The main focus of this clan, whatever the experience of it's member's, is primarily the actual ability to complete any and all tasks as a CLAN. The time frames to complete these tasks will largely depend on the member's abilities and without question having the patience toward each other's gaming style. Hence the reason it's an adult only Clan, because too many times have I myself, or been told stories about fire teams prejudging the abilities of a player, or having no patience at key parts of a raid. It's annoying, frustrating and is not the reason, I set out on the epic quest to begin with. With this in mind, the presumption, I don't think is far fetched, to state, there may still be a few adult gamer's out there in the same situations I have found myself in during my destiny experience, thus far. Which inevitably bring's me to the purpose of starting a clan in the first place! The preverbial cluster f#$@ of clan formations happen, with not many actually exceeding an expectation. Sound familiar? 1. Mature Clan! My idea of a Mature clan, varies greatly it seems, from those forum posts advertising exactly that! 2. The cliques have been formed, so the new member's, get lost in the haze. So you still end up playing alone. 3. The clan's are inactive. 4. People join, great! Then proceed to complete raids, bounties, etc...with non clan members? 5. The silent activity, deafens its 100+ clan members. 6. Elitest Attitudes, ruin the experience. 7. That one know all, that just won't STFU. Therefore, 8. You still find yourself LFG to be able to accomplish the harder tasks and achieve the better gear and are left wondering what the purpose of joining a clan for in the first place? 9. Find yourself, still playing alone. Gone are the days, when you didn't need a clan or anybody else for that matter, as you could solo Crota, still maintain the high end gear, and felt self accomplished. (nobody enjoys some little shit saying stand here, shoot this, shoot that, while they complete the raid, I actually play for the entertainment value, not to babysit someone else's kids, I have my own to take care of). Once the entertainment is diminished, the game disappears. I am the one who purchased my ps4, not my Father, Brother, Uncle, Mother, Sister's goat or whoever, which entitles me to play my way. I really don't care if it takes me the year to achieve the better weapons and gear. If I die a million times smacking Crota or if my wife dusts around me as I continually try and try to get on that platform, I laugh, I cry, I scream endlessly at the tv and am surprised the controller hasn't gone threw the screen yet, but I refrain and live to fight another day. I personally enjoy PvE and will help anybody with anything, be it, leveling a new character, or having a crack at the new raid. That's not to say I haven't participated in PvP, I enjoy IB if the gear looks good and would even give Trials a go, I'm normally always first blood! That'll be laid on the floor, guardian down, so patience is key. Im here to have fun and enjoy the experience as a clan. I personally, don't see a point in joining a clan to still remain a solo player, whilst sometimes it is nice to have the solitude again. The whole idea here is to form friendships with like minded mature people, to relax and enjoy the game together week in, week out without needing the LFG system again. A mic is not pre requisite to joining, however some form of communication is, Destiny Clan Forum, Psn messaging, just something to allow people to know what you need and when you will be online to complete it. Real life dictates our game time, so nobody is committed to anything. The clan will remain relatively small, to maintain a close knit environment. I'm not looking for numbers in a clan and if your on my friends list, it's because we play, if not , why be there? My toleration level has a very fine line, so you play as a clan, for a clan, or not at all. Removal is swift and painless and I won't bat an eyelid. If you are continuing to read this, I actually applaud you, whilst I do apologize for the rants, the sarcasm is real and needs no apology. But if you wish to remain in this clan, I would make sure to read this next statement. My biggest irritation, witnessing thirsty clan members, completing raids with non clan member. Why be in a clan at all then? I don't particularly want your invite at the end boss? For so many reasons, I don't give a shit why someone had to leave that fire team, or why you didn't complete it. So ONLY join if you wish to play as a clan, for all its members and are willing to communicate in some form. Just request to join, don't post asking me to add you to the clan, you can figure that out yourself and if you don't read this and do post then you'll be waiting a long time. I'm not one to tolerate bullshit, as you will see or find out if you stay long enough. Common courtesy usually means some form of introduction, So when you join, as the idea here is to keep this adults only, create a party chat, invite an admin to it, and say hi, write a message with your request, something. Manners cost nothing. The clan will be monitored to keep it small, unique and active. So anyone joining who did not read this, or ignore the above information, to just sit, say nothing and expect help, will do so at their own peril and just as quickly as they joined will just as quickly find themselves in need of another clan. Thanks for reading and if you don't join, all the best anyway. The name is Lazarus Effect and the link is below: https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/1321374
