Maxed guild hall services, Teamspeak, and Facebook community.
[Official Website]
[Quick teaser on guild culture]
Active Community
Join the groups! Get progression and the interaction on the content that you love. Events and activities in all three game types for Guild Wars 2, hosted by your guild, with a 0% rep policy. Adult teamspeak presence with little shame, and active off-hours discussion.
Daily & Weekly Schedule
A successful menu of events for both casual and progressive core. WvW, raid, and leagues for the consistent players, with consistent guild daily groups for the casuals. Three years of guild-hosted events has kept the Rakk community busy (and wealthy!).
The Raid Core
Tuesday R&D (training) and Thursday Core, casual and progression respectively. Some take raiding a little bit more seriously, and some others just prefer to have fun and need an excuse to drink. Either way, each group is organized by veterans who keep the focus on expectations.
WvW, Gate of Madness
Proud to represent GoM with wvw missions, dailies, and server events. As one of many active wvw guilds on our server, Rakkenheid coordinates with GoM communities for tier progression. Builds and compositions are open, though situational awareness is required!
About the Guild
Rakkenheid has been running since 2010, keeping a strong player core with a progressive model. Most of the community plays Guild Wars 2, in all three game types: WvW on Gate of Madness, Raid progression in Spirit Vale, and SPvP with Team Crutch.
The community is active in game and out. Social media and a voice server keep members connected with changes, events, and casual chat. The majority of Rakkenheid’s success as a guild has come from the community’s connective culture.
From here, Rakkenheid is extending out to a heavier server presence in wvw with zerg-busting and map clears. Raid progression will push through to the new raid wings, focusing on a dedicated core and plenty of training spots for carry nights.
Guild Events
Guild events run throughout the week, covering Guild Wars’ main game types, along with player- created content. Most content is open to the public, those outside of the guild, though most of World vs World is limited to those on Gate of Madness.
All events start at 10pm EST, and usually last for 3-4 hours thereafter.
Dailies are hosted by Rakkenheid, groups running dailies in WvW, dungeon and fractal dailies, and and quick PvP dailies in the guild’s private room. These usually start at 9pm EST and continue after the day’s main event.

Ranks and Rights
Keeping things simple, when it comes to ranks and rights, has made life a lot easier in the Rakkenheid community. Currently, there’s only one rank, no officer-ship, and no rep policy. With matters of the game, much of the guild rights are open to the community. Members can start their own events, guild missions, claim objectives, scribe and decorate as they please.
There is, however, a recognition of both veteran and core within the Rakk community. Raid spots, for example, favor those who are more familiar and reliable within the guild. This being said, Rakkenheid prides itself with keeping cliques out of general guild activity.
Guild Diversity
Having a maxed guild means that there’s going to be a lot of different types of players. Without a doubt, over the years, Rakkenheid has had plenty of diversity in both its casual and core roster. Our goal is to attract, develop and retain the best and brightest from all player backgrounds. This requires a guild to have a culture of inclusion where all individuals feel respected, are treated fairly, provided casual/core balance, and an opportunity to progress in their chosen game types.

Forming squad for pve guild missions ten minutes before 10pm EST, Monday night, starting with bounties/challenges and ending with puzzles/rushes.
Skipping treks this week.
Missions take anywhere from 30-40 minutes, give about 3g and 10-12 rares.
Group leads usually prefer you to be on characters that have the most map completion.
Mail me (Hahn.6874) if you have any questions, or want to be put on the contact list.
I hate it when those thieves pop in shroud and you have to burn through two life bars just to MAYBE get them down. And then when they chain their invulnerable skills, blocking all my attacks. The worst, by far, is when those thieves spam spell immunities and auto condition transfers from their pets and omg when thief clones start popping up everywhere and you have to bring counters and situational environmental awareness.
I have the perfect solution.
Message Hahn.6874 when you log on next.
Prepare to be dazzled.
The best counter to it is simply cleansing and moving away.
You weren’t prepared to counter a rare thief build.
Please do not rely on a trait that pulls condi’s from you once every 10 seconds. Consider using healing spring or a traited troll unguent. Have a brown bear for a pet swap. That thief’s rotation is very tricky, and would be ruined by one good clutch condi clear.
You can’t complain if you don’t come prepared.
If you use auto cast to stay active while your pet tags for you, you will be banned for botting.
So, if I purchase an apple from the store, will I be arrested for shoplifting?
Something’s causing the GM to think that I’m botting. Which, as stated, I’m not. I’m here to figure out if there’s something in game causing the error. I’m very curious if re-assigning the autocast gives a false signal to any GM.
Incorrect.
You can autocast Troll Unguent. It’s part of some survival builds.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Troll_Unguent
I put my auto-cast (ctrl+right click) on my #6 heal ability and walked away, only to come back, shortly after, to a suspension stating that I was using third party software/macros. Is there something that causes ctrl + right click being moved from default #1 to #6 to cause Arena Net to think I’m using third party software? Perhaps a bug?
Open missions @ 10pm EST
No post-event guild repping required (or anything equally silly): It’s a service to the community with people who know what they’re doing. Teamspeak would be preferred, however, when it comes time to do challenges and treks.
Message Hahn.6874 before 10pm EST for squad invites.
Portals will be available in the guild hall, for lowbies.
We’re doing pve missions tonight at 10pm EST.
Message/mail me. No out-dated rep requirements.
Challenge, Trek, Bounties and others start at 10:30pm EST tonight.
Anyone’s welcome to join to knock out this week’s mission loot.
One night stand’s are welcome.
/w Hahn or Hahn.68.74 for info.
Weird, your necromancer has mesmer abilities on your skill bar.
Being able to move out of travelers runes would add more to Guardian builds than any change they could conceivably make right now, frankly.
He’s right!
In pvp/wvw situations, this is so freaking huge.
I’m guessing that anyone who says otherwise is used to pve content that has you standing in place for predictable content.
Yea, but travelers shouldn’t be a requirement to keep up as melee.
Ok ok. How about altering unscathed contender in virtues line (because really who doesnt use vitrues line) to also add 5 sec of swiftness applied at 5 sec intervals while you have applied aegis. It would work perfectly with the minor because it also relates to having applied aegis, while ooc you can have perma swifness, and while in combat you can get short bursts while using skills & traits that apply aegis. Fixed your welcome!
I was actually thinking about this on the way home from work. It makes sense.
It’s also tied to a deep class mechanic. +1
Pure of Voice + Runes of the Pack + Retreat + Save Yourselves = 100% swiftness
Or just have one trait, minor or otherwise, like other classes.
It’s like your goal is to kill Gary Busey, so you device a long string of traps and devices to take him down: A trip wire so he falls in kitten, a collection of mice to greet him in this hole, and a week beforehand of training said mice to like the taste of human.
Meanwhile, someone else could’ve just hit him on the back of the head with a baseball bat. There’s the difference.
edit: My analogy ruined by the word “a” before the word “hole”. There is no kitten.

Did we ever figure out why guardians are the only ones without speed trait hand-out’s?
I’m more curious about this, after seeing all of the other professions’ changes.
Almost seems smaller with birds. Still an issue, a month later.

Best feature of the patch. Quaggans now have both jumping and dodge animations.
