Hmm, still no cruises to earn points.
Don't be pissed off again when you read this, it's not meant that way. The idea is to get you thinking and add some more of your friends to be able to organize events (that actually reward points so you can join the club), maybe Diablo who has been very active on both fora lately (here and tdu2 official forums)
I try to be online for around at least 30 minutes every night, but haven't seen stinger online in ages. Also, there hasnt been a single mafia cruise after the announcement of the test.
Ok, maybe I see this wrong, and if I do, please correct me, but isn't the point of having a club far more interesting right after the introduction of a game, as users will get bored after a while and move on to Shift 2 or other games. (See bored with TDU2 already thread) Thinking of this, I can't understand why someone would make a club and issue strict rules on joining and not be online very much, or have a high rank club member who is. This just doesnt make sense at all. The waiting list is like at least 50 ppl long, so enough interest in making this club the best. Also, I don't see that planning random cruises that don't award any points is useful. As I am not in the ingame club, I don't know the other members, and it is hard to contact them. Also, if i want to cruise, i just ask after going online if somebody wants to cruise in chat.
offtopic;
Thinking of this, it reminds me of Atari/Eden promising the exploration pack, announcing it late february, and still no exploration pack. If you announce something, or want something, then do it, and don't keep players waiting forever. Announcing a patch and letting people wait 1 week short of two months for the actual patch is in my opinion not the way to treat you loyal customers.
Btw; Any arguments about 'having a life next to TDU2' are IMHO null and void, so dont bother. As said before, I'm not expecting people to be online every day or every friday, but the frequency of the events offered here recently is below any standard. (actually, thinking of the whole idea that I expect every organizing member to be online 24/7 or at least daily is just plain and utterly shortsighted)
