XOOM

Squads and High Command go hand in hand with everything that is WWII Online's gaming experience. Today we want to share with you that we want Squads back as part of HC, and how you'll get some recognition within the game world for doing so. We'll also discuss how being an HC officer gives you some content perks as well. Finally, Squad representation within the HC program helps your Squad achieve their goals by having people equipped with the right set of tools to ensure the Campaign goes the very best for your side / team. Okay let's get into it!

SQUADS IN HIGH COMMAND - THE CONCEPT

We believe that Squads being in High Command is VITAL to improving WWII Online's Campaign, not just for your side, but for everyone. Here's the general pitch of what it means to align your Squad with HC:

  1. Squads will need to meet certain criteria (down below). This will include minimum number of players active, a side affiliation set, and leaders willing to join HC.
  2. The total number of Squad participants to become High Command Officers is three (3).
  3. These new HC officers will all be placed in a SINGLE (1) brigade, part of our most active Division(s) available.
  4. Your Squad Name will be visible on the game's user interface, for everyone to see.
  5. These new HC officers will receive full HC tools and perks (which are currently available for all current HC officers).
  6. Squads are eligible to receive their own Squad forums within the current http://forums.wwiionline.com main area.

Squads and High Command are here to stay, including at / beyond the implementation of 1.36 Hybrid Supply.

INSTRUCTIONS ON SIGNING UP

  1. Go to your Squads in HC sign up thread
    1. Allied Squads in High Command (HERE)
    2. Axis Squads in High Command (HERE)
  2. Verify that you qualify for the standards as seen below
  3. Provide a list of your top 10 most active users
  4. Sign up to High Command (Premium subscription required)
    1. Allied High Command (Apply)
    2. Axis High Command (Apply)
    3. If you have any issues, use "Microsoft EDGE" browser

That should be all. Our Community Managers will also support throughout all of this. 

NEW SQUADS WHO NEED HELP GROWING

We have some tools to help you with this goal. This includes directly infusing your Squad with NEW players who sign up to the game so you can help them and turn their first WWII Online experience into an amazing one! You'll also receive a brand new loyal community member to help your Squad further.

If you're interested in this, check out our NEW SQUADS LOOKING TO GROW forum thread. 

SQUAD REQUIREMENTS (ELIGILIBILITY)

  • Has at least 10 active players
    • All must stay active weekly
  • 3 of those players will join HC
    • Premium subscription required
  • Has an established Squad night
    • Once per week
  • Is working to grow its numbers
  • Has in-game recruiter flags turned on

If a Squad is approved and then falls from these standards, your Squad may be subject to losing its User Interface recognition perk.

SQUADS ON THE USER INTERFACE

Once you meet the requirements our Game Management team will add YOUR SQUAD name to the user interface for everyone on your side and the opposing side to see. We've tested this and it works great!

YOUR SQUAD WILL TAKE CHARGE OF A BRIGADE IN HIGH COMMAND

Our structure always includes, 1 Division and 3 Brigades. So for example, your Squad would look like this:

  • 51st Highland Division
    • Commander
    • Executive Officer
  • 1st Brigade YOUR SQUAD NAME HERE
    • YOU - Brigade Commander
    • Squaddie #1 - Brigade Executive Officer
    • Squaddie #2 - Brigade XXO
    • Your squad all together gets associated here
  • 2nd Brigade Another Squad
  • 3rd Brigade Another Squad

Representation in Division Command will come from those three Brigades. 

HC OFFICER PERKS

  1. Additional forum access for operational / secure communications
  2. Access to critical in-game toolset to sustain campaign operations
    1. Move supply
    2. Initiate an attack on towns and bridges
    3. Secure chat with other HC officers
  3. Rank progression / recognition
  4. HC Officer class
    1. Deploys infantry (rifle only) mobile spawn PPO
    2. Rifleman with a pistol
  5. NCO Class
    1. Equipped with SMG
    2. Deploys ammunition cache PPO
  6. Ammunition Bearer Class
    1. Equipped with bolt-action rifle
    2. Has 4 ammo cans

SQUADS AND HC PARTICIPATION IS MEANT TO BE

We've designed the game so that Squads are able to grow and continue to grow, that takes some great leadership and consistency. We want to do what ever we can to help you in this endeavor and stand ready to do so. By joining the High Command you're affirming your commitment to your side and are helping make the whole game stronger. 

For our Veteran players and Squads, we know that High Command has been around for awhile. But we cannot emphasize just how important it is to recognize that we need to start fresh and go forward. This is no doubt a call to action to step up our game across the board to improve the atmosphere. If you're in an existing Squad and need some help growing, we can help you with infusing new players into your Squad as well. Get those "Recruiter Flags" turned on and let us know how we can help.

I look forward to seeing Squads step up and take advantage of this program, we hope the recognition and recent perks added to being in HC helps.

Sooo...you finaly decided to admit that those masses of players, who told you, since 2007, that your new HC system was a mistake, that a lot of players would unsub, a lot of veterans would NOt stay, a lot of new players wouldnt like it, squads would vanish, etc, etc...and it took you TWELVE years...!? You are 11 years LATE, CRS.. :o

The key to greater squad involvement is providing the tools to assist organized game play. The game needs a better mission UI that allows groups to coordinate missions as a team. A ready room before spawning would permit individuals to organize targets, roles, ordinance, communication channels, fallback positions, and secondary agendas, etc... It also is a way of training newbies into the game (so they may actually live through a spawn) in a highly social environment that will form lifelong subs.

Quoting waste of effort:
I reckon 75%+ of squads that might have stepped up stopped reading after the "must have recruiter flag on". Most squads do not want random green tags joining them and then playing any where on the map for any side.That is why most squads do not have recruiting flags on, and I expect will continue to do so. Will you be booting the HCs from squads who already provide 3 or more HC and will not be putting recruiting flags on? Another self inflicted CRS wound. We want to lumber you with running the game and we want to lumber you with every transient Tom Dick and Harry that tries out the game and joins your squad without so much as a "Hi!" in chat.


This was asked to encourage Squad growth. That's what WWII Online requires. You get to choose who your squad mates are and who gets to stay, you remain in control of how your squad runs. We need the doors open, not closed, for new players.

Excellent initiative . Thriving Squads and active HQ are what made WWIIOL . It worked like that unill the infamous brigade spawning when Squads and HQs started to vanish .

This is the way it worked prior to the implementation of Brigade Spawning and it worked very well. Glad to see it's return. I am not commenting on the recruiting flag, I don't remember if that was a requirement previously.

If you wanted squads to grow then you'd allow squad missions. It appears that this is just a way to get people to volunteer to administrate your game for free. Whatever it is the initiative is flawed because it assumes that being in HC is some kind of privilege rather than being unpaid work.

You charge $18/month you should be able to pay someone to be in HC if it's that important.
