Guild Wars 2

Contemporary Heroes (http://contemporaryheroes.shivtr.com) is once again actively recruiting new members.

While e are currently working to up our presence in WvW on Henge of Denravi, we accept PVE/PVP members from any server in North America.

We want to grow from our already substantial bases (300 total; 150+ active members) into a multi server guild dedicated to just enjoying the game for what it is – and leaving the rat race out of it.

Contact me in game at Blaeys.3102 if the following sounds like something you would like to be a part of.

For us, this is a game – a place to play and have fun with friends, old and new. As a guild we arent trying to set any speed records or prove anything to the community.
We just want to cut up and have fun in a virtual world. Our mantra is very simple – “NO DRAMA.”

Guild Activities:

Most of the week, we leave the schedule open for individual and small group play (with ad hoc large group activities such as Living Story and Orrian Temple runs thrown in – we do like to run living story content in larger guild groups when people are interested).

At the same time, we have three events that are scheduled every week (none of which are mandatory for members to attend):

• Guild Mission Night (Monday nights at 8:30 eastern). We do all guild missions, and at least one major world event (usually Karka Queen) every week. They usually take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Attendance has been holding steady at between 30 and 40 participants each mission. We do not take ourselves very seriously during these missions, so be prepared for singing in teamspeak, stories about exploding armadillos, etc. We will do additional missions throughout the week if enough people miss Monday and express interest.

• Guild sPvP Tournament Night (alternating between Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30 p.m. eastern). Format is open, but we usually do a 3-5 team 3v3 deathmatch mini tournament on our custom pvp map – followed by something just for fun (Zombie Mode, VIP Hunt, AsuraBall). We dont take this event very seriously either – its mainly about hunting down and killing each other mercilessly over and over.

• Guild WvW Night (Organized guild runs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. eastern, Thursdays starting at 9 p.m. eastern and Fridays at reset. We also have small groups running most other nights of the week) – because of the game structure, this is the only event that is restricted to people on Henge of Denravi.

Addtionally, it is very easy to find people for 5 party groups for dungeons, spvp, fractals, etc at almost any time of the day in the guild. We have a fairly active playerbase that enjoys doing things together. If you express interest in a particular activity, we do our best to make sure you get the chance to do that activity. This sometimes means rotating people in and out of dungeon/fractal groups. It is important to us that no one gets left behind. People who commit to the guild will find the guild committed to them.

General Guild Information:

We have a channel on the HoD Teamspeak, a 100+ member Ventrilo and an active Web site () – as well as a fully stocked and researched guild bank.

• Guild boosters – we run +gold per kill, + karma and +magic find 24/7, with other boosters running based on need (e.g. crafting critical success when new crafting levels come out, reduced waypoint costs during living story intros, etc when needed).

• Our members include people from all walks of life and of all ages (which is why we keep things in chat family friendly). Ages (that I know of) range from 17 to 62 – and we have more than one family that plays together in the guild (something we are very proud of and encourage).

• Repping the guild is encouraged, but not required. Guild rank (and bank access) is tiered based on how often you wish to rep, but all members are invited to all guild activities.

If you are interested in joining, whisper me (Blaeys.3102) or any other member in game. You will not see us spamming chat looking for new members. We prefer to recruit in ways that allow us to better communicate who we are and what people get from the guild when they join.

After seeing a small group of our more active players regain interest in WvW the past few weeks, Contemporary Heroes is looking to build a more organized team for that part of the game.

The core ideals and guild guidelines will still apply (NO DRAMA, friendly inclusive atmosphere).

If you are interested, we are looking for both soldiers and leaders. Cuddles (GubboSupreme) will continue to lead when he can, but we really want to add to the pool of commanders we have in the guild – and anyone wanting to learn will be given the opportunity/support.

This is a good opportunity for any WvWers out there looking to get a fresh start and be a part of (help build if that is your interest) a growing WvW team – in a guild that has been on HOD since the first beta weekend 2.5 years ago and will never leave.

We have some highly motivated members who are interested in WvW. Right now, we’re working on adding to the team and beefing up our training in the field. We aren’t the best (yet), but we recognize our shortcomings and have plans to work on them.

Finally (and, to me, most importantly), CH is and will always be a no drama guild. That includes our teamspeak, guild chat and public map chats/forums/etc. We just want to play a game and have fun.

If you want to be a part of that, reach out to me (Blaeys.3102) or Cuddles (Gubbo Supreme.6498) in game.

We are still recruiting! Here are some blurbs about what CH members have to say about the guild:

• I really do enjoy playing with this guild! I know every time I log in no matter what I want to do I can always find someone who wants to play or help out!
• I tried a LOT of guilds in my 10 months here, and I can honestly say that CH tops them ALL by FAR!! I am so glad to have found y’all!
• I love this guild and I’m very happy to be a part of it.
• We have a good group and think we are the basis of what other guilds should try to be.
• CH are a GOOD bunch of folks !!!

Message myself or Blaeys to be part of an AWESOME guild!

To highlight one of our weekly guild activities:

Guild Deathmatch PvP
Every other Tuesday (alternating with living story/small group Tuesday), we do an in guild PvP deathmatch tournament in our custom arena. Three player teams are assigned randomly and are shuffled throughout the night and pitted against one another. The mood is kept light, with a lot of jokes and “rivalries.”

Just before and after the tournament, we usually conduct two other events in our custom arena -

1. Thunderdome, during which any member can challenge any other member to a one on one single elimination match (“Two men enter, one man leaves”).

2. Customized mini game – which can, currently, be one of three different activities: Zombie Hunt, VIP match or AsuraBall.

This is just one way the guild has fun together. Other guild activities include organized guild missions every Monday (we havent missed a week since Missions were first added to the game) and WvW on Wednesday and Friday nights.

No guild activities are mandatory as part of membership. They are there for members to enjoy should they happen to be interested.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy being a part of, contact me or GubboSupreme.6498 in game.
