Would you really like to quit your team?
Yes or No

I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally quit my team trying to click somebody or something near the quit button by accident.

Pretty please?

Mr. Genius would like to quit your team. Will you allow this?
Yes or NO, HE IS STUCK ON MY TEAM FOREVER BWAHAHAHA


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Hasnt been a problem for me, but

/signed.

Should be easy enough that, even if its a problem for only 5% of the population, it's a problem that doesn't need to exist when the fix is this easy.

Also an option to turn it off. Only cos people would complain. I'll use it. I have often hit quit instead of exit when I was learning.

It may not be that hard as there is already one when you are on a task force.

Going to keep this thread alive.... because I've done this at least 6 times on my buffing/healing characters alone while trying to select somebody for a buff/quick heal.


Please for the love of god add a prompt option.

this type of thing is already applied to tfs, flashbacks, and AE

for regular teams i cant say if it would annoy me or not, but if there was an option to not ask for regular teams then it would be fine

Exactly.... so it should not be a complicated task.

Have you considered using keyboard to select teammates?
It can be workaround for you until (if at all) this popup box was implemented.

I'm using the following binds to select and buff teammates on my fire/kin:

ADD "powexecname Increase Density"
NUMPAD1 "teamselect 1"
NUMPAD2 "teamselect 2"
NUMPAD3 "teamselect 3"
NUMPAD4 "teamselect 4"
NUMPAD5 "teamselect 5"
NUMPAD6 "teamselect 6"
NUMPAD7 "teamselect 7"
NUMPAD8 "teamselect 8"
NUMPAD9 "targetcustomnext friend notteammate notmypet"
NUMPADENTER "powexec_name Speed Boost"

I play on a laptop (a beast of a laptop mind you but still), I have no numpad.

hes using the numpad as an example, can bind those commands to any key

Well, I'm playing on laptop too, but using full keyboard, monitor and mouse connected through KVM switch. I can't play the game using laptop's keyboard and mouse at all

I like this idea.

On a similar vein, could we also expand the feature that keeps you on your team if you log (or lag) out while on a TF to normal teams? It sucks when you've just joined a good PuG, mapserve, log back in, and find that you can't remember a single temmate's name to ask for an invite back.

I actually don't think I'd agree with that one for one reason. There's a good number of people who purposefully log off and/or DC themselves to get away from a bad team because they're typically cowards that don't want to take responsibility for what they do.

So basically if one guy did this, the entire team would have to disband and reform, to replace this guy, and start the mission over again. Unless I'm mistaken.

So just add in the ability to kick someone from a team when they're offline. That's not a bad thing to have either honestly.

Yes to a prompt for quitting teams.

Very much yes for the ability to stay on a team when you log out and crash, at least for 5-10 minutes. That way, we might be able to sidestep our solo missions resetting when the cat trips over the DSL cable.

I thought about that but I figured it'd be a difficult thing to do.

I think, this ability already exist in the game. It is something like /kickinternal "charname"

Edit:

Slash command is /team_kick_internal, some people claimed it worked for them, other people were saying it didn't work. Worth to try anyway IMO

Really. Well that would change things entirely and make this suggestion even far easier if it were true. I'll have to try this sometime.

I think the idea of an "are you sure?" box for quitting teams is good
