The clan I'm part of is steadily moving toward being able to knock off the last of the social pursuits, but one of the requirements is 5 in all categories. We're still 4 in competitive multiplayer, and it seems to be one of the slowest to shift overall.
What are the best methods of pushing that forward as much as possible each day? Any particular mode better than others in terms of XP gained?
get a group of clan members and play pvp that is the fastest way if you fill a pvp game with all clan member it goes up quickly
Most of the experience comes from simply being in the match (going 10/0 for example didn't seem to add much experience). As a result I believe Waterfront would be the fastest because it is the shortest mode (25 kills to Observatory's 50, and capture and hold matches take much, much longer unless one side absolutely stomps).
Get good. literally. scores are 1 to 1 for clan experience iirc
Have they fixed clan xp from shadow wars yet? Because if they haven't, the best advice is: play anything that is not a shadow war.
Just do what most clans do, get a bunch of clan members in pvp and take turns killing each other not only will your clan rank go up but you will complete pursuits and whatnot. I stopped playing pvp because of this and seeing it one too many times goin on. You'll see them in small groups on the edges of the map away from the fighting just shooting each other or you can find them by the vehicles taking turns to get their vehicle kills and or using the turret for turret kills. Like how hard is it get a vehicle and then go to where your clanies are waiting away from capture points.Quote:

I've been in 2 different clans and we help each other get the pursuits done in this way. Why do you think it's cheap? I don't understand your reasoning. I know other players in other clans that have helped each other like this too.Quote:

As far as player kills/headshots, I didn't get or want help with that. But I did get help with turret & vehicle kills. And I'll still help newer players get them too.
And to the OP: Best event to use for clan ranking is in Waterfront. It's the fastest one.
@Tekrunner - Shadow War contributions are still broken (or so miniscule it's not worth the time).
for each clan member in your group it counts 1x more the amount of points you would receive i believe. So if you are in a group of 4 and all are clan members and you receive 10k points towards PvP normally, then in your group you would receive 40k. Thats each of you would get that amount not just you. So instead of you guys going into the game individually and each making 10k, group up and each of you will make 40k.
Like i said it used to be like that. Dont know if its still the same. Pretty sure it is still like that.
Host some clan PvP activity nights. It is what worked for us. Also got a bunch of people who didn't like PvP to give it a try.
Its a Cheap Exploit and not the way the game was intended to be played, if you cant understand that then perhaps you shouldn't be playing .!.Quote:

You know come to think of it just to satisfy your hate i will say i will exploit whatever i want whenever i want , OMG im such a horrible and unrespectable person...LOL.
I was referring to another thread where you claimed "people who do not have money to burn are failures at life" - to which I strongly disagree; I see you have yet to remove your head from your anal cavity, hence you are the yoga master :)Quote:

LOL. I remember that comment. Highly offensive, heavily opinionated. Makes me think someone just likes to be offensive.Quote:

Hardly an appropriate comparison.Quote:

Whereas I would just sit there and lay on the horn until they got the hell out of the way. :)Quote:

I've gotten half of them done in less than a months play and I don't even like PvP.Quote:

This is actually much easier to do now because of players scaling and vehicles not scaling. As I mentioned in my thread in the PvP forum it's getting turret kills that's problematic now.Quote:

Sincerely, Thank You
Keep in mind I said "if PvP didn't have so many issues". I can't really fault a player for wanting to get through their PvP pursuits as fast as possible in a game where PvP mechanics are as broken as they are in this game, even if its through staged killings. The devs are as much if not more to blame as the players for creating a situation that takes away a lot of incentive to just engage in actual PvP to get pursuits.Quote:

That means no Climbing the Ranks of Echelon III or IV for me either.
I can live with that but a player who wants to cap their EGO rating doesn't really have much choice but to do staged turret kills if they need those pursuits unless and until the Defiance team implements vehicle scaling in PvP. Given they haven't even added shimmer to cloaks months after saying they would do so, I'm not holding my breath on that one.
You mean like this guy?!Quote:

Hi everyone,
Please remember to keep your comments respectful and constructive at all times on our forums, even when you disagree with others.
Thank you!
The PVP is a mess in this game, everyone does whatever they want to anyway and they've already said it's a low priority to even look at anything in it. If you can actually get people organized and to actually follow instructions then you're not exploiting anything, you my friends, are winning.
It is that mess of PVP that makes me want to plow through as fast as possible. I've already done all of the Season 1 pursuits, except finishing Rise of the Clans II that requires the clan to reach level 5 in all activities. After grinding 50 hours out of PVP and doing 1000 rep worth of Echelon contracts, I'd prefer not to have to delve to long in that mess again.
Yeah, pretty much... :)Quote:
