About the Guild: Mantle Assasins (misspelling explained later) is a small European Guild Wars 2 Community. We consist of a stable and loyal player-base of adults aged 18+ who have similar goals within the Guild Wars 2 Universe. Originally we formed in Guild Wars 1 in 2005, and many who joined us in Guild Wars 1 continue to be a part of the community, helping to maintain a solid community that has stood the test of time.
The misspelling you may have already noticed isn’t spelled accidentally (not anymore, anyway!), this came down to a typo when we originally formed in 2005, truthfully not expecting too much to come of the guild at the time. As time went on, and we succeeded in lasting through to the release of GW2, we set up a community poll to see if the Guild wanted to amend the typo when we migrated. The end result favoured us keeping the typo, believing it was part of our heritage, and members felt it portrayed many great and unique experiences each of us created for each other over the years.
At the moment, we’re primarily a PvE guild, participating in Fractals & Dungeons frequently. We also have a smaller organised group of players who enjoy getting involved in raids utilising a more strategic style of play than we would elsewhere in the game. Right now they’re a little bit too small to operate independently, so if you’re interested, let us know! We will also dabble in SPvP and WvW occasionally as well, albeit not nearly as often, but this is always liable to change depending on Anet’s content release cycle’s.
The [MA] Way: Something that we started back in the early days of Guild Wars 1, was what we dubbed “The MA Way”. To sum this up into an understandable concept – within MA we do not aim to be #1 in PvP, WvW or Dungeons, our main goal is to create the best experience we can in a laid back atmosphere and have a laugh while we’re at it. The team gets wiped? We just laugh in the face of team wipes, get back up and jump right back in without all the aggro & rage you get from a lot of other guilds out there! Although don’t get the wrong idea, we’re very good working together as a community, but without the tension of being criticised if you or we muck up
Recruitment: We do not recruit heavily, allowing time for new members to settle in and get to know the members before we recruit more. This also benefits those who are already in the guild as it gives us the time we need to get to know our new members well before bringing in any new faces and getting to know them. This system has served us well, giving everyone a chance to know everyone, and generally on a first name basis! To make an application, simply head over to the “Apply Here” section of our website to get started! Applications are handled by the Officers & Leader of the Guild.
Requirements:
- Players of the Guild Wars 2 Community to preferably be aged 18+
- Preferably own Heart of Thorns
- We are a 100% rep community, with the exception of Guild Banks
- Players are to register on our website and make an application when looking to join our ranks
- All new recruits have a sit down and chat session with an Officer or the Leader of the Guild to discuss yours and our expectations, and whether we’re a good fit for one another.
- It is preferable that our members have TeamSpeak3 installed and are willing to use it, we use TeamSpeak to socialise in general, not just for when we’re doing events.
- We have several WhatsApp groups that we use for members to maintain fluid contact with one another outside of the game, this isn’t so much a requirement, but is highly encouraged to provide the best possible chance of integrating into our community.
