Guild Wars 2

Howdy folks!

I hit 80 a few days ago, mostly by bumbling my way through events and quests as I wandered from story point to story point. It’s one of the most rewarding levelling experiences I’ve ever had, but now that I’m 80 I’d like to dig into some of the dungeons a bit.

I’m looking for a guild that runs dungeons on a regular basis, and is interested in having a new member tag alone. I haven’t done any of the dungeons, but I have a long history of dungeoneering in other MMOs, so it won’t take long for me to get the basics down. I’d just rather avoid pugging my way through dungeons the first time, because I don’t want to let people down.

Hit me up here, or in game (Gruklaar, on Stormbluff Isle).

Thanks!

Hey there Gruk:

I actually don’t really peruse this forum all too often, but you seem like a pretty good fit for [VZ]. The link to our post is in my signature, but suffice it to say that we’ve been around the block since release and have been on SBI the whole time, so we’re pretty vetted into the community. We’re not huge, but we’re primarily a PvE guild that runs dungeons (I do AC / CoF every day without fail, and more if I can be convinced into it). We’re good players, though we’re also casual, which means that we’re not going to cut out your legs if you mix up a few times, but if you’re willing to learn I think we’d definitely be able to help you out. That’s one of the nice things about being in the guild and it being pretty casual; we are basically immune to being let down (which sounds like it’s pretty important to you). We also use TS if that’s your sort of thing, so that can assist in the learning process (we don’t have to type!). It’s not a requirement though.

If that sort of thing sounds remotely interesting to you, you can contact me in-game via mail and I’d be happy to talk to you more when we’re both on at the same time. I will probably be home around daily reset tonight, and will be on for most of the night.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Gruk!

Although we are not based on SBI, if you are looking for a guild for dungeons, MadCast Gaming could be the guild for you! We are based on Sanctum of Rall, and are generally PvE focus, but we do step into PvP and WvW. Our main play time is from 6pm EST till 4am EST, but we have members on at all hours.

MadCast is a gaming community that is bigger than GW2, but we are working on growing our GW2 sector right now. You can check out our website at http://www.madcastgaming.com/ips/forums.
I especially suggest you read through the forums some to get a feel for what we are all about! Here are some points you may find attractive about MadCast:

• We have a mature community. While MadCast has no specific age requirements we do have high expectations for maturity. You will find kind, patient people and no drama. The vast majority of our members are over 18 (especially in GW2). Most of our GW2 members are older with careers, and many have families and children.

• We are a serious community with casual gameplay. In other words, the main expectations we have for members revolves around positive contribution to the community and not on a packed GW2 schedule attendance. If you are active in the forums and show up to a few events a week, that is good enough for us. Additionally, because we are casual our community is made out of all levels of players. We have many very new players, some new to gaming in general, and our environment is built on kindness and helpfulness. People will be happy to answer your questions and guide you through things no matter how basic or advanced.

• We have a super awesome, active TeamSpeak group. We enforce strict rules of respectfulness and tolerance among our players, making it a safe friendly place for everyone. People of all types feel comfortable joining in the conversation and making new friends.

• Our community is bigger than in-game. We have a website with a lot of activity and heavy forum use. This is a huge asset because we have people who play all kinds of games over at MadCast, and the forums really serve as the uniting factor among people.

If you check out our website, you will see information about becoming a Full Member of MadCast. This is not something you need to do right away. Our guild welcomes ‘Associate’ Members, meaning we will add you to the guild, you are free to use our TeamSpeak and join our Forums, but you do not have complete access rights for inviting people to the guild yourself, or accessing certain Full Member parts of our forum.

This is a good way to find out if MadCast is the right fit for you before applying. In the long run, to gain any ranking position, we require people to be an official MadCast Full Member.

If you want to, I’d love to invite you to join us and meet some of our members. I would encourage you to join us in our TeamSpeak (you can find information about that here: http://www.madcastgaming.com/ips/forum/4-new-to-madcast/). Alternatively, you can private message me in game, and I would be happy to add you in to one of our parties.

If you have any questions you can message me in game, post here, or join our forums and ask there. Good luck finding a place for you!
