One ELITE clan leader's Top Ten list for Beachhead to address regarding ELITE
-
Like (13)
Here's a new top ten of things this clan leader would like to see Beachhead pull out of its hat...
1) Make ALL clan ops results viewable, including the placing. The fact we can't see all the results of a counted operation is inexcusable. I know that this would allow us to see how many clans are getting XP for doing nothing but enlisting, but we should still expect this.
2) Create/maintain a FULL clan leaderboard/ranking system. I want to know how the "other guys" are doing. This includes clan op results and badges. There is zero point in showing us rankings on win % and K/D... those are pointless.
3) Allow the ability to use a clan's emblem as each player's emblem IN GAME and elsewhere. I think it's a travesty this hasn't been done yet. Make the time the clan leader spent designing their emblem on your crappy emblem generator worthwhile. And let us show some pride in our clan, dammit!
4) Post clan ops that make sense from a team-based competition standpoint. Full squad wins counted during a specified timeframe, etc. Quit acting like hardcore players are fringe. We count too, dammit. Make even one op HC S&D wins, and I guarantee a ton of clans would be happy.
5) Reward level 50 clans with a new clan tag color. Red, perhaps.
6) Tweak the medalling system. (Gold is too easy to achieve, and yet those at the top end of gold deserve more credit.) Reward the top 3% (or 2% even) of clans with more XP and increase the Champion XP (or better yet, merge them into a new medal level-- Diamond or Platinum, perhaps-- and do away with worrying about "who won" questions).
7) Make it easier to see a clan member's clan op participation/placing in clan. I'm tired of trying to track down non-participators op by op. Should be able to see what a person's done for our clan with a simple click of a button. You can track everything else... why not this, too?
8) Show the finishing percentage for the clan in each op. (SO VERY easy to do... and yet, still isn't there.)
9) Allow us to make other members co-leaders!!! Make a new rank that can enlist the clan in ops, send invites/accept applications, etc. Managing a large clan with just one person is dumb. You can fix this easily.
10) Open up clan challenges. NOTE: This is the LAST thing on my list. Those who didn't pay for ELITE can't complain about not having these sooner. As a paid member... I think you should have had these open LONG ago. By the time they open, my clan is most likely going to be level 50. So for those in my clan that weren't dumb and paid for ELITE will not have been able to contribute at all. Sometimes, it's simply a matter of too little, too late.
And there they are. Ten things Beachhead should work on. In my opinion, of course. I'd not wish to speak for any other clan leaders out there.
This is definitly needed...
We are also missing the data for the 11 Clan Ops ![]()
Great list @SilentDHBI
I have to say, as a Co-Clan Leader of a high ranking clan those are some great things to add
!
To solve the Co-Leader problem we added a new Gamertag to our clan that myself and co-leader can both log into. Problem with that is it takes up a slot on our roster. I'd love to see a Leaderboard in place that shows where all clans rank in performance in Clan Ops.
Make it happen Beachead! ![]()
Adding a gamertag that can be shared is a good solution. That had never even crossed my mind. It's far from perfect, but one slot shouldn't kill a clan. Trust me... being at 100 isn't all that great. I'd rather have 75 keepers than 100 that need babysitting.
MLG gamebattles had it best.
-Leader
-Co-Leader (s): as many as you would like their to be: basically all of the capabilities as the leader.
-Co-Captain (s): ability to sign-up for posted matches
-Recruiter (s): a lot of clans this was not a serious role, but for those serious about it a recruiter really helped.
-Member (s): straightforward.
I have no idea why they didn't implement this idea originally. Having a 100 member clan run by just one person is beyond ridiculous. Especially since ELITE is as good at communicating with many members as two cans and a string.
BH should add most of the above.
Will they?
Nope.
They're too busy working on their Beta for Elite due in 2014.
That's a good use of their time to work on a beta for 3.0. Since I'm pretty damn sure 2.0 is going to be as bad as 1.0. But time will tell, I suppose.
all great ideas.
Can they please include an easy messaging system so that i can contact all clan members .
One problem with that... NOTHING is ever "easy" for ELITE. I would have added that to the list, but we've already gone the facebook route and it works fine. No sense in asking for something they should have done initially that can have an adequate replacement. I tried to stick with things that are simple (for the most part) and should be easily within Beachhead's ability to get done. I too would like a better way on ELITE to communicate, but it would take away too much time that they're already short on to produce something that, at this stage of the process, would be too little, too late.
I just use the clan message and it will show up on xbox for everyone if they look at whos online in the clan. Not sure if this works on all systems though.
Instead of working on anything anyone's suggested, we got a DLC Depot! Aren't WE lucky?!?!? Seriously, Beachhead, what's going on there that you don't want the ELITE community to know? We already know that you are completely incapable of being honest about how you're spending your time. AND that you cannot be bothered to listen to any of your PAID customers. Not paying. PAID. Please give us feedback ASAP regarding these things.
The leaderboard I was referring to in my top ten was a CLAN OP leaderboard. Showing clans' KDR and Win % and other "meaningless" stats doesn't do anything. Quit dodging the fact that the ops are a farce. We all already know it. Let us SEE who has won each op. Let us SEE who's doing well in ops. Beachhead, pull your head out of the sand and look around. All of the ELITE players know you're ducking this. We deserve an honest, specific response to missing op data and no clan op leaderboard!
I think you did eloquently speak for us.....well put.
This is a wishlist, that I really want to be in ELiTE 2.0
- Fully Integrated in Black ops II (no app needed)
- Ability to make clans PS3 guys with Xbox guys/Xbox guys with PS3 guys, and send messages to them via ELiTE.
- More Earnings in clan levels: One Free Map Pack (for those that not have ELiTE), new maps(could be Classic ones), Clan Guns, Clan Camo, Clan Emblem in Gun...
- Once you become a ELiTE premium member, ALL map packs from ALL previous games will be available for FREE.
- Hardened Edition to be the only way to get Founder membership/status
- Guys that buy hardened edition get all DLC one week earlier than guys that buy ELiTE
- All DLC to have a definied release date(example: "Every DLC launch in the first day of the month")
- Do not feature a Content Calendar, but get a default number of pieces every month (example: "we don´t need to know what will come, we only know that will be two pieces of DLC every month")
- Do not make a announce of what we will get, lets be a surprise
- Give a name to map packs not "content collection 1,2,3,4"
- THIS ONE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE BUT... make guys on Xbox play with guys of PS3
- clan vs clan playlist 6v6 of two different clans
- Game Competitions, clan vs clan in one unique match featuring one round of CFT, one of TDM, one of SABOTAGE, one of DOMINATION and the final one SnD.(This mode give Clan XP) its similar to gang wars of Max Payne 3
- Clan Leadboards (see what is the best clan of the world based on championships:)
- Clan Championship
- If you win a Clan Championship your clan get a medal, a prize, Clan XP, and rank up on Clan leadboards
Thats all guys if you have more ideas post it on comentaries, and do not forget to tweet this page to @candyslexia @IWmarkrubin @ATVIsupport @michaelcondrey @beachheadstudio @infinityward @treyarch @davidvonderhaar and everyone that you want
Sounds like you want a gift of your choice every month, delivered to your doorstep..
This list is intended to help Beachhead fix ELITE now. Not for 2.0. I couldn't care less about 2.0. It's irrelevant in my book. The thing I've already paid my money for is what I'd prefer they focus on to get it working properly and to an acceptable standard.
If you want to put a wishlist for 2.0, feel free. Personally, I'm not paying for ELITE again. And asking them to cross-platform Xbox and PS3? I don't know why you think this would ever happen... The cross-platforming experiment failed miserably with Shadowrun (Xbox & PC), so I highly doubt anyone would ever bother with it again.
bump
double bump
all great ideas more clan xp would be great...small clans get the shaft cause who really wants to join a clan just starting out there should be more ways to level up clans besides the weekend ops I mean really most of us have lives and can't play on the weekends but the different leader positions is a must do for elite if the clan leader forgets to enlist and i does the clan no good there should be a poll done for it
Forget the poll... They should just do these things. Most of them are things that should have been implemented at launch. I wouldn't mind as much if they'd actually have an ongoing interaction with their PAID customers. But they won't.
this is the correct llist
I think I should have added an eleventh... TALK TO YOUR PAYING CLIENTELE. This also should have come at launch. For some reason, they don't think we're worth talking to unless we have a problem addressed in the FAQs that someone whines about on the forums.
Thank you to everyone for your feedback. There are many useful suggestions from this thread and others that are being shared with the team and will have an ongoing impact on development.
I agree with Co-Leaders and other ranks its very annoying having to manage the whole thing by myself.
i like most of your ideas especially the co-leader thing but, "gold too easy"... hold up lol we have won gold with 3 people and most of the time our 5th and 6th scores are very small however, it is VERY difficult for most clans to get 5-6 players to play full 3 hrs or to just show up lol so let's not change that
The fact that you can get gold with 3 people is the problem. Gold should be something that it requires 6 people giving full effort to acheive. My clan has gotten gold with a full squad when two of us would have gotten gold by themselves. That's a sad state of affairs. The scoring system for clan ops is ludicrous and isn't a competition at all. They're basically giving away gold, as long as six people play for three hours.
Number one is officially off the table. Beachhead accidentally "overwrote" the data.
Good post ....But you missed the ability to be able to send a message to "ALL Clan Members" this would be real helpfull when it comes to reminding members of upcoming matches and times ......
Very true. But most clans have already resorted to facebook or other "messaging" sites. No sense in asking for something we can fix ourselves.
True .......... but it is a wish list
Yes, but adding that functionality would require much more work than they'd be able to do in this incarnation. Messaging is something they can hopefully add for 2.0. Although I won't be using it either way. I wanted to make a list of things that shouldn't be too difficult to incorporate into the ELITE we're currently using.
this game was rushed so there is gonna be flaws everything isnt perfect, they will never get it all 100 percent right, just like mw3 black ops 2 will prob be a bomb to since they are rushing everything they need to take their time and make a better game
I tweaked number one a bit since the 11 missing ops' data is lost to dovetail a bit better with #2.
Very nice ideas. I do wish they would make some sort of clan tournament to win instead of the capture most flags and so on. How they would do this im not really sure as there are so many clans. Guess you would need divisions based on skill or stats or something. Doubtful this is gonna happen considering they have so much they should fix with elite already. And i say should because i don`t see them fixing most of the things.
well said , my biggest dissapointement is having no co-leaders..and obviously the 9 other arguments go with out saying
