This is the June 2013 Recruitment Post for [Alph] on the EU server, Fissure of Woe.
A Brief Background.
We are a mature Oceanic/Australian/EU guild:- but the word “mature” does not refer to age or a licence to treat people poorly/tell dirty jokes. On the contrary: we are only interested in players who conduct themselves well and will be a positive reinforcement to guildmates. This means we treat guildmates with respect and don’t berate them; we were all noobs at one point and we gained knowledge through working with each other collaboratively and asking questions.
WvW recruiting in June 2013.
Although we cover PvE, we are really interested in recruiting more WvW players this month. This is because of the new WvW match-up system: Fissure of Woe has a small WvW population compared to other servers at the time of writing, and we’d like to give some of the larger servers that we will find ourselves matched against a run for their money!
We often roll with the main Fissure of Woe team in our home boarderlands, but for the main part, we enjoy operating in enemy territory and the Eternal Battlegrounds, having developed some guerrilla tactics to help counteract our server’s lower WvW population versus our enemies.
We are specifically looking for:
- New players. We are only too happy to show new WvW players around. If you’re one of the many PvE players on Fissure of Woe and would like an introduction to WvW, please contact us.
- Players from higher tiers looking for something dramatically different to what they currently have. We’d like to learn from you, and we’d like to share some of our knowledge about how we fight in outnumbered situations.
- Players of all classes willing to learn and adapt our guerrilla tactics. This means mature players who realize that even if we get wiped-out we have served our purpose by splitting and diverting the enemy zerg.
- Mesmers and Thieves (pistol / dagger builds and similar) for some specific operations and tactica (I’m sure you can guess the kind of things)…
- Fast moving players (e.g. elementalists wielding double daggers, perma-swiftness engineers, guardian builds and similar) for “running bait”…
- Necromancers with undead horde or condition builds…
- Guardians with a penchant to keep those around them alive as well as those who enjoy front line operations…
- Warriors built like tanks who enjoy nothing more than wading in to enemy ranks to cause huge amounts of damage per second, and ranged warriors (but are patient enough to hold their charge / first arrow volley until everything is in place…)
- Elementalists with double daggers or staff builds for exactly what you might think…
- Engineers (yes – we WANT engineers too) who like ensnarement and minefields too much (grenades with pistol/shield, and pistol/pistol), and those that are built for support (healing, condition removal and application), as well as defence of structures and players that can have near perma-swiftness…
- Rangers for AoE and ranged support, those with “glass” builds, and players willing to hang back and call target priorities…
Our further background information can be found here. Our guild chat language is English, but: we have many members able to communicate in more than one EU language.
We currently use a Ventrilo server to coordinate in WvW. We encourage new members to use it, but we acknowledge that some players prefer to simply listen and follow, rather than speak all the time. We expect mature behaviour on our WvW channel, as we do in guildchat.
If after reading this and our background information you feel our guild and philosophy is for you, then please feel free to whisper or message (either here or in game) myself or the co-leaders for an invite.
