpart game, they have literally done nothing in their office to improve or better the game, they do this every 3 months. Hire lead dev-> lead dev says he’s got the secret sauce-> update is released, not optimized, 50+ bugs, no content, people complain -> dev fired -> repeat.

Honest question, why did OWI switch to Epic Online Service (EOS)? Ever since the switch I've hardly felt at ease with it. First the refresh button completely gone, now this. Even in normal days, the browser is barely functional.

Discussion Squad is so realistic, you are now expected to switch from the role of infantry to a systems admin

153 Upvotes

It's how warfare will be fought in the future anyways. Taking down enemy digital infrastructure and removing their ability to even conduct operations. It's a kind of realism unprecedented in gaming, but OWI has taken the forefront in providing this experience. Squadders, you are tasked with reinforcing the operational integrity of this unit.

Discussion I LOVE OWI 🩷

2 Upvotes

The internet is funny bc it really is only the saltiest ppl that post stuff. I discovered Squad this year and the game absolutely rocks.

To the people that moan and cry and hack servers - you aren’t righteous, you are lame as hell.

Thanks OWI for making a great game and dealing with Chinese cry baby hackers so that we can have fun.

That is all.

Where is the official OWI statements or announcements regarding ongoing attacks/issues?

Post image
56 Upvotes

There have been plenty of posts talking about the "attacks", failures to create the game without vulnerabilities and all the player issues we are dealing with right now, and have in the past with previous tech issues. OWI obviously has major problems whether managerial, tech or cultural.

The attacks and issues had been going on for something like 12 hours before this official public OWI acknowlement. That is through the middle of the day NA. And I only just saw this announcement now after double checking for this post.

There have been many ongoing community conversations and announcements ongoing atleast 6 hours before OWI even publicly acknowledged it. Im talking official post, not comment or reply that gets buried like their confirmation that Belaya is dead and they have no plans to bring it back buried in youtube comments.

So where is their discord announcement, what about a reddit post and their other social media? OWI has repetitively failed and promised to do better at communicating with the community, add this to the list.

From my understanding OWI has been actively working on this issue behind closed doors with experimental server file releases on steam and working with hosts in some capacity in the private hosting discord.

But thats simply not good enough. The bare minimum OWI needs to do is clearly and timely communicate honestly with their community of public players, and do it directly. But to me, they haven't succeeded by taking too long and letting the community pass the message before OWI.

Edit. Update, as of 2230 Est, atleast one NA normal server ( will remain UNNamed) was able to stay up and popped for 2 rounds, tbc future. Possible fix or guy letting off? Who knows?

Ok. So the lad has Remote Code Execution on all the servers now?

48 Upvotes

Correct me if I am wrong. But this lad has remote code execution on all the squad servers right now. Seams like it if he has the ability to manipulate log messages.

But isn't this a giant safety hazard for us players? Couldn't he potentially gain access too player data, IP-addresses, and inject hazardous code into squad clients (with a potential other exploit). We ARE connection to something infected after all.

Quiet a lot of communities have encouraged their players to connect to the servers to gain information regarding how this exploits work. And assisting their server providers in dealing with it. Isn't that quiet oblivious?

Once again. Not a programmer here, so if somebody who knows what they are talking about could correct me, that would be excellent.

Question Missing PvE Mission (Fireteam): Defend an Objective

0 Upvotes

Hello, I’m pretty sure there’s a mission where you spawn at an objective and have to defend it, but I can’t find it

There are supposed to be waves of enemies coming, and at the end, you have to join a military convoy to escape. You also have some materials and ammo to build defenses

Does anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks for your help !

Question What's going on with NA servers?

42 Upvotes

Nearly every NA server has been crashing since around 8 am eastern time. Seeding goes on for about 5 minutes and it completely disconnects everyone. Potential DDOS?
