Title: Need More Clans!!
Post by: Tanken on January 11, 2012, 09:00:44 pm
I see cRPG clans pop up occasionally and then they quickly fade away, their stakes in Strategus are usually minimal if anything at all. Where have all of the clans gone? In NA it seems you are stuck with a choice of ATS, LLJK, Chaos, TKoV, or LoC. Hospitaller is a huge faction too, but it seems any of these clans you'll get swept under the rug among all the members. I want to root for the little guys again! I want to see someone not comprised of 12 year old players rise to the top of the game and have some leadership!

What about strategy players? Are there no clans left that implement actual strategy? Coordinated Shield Walls, Archery Squads, Uniforms even? That would be kickass to see again, and I definitely miss it. I don't know what the cause of the sudden decrease in clans is? Maybe they got screwed in Strat? Other games? I know SWTOR is a factor, but seriously, is there that many George Lucas boylovers out there that love Star Wars?

This may seem like a rant, and I'm not "mad" by writing it, it's just disappointing as a recently recruit-able player to see that there's no clans out there that fit my liking--at least that I have seen.

There's also that. I mean, there's plenty of small factions. You just have to find them. They probably won't be on the front page.

I know that Reinhardt, but in NA there's very few active ones. They are very rare to see and it seems one day you'll see them, the next day they're gone.

If I wanted to talk and coordinate seriously with people I would go outside and start a community out-reach program.

Low blow.

If it's any remedy I also left Fallen, BRD, HoC and a bunch of other clans off there. Sorry MrShine, just shooting off names of clans I actively see in NA 1.

Invicti guys have been pretty active as of late.  Occitan is pretty active too (but speak french).  Crusaders were active for a week or two in decent numbers but they've dropped off as of late. 

You could always join Reddit, they popped up out of nowhere and took all BRD territory in strategus.  They've been getting better since showing up on the scene 2 weeks or a month ago, but they still team hit like crazy (probably cuz they're new).

BRD's been dead for a long time now.  Besides you and maybe one or two others in the public server once in a while.

You don't have a "choice" of LLJK, sorry.

Also strategy and shield walls are dead because the mechanics in Strategus don't currently support them that well. It's hard to effectively shield wall with crappy shields (i.e. what you will have if you don't spend 3 months crafting Huscarls), and Uniforms/Squads have never worked because people are idiots and refuse to do what they're told.

You're right. I wouldn't lower myself to that level x]

And I'm not referring to Shield Walls just in Strategus, in public matches they're pretty effective if executed correctly. I've considered Reddit, but I don't know! It's pretty crazy how they came out of nowhere, I will say that.

Free Peasants of Fisdnar, small, angry, armed with sticks.

If you want to root for the little guy, there he is. FPFs bitter struggle against the repressive LLJK rages on, but does anyone give a damn? No, no one does.

If your interested in team play you can always stop by the Fallen TS
(click to show/hide)
We always welcome players that want to fight as a team. Plus we are always experimenting with tactics and formations.

Norse Hoard also may be right up you ally too.
1) When they have a group their, shield/thrower, polearm formation is pretty effective.
2) They are smallish.
3) They use theme armor.

Dharan Legion! We consist of 8 guys and Hang with invictus. Big clans do suck, but lots of cools guys.(For example, I play SOTS with a bunch of Hosp and some wolves.)

Sad part is that 90% of unclanned players don't go looking for a clan, they wait to be invited/asked to join, some think they are not good enough to be in a clan so they don't try.
But Champions of Norrath is always looking for players new and old, we are just a subclan for DL that for now focuses more on having fun than playing politics. And constant x5 on siege!

It's bad enough watching people in-game begging others to get on TS that I don't need for it to personally happen.

I don't think its too surprising that Reddit suddenly flooded. They have something like 500 guys in Mount and Musket (about 1900 subscribed).

Post by: Tanken on January 12, 2012, 08:06:42 am
Ah I see now. CoN is DL sub-clan. I didn't know that! Cool.

And I agree, getting asked to be in TS all the time is annoying, but if you're apart of a clan, TS should be the first thing you connect to before launching the game. At least that's my opinion.

It impresses me that Reddit - though new and not yet at an advanced skill level in game - use tactics and formations in battle more than any established clan I have seen in a while.

Chaos baboons just charge into battle one by one like feverish monkeys  :?

If is the under dog you want to win then get people to join GyB very high chance people will get trashed by them

And reddit is so good at tactics because they are from MM... Seriously theirs your answer

2) They are smallish.
3) They use theme armor.

Only about 5 of us are active in c-rpg right now.  I'm hoping that Star Wars MMO will fade out quickly (which is just as gay as every other MMO out there, but star wars themed).  If all the fuckers playing that come back to c-rpg we'll have about a dozen active players again.  Until then the few of us playing will keep on pubbing.

It's bad enough watching people in-game begging others to get on TS that I don't need for it to personally happen.

You could wait for clans to ask you, but you're probably better off finding a group of players who you like and are pretty active and asking to give playing with them a try and see how things work out.   It is more fun pubbing when you have a small group of you working together in teamspeak or vent (or mumble or w/e).

Yeah not a bad idea, but I'd still love to see another big clan come in and run some sort of mature strategy.

Let's start a clan that only uses in-game voice chat and flags.

NO!

NO, god dammit! I'm talking about Cavalieres. You know, the clan I'm in--the best one in the world. The one that is not dead, and will never die, for you cannot kill gods.

You are BRD in my mind :P Haven't seen a coordinate group of Cavalieres since before you were lumped in with BRD.
