Seems now everyone is coming here. Is the other clan dead? Could I please request to join? PSN ID: baconcow1812. Thank you.

It's not dead, but a thread was never made. This was done in a moment of "I guess there's no gaf group for PS4 players with a thread here". I joined that one too just in case.

This one is specifically tailored for PS4 players and also has specific threads within Bungie.net so you can play with people as close to you as possible if you want. Just a very specific GAF clan. Similar to how GTAV had 360 and PS3 clans.

The other one accepts people of all consoles available.

Applied. PSN is on my profile, but my Bnet name is the same as GAF.

Does Bungie finally let us use custom banners? I ask because I will make some for the group.
 
Honestly quite ridiculous nobody is joining the original DestinyGaf group. As it can be split up into multiple groups which could be platform centric. We could all rep gaf with a big ass crew on 4 different platforms. No need for a seperate PS4 clan, as it could just be under the original DestinyGAF moniker.

Both clans serve the same purpose anyway. Just my two cents.
 
Need Admins for the following Time Zone

Available positions: West, Central US (1 of each)
Western, Central and Eastern Europe (1 for Western, 2 for Central and Eastern)
Japan, South America, Africa (2 of each)
and Australia. (1 needed)

PM me if you're interested, and are responsible, willing to help out. You'll be responsible for adding new people. creating official threads and keep order within the group.

Thank you.

Edit: West Admin position is now unavailable.

I'll say it again, let's get a mod's opinion on it. If a mod says they'd rather join the two, then this thread can be redone to point to the other GAF group so all members move into that, as it does have seniority. But the all encompassing clan (which I repeat had no thread so it's a fault of the adminstration) didn't take the initiative. Until then let's avoid having people come from one thread and theoretically thread whining. Which is what it is.

The original clan did not take any initiative and had no thread because there was no rush nor any reason to do so and the clan had only just been created. The game releases in september, not next week. Also, when this thread was created, the creators of the original were offline. They haven't even had a chance to react. Don't turn this on them being 'lazy'.

Happy to hear at least something is going to be done about the confusion.

I really need to stop coming in here.

Admittedly there was no rush, and I am not denying that. In fact I was surprised when it was made. But the Beta isn't far off most likely. Point is that a group was made and kept in the confines of a thread that people who didn't play the alpha really had little reason to check among the other threads. When this thread was made any of the admins could've made a request to a mod to put a stop to it, or a thread could've been made to counteract it before it grew.

Now it's pretty big. If a mod says it's too early, then both 'clans' really have no claim. If a mod says to join them, that can be easily done. But this is a case of "you snooze you lose" I'm afraid, unless a mod says otherwise. And please don't take that as negative.

I really do agree with this. The game comes out in September.. The clan was literally just created as the Alpha went up, so I see no reason not to use it. No need to make a new thread for it, since the other Destiny thread is basically the Destiny hype thread. So yea.. We could get a mods opinion on it but I feel they shouldn't decide on it either. I will be using the DestinyGAF clan as that's the one that doesnt mention a specific platform ingame and it's the original one, which can easily be splt up into multiple ggrous with the gaffers who play on ps3/360/xbone/ps4. The name under your gamertag ingame will say DestinyGAF and not DestinyGAF Ps4.

If someone who is planning on getting Destiny for the following platforms.
PS3, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE
please make a group for that specific platform in this format "DestinyGAF PS4" and put the option as add new members with approval from admin.

So:
DestinyGAF PS3
DestinyGAF X360
DestinyGAF XONE or XBONE if you prefer. lol
Click to expand...

So like stuff like this doesnt make any sensr. This can all just go under the main Destinygaf clan which can be split up into these platform groups. There is no need for 4 seperate clans.
 
people please claim your name if you havent done so.

these has been sitting here since Dave Chappelle Show last aired.

Let's get an official opinion on it, because until then it seems like whining to come here to say "it's not fair it's not fair". It can be easily remedied if a mod gives the call.
 
can someone help make some banners for our thread? Please and thank you!

something that say "DestinyGAF PS4 Official Thread" would be awesome
 
I dont care either way im just saying its dumb as hell to have a platform specific CLAN if the original CLAN can be split up into GROUPS like PS4/360/XBONE/PS3. I'm saying it doesnt really make sense.......I'm not whining at all Admiral :/. Im a member of both groups too lol

You can split a group into Clans. Not until more groups.

Though apparently you can only have 500 members in a clan but unlimited in a group.

You see the problem there? What if we have more than 500 PS4 players? 700 Xbox 360 players?

It can make sense. It works better with proper management if a single console is the home of a group. It worked with GTAV. Admittedly that had member caps, and I am told Destiny groups have no maximum amount of members (besides the alpha) so it is not entirely the same. But GTAV had at least like two ps3 groups and two 360 groups.

Say you have a thread in GAF. If it's all encompassing then people will have to go page after page to make sure they find somebody to add to their friends list, or to play with because there's no assurance their console will be the discussed one in the last couple of pages.

If you do it via the Bungie site then there will have to be either a mega-thread for each console, or many threads per console, thereby making searching around the place for what you need similar. Making console-centric crews/groups is not unheard of, it's a well-known practice and it has been done before in mega forums such as this. It wasn't known to begin with, and still isn't 100% clear, how groups will work in Destiny. Do I get to join them like in GTAV and Halo 2? Or is it simply a community and we get to co-op via our own means?

Again I'm all for joining the two into one, because the beta is most likely a month or two away at the farthest. But let's not pretend it doesn't make sense, when it has been done before. Mistake or not, it is already done and there is a sizable amount of people joining both. Nobody did it out of spite.
 
Applied.

BungieID: Lucent85
PSN ID: Lucent85

Can't believe the're almost 350 members in there. That's a huge clan. lol

agree, we should wait till at least after the beta to see what group people prefer more. there is no rush.

Mods have rarely if ever intervened in the dealings of community clans like this.

Which is good. It should be on you to know whether the thing you're doing is dumb or not.

This clan grew because there was a thread made specifically for it and the name is similar enough that many people don't even realize it's a different group. Most people are just joining both of them to hedge their bets.

It's unlikely that a mod will step in on this.

They can intervene to join two threads into one, or move a thread into community, or close two similar threads/discussions. Most of which can be intervened in here. Also, there's no need to start questioning the intelligence of people based on human error from both sides, that's a tad petty.

The fact this had a thread made for it and the other didn't means most did not know about the other until after, hardly a case of mistaking identity if the other was not even known about until after they had joined here.

Coming in to this thread and moaning is not going to solve this.

And it can all be solved by just making a second PS4 clan within the DestinyGAF group. With the old DestinyGAF group there would be both an all-encompassing place for GAFers from all platforms and divisions / communities under that based on platforms. There is no problem with the idea of console-sorted clans, the point here is that this can happen in the original DestinyGAF clan and does not need additional groups to be made. The only real difference that creating separate groups for every platform makes is the ability to make even finer divisions under them, but this comes at the cost of the central DestinyGAF hub.

And yes, there are still unknowns on how the clan system will work, that is also part of the reason I have repeatedly called for having a discussion and putting current recruiting efforts on hold. But I rest my case. I'm going to sleep now.

I still like you, DestinyGAF!
 
Great explanation by Tiemen as to why there are 2 groups.

- DestinyGAF group is created on Bungie.net in anticipation of the Alpha-group being deleted with the Alpha site shutting down. The group is created by Raishin, who promises to pass it on to PsychoRaven when he returns. There is some misunderstanding ( PsychoRaven thinking someone has ‘stolen’ DestinyGAF ), but outside of that no problems arise. A new thread is not yet made for the group because there is not yet any pressure to do so and the people most interested in Destiny are in the Alpha Withdrawal thread anyways. The creators of this original DestinyGAF go offline.

- Shadownet creates DestinyGAF PS4 to solve the ‘problem’ of not being able to know what platform someone is playing on. Some people point out that this problem does not exist, because a single group can be divided in separate clans ( and thus the original DestinyGAF can be divided according to platform without the need for creating a separate new group ), but the recruiting goes on anyways, ignoring the criticism. Both sides repeat themselves several times, but nothing changes. Because there is no thread for the original DestinyGAF and because the DestinyGAF PS4 thread does not have a proper disclaimer, people get confused and some join this new DestinyGAF not knowing about the original one or just to be sure.

- People continue to be confused at how the clan system on Bungie.net works and do not read posts where they are explained. Confusion regarding the clans continues with some people proposing either one to shut down, some pushing for a poll or discussion, and others proposing that there should be as many clans as we want there to be

- I cry in a corner.

- I make a fancy banner and spend way too much effort in writing a recap.​
