Copy-pasted straight from the introduction to clan operations discord channel:
Clan Operations are a series of extra quests that I have written. Currently, in-game, Quests have unique missions, and extra dialog and lines from various characters to create a story. Obviously, I can’t create unique missions or in-game quests quite like this, but I wanted our clan to have a bit more character, so I wrote a series of “quests” myself, that does its best to stay true to the lore of Warframe as I see it.
How It Works: Extra dialog will appear here in Discord in-between missions to dump exposition explain what is going on, story-wise, before providing you with your next objective. Usually there are three characters: Myself as the Commander, Cephalon Derecho, who “runs clan day-to-day operations and backend”, and you, the member of the clan. I have also managed to create a form of in-game cinematic using clan dojo decorations.
Rewards: Each completed Operation can give you various rewards including in-game items, promotions within the clan, and more. For example, the first Operation, called “Just a Simple Promo”, rewards a promotion within the clan that allows you to queue research samples - which is mostly symbolic because everything in the dojo is already researched. But, Doomed on Repeat will grant you the ability to decorate within the dojo, as well as receive your own personal dojo room. Soundtrack: Warframe has a sore lack of bossfight music. Instead, during some missions Derecho may provide a music track as a .mp3 file in the channel. Derecho’s taste may be… unconventional (usually EDM) at times, so you don’t have to listen if you don’t want to.
How to Progress: During each step of the operation, you will be provided an objective of completing a specific mission. To continue, post a screenshot of you completing the requested objective, like the end-mission-results-screen, your codex showing a certain quest completed, or even screenshots of you doing things in the dojo.
Screenshots: Steam has a hotkey that lets you take screenshots. You can also take screenshots using Print-Screen, which will copy everything on your screens to your clipboard which can then be pasted in discord. You can also use Windows+shift+s to activate the “snipping tool” which will allow you to edit your screenshot in real-time. These Operations add a bit more character and story to our clan. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know - or if you want to write or run your own clan operation, we can also do that.
Heres the text for the first clan operation i've written for my clans 'story' or lore.
Clan Operation: Just a Simple Promo
Requirements: Europa Junction (post a screenshot of the completed junction in this channel to begin)
Rewards: Clan Emblem, promotion to "Spark"
Notes: Our clan Cephalon has located some useful data which we could use to promote our clan - and look good doing it. Get on it, Tenno. This is a 100% guaranteed thing!
This quest is 13 missions long. (edited)
The original purpose of these was to add more quests and things to do for players who have been waiting for a while for new quests to show up in-game, but it also serves as something to do for the clan, as well as adding a bit more character to the clan itself - instead of just 'a group of tenno', we now also have a backstory for the formation of the clan.
