What will clans be able to do

As i said... look into planetside 2.

And while i think there should be at least some friendly fire. Think of it this way, how many mmorpg s actually have friendly fire? None im aware of...

Speaking of friendly fire I know you can hit yourself with your own grenades.. can you hit your friends with it?

I don't think so. I remember in the ign video at the end in the instance he was throwing the sticky grenades that make you move slower all over the place but i did not see the others in the group getting slowed by going through it only him.

Yeah I have to agree. Unfortunate fact is friendly fire may make it more enjoyable for 100 people but it only takes 1 **** to wreck it for an equal number.

Yeah and we ALL know how people like to troll...

Since the servers are shard based, being in a clan makes you more likely to be in the same phase with your clanmates as opposed to random strangers who might not like to group for things. To me that right there is a benefit to being in a clan.

A dangerous design flaw... Hopefully something that will be fixed/changed come release.

Just out of curiosity, how do you view this as a design flaw and why do you think it would be changed for release?

Personally, I find that not having ff on all the time is something almost all shooters either give you the option to have on, or do not include in the game at all. In my experience it is the most popular preference among most people that play shooters, aside from your more competitive crowd. I just don't see an up-side to being able to kill people in an open world environment at will. It would deter a lot of people from playing if they are just going to get killed randomly when they are trying to complete a task.

I believe he was commenting on my post, he finds having the shards give priority to putting you together with your clan over random people a design flaw

Actually I was 3/4 asleep and completely thinking about something else entirely when I wrote the comment. Go figure I have a "here's your sign moment" and I get attention. Feel free to disregard my moment of fail.

Your fail has been forgiven.

Getting into your friends shards is a good thing. Means we can play with our friends and who wouldn't want that?

that's fairly easy to do. But I won't go into details because of the NDA.
