Guilds?

Greatness · February 2005

Well, they could be called guilds, but I probably like "gangs" would be like a better term lol. Anyway, will there be these in the game? It would be really cool to have, because you and your "gang" can go to like a pvp zone and there are like small junkyards or something you can take over! It would be cool. Like in Lineage 2, with their castle seiges. You could have Junkyard Wars!

IgnisAer · February 2005

I am starting to doubt if you really went and read the interviews about the game. Yeah, there will be guilds within each faction, called Clans.

Greatness · February 2005

They are going to have junkyards as territories right? Or will they have something that they came up with? Junkyards are the only thing I can picture lol with cars.

This probably belongs in the pvp section more than here, but I would like to see a clan system set up kind like this. The 3 factions are all at war, perhaps with open pvp, perhaps in certain areas, but beyond the arenas. I mean, if the humans really thing the mutants are so bad, they'd be more than happy to kill a few while out driving around. But also, the clans could have different areas for pvp, so they could settle their differences in an area where they know the other factions won't bother them. I mean if say i'm a grove street member, and i have a problem with another grove street member, i'm not going to fight in baller territory, i'm gonna settle it on grove street. Sorry for that particular reference, but it's all I can think of right now. But if i'm out fighting a mutant, and another human comes along, even if his clan is at war with mine, I don't think he should attake me, or even be able to in that zone, because the human desire to kill mutants would outweigh that to kill rival humans.

Ya, that would be a good way, because it would make a more important role in choosing a good faction. That would be fun too! Lol, Groove Street.

Erythorbic · February 2005

Hehe it was like 4am when I posted that and it was all that came to mind, but I'm willing to bet we see a grove street clan in there somewhere. I think they need to have the "junkyard" conflict zones really have meaning. That way people will never really have nothing to do. Tired of chasing down pike bandits for the day? Go help defend the resources for a bit. With as many people fighting over those areas as I'd think there would be, the terrain would look different from hour to hour so it would stay fresh.

wel i have been reading quite a few of the interveiws looking for more information on the game and from what i found is that clans in AA are know as convoys. as for pvp its pvp, and pve. there tossing around the idea of doing a sort of planetside style pvp where u need to take and hold an outpost. that outpost gives your faction/convoy extra powers. as for interfaction fighting i dont really think there would be much since most of the convoys inside that faction would have simular goals of complete domination over the other factions. though small interfaction skirmishs would be fun as hell. (everyone would like to know whos the best of the best in there faction its a given) i hope my ramblings helped clear some stuff up for u guys

ooo ps. ingis the interviews are chaulk full of info thats not release on the main site so it gives a bit of an insight.

IgnisAer · February 2005

Little bit of misinfo there, feather. Guilds == Clans, Groups == Convoys.

Erythorbic · February 2005

Thanks for clearing that up, I was a bit off on that myself. Gotta have the proper lingo, though I suspect I'll still say guild about 50 times before I get it right. Old dogs don't learn new tricks very well ya know.

Feather · February 2005

yea i noticed i got the 2 mixed up after i posted. but besides that most of what i said is right

Greatness · February 2005

It is going to be hard saying clans and conoys instead of guilds and groups or partys.

Erythorbic · February 2005

Yeah, when I was playing SWG it seemed that everyone gave up on trying to say player association and just stuck with guild.

Feather · February 2005

well player assiciation is a bit of a pain to say convoy for groups is no prob at all to say but i think convoy would work for clan as well in my mind. fleet may as well and maybe gang would work.

i cant wait for clan wars vs other factions massive vech battles are gonna be fun as all hell

Anofalye · February 2005

Clan is easy to say...

Conoy? Forget it, say gang instead of group if you want, but you freaking need an USED word to stick with.

Players are happy to comply and adopt the new terms, as long as they make sense and are fun. Using ''Super Group'' in CoH was natural and easy. Using Clan will be natural and easy, group could maybe be replaced with gang, but not with conoy LOL.

Feather · February 2005

i find convoy easier to say for some reason. as for gang and clan ill prolly say thouse any way

Erythorbic · February 2005

I'm so about this game, they could call us all floppy bunnies and I'd be ok with it

You've never heard anyone use the term convoy before? I hear it used all the times.

Erythorbic · February 2005

I think convoy will catch on, it's in the spirit of the game. Haven't heard it used in a game yet, but I also hear it all the time. I'm sure once everyone gets in the spirit of things it will be common.

Feather · February 2005

just like CoH's supergroups or swg's pa or planetside's battlion. most games use something in the spirt of the game to call groups or clans. i will most likly use convoy.

NC_Pann · February 2005

Convoy is a common term used for a group of vehicles that are traveling together. There was a popular song way back in the 70's, during the CB radio craze, called "Convoy" that may help those who are unfamiliar with the term understand it a little better.

*prepares to see many variations of "Rubber Duck" show up in Auto Assault*

Feather · February 2005

just think of smoky and the bandit 1-3 pretty much they were a convoy

IgnisAer · February 2005

either that, or think military. military transports that have more than one vehicle involved is referred to as convoys

L · February 2005

my take on the clan thing is it will prob be like Planet side. for those who havent played that it is all out war between three factions and clan where hardcore and would only group to make massive assaul.

If anyone else can think of another game that had a 3 way battle and a clan system plz post how they did it. this game better have a kick A$$ sound track.

Feather · February 2005

daoc is a 3 way battle. what they had though was regions u had to take over and artifacts to steal the more artifacts u had the stronger u became. the aa team has been suggesting that they may have regional areas with bases to take over to gain powers for your faction its not definate but its a good idea if they implement it
