Allow us to create clan sized parties with 12 man spots

[onyx talon]

Clan nights with clan squads can be difficult to maintain as normal party sizes are limited to 8 while clan squads go up to 12.

This creates the process of 4 people being outside of the party having to join the game after the main party has entered and join the correct team and clan squad.

My suggestion is to allow an option on the menus to create a clan party with a max of 12 spots. Joining games while in a clan party auto creates a clan squad for you as well.

I totally agree, the main blocker for groups I run in my clan is that the clan squad dies every time the map switches on the server. Mangaging parties separately from the clan squad is always a hassle. Another suggestion would be to show all clan parties/squads in the clan screen for easy interaction between all clan members

@foggy wren If clan squads were slightly easier to manage, it would make clan games a much more consistent experience

[foggy wren]

oh ya

[timid oak]

plz... me need...

[chilly ridge]

Getting people to rejoin the clan squad each map is such a hassle 🙂

[timid oak]

I mean the consideration that the game can handle a 127v 127 lobby, a bigger party is necessary.

For example, what if there is like a "clan wars" type event. Are folks going to have to split up parties and then split up squads?

This is needed.

[onyx talon]

get your clans to upvote this guys so devs will see it

[onyx talon]

Or even input your way you think Clan squads should exist

[chilly ridge]

I think the easiest system would be a Clan Party that auto makes a clan squad. Integrating this into the clan UI would be nice, but not required to solve our largest issues. I am sharing to my clan definitely

If Clan Parties are too hard, I would also be happy if the game auto created the clan squads each time the server switches, and brings people in

[onyx talon]

Daily reminder that clan squads can't all be in one party

[chilly ridge]

Thanks for pushing this. Any improvements to the interactions here would be a great boon to clans as a whole. Games like Battlebit live and die based on having fun people to play with, so this will help keep the game healthy. Clans kept Planetside alive for a long time, and Battlebit should have healthly clans as well.

Group play makes this game shine!

More than 8 friends should be able to party up together.

[chilly ridge]

My clan runs Friday night ops with 12-16 people, and managing a clan squad is the worst part of the experience. Any improvement to this is greatly desired

[foggy wren]

oh yes this man battlebits

[onyx talon]

Bump this up further. When audio gets fixed, my clan will be playing again and running into this issue nightly..

[chilly ridge]

Clan Parties are a definite need, lets keep this going

[onyx talon]

Bump

[chilly ridge]

Would greatly appreciate some look at the clan system with this suggestion

[onyx talon]

Oki please take a look at this

[chilly ridge]

Bumping the clan parties, just looking for some help in organizing large groups of clan members in the game

[onyx talon]

Clans and group play need more love. Addressing this would be a start

[oblique oracle]

I want this to happen as well, but given the whole situation with reddit and their extreme hate for clans, I doubt it would go through.

I’ll ✅ but not optimistic about it being looked into after the update. Maybe it’s just me on the copium though

[onyx talon]

Hate for clans?

[oblique oracle]

basically good clans get accused of cheating all the time on reddit. Pretty common. But as a result there's a lot of pushback for clan shit from that crowd and they seem to be as vocal as us

[sand rover]

this isnt even a buff to clans its just a qol fix

and its crazy how angry people on reddit are

[onyx talon]

It'd be a huge QOL improvement. Honestly make it just a group wide change. Party sizes should be increased to 12

[sand rover]

true make all squads 12 tbh

[onyx talon]

Hope on this being added in the upcoming update is low whenever that actually comes out.. but there's a big chance this gets seen by oki and actually introduced as a QOL change and hopefully kick starts a better group play teamwork rework/revision

[shell moat]

I think a better solution would be a platoon-like unit with individual sections/squads within

[chilly ridge]

Let's get some focus on clan squads/parties to make it a bit easier to manage playing with a group of 12

[onyx talon]

Why allow a 12 man clan squad if the party can't be 8 oki

[onyx talon]

Bumping up again for visual..

Tagging @vestal finch for visibility and questions.

Is there any clan squad or clan gameplay updates or rework in the pipeline for this upcoming update or the next one after that?

[vestal finch]

With the upcoming update?

[onyx talon]

The slated for April ish

[leaden valley]

Well, bumping isn't allowed

Therefore, don't do it again

[onyx talon]

🤷

Make party sizes to match clan squad sizes

[stiff coral]

That would still require some method of queueing everyone together. 12 man parties is an easier implement than an entirely different platoon system.

[onyx talon]

Does not solve the issue of a 12 man clan squad with only 8 man parties. This game doesn't need the complexity of PlanetSide liked platoons.

[chilly ridge]

Was just reminded in the recent clan night I hosted how difficult it is to manage clan squads with the current system. Any development to make clans have a little more functionality would be great

[foggy wren]

plz devs help us! the easier it is the better for everyone including the games health

[chilly ridge]

Clan parties also would help with finding when your other clan members are playing. Currently you can only incidentally find clan members by happening to be on the same server. Clan parties could show for all clan members in the main menu
