We take pride in having standards in our recruitment to ensure, when anyone enters the guild, that they will find a roster of active, committed, and skilled players to enjoy their Guild Wars 2 experience with.

If these things interest you, I encourage people to check out our website and the details below.

Why join XHSA over other guilds

What XHSA offers is a quality, active, and long lasting guild experience that is unlike your common “pack the roster with as many bodies as possible” guilds. Very few guilds have been around and long as us and have our level of commitment to quality. Here, our focus is about putting our members first to provide a social environment in which to form friendships while simultaneously seeking players of dedication and skill to make our community one of a kind.

We use an application process to offer our members have an opportunity to participate in the recruitment processes and consider potential members. We like to make sure that each member will be a good fit and that we can offer them what they are looking for in a guild. Be assured, when accepted, members already know you are coming and will be ready to welcome you. Not only will you find players capable of comfortably completing challenging content when you join up. Here you will also find a welcoming community to enjoy a long term gaming experience with. One that has taken some time to know you, even before we have sent an invite.

We don’t believe in spam recruiting, blind invites, or throwing cookie cutter recruitment messages at people’s posts. Our roster is not a collection of random people that we picked up wherever we could. You will find that our member were carefully selected on the basis of having similar goals, interests, and activity to form a well functioning and quality community. You will find that our standards and ideals translate in the quality of our members and the activity of our community that is second to none.

What does quality mean to XHSA

XHSA defines quality by activity, commitment, and respect.

XHSA does not keep members not active in the game on our roster. While we understand that members may take a break from the game, and are always welcome back if removed from the roster, you will find that our roster is not inflated with inactive players. The majority of our members have been playing the game for well over a year and maintain constant activity. We do our best to seek out and accept members that love the game as much as we do. New or experienced, you will find a guild experience that will last here.

Members recruited to XHSA have shown they hold the idea and concept of community highly in their priorities. XHSA is the main guild and home to all of it’s members and represent it in a manner that reflects that. Members that are looking to get socially involved in a community are usually ones that also have high participation and activity. We do not retain people on our roster that do not, as we feel they would reflect poorly on the quality of our membership and discourage others from committing to the community. Here you will find people committed to interacting and supporting the guild and those loyal to it.

We are also a guild that strives to be inclusive and respectful of everyone. One that strongly discourages the formation of cliques. Our members maintain the mentality that this is a video game and we are here to have fun. Many people here were complete strangers when they joined and have formed lasting friendships with players here. We want that for every member we accept into the guild. We have a very mixed roster made up of people of all creeds, nationalities, gender, and sexual orientation. While our members certainly do have a crude, politically incorrect since of humor, we do not tolerate discriminating or demeaning behavior towards people, members or not, for any reason. Here you will find a open and welcoming social environment free of the cliques and closed social circles found in other guilds.

Raids

XHSA considers itself highly proficient in end game content and strives to attract talent that would be expected to complete these things without difficulty in a timely manner. We maintain an experienced raiding pool for proficient and interested members to get timely clears and raid achievements. We also have a casual raid night for players trying to get a leg up into raiding.

It is important to note raiding is not something that is required for members to participate in, as it is a highly organized and regulated activity in our guild. We understand raiding may not be something that is for everyone. It is also important to note that XHSA does not offer any form of focused training nor should it be assumed that getting accepted into the guild will eventually get you into our experienced raiding program.

Our experienced raiding pool is somewhere in the neighborhood of 35+ active raiders with 3 static, full clear, teams. This pool is for members that meet certain experience and DPS requirements from which our static teams are coordinated as well as raid achievement and challenge mote runs. The purpose of this pool is to serve as a competency base line for our experienced raiding activities that would be expected of raiders that can clear all wings in under 3 hours. Meeting these requirements is not a requirement of guild membership nor is membership in a static team required for this pool. If you are looking for something not static, but experienced, you may still join this pool and fill for absences at your convenience.

We rarely have to look outside the guild on any given day to fill a run. While there may or may not be static spots available at the time of recruitment there are usually plenty of opportunities to fill in for absences or impromptu requests throughout the week.

We also host casual raids once a week that do not have any requirements other than being informed about the encounters and having a meta build. These are on a first come first serve basis to supplement members seeking out experience or wanting to learn new roles.

If you are interested in raids with XHSA and would like to learn more about our requirements. Please see the link below.

Fractals

There are always multiple groups going around reset and often include the challenge motes. You will almost always find a full guild group to run this content effectively in the evenings. We are pretty much accepting all classes and builds so long as you have the required AR. We are highly experienced in this area and welcome those experienced and new alike to join us on these.

Anticipating The Expansion

Presently many of our members are awaiting the highly anticipated expansion. It is our goal to recruit members that plan to enter this on release day and tackle content that would require high populations and organization. We are a guild with a history of taking this on early and succeeding so long as our members have interest.

If you are looking for a solid guild to get caught up on anything you may have missed and enter the expansion, this is the guild for you. This guild used to be a end game exclusive guild, there a plenty of helpful members to offer advice, guidance, and assistance in reaching your pre-expansion goals.

Casual WvW

Since the release of the new reward system several members have shown interest in some casual WvW, usually group up on the weekend for some light roaming or joining a zerg. The vast majority of the guild resides in Yak’s Bend. If this is something you are interested in, you would need to be on our server to join us.

Guild Hall and Missions

XHSA has a max level guild hall in the Lost Precipice. Our Guild missions are currently every Friday at 9PM Eastern US. If members are online at that time we ask you to join us and mingle with the guild. This is a high value event for us as we like to see people get antiquated with the guild, if they so happen to be online Friday night, via this event. Attendance for guild missions is something that is highly valued as a community builder in this guild.

I would like to be a part of XHSA. How do I join?

It is highly encouraged that you glance over our recruitment posting on our website and any other information that interests you.

http://xunlaiheroes.wixsite.com/xhsa/recruitment

There is a short application that gathers basic information about you to ensure we can offer you a quality experience and if you wish, can leave a little information about yourself. I will contact you via in-game mail if we are looking to recruit you to discuss any concerns either of us may have and to properly welcome you.

Unfortunately, I can not issue a reply to everyone, we get far to many applications for that. However, I encourage people to contact me after they apply to ask questions or inquire about the status of their application, in game, on Mireles Lore.5942. It usually takes a day or two for an application to be reviewed by enough guild members to issue a decision.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to meeting all that are interested.

XHSA is looking for about 10 more members to fill our membership cap head of the upcoming expansion. We have had a huge recruitment drive with over 80 applications and around 30 accepted members since August 1st.
