Guild Wars 2

To Neksis, thank you for the invitation, and I love the sound of the guild. I have recently received a pm invitation to another guild however, and they also desire 100% representation.

I appreciate your offer and hope your guild prospers with players that will lead your guild to a long and healthy relationship with GW2 going forward. See you in Tyria if the Megaserver decides our paths should meet

Hello GW2 Community! I recently returned to the game, and am very glad to be back. I am currently looking for a guild that fits my play style, so I will give the rundown:

What I can offer:
I have a level 80 Ranger and Elementalist, with an upcoming Warrior and interest in more classes later on. I’m a fun loving guy with years of MMO experience, (7 years FFXI with a single guild/linkshell, 3 years City of Heroes with 1 guild/supergroup, 2 years Final Fantasy XIV with 1 guild/free company, played just about every p2p MMO on the market for varying degrees of time) and a heavy interest in all of GW2’s styles of play.

I’m a very semi-anti meta kind of person. This means I understand the concept of the meta, realize why it’s important to some people, and respect it as well as adhere to it when top tier tactics are called for, however, I do not want it to define my enjoyment with the game.

I came back to GW2 because during my prior time with it, I enjoyed creating custom builds or playing classes in ways that allowed me to enjoy myself whilst still being effective, at the cost of not being the absolute most effective, something other MMO’s just do not allow you to do with their rigid styles of play. I recently had a bad guild experience in which a player in charge tried to force me into certain classes and builds, calling the classes I enjoyed useless for his purposes, and that hit me sorely in a bad spot.

I want to hang out with a group of people that enjoy the game together and don’t hamper on anyone’s ability to enjoy the game they way they want. So I ask for this:

What I’m looking for:

- Social PvX guild with a friendly community
- A guild that encourages theorycrafting and non-meta builds designed to play the way the players enjoy
- Preferably a guild that actively does community events and Guild Missions

What I DO NOT want:
- Hardcore speed run oriented guilds
- Dedicated WvW (though I love WvW itself) guilds that require certain classes, tactics, and require attendance
- Guilds that only embrace the meta and laugh at the thought of someone trying different things

I stress, I do not have anything against the meta or people who are in WvW guilds, it’s just not what I am looking for in the game. Please leave a message if you are interested in having me, and may you always have lots of tasty potato’s to eat!

From your description you might be interested in playing engineer.

It’s the jack-of-all-trades profession with a huge variety of utilities/skills to choose from, involves a lot of juggling actions to optimize damage but is top tier DPS, with some great support abilites and the ability to fill in most gaps in party composition. The only thing that’s kind of lacking is the ‘melee combat’ part, but only kind of because while most of the engineer’s weapons and kits are technically ranged they actually do the most damage at medium-to-melee range (think shotgun instead of rifle, basically – technically a gun, but if you want maximum kaboom you gotta be up in the enemy’s face).

Also worth noting that the expansion is going to let engineers use hammer, which might fill in what aggressive in-your-face melee playstyle we’re currently lacking.

I think I’m gonna give it a shot, sounds pretty awesome, thanks!

Hello Guild Wars 2 community! I am a returning player to the game and was looking to start completely fresh. Back when I played, I had an Elementalist, Mesmer, Ranger, and Guardian at 80, but split my time between them so evenly I never really took the time to get into any of them too deeply. I want to change that this time around, actually explore the maps, enjoy the story, and not just gungho a bunch of classes to the endgame, but at the same time still enjoy PVP, WvW, and endgame content.

To that end, I want to start a new character (whether I have played the class or not) that I really want to delve into, but I need help choosing a class. I enjoy:
-Being versatile
-Fast paced melee combat
-Supporting allies
-Deep Customization (Class that has more variety in its builds than cookie cutter, “best to use in most situations” ones)

I would also appreciate being filled in on what has changed with the game. Suffice to say, the announcement of Heart of Thorns is what is bringing me back, but I left about 2-3 months after Fractal of the Mists was introduced, so anything important that has been added since would be much obliged.
