[CaptainMayhem88]

wow.. this has been covered, use the SEARCH feature...........


M$ is updating the dash board in the fall to ADD A CLAN BLADE FOR SOME GAME TITLES.... with that being said, you never know if bungie may / may not release a update for the game to allow for clan listings.. (althought i don't see how) AND why should it matter if there is a clan list or not in halo 3, we have other games that we play that we THRIVE on that don't support a clan list..... step your game up, your in XG.... you should know we run this shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttt.....

There is no clan support in the game.
Clan support may arrive in a future Dash update.
It will not be in the next update.
Players may still form parties at the press of a button.
Ranked Team Games still exist.
Bnet’s relaunch next week will give you FAR better tools to form a Clan than Halo 2 ever did.
Armor customization will make your clan more distinct anyway.
The old clan system was in fact just a second friends list. It had no other functionality whatsoever.

WOOOOO PROPHET! Nice find.

 

[XGC HYLANDER XC]

goes to show how stupid Bungie really is, half my captains and such dont have easy access to a comp by any means....great

No offense but it isn't Bungie's fault they don't have computers.

Also, how can you recruit someone into XG that can't register on the website and use the Forums?

If they aren't on the site and in your Group aka CLAN then they aren't in XG.

These people had better access to a comp in the past but they had things and situations occur since then which prevents this, yet they're all still registered of course otherwise they wouldnt be in my clan. I simply dont understand why they would take soemthing out of the game that was useful and so uneccesary to be removed.

 

[XGC Moxxi]

I dont see why everyone is making such a big fuss about the clans list. I know it was convenient but if it takes hopping back and forth between h2 and h3 to keep things a little smoother then so be it. I have been going back to h2 every night to check up on things and doing things exactly the way i had before just i play h3 now. I mean what's so hard about changing the disc if everyone loves clan lists so much?

 

[SYN BigBeso XD]

1. Hylander is right. What people don't realize is that there are other games out there that have no clan compatility IN GAME what-so-ever and yet they have a HUGE Community. *ahem*xiled*ahem*
2. There IS going to be some sort of Xbox live update that WILL support clans. XGC TwittyTee and I took it upon ourselves to call 1-800-4MYXBOX and ask. And yes, it was THAT simple.
3. If you're THAT freaked out about it, pop in your Halo2 disc and talk to your clan there.

 

[XGC MASTERVIPER]

I was on halo2 last night to see only one xg member on my friend list besides myself on there.

 

[XGC HYLANDER XC]

I was on halo2 last night to see only one xg member on my friend list besides myself on there.

Yeah but there were like 30,000 other people playing H2.
Did you take the time to go play with them and talk to them about the great community you are in?

Maybe try and recruit some new members that share your situation with not being able to get a 360 or H3?

It isn't the fault of others that some people are not yet able to get on to a new game that has come out.

I mean, we have already had to dealt with this situation when the 360 came out, then FEAR, then GEARS and so on.

This is an industry that is ever changing and improving itself. We have to run with those changes best I can for the good of the large percentage of the community.

This does not mean we forget about our other members which is something a few leaders have done. That is being addressed. However, this website has not been down for weeks so no one can complain about not reaching someone. Private Messages work just fine.

Also, I have sent messages out on the 360 and H2 letting everyone know some alternative ways to communicate such as using xbox.com for sending and receiving text messages.

Anyone on a black box can still log into xbox.com and send text messages which show up on the 360 dashboard. That is an extra step beings you can just use the website but hey, it is a second choice if someone needs one.


And Mav, you may not know me so this could come off wrong but, that is just an excuse. The library has free computers, a neighbor, a cousin or someone has a computer that people that really want to be leaders in the community can get to once maybe twice a week.

They choose to complain and be lazy instead of looking for a solution and being a leader for their members. That is not XG's fault. But we shall be the ones to fix it.

Accountability. Be warned those that are not doing things they have agreed to do when accepting your promotion.

 

[Nepenthe Amity]

Also, how can you recruit someone into XG that can't register on the website and use the Forums?

Well one its Called Wireless Internet (which people do tend to steal very easily and noone know about it). So Thats how my friend.

And Some People dont like computers (trust me i do know a few people) because their computers always get infected with a virus of some sort, even with a Virus Protector.

Its a Crazy world we live in, but everyone will survive.

Oh I completely understand you're point of veiw. You'll have to forgive what I have said in this topic, I havent quite been in the best state of mind lately. I have been coping with a very hard death to deal with. It has made me a bit irritable I suppose but in any case For anyone on these forums stressing over the changes this website is more or less a clan list for all of XG as a whole as a family. As some have already said we are a forum based community. The core and heart of info is here within this website and with or without the update XG will survive and rise up stronger than ever. I'm sure alot of you are confused with exactly how to recruit in H3 but its rather simple. Just inform them of the website and tell them to look you up and through a private message or on the game you can explain everything they need to know and they can meet alot of great people in this community who will in time become people who these recruits play with on perhaps even a daily basis. With the leaders and structure that this community posseses there is no doubt that H3 will bve nothing more than a gateway to plenty of good potential XG members.

 

[SYN Acid Tiger]

Ok I there ever just going to put the clan forms over here, lets face it many people with 360s will one time or the other get Halo 3, so just bring to forms over here and when we recruit people the can come to these forms.

 

[SprayingLead]

I just realized now that there isn't a clan list in halo 3

 

[XGC DESTRUCTO]

Very well said, Bravo. I would like to add one little caveat to all that though, please don't send messages from halo2, use XBOX.com as XGC MASTERVIPER stated above to send a message that can be read from the 360 blade itself and not just in game, Thanks

 

[XGC ILLMATIC]

The forums will move soon enough, but until then just pull together your strong members and make your clan work. we did it for gears so i think it should not be to hard for H3.

 

[Saltrix]

DROPPED THE BALL

dropped the ball

The forums will move soon enough, but until then just pull together your strong members and make your clan work. we did it for gears so i think it should not be to hard for H3.

when is soon enough? did someone not realize that halo 3 was coming out? we don't even have halo 3 clans yet. and now i hear from my general that there will be no halo 3 clans. we are what you call a halo clan. spanning all halo games. well i will go back to halo 2 for now every once in a while. but in a couple weeks you will find me on there just about as much as i get on halo 1 and use xbox connect....

and what do i tell the couple of guys in my clan that don't have h3? that they are screwed because wer'e not going to make separate h3 and h2 clans? and theres nowhere for them to transfer.

and if we are a halo clan, what section will our forums be in? i understand our webmasters are mostly or al volunteer work, and i appreciate everything they do. and i know that they have other things to do besides this site. but try explaining to a new recruit why they have to join a h2 clan (according to the site) when they don't even own h2.

all i'm saying is we knew the release date for halo 3 like a year ago. we knew there would be no clan list in game months ago. we should have had everything taken care of a week before the game came out. combining all the black box ppl into fewer clans. combining h3 ppl into new clans if neccesarry, deciding the names of those clans, and various other tasks. we had ample time.

right now, i hate to say it, but its just a mess. i mean i don't wanna bring ppl in right now. i don't want their first impression of this great community to be this.

WE DROPPED THE BALL? I DON'T THINK SO.

WE dropped the ball? I don't think so.

Yo, you say WE a lot in your post. WE knew this was coming, WE knew no clan list. Who is WE?

I ask as I take as you pointing fingers at the leaders of the community. Correct me if your wrong.

Regardless, I will tell you that your wrong because the WE that I am referring to know exactly what WE are doing and have been telling your other leaders for 2 months how things were to be run.

1. Our clans are run from this website not H2, H3 or any other game. 2. We setup the usergroups which are our CLANS on the website so that Generals would not have to post a squad list anymore and could easily communicate with their clans. (you think they would actual use that but last I checked it said we had like 600 members in the XGC clans)
3. The website is in fact being worked on daily but, WE are not Linux gurus and WE (not me but other leaders) have spent thousands of dollars on servers and tech help to try and get things fixed properly. Currently there are some conflicts that prevent the WE from doing anything on the site such as setting up some groups, modifying some groups and modifying the forums themselves.

Now to address your issue about setting up an H3 section for clans. I am going to repeat this and if anyone else ever says different I swear I will make them be pink for a month.

Our clans are not H2 clans. They are just GAMING CLANS. It does not matter what forum they are currently sitting in. It could say UNO above them and they would still be Xiled Gaming Clans.

H2 is over as is the black box it was played on. Things get upgraded and new versions come out. That is just how it is.

In order for us to stay up with things we have put in place all the tools for LEADERS to run their CLANS on this website. Not in H2, Not in H3 and not on UNO either.

This information was told to Section Leaders to pass on to Generals over a month ago. Those that understood it have since gotten their clans setup on the website in their groups. Those that are lazy , bad leaders or just simply decided to ignore things altogether have not. Trust me when I say this, those people that are not meeting their responsibilities are about to get a rude awakening. This is not a threat this is just the way it is.

I will end this short novel by saying this, never ever question the leaders ability to know what they are doing for this community. We spend many hours discussing lots and lots of stuff and it all leads to one thing, the good of every member in this great community.

Now Saltrix, I see that you are in ARMADA so I know for sure that Blackops has had to have gone over this stuff with Killintyme who I am sure has passed it down to you. If by this post you are saying they have not, then I will be happy to discuss that with them. Feel free to PM about that situation if you think it is needed.

 

[KoG NeoN]

Well Dashboard clans are an EXTREME possibility.

 

[Saltrix]

when i said we i was refering to everyone as whole community, but in hindsite, given the subject matter i suppose it was directed at the leaders a bit. as far as questioning wether they know what they are doing or not, that was not my intent either. i meant to express how uneasy it makes everyone feel when they don't know whats going on. for instance i did not know they were having technical difficulties adding things to the site. that is a perfectly understandable reason, but there is nowhere i or anyone else can go to find things like that out; it would be nice if there were.

as far as running clans on the website i know about that, however there was nothing ever posted on the site that explained any benefits of this, for instance someone told me i would be able to message the whole clan at once from there. that functionality is not there yet (could be due to the previously mentioned technical difficulties). but i would have thought that somthing that big, that affected everyone, would have been in the news section or somthing.

now i understand that xg clans are not for just one game, the way i always understood that is: don't think that you are not "in" XG when you play another game. you must still follow the honor code and all. but it does not make sense to not have a primary game in a individual clan. otherwise you end up with 2 ppl in 1 game in the clan. which really doesn't allow those 2 the benefits of being in xg. a.k.a: having cool ppl to play with. why deny them that? what is the benefit of not having clans specific per game?
