DUST Search - Lone Wolfs Stand Up

Solo, and it's a Corp not a Clan. This is not the late 90's and competitive gaming is not in a pre-teen steered identity crisis.

In gaming a Clan is an unofficial group of individuals wearing the same tag as a means to relate to each other. Usually due to organizational incompetence and an inability to become a legitimately registered Team.

In professional gaming, the term clan is phased out in favor of "Team", and "Clan" is looked down upon as a group of lesser renown that is not up to the standards of professional competition. Advertisers do not typically want a "Clan" wearing their logo.

When a game supplies the means to band together in an official capacity it will often give you a name from which you can work with. In some games, these are "Guilds". In the case of Dust, you have Corps and Alliances. You do not have clans, and you will never have clans. Outside of the game, you can have a clan, but that will be considered a separate entity to the one in the game.

I hope that has educated you and brought you up to speed on the modern era of gaming. You may of course continue to call it whatever you wish, but do know that basically everyone will think less of you. Clan is, after all, the absolute worst thing you can choose to call your group in question. It's kind of a self-inflicted insult, really.

Mostly because I hate leaving my clan (yes its a ******* clan) hanging when I have to go do something. Who else here is a solo artist? Who else sees a group of Nian San and doesn't back out?

Thang Bausch Pierrot Le Fou Industries 104	Posted - 2014.04.18 23:27:00 - [7] - Quote I almost always lone wolf, which is strange because I logi most of the time. Been thinking about trying to get into an active corp so I can team up with people regularly, but even then I would still run solo sometimes. Frankly I haven't played much over the last 3-4 months anyway.

Also, this game does not have dragons or magic, and a group of people banded together are not called f'ing clans. They are corps. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Got a headset last month and have been running in rando squads to good effect (unquestionably, I earn more WP and typically have a better KDR if I run with a team; unless I'm sniping, then it doesn't matter), but I still like to run solo. I have a fiance that's always like, "Stuff and things and stuff and stuff and things," so I have to keep my headset off in order to "listen" more convincingly. My other dropsuit is a Python.

Some games are just horrendous. I'm used to them now, I know how to limit my losses, but new players? Jesus.

I run solo 99% of the time. Having people watching your back is the ultimate crutch Plus, I play on a computer monitor (so no sound) and no headset means that most squads with the technical skill to be worth running with aren't interested in having me.

Clans, corps, guilds, teams, organization's, free companies, link shells are the same thing in every game. There arent "special rules" that make each one different. The only difference between them are the names in which the game creators decided they would be referred to as. That is all.
