Rather than ship a system that isn't fully working and isn't as flexible as we'd like, we're delaying the ability to associate yourself with an "official" team and team tag. In the open beta you can see this feature at the bottom of your profile screen. In the released version of the game this area will be greyed out.

Apologies to anyone who was really looking forward to this feature. I hope you agree that disabling this feature will be better than shipping a system that doesn't fully work and doesn't let you do what you want to do. The current plan, if given the opportunity, is to implement it properly in a future update,

Partially correct. Gamespy doesn't have (yet, they're close) a clan system. We hacked one together using their global name space. They've got millions of registered names in there already, so getting your clan tag thru would be next to impossible. VU is getting a global name space for all VU games, we'll switch to that as soon as it's available (hopefully we'll be the first into the space and we'll all get our names and clan tags as we want them). If Gamespy implements their clan system in the mean time, we have the option to implement that if it seems worth it.

Yeah. That's what I mentioned in an earlier post. The delay of Team Affiliation.

Just at <=RD=> to your login you can have multiple nicks and they don't show up as smurfs. :shock:

So you could basically have one login for each tribe your in? So I could make, like, <=RD=>SergeantWolfe and -(X)-SergeantWolfe?

I suggest having one that is just sergeantwolfe (for when the tag system goes live), one for every clan you're in. You can easily delete the nicks as well.

They aren't promising anything. AND....there is still the problem with the brackets. I'm aware that it is just BETA....but this is a big deal that just isn't being addressed well.

I asked on tribalwar and they lead me to believe that it was an issue with the current gamespyid system and not what they intended. I have faith.

That's exactly what it says in the first post -- there's too many userid's in the gamespy database, so they want to use their own just for VU Games

Striker I wasn't really refering to that, what I meant was the current system was just supposed to be a placeholder, as opposed to the official thing. I still have faith.
