Are you looking to join a laidback but eager and aspiring guild with a focus on anything and everything? We might suit you, The Imperial Collective, or Collective, is a Seafarer’s Rest based PvX guild with the goal of exploring any content Guild Wars 2 offers up, and enjoying it together.
The Bullet Points:
Seafarer’s Rest based, with members from all over the EU Megaserver.
Active from noon to midnight (On timezones in Northern Europe).
A private TeamSpeak 3 server.
Focused on the community, and enjoying the game together.
Present in all major content: sPvP, WvW, Dungeons, Fractals, Guild Missions, and so on.
Laidback whilst competitive.
Weekly Guild Missions.
+10% Magic Find and +5% Gold from Kills 24/7.
Our PvX Approach:
We are a PvX guild in the truest definition, we explore every type of content the game has to offer, and regardless of what type of content you prefer, you’ll be able to do it with us. We have members with varying interests in different aspects of content, some new players, some old veterans, and some returning players, each with their own individual preference, sPvP, WvW, Fractals, Dungeons, Exploration, and so on.
Ultimately we have no particular focus on different aspects of Guild Wars 2 content, but instead prioritize enjoying all available content together, as a guild, and fostering a strong sense of community and belonging, based in Guild Wars 2 around the content Guild Wars 2 has to offer.
What We Offer:
Every Saturday, at 7pm BST, 8pm CEST, we run Guild Missions. At the moment we are currently running mostly Bounties, Rushes, Challenges, and Treks, and we have a private TeamSpeak 3 server, where Guild members can congregate outside of Guild Wars 2, and play any game they desire, and any member is welcome to invite anyone they like onto TeamSpeak, to play anything, or just hangout.
We are almost fully upgraded, and have a constant 10% Magic Find and 5% Gold from kills buff running, as Guild Bank, emblems, armour, and so on.
Seafarer’s Rest and WvW:
We don’t boast a huge presence on Seafarer’s Rest, however we request that anyone who is interested in joining us for WvW be on Seafarer’s Rest. Whilst we have members from all over the megaserver, we only participate in WvW as a guild on Seafarer’s Rest.
If you’re participating in World vs World with other guilds, not from Seafarer’s Rest, that’s fine, and for more information on how we approach representation and other guilds, read about our requirements.
Our Requirements:
We expect all members to be mature enough to be able to approach delicate matters in an adult and responsible way, and we expect able members to have TeamSpeak installed, and use it for Guild Missions. We also encourage members to use TeamSpeak for most other communication. Whilst we do use Guild Chat, we prefer to use it as a secondary form of communication.
We do not demand 100% representation, 75% representation, or any percentage of representation, but we do expect members to participate with the guild. Members are expected either to actively represent and join in with content through Guild Chat, or be active on TeamSpeak and join in with content that way. Either works, and the choice is up to the individual, however we do expect people to somehow involve themselves with the guild.
Heart of Thorns Preparation
We’re mostly prepared for Heart of Thorns, but there’s always more work to be done. We’re mostly preparing in three ways: Plans for taking a Guild Hall, which are all set and done, plans for raiding, which are mostly done, and plans for PvP Leagues, which are still less set in stone.
If you’re not interested in PvP or Raiding Nights, you’re still welcome, and we won’t be abandoning other content, or older content, for Raiding and PvP Leagues. We don’t intend to be elitists and put world firsts above everything else, but we want to see the bosses go down, and that should require a certain degree of seriousness.
Raiding
We’re currently preparing ourselves for raiding, and whilst we have enough to easily run one team, we’d like to be able to run two teams simultaneously. All members are welcome to join for raiding, but we do have some requirements: We will be raiding two nights a week, over the weekend, we will require people to be on TeamSpeak for raiding, and we will expect people to bring food and utilities. Whilst raiding, you may be asked to change your build at the drop of the hat, and you will be expected to wipe repeatedly. If you’d like to do more raiding, this may be possible, but if you’d like to raid every night of the week, we’re not the guild for you.
PvP
We’re also looking to expand into more PvP involvement, especially for Heart of Thorns’ PvP Leagues. We’re currently running one night of Organized ‘Try-Hard’ PvP a week, and may end up running more come Heart of Thorns. For Organized PvP, we expect people to be on TeamSpeak, and wanting to offer and receive friendly criticism.
