Other merge types follow different code paths and have different associated design concerns and differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafi.8952 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Happened to me too twice while commanding a bounty train in the new maps. Was a bit confused when it happened. Laughed it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felonia Stardust.7851 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Today during RIBA and chest run my squad suddenly merged with another squad. The other leader accused me of merging the groups and told me he "checked the squad's history" to confirm that I did. I told him I was busy fighting a leg. at red when he told me I merged the groups. Is any of this even possible b/c I did not merge the groups. Can squad members merge groups or only commanders/lieutenants? There was no confirmation message given to me, my squad just suddenly surged from 30 to 50 people. Thanks for any info. I don't want this to happen again.

The raging kid accusing you of anything is lying and don't bother with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felonia Stardust.7851 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Okay, thank you for the info. I'm new at commanding a squad and am still trying to figure out all of the dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander.9836 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 This happens to me when I run HP trains. I let the new folks know we’re running a HP Train and they’re welcome to join but if they wish to do other things then I ask them to leave squad.

Leablo.2651 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 While we're on the subject, there is also the issue that even if a player does the right thing and leaves the party, if he was the only other person, it disbands the party and LFG. So if you get a bunch of indecisive LFG shoppers it's like a train of unwanted merges and disbands forcing you to relist in LFG over and over. There should be a party leader for the purpose of assembling a group, and only the leader should be able to merge or disband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple lock/unlock icon would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interloper.6892 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 3 years later this is STILL happening.you try to be helpful and organise stuff... and some troll merges 40 players into your squad. People in a different map doing something irrelevant. So you have to disband the squad and start over. Makes me wonder why I bother trying to help people in this game.It should not be possible to merge a load of players into a squad without the commander clicking OK. Obviously. They are only doing it to annoy other people that are trying to be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry.8095 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 IMO, if a player (not commander/lieutenant) who is currently in a squad and are looking at a different squad in the LFG, the option displayed should be "switch" (jumping into another squad), not "merge".
