On the 3rd edition of theagent008's clan reviews I'll be reviewing The Forest Clan.
NOTE: While I did review TFC as I would have for every other clan - on an alt no one knows about, I do have a personal relationship with Maple. I 100% believe that this review will stay unbiased regardless but feel it's my duty to post this notification.
QUICK FACTS: Leader: Tottenham_Hotspur Weaponry: Guns+Swords (Flamethrowers coming soon?) Members: 3k Activity: 8-14 (This seems to be on an upward trend tho) How often do events happen: 1-2 a day, mostly in the form of defenses Status: INDEV (will rereview once out of dev, but due to the clan having events, worth it to review anyways)
COMMUNITY: I don't think I'm biased in this portion: I loved the old TFC community and honest to god I'm barely finding any vets in the midst. The old guard of TFC HRs have mostly quit and some others are barely active. I'd say at any given moment 10% of attendance are vets. Anyways, the community is, much like the old community, really laidback and nice. Everyone was chilling on the Discord and having fun in non group related games. Every once in a while when a new member went to he fort a good 3 or 4 went into the server with him for no apparent reason but to chill (wouldnt call this a patrol at all tho). All the members seemed to be friends outside the clan as the Discord seemed active and off topic. One look at the lore and uniform and you know what type of a clan this is. Of course, they did maintain composure in defenses but even there there was no real raid leader, just people shouting strategies in the discord and agreeing/disagreeing with them. Very laidback community
Strictness factor (-10 being goofy and laid back, 10 being VAK styled discipline, 0 being the middle): -9 Friendship factor (1-10, were members friends outside the clan or just comrades?): 8.5/10
FIGHTING: Honestly you have no idea what to expect from TFC. There's 2 TFC's, the new PM botted members, and a group of more experienced clanners. Almost every defense goes like this - PM botted people almost exclusively near the start, they start RQing as raiders totally spawn trap TFC. Then suddenly more experienced TFC come in and clutch the raid big time - I think when Republic of Aurlieus raided (Raviz's clan might've misspelled) they clutched the terminal at 1195 seconds... Out of 1200...
Activity per event: 6/10 (inconsistent but on a good day pretty active) Skill: 6.9/10 (Again very very inconsistent) Clan ranking: Indev but if it was to go out of dev tommorow, I'd say top 30, maybe top 25.
TECH: OK, pros first. The fort itself, structure and all, though a bit ugly, was absolutely a JOY to defend (and raid too since spawns are identical more or less). Like honest to god havent had this much fun since old Fang (which the base... Resembles.) Now to the cons - The guns were prone to break ALOT. Like a ridiculous amount. Maple told me that the guns are fixed now but I'll need to check that out. Also, hats deflected damage which ended up being a major part of the raid. Again Maple said this would be removed but no idea until another raid happens. Besides those two flaws the fort was perfect, very 2012 old clan esque, had lots of fun defending it, can see why they get raided so much. As for the actual permanent tech, we've all seen TFC's flamethrowers and Maple gave me a preview of the (barely any) progress on the permanent TFC fort. I will say that they both look pretty good but honest to god how are they still in that state? Doesn't look like it'll be done anytime soon.
Tree-Dev amirite?
MISC: Another complaint. TFC has 2 sorts of events. Defenses and Practice Raids... At their fort. I guess it's one sort of way to run a clan and I don't mind it since the fort itself gave me so much nogalstia, but still.
Oh also, think I might've found the reason TFC's fort looks like JCs. 3/3 of the council members (excluding Maple and Clear) were ex or current JC, including the one who built the fort.
Also, they are recruiting yes, but even their recruited members seem to be inconsistent. Most have never clanned before, but some magically come in knowing how to gun fight really well and others RQ when Maple won't let them FPS.
CONCLUSION: TFC is an indev clan that's still pretty active... In defenses. Some won't mind because the fort TFC has gives a ton of nogalstia. The fort is pretty buggy though (Maple ensures it's being fixed). The community is very laidback and seems to be pretty tight knit, everyone knows everyone and the Discord is fairly active and fun. They're bringing new people into the clan world, but not all of them are amazing - and for whatever reason the quality of members in attendance is ridiculously inconsistent - sometimes total noobs and at others really good gun fighters who clutch defenses late raid. If you're looking for a clan with community and make you feel like you're in 2012 (though that'll probably change in the future with those projects they're making) then TFC is... The only choice for you? If you're looking for a strict meme hating clan and want a more diverse array of events AND NEVER WANT TO SEE A NOOB AT A CLAN EVENT then TFC should be avoided at all costs.
