Now I understand why there are so few clans

Oh haha you might be right!

True some in-game clan functionality would be useful and probably really help PA retain players... There's no better way to learn than to join and get taught by the pros!

Basically, if there were in-game clan controls and huge banners on the main menu advertising the clans and Exodus tournaments, etc., PA would probably have had an order of magnitude bigger competitive scene than it does now. It is maddening watching Uber leave so much of the game's huge potential untapped, all the while saying that they want their game to become a big competitive game, etc. I mean don't know anything about coding, but I doubt that clan controls and a couple of links on the main menu would take more than a week or two to put in there. Possibly even just a few days.

Already done.

Yeah, but... the people who research PA enough to use mods, have heard of exodus and care enough to install a mod giving you news about it every time you go in-game aren't really the kinds of 'new player' icycalm and I mean...

I have seen very little of the negative behaviour aimed towards clans in game like you mentioned.

The only thing happend to me was yesterday and was like.. (Kittin this ****, battlebear Kitten you) never had any other issue ever. Most of the time when I play randoms they are like, It's an honor and WOW its BattleBear.. Out of kindness I give them some gameplay tips and tricks to get them on the way faster and just be generaly nice also helps a lot

Well, how often does your team lose against randoms? If you never lose against randoms, no one will ever tell you that your clan "sucks".

How often do you try to play 4v4 or 5v5s in the MP lobby, when your entire team is composed of RLM members using their clan tag? I've never seen any other clan do this except mine. At most I see 3v3s, and once in a blue moon a 4v4 (and even then, it's we who make the lobby and the other clan jumps in -- I don't think I've ever seen another clan start a 4v4 team game lobby). And I've DEFINITELY never seen a 5v5. So again, you would not have the problem of not enough opponents filling up your lobby because they are scared of your clan tags.

Or, for example, I see many RLM members jumping into team games with teams composed of randoms. E.g. 3 randoms and one RLM member in a team. But we never do this. We don't play with randoms in our teams at all. If we can't get a team of us together, we don't play. And we don't play 1v1s at all (where I guess that clan tags don't matter).

Add all these factors together, and it is easy to see why your experience in the MP lobby is very different from mine.

I am not making my complaints up. I can get 20 people from my clan in here to back up every word I am saying, but last time I did this cwarner deleted a 600-word post of my friend Masahiro and locked the thread, so I don't see the point.

So many assumptions.. Ofcourse you can't see all the games all the time and I don't expect you to. But that doesn't mean other clans don't host their fair share of team games. Personally I've seen team games come up from every single clan in the lobby. Be it 3v3 to 5v5. Also Promethean, and I know Team burning does that aswell, play many team games against randoms which can consist of 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, but also to the extend of 3v7 when we play some crazy small map with crazy stuff happening all game long.

And to be fair... We never have trouble of lobbies not filling up. Sometimes it takes longer than normal but it will always fill up.

I see more team burning 5v5's than Cult 5v5's to be honest. We in promethean also play a lot of 5v5's and 4v4's so i guess that you're just playing in a different timezone or you just miss them. I do not see a lot Realm team games but i guess they are just playing their balance mod or something So i just wanted to point out as battlebear said that you make too many assumptions. I could also say that Team burning plays more team games than cult because i have seen more games by them, but that wouldn't be a fact.
