mapster shouldnt be a clan, but more of a site that host several clans, as they already do mapping groups, if you can join multiple clans then yes, otherwise no one would join it. no one much anyways,
I play melee, and yes this is something I am really looking forward to. Being able to join a clan and show-off its tag while playing with other people in it or playing in tournaments/ladder, without having to use your one and only name change will be great.
If Blizzard adds clan support it will greatly improve the community. However they shouldn't let anyone and their mother create a clan. There should be standards and requirements. For example you have to have a certain ranking to form a clan, an authenticated account on bnet, as well as a minimum amount of team members on battle net. Instead of having players of various leagues in one clan the clans league should be determined by collective gameplay statistics as well as individual rankings.
By supporting clans directly on the client Blizzard can keep better track of stats that can be used for other new features such as:
- Blizzard can host several weekend tournament events directly on the battle.net servers in which clans and individuals of certain rankings can join pending on their statistics on batte net. The prizes do not have to be cash but special in game items for the Dota or credits for the blizzard store.
It would be cool to see a clan play league as well to definitively determine who is the greatest starcraft master of them all.
I am looking forward to seeing if blizzard can do it right.
We’ll be back soon!
The Blizzard family of websites is currently undergoing maintenance to improve your browsing experience. Thank you for your patience!
:(
I posted something on their forum, then clicked on the "Custom Games" link forum, and it gave me that error, lol. Guess I posted the second before they threw that up.
Hiya guys! Cloaken, one of the community managers at Blizzard, has just confirmed that clans will be coming to HotS!
You can read the extremely detailed and informative post below:
So, for those of you who play melee games- is this something you like? Or is it not really a big deal to you?
@zeldarules28: Go
I think melee or not, it'll spark some map making clans.
EDIT: Which I believe some of the major sites are gonna/want to take up on.
@Enexy: Go
That's actually a nice idea.... We'll have to make a mapster clan ^.^

But this was announced like 5 months ago, right? http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/5366967/

@michaelknives:
huge restrictions on what we can and can't do.
sounds like Blizzard.
personally i hope they dont do this. but they probably will.
I won't believe it until they're in-game and people are complaining about how could blizz mess up such simple thing as clans.
Or I'm wrong and blizz won't delay anything and give us exactly what everyone wanted like they always do :3
@Taintedwisp: Go
I would join SC2mapster's clan... And I'm sure a lot others would ;x
The ranking idea is good for ladder but completely and utterly stupid for anything other.
For instance, I play ladder on SEA, however I would want a Clan for my custom map and I have no intention of playing ladder on NA.
You give me what exactly?

Think I could be quick enough to take 'Liquid' or 'EG'?
@Triceron: Go
I'll help you setup Liquid, rofl.
