Suggestion: A Specialized Clan Tab in Destiny's Menus
As anyone who is managing or simply just in a clan knows joining up with fellow clanmates is a pain in Destiny at the moment. You need to friend request clan members you want to meet up with in order to reasonably create fireteams. While I have no problem friending clan members (you guys rock!) it sorta adds unneeded clutter to a friend list used across all the games you play. What Destiny needs is a separate Clan tab, which functions like the Roster tab. The idea behind this Clan tab is to provide all members an easy way to group up with fellow members without the need for friending a bunch of folks. Especially for you 50+ member clans!
[u][b]Here is what I propose this new Clan tab has:[/b][/u]
-[b]Simple clan message[/b]. Long enough for a sentence or two, just to let people know about events or new members, etc.
-[b]List of online members[/b]. Maybe a list of all members (offline and online) but that just seems like cutter. Online members are more important.
-[b]List of fireteams[/b]. By this I'm thinking that clan members can create fireteams and describe them as PvE/PvP/Strikes, whatever. This fireteam will be listed, showing it's description, open slots, and maybe level range but that could possibly go in the description. This will provide players who log in a quick and easy way to see who's running what. Someone will be able to see that Raylon is leading a Strike fireteam to the Devils Lair, and that CrucibleMasterBlaster is about to hop into PvP and needs 2 more members. There can be a way to quick-join on this list as well, likely a similar set of options when you select a player in the Roster tab.
That doesn't seem like too much on one screen to me but to be perfectly honest I'd be ok with just a list of clan members :D I'm REALLY hoping for a decent way to connect with my clanmates. Friending everyone is not the most ideal method for this since it can be sooo much more streamlined. It is however totally possible that this just wasn't in the Alpha/Beta but I figured the idea might catch the eyes of Bungie.
Any ways, I've given my two cents on the matter. I'm sure that other clan leaders and members may have some ideas of their own that we could add to this so leave a comment below!

It's that time of the year again! BUMP!
-
Obligatory bump, this tends to be forgotten when discussing the issues with the rest of the game. It can and should be improved.
-
We've gone without a bump for quite a while!
-
The bumping shall continue!
-
This needs to be bumped everyday.
-
Bumping because...alas...no clan tab in the final game. [u]YET[/u]
-
This sounds amazing and definitely needs to be implemented, because what's there now is awful, since there's nothing there.
-
Great call with the clan tab! It'll allow groups (even smaller ones) to party up more quickly and organize themselves in a way that might not be possible otherwise!

1 ReplyI suggested the same thing to my clan, everyone seems to think its a great idea, I don't think it will be in the game at launch, but as long as people want it then I think Bungie will do something similar to what you said. I also thought that the ships could be your social point for linking with clan members etc. When you were floating in space between missions in the beta it seemed like a wasted opportunity for uses for your ship, maybe when your on this 'home screen' you could access a computer terminal in you ship to link to a clan menu as you described. Then when a fireteam IS formed, you could see your teams ships fly into the screen behind yours, I think it'd be a nice way to intergrate this without breaking the game façade.

This is a great idea
-
My clan is small enough that this is a non-issue for me. However, it wouldn't hurt to have either.
-
Can't agree more ... lets make it happen.
-
I am so incredibly ashamed I didn't think of this before reading your post, well done sir. Many good ideas, I hope something like this is implemented.
