A guild / clan system, please!

[Riepah]

I really lament the distinct lack of any form of guild system in this game. It would be so nice to be able to invite players to your guild and have a separate chat with them. I'd welcome an extensive guild system with level ups and little perks and whatnot, even.

What are your thoughts on this?

Yea there are no proper ways to find groups and yet the devs made content that requires coordination.

Once again very very poor design.

Yeah, for some reason I am feeling particularly talkative today, it's weird. Maybe the full moon we had last night did it. I am a werespammer!

This is a huge no brainer. Honestly impressed that the game launched without one... its basically standard operating procedure and would go a long way in combating the huge amount of people playing intercepts with no clue wth they are actually supposed to do.

It wouldn't fix that. All it would do is exclude people. Now you have pre-made groups and no reason to involve others.

I'm not saying guilds are a bad thing. But, it is a system of exclusion, not inclusion.

Im not sure what games you have played with guild systems... but typically one of the staple types of guilds are literally for training newbies into halfway decent players.

Will there be sweaty premades? Absolutely. But not all people suck, just the majority. There will be some people who will want to help out the low end of the community. I guarantee it.

...uhhh,,, Im not sure what games you have played with guild systems... but typically one of the staple types of guilds are literally for training newbies into halfway decent players.

I play a ton of MMOs. That is why i know its exclusionary. if you don't join a guild you are excluded. Its worse in MMO because if you dont join the right guild you are limited in what content you can interact with.

Damn what a stupid thing to say. I do bosses solo anyways cuz it's much faster, the only thing guilds would change is I would get people who are geared up and are on my level to do it with me or I would carry people in my guild cuz I chose to do so and help them out, showing them how to do bosses and their mechanics.

Right now randoms just grief you and waste your time.

you cant do all bosses solo so it would mainly be for those ones like frost walker or molten fortress bc for some reason the player base doesnt understand what to do on those fights

Also, do 95% of the people even use keyboard or headset? I never hear/see anyone while doing missions. That might be the even larger issue.

i have everyone auto muted i personally dont want to hear anyone while i play the game i will type if someone types to me but the typing feature in this game just sucks bc u can get out like 1 and a half sentences before it cuts you off

I cant speak for others but I do use both and from my experience in pick up groups ~90% of people do not (or can not) use chat. For voice I would say ~80% do not use it.

I use the chat, but have the voice chat disabled.

I think more people would use the chat if it were... better. The filter sucks and just swallows lots of messages up for no reason making you retype and slightly change them because you can't even tell why it didn't go through, we only have World and Normal chat tabs and zero options to customize them, we can't write a whole sentence because the symbol limit per message is too low. It's one big mess, no wonder nobody uses it.
Add to that that plenty of console players won't use it to begin with, but still.

Oh yea but I assume Frost Walker and co will be easier in a few weeks once people are geared out and it will die in a few seconds aswell.

But for future content where you might need better or new gear that might be a huge issue if you have no ways to properly group up.
