Clan System[ | ]
“With this patch we are starting an overhaul of the Clan system. Players in clans will now earn Honor, and clans will level up over time (outlined below). This is the first stage of the clan implementation, as we wanted players and clans to start earning Honor as soon as possible. In a future patch there will be achievements for players earning honor, as well as special unlocks for clans leveling.”
- Joining Clans
- “Open Joining” is now supported. Clans set to this join status will auto-accept any invitation request.
- “Allows Application” is now supported. Clans set to this join status accept applications from players, but those applications must be approved.
- “Invite Only” is now supported. Clans set to this join status can only acquire new members through direct application.
- Searching Clans
- There is a new system for searching clans that supports system “Recommended Clans” as a default option.
- Clan Member Limits
- Clans now start limited at 30 members, and gain the ability to add more members as they level.

- A member leaving a clan retains all Honor Points they earned while in that clan, but will not start gaining Honor again until they join a new clan.
- If the Clan Leader leaves the clan without manually assigning a new leader, the next highest ranked clan member who has been in the clan the longest is made the new Clan Leader.
- A clan leader who has not been online in 21 days will automatically be demoted, and a new leader will be assigned as per the above rules.
- Earning Honor
- All honor earned is awarded both to the player, and to the clan they are in. You can only gain honor while in a clan. If a player leaves a clan, both the player and the clan retains the honor they gained. There are 4 ways to earn honor:
- Winning: Every time a player wins a Normal (PvP) match of any game mode, they earn 10 Honor Points. Every time a player wins a League match of any game mode, they earn 20 Honor Points.

- Party of 2: 1.5x
- Party of 3: 2x
- Party of 4: 2.5x
- Party of 5: 3x
- 1-Time Level Bonus: A player earns 10 Honor Points every time they gain a player level (max 300).
