Guild Wars 2

6/15/14 Due to lack of demand for general PvX ranger guild [TACR] is disbanded until further notice. Got to [WIND] for all your ranger needs.
6/09/14 We now have a EU Coordinator who can provide limited support until we can get a dedicated EU guild going for our friends in Europe. In the meantime we will be accepting players from Europe into our community to help break the ice.
6/08/14 There is a growing demand for an European(EU) version of [TACR], if you’re interested in starting a EU ranger guild shoot me a whisper so I can refer people to your guild. I can provide you with access to [TACR]’s team-speak server, a website(eventually), and general support.
6/07/14 We are now live again and have most of our upgrades complete!

The Allied Council of Rangers[TACR] is recruiting any and all rangers from all servers in their place to fill the need for an active community free from ranger hating.

We are located in Blackgate(North America server “NA”), though this shouldn’t prove a problem with mega-servers and the recent updates to guild missions(you no longer need to be guesting to get guild commendation credit, you just have to participate). However for simplicities sake keep a guest slot open for events.

Advantages:
+PvX, no discrimination against preferred play-styles
+No requirements lvl or otherwise
+Open recruitment
+95% rep requirement, you’re free to participate in other guilds if we can’t meet your needs at the time you want them.
+No snobbish rank titles and elitism
+Home on Blackgate one of the largest PvE communities
+Hate free ranger group
+Suggestions are seriously heeded, if you have an idea better than mine I want to hear it
+Ranger PvP, PvE, and WvW advice(fractals and dungeon tips included)
+Guaranteed Response and invite to in-game applications within 24 hours.
+Commander and guild raid training availability
+Zero tolerance to trolling and drama
+Experienced adult leadership
+Eventual transition into a council based leadership of equality(for officers)
+Intelligent distributive recruitment expansion policy, guild is regulated by a fixed percentage of officers to prevent the guild from expanding to quickly and in the event an officer leaves the command structure isn’t crippled.
+Clear methods of Rank Advancement
+Lack of experience is not a barrier to advancement long as you are willing to learn
+Playing ranger actively while repping is NOT a guild requirement, but a guild preference
-Ts3 server
-Tier 5 upgrades
-Buffs activated upon request

Disadvantages:
-No free cake

Feel free to leave your applications/suggestions here or shoot me an in-game email to MuchWaffle.2579 (I will respond quicker to in-game emails).

I no longer use Skype, so if you signed up with our Skype I apologize.

wish there was an EU guild >_>

I feel your pain =(

I put my name down at [WIND] but no love, so I’ll take an invite please, would like to do some all ranger stuff.

I really want to see an all Ranger zerg ball in WvW, all with LB/GS and Traps, Piercing arrows, Eagle Eye, Fire sigils and canines. Glorious!

I’d love to join. I’m mainly a pver but wouldnt mind doing some pvp/wvw. I’m personal lvl 29 in fractals but dont mind running lower if needed. I also have an 80 necro because I love playing the hated classes in mmos! Hit me up with an invite if yoi find the time, thanks.

This is worded… oddly.

Hmmmm i’m on Blackgate…..and i play Ranger Main….i would love to see an all ranger squad!! Also my main guild has been very quiet lately…..I really need help to start my Deadly Blooms farm to get my Howler done!!

I face-palmed there….

Fixed the typo.

Shoot me an invite mate, I’m quite experienced in all areas of the game. Depending on the week I focus on PvP, WvW 5 man roaming, to PvE activities (this is all during my leisure time). Currently trying to make a 5 man wvw team of rangers only so I hope the guild helps.

ooooo…..sounds nice, but I don’t play nearly enough nowadays to be much of a benefactor or beneficiary

This sounds cool, more ranger love in my life would be great. Send me an invite please!

We’re more of a community so how often you’re on isn’t really that big of deal. So I’ll shoot ya invite anyways and you can roll with us when you feel like it =)

I got nothing from WIND either. Sign me up!

Im on BG and a member of wind. I’d like an invite!
I’d even hop on my ranger for wvw or dungeons, if we can get a ranger group going.
I’ve been using the mesmer for this wvw season though as I find it contributes alot more to the cause. But my ranger is my first love =)

I’ve just started on a ranger and I really like it more then the others. Shoot me an invite.

I’m on Sea of Sorrows. But I can guest for guild missions or events and I would love to help and be in a community of rangers.

HIT me an invite!

[Wind]‘s leaders are currently occupied with outside things, I’m afraid. Sevans unfortunately injured one of his hands at work (it’s not broken, but it is unusable at the moment) and Textilian is out traveling last I heard. No, I’m not a stalker, but I am related to them outside (and sometimes inside) of [Wind]. I would update the guild message to say as such but lack the privileges so here I am. :’) Best regards to [TACR] in the meantime!

Well, that explains alot. Little too invested at this point to turn back but at the same time I don’t want to make enemies with another ranger guild. A guild alliance would be preferable, maybe one of the guild hosts guild missions on different days/timezones to reduce the strain on the leadership elements. While having two separate WvW bases at the same time. Anyhow I’m sure we’ll figure something out.

So WIND is back, sortof. However TACR is still recruiting out of Blackgate. I still want to see a ranger zerg sometime in the near future.

I’d like to join, I find myself transitioning to my Ranger more and more these days.
And now that I have a build that I really like on her, I think i’d like to work with other rangers to perfect it.

If I can’t contact you on skype, shoot my character Serenity Moonwalker an invite if you would.

Just started publicly recruiting outside of forums, and I’ve discovered a few things. First being is the large number of people telling me off for starting a ranger guild and generally being a rude kitten to me. “Rangers are all mouth breathers” “all rangers must die” are some examples, usually followed by a block.

Second thing I’ve discovered from the first, is that this tells me what people really think and act like when not bound by forum or guild rules of etiquette. Basically they wrap up their ranger bias in nice little box with a pretty bow that is presented in the form of critique.

The third comes from the second, an active ranger community is MANDATORY if we plan to do ANYTHING without getting barred from playing the game by other classes who base kicking us out of instances upon a premeditated bias. Once we([TACR]) hit our 500 member cap we’ll start by referring and sending people to [Wind], once [Wind] is filled we’ll branch out even further one server at a time all run by anyone willing to take up the mantle(We’ll offer support). Eventually we may even be able to have guild missions, dungeons, fractals, living world content, map completion, team pvp, and living world content completion running every single day of the week for rangers wanting to play Guild Wars without being sh** on.

I’ve received alot of support along with the flaming for starting a ranger guild. It’s that “I get it. I know what it feels like to be devalued” feeling from other rangers that has motivated me to help make this colossal undertaking a reality. Even though expanding [TACR] and [Wind] will take at least 2-3 months at the current rate of recruitment. By the beginning of 2015 I want a community so massive in scope that it will make all the meta classes want to re-roll THEIR class and join our massive multi-server family.

I once saw a guy named “ranger reroll”, and people we’re constantly complimenting him on his username. I want things like that to go poof by 2015.

I get it MuchWaffle, but the bias is something that will take longer to dissapear. I think that, for now the best thing that can be done, is to grow the community itself in a positive and constructive manner. Find rangers who have free time to play within different time zones (I think there are 3 in general), who are experienced and want to run events in the guild. 24 hours / 3 = 8 hours a piece, you can make it so that every 8 hours events regarding PvP, WvW, PvE are done by people who are consistently active during those times. With such a big ranger community, in the long run it shouldn’t be too difficult to find volunteers for this purpose. The events should be scheduled daily even if people won’t do them, but they will begin to slowly but surely until it becomes a near daily basis thing.

I like Winds and I am a member there, but the main problem I find is that nothing happens when I am online and no one is repping. The guild has been running for some time now so I’d expect a little more from it. When I log in and I don’t want to roam with the people I know in game in other guilds, I want to play with rangers. Be it in WvW or in PvE or in PvP, but it’s hard to do that with how things are now. So I think a structure should be set, so that goals can be accomplished by the ranger community. If you really are interested (as you say above) in the future of rangers as a profession, a well structured guild should be your first step; think of how the [TTS] guild organized so well server wide when the Tequatl event came out, you could almost always log in at a specific push time and the guild would be running acccross in multiple servers, across the 10+ expansions of the guild, across most overflows.

I liked Wind when it was first started…but I think people ran out of steam or just quit? Not many repping so there is hardly anyone to talk to. It’s frustrating, because it was supposed to be a place where the ranger community could discuss ranger stuff and not get the usual ‘hurr durr ranger sux!!11 go roll warrior noob’ junk that is spewed over these forums. Doesn’t help when people are logged in but repping other guilds, how are we supposed to get advice that way?

I am on Sanctum of Rall…feel free to add me whenever you can to TACR. I’d be happy to join

Sco The Hunter will join.

Ideally I wanted to have guild missions to be the pivotal point, but you make a valid point on having regular events whether or not people show up or not. Having events is something I need to start now rather than later and me waiting on upgrades to finish will drive a knife into this guild before it gets anywhere.

I’m a casual player and only play GW2 about once every 2 weeks, but Ranger is my only 80 and I foresee it’ll remain my only 80 for a very long time to come. I’ll send you an in-game mail later when I get back from work.

I’ll take an invite!

Deal braker for me sorry!

Jokes aside, best of luck with the guild. Hopefully we see less and less of the old hostile ranger mentality.

Always good to see support from other rangers even if they have interest in joining

Effective immediately all new members will be transitioned into the “stay” rank.

I’d be happy to join, I’ve been taking a gw2 break but I’m starting again and I’d love to play on my ranger for the next months or so.

Thanks for the invite, joined!
However, reading the MOTD, I have a question:

What happens when I am leveling an alt which is not my Ranger main?
Am I still required to rep this guild or face being kicked?

I ask because when I’m not on my Ranger, I will not rep. I feel it doesn’t make sense for a [non-Ranger] to rep a Ranger guild, RP wise.

We honestly don’t have a problem with that, in fact the guild actually benefits from having people who see things from the perspective of the other classes. Not to mention it will make you more effective in PvP and WvW knowing where the few weak-points of whatever flavor-of-the-month meta build warriors and such are running. Not to mention I’d be the biggest hypocrite for placing class restrictions in a guild that recruits people denied access to many areas of GW2

In short playing ranger is more of a preference and helps with the appeal of a supportive ranger guild. The one thing that is mandatory is being supportive of the guild and not creating a hostile environment for ranger players. Still it is strongly encouraged you roll ranger during guild events and we may ask you to do so though we wont force it. Not as big of a deal when you roll another class on your time, but when you roll a class on the guild’s time it’s common curtsy to roll ranger.

So don’t get surprised seeing a [TACR] mesmer offering to port guildies to the end of a jumping puzzle in guild chat.

Upgrades/Ts3 are now complete, we are live again!

Send me an invite for sure. On Gate of Madness but I can still participate in everything but WvW.

This sounds awesome, count me in! I’ve been maining ranger since launch and have to say its my favorite class. I do have a lvl 80 mesmer that I still hop on when I need to mix it up..

I’m mostly focusing my time on doingevents in CS/Frostgorge for gathering ascended mats, occasionally eotm farming too but will help out with whatever I can. I would like to get more experience in dungeons and some of the revamped world bosses that have changed since I came back from break.

Sounds like this will be a great community and a lot of fun! I’ll send an request after I get off from work!

lvl 80 ranger – One Life One Arrow
Fergusson Crossing

I haven’t had much time to play lately, and I have my own guilds to rep, but if you ever need help theorycrafting, hit me up.

- Commanded (no tag) for a zergbusting guild and created most of the builds used
– Know my way around tPvP :]
– All I do (literally) is duel in-game
– I am very experienced with all types of builds and know how to play them well, this does not only apply to ranger. (The only classes I don’t play as much are engi, necro, and guard, though I’ve fought and still played them long enough to know how they all work.)
– I’ve played ranger since launch
– And I very strongly dislike PvE. haha

The only thing is I won’t rep much. I don’t really PvE so I won’t have a reason to guest, and I have my own guilds to take care of. Also, it might be awhile before I can accept the invite depending on how long until I return. But again, if you ever need any help training the new guys or anything, let me know and I’ll free up some time.

I’ve actually set aside ranks for people who want to contribute to the ranger community but can’t because of obligations elsewhere. I have several people occupying the Guild Ally role from [Wind] and we do sPvP match-ups occasionally, and I have someone occupying a Guild Advisor Rank. Both ranks are exempt from the rep requirement and any other guild requirements. The difference is that the Guild Advisor rank reflects the experience of the individual with ranger game-play and you may get the occasional whisper from someone with questions.

The best way to do this is to hop in from time to time whenever you’re jumping into PvP and ask the rangers to join you, unless you plan on doing anything competitive. Personally, I made up a tPvP group made from 3 rangers (including myself) 1 guard and 1 ele and we won every match that we played. Also I have begun inviting rangers to a highly competitive solo PvP arena I found to help them enhance their skills, as someone interested in the development of rangers in GW2.

I’m currently contemplating disbanding [TACR].

MuchWaffle.2579:

I’m currently contemplating disbanding [TACR].

I can understand why but why don’t you explain it for the ranger community a little bit? Also, will there be a merge effort into [Winds]?

[TACR] is disbanded until further notice for support reasons. No merger will occur as I have heard nothing from [WIND] leadership elements. All members except coordinators have been kicked.

I may continue [TACR] in the future when I have the time and patience to do so. Without NA officers to help with managing the guild I simply cannot dedicate enough time to the guild.

If I have inconvenienced you in any way I apologize.

Is ok, thanks for trying

I’ll see you in game Waffle, keep in touch!
