I have always been tempted by this game and I was thinking about getting it recently but it seems like the logistics changes make a lot of the game inaccessible to solo players not connected with a clan. This seems like a really subjective feeling though that different types of players might feel very differently on.
What is your experience?
In that case you’ll do well! It is extremely easy to find random people. You can just spawn in a region and use voice or text chat. With that you can have the full experience. It is easy to find someone willing to chat. Clans are only required for large-scale operations and are optional otherwise.
