Guild Wars 2

I have updated the recruitment message to give a better outline of the guild. Also changed up the formatting a bit so it’s easier to read and it’s not just one big long blob of text.

CalamityO that thread is FILLED with great ideas. I have that tab open permanently until i am done browsing through it and picking ideas that best suit my guild. Thank you so much.

Thanks Esya i will start doing that to see if i can make any improvements within the guild. I thought about doing that with the one hardcore member who transferred servers for me and left without notice. Guess i just felt really rejected lol

I am actually quite chatty and welcoming and always answering questions. I even offer to help them level their characters any way they want to level. I have set up a channel in our servers ts3 so that there is a sense of community. I offer up exp and karma banners when they want to level/karma train and even help out with builds.

It just feels that they get recruited out from under me.

I don’t know how to be more welcoming and chatty to the guild. Setting up a facebook page is actually a good idea along with the website i am creating. It will add more of a sense of community. So thank you for that suggestion.

I also like to get them involved in the events i run when i command on SoR since our server website has an event/participation system.

But if any other hardcore guilds have any more recruitment tactics i’ll be glad to listen

well i managed to find ONE single player on the SoR server outside of wvw. This needs to be fixed.

i do mention my server when advertising for guilds now since this new megaserver bull crap but all the servers seem to be filled up with other servers! There is no more server identity and server pride. It’s become just one big server except in wvw. I HATE this system with a passion.

only problem with guesting is you can’t guest into wvw or this wouldn’t be an issue for me. :/

I have been trying to recruit for my guild that i have just created that focuses on wvw and causing havoc across all borderlands. I am on the SoR server. Well i go to areas to recruit and all i get are people from OTHER SERVERS! This is complete bull.

I try to recruit in wvw but most people in wvw already have a guild they run wvw with so it seems pointless to try to recruit them. The ones without tags often just ignore my whispers about my guild and do their own thing. Which is fine since that’s how they choose to play.

How am i supposed to recruit like minded individuals on the SoR server if all the maps i try to recruit on are just full of people from every other server. It’s not like i can ask them to either delete all their characters to do a free server transfer or pay a ridiculous 1800 gems for a server transfer! (Which by the way is a bit too high!)

Is there any solutions to recruiting people from my own server so that i can create a wvw guild? Because this megaserver is utter bull. It takes away from server pride and fighting for your server. I wish it was never implemented.

Thanks to all of those who followed me in WvW tonight while i was commanding. We had some fun and took some towers/keeps.

I have updated the post a bit to be a little more clear on the recruitment. I hope it helps Even if you’re not sure you want to join the guild just feel free to try it out on a trial basis and if it’s not for you no hard feelings if you decide to move on. I want you to be happy where you end up in game.

I have been trying my hardest to recruit a small community for my guild Terror Prophets{DERP} on SoR

Created a basic recruitment message to post in map chat which seems to annoy some people and i can understand why. I whisper people to ask them politely if they would like to join a new guild that’s main focus is wvw havoc and forming a tight knit community within the guild so no one gets lost in the crowd.

But i am coming up short. The few people i have gotten have left the guild within 24 hours even though i have spent over 200g to maximize upgrades as far as i can get them myself before people join. I didn’t want a bare bones guild for new members.

So what do you do to recruit? What are your tried and true methods? I am open to any suggestions.

I want to see my thief’s body! I made him sexy for a reason.

Still looking for some fun members to join a tight knit community and have some fun!

Will be running a havoc group tonight across all maps so if you see Commander Name Here Name Here feel free to join me and create some chaos. All are welcome to join of course.

OUR FOCUS
Our focus is to foster a small semi wholesome community and form a tight knit group of people to cause havoc

Requirements

• Be on the Sanctum of Rall Server

• Have Teamspeak 3. You are not required to talk, but you are required to listen during commanding events in WvW. Although we welcome everyone to speak up and have a nice conversation with us

• There are no level requirements. You can be level 2 or you can be level 80. We will not discriminate against players level/skill. The more you play the better you become so i wish for my guild not to be elitist and only take those deemed worthy by other guilds to be the “Top Dogs” of our server because everyone matters.

Rules

• Be respectful of other members of our guild and of our server. We want to strive to be a guild that everyone is happy to be in no matter if they are just passing through or life time members.

• You are required to rep in WvW. We want our presence to be known in WvW and to do so our tag needs to be shown. You may of course rep other guilds that are more PvE oriented if you are doing PvE content.

• Curse words in guild chat to a minimum. I am not saying you can not drop the F Bomb every now and then or the occasional naughty word, but keep in mind some members may take offense to foul language so lets not go on a rant with a stream of curse words.

What we offer

• A small community where no one gets lost in the shuffle of a big guild.

• An increasing number of buffs available in the upgrades section. I have spent probably an insane amount of gold to get buffs going so we are not running on a bare bones guild here. I have stopped purchasing influence at this time and am waiting for members to help earn influence so hop on into guild and help us earn that influence!

• WvW training. This includes siege placement during attacking/defending towers. As well as the best way to run havoc groups as to not get caught out in the open while we are trying to be stealthy.

• Will be offering fun events when our roster fills up a little bit. These are undecided and will most likely be chosen based on player input. I believe in the guild the opinion of the player base trumps the opinion of the leader when it comes to fun things to do. We will try to accommodate as many players as possible, but we can’t please everyone.

• A nice little channel on our servers Teamspeak3. SoR has it’s own TS3 server for anyone to use. The moderators have set up a [DERP] Channel for the guild so we will have our own space to communicate or just hang out when we are doing our own thing.

Keep in mind
The guild will grow slowly so i need people who are willing to dedicate time and effort into making a community that we can all be proud to call our own. It’s rather hard to start a guild out there with so many established guilds. Not going to lie about that. It’s just a simple fact.

Side note: Even if you are unsure whether this guild will be a fit for you you may join on a trial basis and see if it’s what you want out of a guild. There will be no hard feelings if you decide to move on to another guild. All i ask is for your feedback when leaving the guild that way if there are improvements to be made i can adjust and make a better environment for the rest of the guild.

For An Invite
Please send a message to me in game at danno.5269 and we will discuss any questions you may have about the guild to see if it’s a fit for you. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you in game!

Website and Facebook page will be coming soon. They are in development at the moment.

Okay i altered. What are y’alls thoughts on this one. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1aYIs

What about this ? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1aTmr

Okay here is what i am looking for on http://pcpartpicker.com/.

CPU quad core i3 or AMD equiv
A motherboard and processor that can be overclocked with a fan for the extra cooling. Motherboard must have 8 gigs of ram but upgradable to 16 if choose (if that’s too pricey 8 will be fine).
Hard drive. I just need a fast accessing hard drive. Whether it be SSD or not.
Video card that can handle many modern games at a fair price.
I don’t know what kind of power supply to get. Or what kind of case to get. Just as long as it’s affordable im on board.

I dont want mega super computer. Just something much better than this crappy laptop.

Also 30-40 is unrealistic in wvw. I’d be fine with just 15-25 actually. Where its not a slide show

Behellagh.1468:

The most important thing Danno you need to build an affordable gaming PC is having reasonable expectations.

Of course you didn’t define what’s “affordable” to you. Also you didn’t mention resolution you wish to play at. I’m sure we could come up with a very affordable gaming PC that plays at 1280×720@60fps at the performance setting.

That would be a fine resolution for me.

all this seems like mumbo jumbo lol Is there any way you could use the pc builder sites and help me out a bit?

Much appreciated

I’m kind of an idiot when it comes to building a computer anymore. I was top notch back in windows 98 days, but things have changed so much.

So if anyone could help me build a system for even under my budget i would be appreciative

my budget would be 5-7 hundred dollars. I am on a fixed income and even that’s pricey. I will be even scouring craigslist and possibly ebay for parts if i have to (like computer cases) It’ll take me 2-4 months to build the PC. Overclocking wouldnt be a bad idea for a later date, but mostly i just want to run the games i have now like GW2/SWTOR/TSW/and any other game that comes out in the next 1-2 years. I could upgrade a little in the time frame. i guess.

As the title says i am looking to build an affordable destkop gaming pc that can get 60-80fps normal play and possibly a good 30-40 in wvw.

Not expecting miracles here, but you all know far more than i do.

Graphics card/motherboard/RAM/SSD/Processor. That works.

Thanks in advance. Links to sites welcome.

I am at 98% map completion only needing the red wvw map and the green wvw map for 100%. I have 97% on the red map completed it says, yet i have done everything on it. One of the vistas is not counting towards my map completion and i can’t figure out why. I have revisited them all twice.

It was a rally. I do it all the time i mist form when a mob is close to dead and let it die and rally while mist. Saves me ton

Sense no make……..

Pretty soon will be able to pick daily so i can suffer for a few more days. I just hate the daily aquatic slayer (don’t like underwater combat) and i really dislike gathering.

I thought i was crazy or lagging o.o Guess it’s not just me.

I’d like to say again. Please bring is more medium armor! Also i want skimpy medium armor for males! (Skimpy light/med/heavy)

Nope. I don’t put a lot of money into the game, but i do purchase gems occasionally through currency exchange which keeps Anet earning money. I don’t see myself paying any subscription for such a buggy game. Lag and culling has become a pain in the butt and class bugs are still ridiculous. I don’t see myself going anywhere though. Love running around the beautiful world that’s been created

I have tried to explain to multiple people to use control skills to get rid of defiant for certain bosses then we could interrupt a cast, but no one listens or pays attention to it. It’s not that difficult to just dodge outta the way anyway so it’s not a huge deal. It would certainly make things easier if everyone did it, but oh well

We sometimes have this issue as well. Best thing i have found is her death or using WP all the way back to beginning of dungeon then running with her to flooded temple again. Same thing happens to hodgins sometimes. If her death or wp doesn’t work, not sure if anything will.

It’s not a bug. It’s an update to the game that doesn’t allow you or anyone to res if someone is in combat. They will have to manually revive you or finish without you or your defeated party members.

Male and have both male and female.

The chests are indeed broken. Keep getting blues when a chest pops up, and its only supposed to be rare or higher. I get all excited for nothing.

No. No point in a higher level cap with level scaling.

If my illusion of life was an actual revive skill i might be okay with some of this, but as it stands now in dungeons it’s only good when the mobs/bosses are already close to death and there is no sense in using it because they will rally when it’s dead anyway. Only if they have 10 percent or below health is it even okay to use because then they are just gonna die anyway -_-

I am a little hesitant about this, but as long as some of the things are toned down i dont see an issue. Like magg in path 2 of CoF. This part was just too hard for many of the squads i was in and only was actually able to find a squad that could do it a couple times. It says it’s been changed so i hope its a good change

I still find this bow hilarious and would get it for myself if i could afford it. I want to see a whole squad of people with this bow just chasing down a zerg in wvw yelling STAMPEDE

I do this puzzle daily and have fun doing it Gotten it down, even go through the black room pretty often without a fall. I do make a mistake now and then. If waypoints didn’t cost so much i’d probably do every puzzle daily just because it’s my favorite part of the game.

Might as well do it.

1) Would you prefer ascended gear to be the last tier implemented for the remainder of GW2? Yes. I don’t like games with gear grinds where you take a break, come back, and end up behind everyone else.

2) Would you prefer ascended gear to be equal to exotic gear in all statistics except agony resistance? Personally, yes. I do think other mechanics with agony should be implemented that offer better rewards for those who acquire all ascended gear.

3) Would you prefer the level cap to remain at 80 for the remainder of GW2? Yes. I don’t think there is a point in higher levels with level scaling. Just keep adding 80 content and there will be no need for a level cap.

4) Would you prefer if WvW was set up on an equal playing field similar to PvP? Nah.

5) Would you prefer if WvW / PvP / PvE had separate skill functionalities? It seems this is the way things need to go. Right now some skills are OP in wvw, yet underpowered in pve

6) Would you prefer if Magic Find was removed from the game completely? I would love if it were, and then have drop rates increased. Magic find seems like a useless mechanic.
7) Would you prefer if Magic Find was divided equally amongst all party members? Seems silly.

8) Is GW2 too ‘Grindy?’ Not at the moment, but i feel its going that way with ascended.

9) Does GW2 need less RNG? For certain things like precursors, yes.

10) Has the Trading Post [and all its users/farmers] positively impacted the economy? No opinion at this time.

11) Do you have as much faith [and/or enthusiasm] about the game [and/or company] as you did before launch? No i do not.

12) Do you reasonably expect [many of] your primary concerns to be addressed in early 2013? I am hoping so. The majority of my concerns are bug related and class balancing.

If AoEs get nerfed my d/d ele will just collect dust. And of course we aoe people trying to revive others! What do you expect us to do? Let them revive them so they can just stay up and moving forever! That’s ridiculous. Mesmer portal is for mesmers. -_- Don’t mess things up worse. Just improve the broken bits.

Fozzik.1742:

It all sounds really good. The only thing that is a tiny bit frustrating is the TONS of achievements I’ve already completed and gotten nothing for. I wish I could do them over again once they are worth tokens. =\

I am hoping the same thing. I have completed so many achievements, and want them to be worth something. Even if i have to do them again, i’ll suck it up and do it.

I am intrigued at the new rewards coming. Hopefully it gets people into all zones again!

I prefer ele with a d/d build. Lots of combos and control skills. Very fun to play.

The mystic clovers are also the thing that i am dreading for my legendary. I always seem to have the worst luck. I doubt i’ll ever be fortunate enough to actually get a legendary.

I want raids, but only for WvW. Also an improved/fixed party system.

Would love this in wvw But would hate this in wvw -_- lol

Elementalists figure out the best build for their class and learn how to play it and you want it nerfed? Hmm that’s so smart! I agree d/d elementalists are powerful. If played correctly. An ele was my first character created and i was d/d and staff from the get go. More staff to start, but then switched to d/d because i just enjoyed the play style.

It’s not overpowered. If you watch what an ele does you can predict what they will do and counter it/dodge it and be just fine. I have played on my ranger and taken down d/d eles. And they knew what they were doing, but just couldnt get me under control because i knew when to dodge and counter.

If you want to complain about an OP class, complain about thieves. Stealth and culling issues make them a real pain.

This topic is just silly -_-
