sneaky, if you cant talk to the admin as it concerns him then try the game admin, if that fails then the best course of action is to message pen or tea

Anyhow kill you on arma tomorrow night...xmas special

Duvel probably just got annoyed at getting ripped out of his squad again.
What happens when you join a person who's in a full squad is, they get pulled from that squad and a new squad is started with the two of you in. It is a massive annoyance, especially when you finally find yourself in a squad playing well together.

If everyone could instead just see what server a person is on, then join the server and see if there's room in the squad, everything goes more smooth and Duvel doesn't lose his cool.
(Or just join on one of us others and not Duvel all the time :D)

Sneaky, that's not what happened m8. I was in a Squad with Ninja and several other dMw'ers which I also mentioned with the ingame VoiceComms. That is the reason I switched back to Ninja's squad.
It was not personal at all and for the rest it's like Faust mentioned.

I've made a post about this on the BF4-section about joining on friends and that it's actually better to ask on TS first if you can join directly on them. EA/DICE has messed this friend joining quit bad.
Don't feel bad, I've actually told my 10 year old nephew who plays BF4 to do the same.

The thing what happens if the friend you are joining on in game is that if hey are in a full squad, it gets them kicked out of the squad of their former one, creates a new Squad with the Squad being locked from anyone joining.
The Squad being locked can be adjusted. Also if you join on a friend you have a certain amount of time to adjust you joining on him (since latest patch).

HTH

From the perspective of those that have been playing the franchise for a few generations now, I think you're response is a bit harsh Sneaky.

Had you known about the squad join bug in advance that you'd know what DuVeL was referring to. Also, this could have been resolved on TS instead of over forum posts. You had ample chance to discuss it with me but to be honest, until you left, I didn't even know you had come into the channel.

The correct way to deal with things like this is to always contact the GL and discuss the situation first. Posting here and making it a public debate is always frowned upon (especially as in this case when you're incorrect).

@SULKY

..... and so will I.

Hey I was just wanting to DE-escalate, and in retrospect, I have checked my post and edited my post to what I actually thought I had posted  in the first place from my tablet ...
