    Hello [NNG],

    If any of you do not know me, I am Deathrus. I have been in [NNG] Since Planetside 2 Beta. I helped Jaamaw and the other Officers at the time Expand and Grow [NNG] to what it is now.


    I was seeking to expand us into Defiance.


    Here is some quick things about Defiance.

    It's a MMOTPS created by Trion https://www.defiance.com/en/game/.

    • It is Third person Shoot skilled based.
    • Has so many different types of weapons and customizations (mods and synergies) ( think Borderlands)
    • The story goes Hand in Hand with the T.V show on Scyfi channel.
    • Progression is based off of EGO power and Trees.
    • Basic Ego Power are: Stealth, Decoy ( makes a copy of your self), Overcharge and Blur.
    • Has Random Events, Instances, Pvp , Sieges, Arkfalls and Episodes ( content that tells missing parts of the TV show story or adds to it).
    • Plays on All consoles ( besides WI). Our outfit would be the PC only.
    My goal is to have around 20 members. Right now, that's all you need. PVP and instances only require a small amount. Random events, Arkfalls, Sieges and missions adjust difficulty based on player proximity and Ego rating.

    Requirements: TS channel with a PVP and PVE and just a defiance general Forum of course all the other membership requirements.

    Thanks all,

    Deathrus

    I believe the protocol to add more games to being fully endorsed by NNG is a good amount of players who are active (around 15-20 starting) to being with. There may be some extra things to do. I may be wrong so let ping GhostSheets in on this.

    Okay I will, the game doesn't have events big enough yet to have over 20 players in a outfit. The squad sizes are only 4 for pve and 8 for PVP

    Let me know if you'd like to have a section added in the 'other games' section of these forums.

    As Kowl was saying, we dont quite have a system worked out yet for adding Division status (recruiting, forums badges, and any other perk that so far only BF3 & PS2 have), but we're trying to get something sorted. In the time being, feel free to represent NNG in what ever games you guys play, so long as you stick to the basic no nonsense mentality.

    Best of luck to you gaining a following for the game. I myself have been trying to do the same with War Thunder, and it dont happen overnight. But if you're determined enough and stick with it, you'll do just fine.

    Here's the current episode which tell the back story of the plague that will happen on the T.V show. It's a fun event with random emergencies like: Rescue ranchers from zombies, Destory a taken over E rep camp( hordes of zombies), Save the medical patients in Stage 1 and of course sieges

    How many members do you have now?
    I bought Defiance at release, passed the game, did some arkfalls and dungeons and that was it. PVP in that game didn't really impress me TBH.

    Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Sometimes threads fall off the Recent Thread sidebar and I don't get a chance to check them out.

    That being said, division status is something we have to be careful giving out. We don't want to become division saturated. We also don't want to create divisions for every game that a particular member of the forum is hot for. Not that either of those are the case here, I just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page there.

    For division status it would go something like this:
    • Game must have strong online following with potential for great longevity.
    • Game must have a dedicated division leader with time and energy to expend on making said division successful.
    • Division must have an average of at least 15 active NNG players.
    • A recruitment and growth plan should be in place for the division.
    Those are the heavy hitters. I believe the process we've been following so far has been to create a forum dedicated to that game, expose NNG members to it and see how it goes. War Thunder, our most recent example had a strong interest among existing members and there was a lot of discussion about it in the forums. A lot of people in NNG ended up playing it and were in the TS channel all the time. So in a sense, the War Thunder division sprouted up organically. Linch wanted it from the beginning but the growth of it was natural, not mechanical. So we have to make sure that the horse is leading the carriage and not the other way around.
