Guild Wars 2

I (and potentially a number of others) would be interested in joining a casual but competent PvX guild, preferably on the BlackGate (US) server. At a minimum the guild should have a strong PvE focus. Active in BlackGate WvW is also strongly preferred.

The ideal guild would:
1. be casual (ie no class/stat elitism)
2. competent, or at least willing to learn
3. have a number of active, experienced members who frequent Arah, FotM 30s/40s, etc.
4. are here for the long run (ie, no intention to jump to another game such as ESO)
5. small but active (the smaller the better, but must have 5 to 10 people on per night)

A bit out me (/us). Like many guilds we have been hit with some attrition. At this point joining or merging with another like minded guild is a more attractive option than exerting the effort required to maintain our community.

Some of us have been going our separate ways, but for the right guild I expect up to a dozen may follow me.

Personally I have been playing since shortly after release, and have no intention of picking up another MMO. Well over 12k achievement points, 3 legendaries, dungeon master, FotM 50, etc… (yes I play a bit too much). You will typically see me on my Ele, and typically in FotM.

Give me a shout (ign: Matthew Lahoc) if you think your guild may be a good fit.

My current guild is essentially dead at this point but I still seem to still be motivated to play. Thus I figured would shoot this out there to see if there are any great options for me specifically.

What I am looking for is a casual, yet skilled/knowledgeable guild that is on the small to medium size. The guild needs to be large or active enough that it can pull groups together (without pugs) yet small enough that you can really get to know the people who you play with regularly. (Ie. I don’t want a guild run to feel like a pug run.)

By casual I mean that the people are there to enjoy the game and that it is enjoyable to run with them. I have no interest in a guild that would dictate which professions, equipment or skills would be used for a simple dungeon run. (ie no war zerker CoF) Again, casual only please.

On top of all that, I’ll put in one more requirement, I would really like to finish Arah (1 path down thus far). It doesn’t seem like a fun one to pug, so it would be a great way to kitten how casual and enjoyable a new guild might be. Please note that I am looking for people who know Arah and are willing to teach Arah, not for a group that will try and stumble through it (although that would be a great attitude and meet the rest of the requirements).

Other nice to haves would be lvl 30+ FotM runs and maybe even some WvW (Which I would be new to)

…. now with all those demands, you will probably want to know what your going to get. I am a long time Guild Wars fan (first couple months of the original GW1 release) and I am fairly knowledgeable and skilled in PvE. (7k achievement, legendary, 4 lvl 80s, etc.) I rarely do WvW and almost never do PvP. My main character is an Ele which is what I am on most of the time. Other 80s are Mes, War and Guard, however I won’t claim to be experienced with any of those. Eventually I’ll have each of the professions to 80.

In RL I am recently a new father, between that and my some times erratic work schedule there is further need for the ideal guild to be casual (I can be out of the country for a couple weeks at a time, albeit rarely). I typically log into GW2 daily, if for nothing else, to complete my dailies However, I could certainly see myself being on more if there is a good group of people to run with.

I plan to stay on the NA Northern Shiverpeaks server for now, but would consider jumping to another for the right guild (maybe after we finish those Arah runs).

I hate to join the kitten fest on Adnul, but he does seem to still be bugged.

Bugs:
-Invisible Critique, at the start of some matches he seems to have critique up without having the icon up
-Chained Critique, while he may not re-critique on the 3rd round of having critique up, he does seem to do it on the second, and very rarely the first (ie back to back).

Not a bug but very annoying:
-Doesn’t take enough damage/heals too much, while it doesn’t seem to be a bug, he just has way too much health and doesn’t take any damage, even those he rarely bluffs. Even with counting his skill uses it doesn’t seem like he can be beaten unless you correctly predict every skill he uses.
-Great timing on Critique, he often has perfect timing on when to critique if when not chained. (~75% health or lower, immediately after he countered your water)

I’d offer strategy advice such always bluff a couple turns after he Belches and save you own Belch and Water for when he could Belch… however i still haven’t beat him, so take it for whakittens worth.

Lords of Lunacy [LoL] is a truly casual group of PvE focused players. You won’t find any character class elitism or players who get angry if a dungeon takes 14 seconds longer than normal. That being said, you wont find any incompetent players here either.

[LoL] is currently in a state of transition and rebuild after removing an excessive volume inactive members from our guild roster. We are now looking to build up our numbers such that we are large enough always have a group or two ready or go, but small enough that you get to know most of the members.

Each guild category is currently built to level 5 and slowly expanding. Most of our members are on the NA Northern Shiverpeaks Server.

If you are a casual player and looking for a welcoming, helpful group of casual players, give me a shout (IGN: Matthew Lahoc)

I still seem to be down ~100 points.

(Was down ~500 points earlier today, but with the latest update i’m still down, just not quite as much.)
