[u][b]Order of Burning Light[/b][/u] [b]Who is OBL? [/b] Order of the Burning Light [BURN] is an XB1 clan founded in fall 2017 by a group of adult friends with the goal of finding more mature Guardians to enjoy D2’s content. Since then, BURN has continued growing, expanding multiple times into additional divisions to eclipse Bungie’s 100 Guardian clan roster. The Admin team has expanded from the original founders to a larger core of BURN leaders sharing the original vision: provide a mature, respectful and FUN group experience for as many awesome, adult Guardians as possible while helping others achieve their Destiny goals. [b]Why Join a Clan?[/b] Destiny is a social game that requires group participation for the most efficient advancement. Most definitely if you seek to conquer the more challenging content and triumphs available. Looking for groups in the wild can be… an experience! But joining a clan changes that dynamic. The right clan for a Guardian will consist of like-minded individuals willing to invest in each other's collective experience to expand in skill, progression and camaraderie. Basically: a bigass pool of mature players you can count on to chill or game with to enhance the Destiny experience! [b]Is BURN Active?[/b] BURN currently has 500 active members, 400 of which are Xbox. We can say 80% are active within any given 24 hour period across all global time zones, with 90% active in a given week. We’re so active, and so many people have wanted to be a part of what we’ve been doing that we had to go from 1 to 4 Xbox rosters and have even opened a brand new PC division! Meaning- five times the Guardians available for action that you can invite to your groups or be invited by. We are also around the corner from expanding Xbox and PC into an additional division each starting next week! [b]How Does BURN Stay Organized?[/b] By using Discord app. This has become a required tool for our clan. It greatly helps our membership stay in touch any time they want or need to. Through Discord, we are able to: 1. Keep track of active (& inactive) members to maintain a healthy Guardian pool. 2. Utilize stat & leaderboard tracking for friendly competition within the clan and personal progress logs, as well as News/Announcements to keep up with Destiny 2 information & weekly reset updates. 3. Easily create scheduled or on-the-fly clan Fireteams for all game activities with Charlemagne's integrated LFG system. 4. Use the Discord Role system to identify standout members. Roles are assigned accordingly, giving members a little something extra to work toward. 5. Get to know each other better and bond more closely as a group by having a platform to share, joke and communicate on frequently. 6. Using our tag system, members opt into notifications only for activities of their choice- allowing them to stay in the know for areas of interest and filter out noise. 7. Keep track of ALL 5 BURN Divisions in a single unifying platform giving all members access to our true clan roster rather than the limited in-game 100 max roster. [b]Can You Explain Your Roles and Titles?[/b] Glad you asked. The Bungie.net app allows very little management ability for our community. Discord Roles gave us a better system, and have given members things to work toward and achieve in areas they may not have otherwise. Some examples are: [i]Game Leader –[/i] Our Leadership team – these folks lead individual Divisions to ensure there is healthy activity, low levels of inactivity and no toxicity within our spaces. They run the daily operations and make decisions as a group. [i]Game Guides & Sherpas –[/i] Members who demonstrate patience and knowledge and take the time to help less experienced folks learn and improve in difficult content such as PvP and raid content, or guiding them through pursuit-based gear quests. Our Sherpa family takes great pride in what they do and many times inspire others to become Sherpas themselves. The private Game Guide & Sherpa channels allow them to discuss strategy and plan successful events consisting of veterans and newbies. If you have experience being a guide or Sherpa in the past- make sure to let our PVE Development team know so they can get you on that same path in BURN- we love helpful members! [i]Redjacks –[/i] The best of the best BURN has to offer in PvP. We set the bar high to earn this in-clan title. [i]Templars –[/i] The most daring raiders in BURN- meeting the requirements means a Templar excels at every Destiny raid out there. [i]The Infamous –[/i] Gambit killers- these BURNers have seen all the Derelict has to offer and then some. [b]What Can Burn Offer Me?[/b] BURN will offer you a highly active, adult clan that participates in all Destiny 2 activities daily. From helping you accomplish activities like 100k Nightfalls, loot farming to Seasonal content & triumphs. From Crucible oriented playlists or Iron Banner. Normal or Prestige Level Raids & Lairs. All Gambit activities. Or even just to shoot the shit in a party or Discord chat with like-minded gamers, it don't matter! BURN will make your play experience more efficient, rewarding and most importantly- fun. [b]What Does Burn Expect From Me?[/b] Just a few things: 1. [i]Use Discord:[/i] Order of Burning Light’s multiple Divisions work primarily because we are able to connect so many people and operate as one unit. We really are one single clan, and we only have different Divisions because of Bungie’s limitation on clan sizes. Discord makes you available to help all Divisions, and even better it places you in a position to be seen and helped by all BURNers. BURNers on Discord are much more engaged and those without eventually go inactive. Discord is easily obtainable on any phone or tablet device as well as PC, so it is a requirement. 2. [i]Age:[/i] BURN is an adult clan but also has an age requirement of 21 and over. This is how we protect the sanity of our clan. 3.[i] Be Active in D2: [/i] We know Destiny is not a job, and that as adults we all have a life to manage. But we want BURN to be a place for people to play this game weekly. When a member hits 3+ weeks of inactivity, we do remove them unless they’ve given us a heads up that they’ll return. 4. [i]Participate:[/i] A clan is a relationship: give and take. You’ll get plenty of help from BURNers, so make sure to return the favor from time to time especially for less experienced BURNers! 5. [i]Respect for Everyone:[/i] We are a large, still growing community. This means all sorts of different people share our space. We’ll have discussions, good times, and the occasional disagreement or personality conflicts. As adults, we are all responsible for our actions, and how we address each other. There are many healthy ways to disagree without provoking or escalating conflict. Excessive disrespect of other members can and will result in a ban, so keep it cool out there! 5. [i]Ethical Gaming:[/i] We generally avoid telling adults how to play their game especially when it comes to making PVE progression easier, but we do require that members keep our Clan reputation sterling. We are zero tolerance for matchmade activity cheating and network/loading/matchmaking glitches to avoid activities and folks participating in this will be banned on discovery so- keep it clean! [b]What's BURN Looking For?[/b] BURN currently operates in five Divisions: four Xbox and one PC, but today we are looking for 10-15 new members specifically to fill up Division #1. Here’s what we’re looking for today: [b]WE REQUIRE[/b] our members be salt-free and active Guardians willing to use Discord and who are looking to join an active clan for either the first time, or to replace a dead/crappy clan with. [b]WE WANT[/b] members of all skill & experience levels today, so this is a great opportunity. However- we always have special interest in Guardians who are able to use legitimate, extensive experience in Crucible & Raids to assist in the progression of our less advanced members [b]WE’D LIKE[/b] our new members to be from anywhere in the world, as we have members in all time zones! The larger portion players tend to be active afternoon/evening/nights in the Eastern and Central time zones so players who share this will find more BURNers than others.
