Guild Wars 2

Although I certainly see the lore-link in your question I believe this is still more suited to a different thread.

I’m not trying to bash on you but I feel this question has less regards to the lore of Tyria and more to the personal favour of the player, with perhaps a motivation of lore.

Then again we do have this thread: [POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD]
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lore/SPOILERS-Tybalt

Although I’d argue it’s more focussed on the reason for why Tybalt would ever deserve to become a Mist Champion lore-wise.

In the end I’d like to suggest the PvP forums.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp
Agreed, it’s a different crowd of players who may think of the mechanics instead of the lore as reasoning for choosing a champion, but it’s a more fitting place than the lore-category.

Personally I’d always taken Zhaitans different depictions before we actually meet the Dragon as something quite natural.

Do we know that the Tyrians knew what the Dragon looked like before our fight?
I believe the only thing we, as Tyrians, knew was that there was a Dragon.

To further illustrate take European Explorers:
European Explorers came to many foreign lands and discovered many a Flora and Fauna.
An example of this is the lion.

https://www.reading.ac.uk/web/MultimediaFiles/emrc_lion.JPG
This is how European artists would depict the lion, solely based on descriptions.
In the current days we know that this is really not what a lion looks like.
But that’s because we have something to compare it to, namely:
http://cbs.umn.edu/sites/cbs.umn.edu/files/public/african_lion_king-wide_1.jpg

If all the orders and other Tyrians (including the PC) would’ve known exactly what the Dragon would look like. The game would’ve been a lot less immersive for me.

Sadly most of our information, even to this very day, is second-hand. (in the least!)
The information we receive isn’t always 100% correct and this affects minds a lot.
Be it visual (such as the lion/dragon) or even up to the poitical. (North Korea, and who knows which Tyrian faction that believes they’re doing the right thing while actually being controlled by a manipulative leader.cough the PC during the White Mantle arc in GW1 ^^)

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Golden_Lost_Badge

These have the White Mantle Emblem sewn into them.
The Silverwastes do have a selection of references to the White Mantle.

Other than that, I fear creating a new thread would’ve been better as the OP’s question had been answered effectively closing the thread. ^^

although it’sometimes fun to use it as an extra to your build I wouldn’t focus entirely on it.
all it takes is a bit of stability or a death shroud and you’re countered hard.

If you like though you can get a lot of CC fun on a Dragonhunter by using Hammer + the Dragon’s Maw trap.

as long as they don’t use stability you can keep your enemies in line using your ring of warding, trap, knockback, immobilize etc. while not losing too much damage/sustain.

also it’s a lot of fun to drop a Ring of Warding once in a while.
I once met a Warrior who simply did not understand the concept of the Ring and kept trying to walk out of it being knocked back time after time!

We currently know that Queen Jennah has ordered the Desert Gate to be built and guarded effectively closing off the Crystal Desert because “Dark events have befallen the desert”.

While in itself this is no confirmation that Kralkatorrik is there at all, we only have the brand to possibly answer this question for us right now.
If you don’t know where something is, the best way of finding it again is to go where you’ve lost track of it.

We don’t know if the dragon is there for sure, but I’m not going to plan an expedition into the Far Shiverpeaks if the Crystal Desert is where we last saw the dragon headed. ^^

Bonus (obviously not serious-) tinfoil hat time
- Queen Jennah is Kralkatorrik’s Champion, and has sealed off the Crystal Desert as to make sure her master won’t be bothered too much.
- Queen Jennah called Logan back to her side because she knew her master would be in danger if Logan were to stay with Destiny’s Edge.

Sweden is taking over our guild, send reinforcements! ^^

There are plenty of threads with this topic already.
I suggest reading these for a bit.
I believe as far as we know right now:
A-net does not have the resources/tools to adds a LFG Raid section.
This is because the LFG tool may look simple but it’s balanced around teams of 5.
addings raids, which are 10 man, would be hard to implement.

This isn’t but a mere itzel bump, this is a Nuhoch Bump!
Given that Itzel are likely more agile…
anyhow… Bump achieved!

Eldrake.1543:

Well, the GW2 community do hate Logan to the core for his cowardice. I wouldn’t be surprised if Anet decided to kill him off to satisfy the community.

Sorry for going off-topic but…
When was Logan a coward?
I haven’t read Edge of Destiny in forever but I believe the situation was as follows:
There were 2 events happening at the same time:
Destiny’s Edge was off to slay kralkatorrik.
Queen Jennah was, I believe, in Ebonhawke as she and many others got attacked by a horde of Branded.

Logan was with Destiny’s Edge, yet had also pledged to protect the queen and come to her when summoned or in danger.

The reason for Logan heading off to Jennah could be attributed more to his loyalty than his cowardice. If you were to ask me at least.

the only “Blue Shield Lady” I recall is the “Blue Mace Lady” and well…
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Guardian_02_concept_art.jpg
This is her.
a Mace and a Shield.
Mace + Shield is a great weapon-set working well in GW2 and even being used in the meta.

I’m not saying you should follow the meta but this is to illustrate that in the very least mace/shield isn’t weak.

Also sword/shield is very possible. the blind + teleport on skill 2 works wonders and the shield is some great support. You just might want to use your off-hand weapon set a lot, especially IF you’ve played a lot of meta-builds before.
This is because Meta-builds are generally focussed on:
“As much offense as is possible, as much defense as is required.”

Guild Wars 2 is however still the game where you can play as you like without being useless. (although Raids are a bit more demanding of the “meta”) if you want to play a sword/shield guardian, please do so!

I, for one, wouldn’t kick you out of my party for doing so.

I, myself, have spent an entire day waiting for 2 events to appear in the Plains of Ashford.
The Battle of the Vaults and the Battle for Ascalon City.

The Battle of the Vaults event can be solo’d in less than a minute by a single player.

Now this comment will likely sound whiney to you, as if I’m here to say: “My case was worse so stop making forum posts!”

I assure you that’s not the reason for my reply.

I just mean to say that eventhough these events are terribly rare (The Battle of the Vaults having at least a 7 hour respawn count!) These are achievements for a legendary weapon. You may not always have “3 – 4 hours” to sit around waiting for temple events. But simply because you, or in fact a fraction of the community working towards this specific legendary, can’t find the opportunity to do something does not mean A-net is inclined to adjust their content.

I have seen plenty of players with the Astralaria, ask them how they overcame this challenge. Perhaps they had to ask their friends to help? Perhaps they struggled just as much as you did. But in the end they made it, they achieved their purpose and got the Astralaria. It’s an achievement worth a lot more than: “I paid a large sum of real world cash and bought a legendary.” Which you can’t even do with the Astralaria!

Finally, yes I know how awful it is to see a small amount of players ruin your progress.
Yet again, this adds to the challenge though.
As you said yourelf, it’s near-impossible not impossible.

Good luck and I truly hope you’ll find the event exactly as you want it, A-net has adjusted many legendary requirements for them not to require failing events anymore. Although this does not seem to apply to you entirely.

A personal suggestion:
Try heading to the temple immediately after a patch.
Hopefully the temple will be contested by default.

Good luck and tonnes of respect for having achieved your future Astralaria, as I’m sure it’ll be yours one day.

That’s very cute.

• Edit: I like the human in the back (left) “Geez, why won’t this charr stop posing for pictures and leave already!?”

As I can currently recall there may have been a few ghosts bound to objects in the history of Tyria.

At first, when reading your message I thought of the Ritualists’ item spells in GW.
These items were jars of ashes though. I am not sure if being bound to your remains would count as being bound to an item. (your remains can, after all be moved.)

Players were also able to summon the spirits of the Kurzick and Luxon heroes Saint Viktor and Archemorus who struck down Shiro Tagachi, although yet again I can’t confirm if this was their spirits being imbued in the items used for their summoning or the items being used as a means of opening a portal to the spirit realm, allow these spirits to leave the mists and aid the humans.

Many other ghosts seemed to be bound to a location however, such as the Sunspear Ghosts in Istan and the spirits of Tahnnakai Temple.

what makes me curious in your question is the:
"only appearing near that object?

Let’s say the item in question is a pendant.

• Would the ghost only appear when someone were to approach the pendant?
• Would the ghost only be ABLE to remain in close range of the pendant?

I still believe the Kurzicks and Luxons have the best answer for you.
Saint Viktor and Archemorus were “bound” to items.
The first to an urn, the second to a spear.
The catch still being:

• The urn contained the ashes of Saint Viktor.
• The spear was made of the bones of Archemorus.

TheBravery.9615:

imo arenanet needs to slow down and fix this mess first

^ There’s always at least one. :P
I agree that A-net should focus on improving what we currently have before rolling out expansion after expansion.

But this is but a mere innocent thread of what we’d dream of seeing in a future expansion.
“When” is not stated.
Who knows, the OP might have meant:
“an expansion after GW2 + GW2:HoT are completely fixed.”!
This wasn’t stated and as such can’t be argued about or used in an argument, it’s simply off-topic.
Like, I guess, many of my posts are as well.
(as such I mean no personal offence, just thought it was funny to notice how there’s always someone with your exact reply )

Oh and I’d love to add an Elonan expansion, this would be my Dream Expansion.
Palawa Joko, Junundu (that aren’t just a reskin of our current wurms), vast open plains, rich Vabbian oases and true ancient Istani cities to explore.

Elona and all its provinces held that many secrets we’ve never seen.
That many crypts left unexplored.

And just remember the beauty that was Fahranur, the first city.
Imagine the beauty it would attain in GW2.

To add to that, none of the GW expansions ever felt so serious to me as GW:Nightfall did. I love having a serious, dramatic plot in a setting that isn’t full of comic relief.

GW2 is fun, but I feel that it often feels too cheerful. Mordremoth was horrifyingly powerful and creepy, yet I remain in want of some true anguish and desperation.
The Sylvari, for eample, are an optimistic race (if you ask me) and this makes them appear quite shallow to me, no matter how rich their lore is.
I don’t want to sound too evil but I’d love to see them suffer.

This goes for humans as well, the humans are said to be in a tiresome war with the Centaurs among others, they have lost all but one last city (save Ebonhawke) and were often described as struggling.

Yet within the walls of Divinity’s Reach this isn’t to be noticed at all.
Caudecus’ funding of the festivities in Divinity’s Reach keep many of its citizens blind to the supposed pain and suffering outside the walls of the great city.
But venture out of these walls and you won’t notice THAT much suffering. Sure you see centaurs attacking human settlements, but do you experience any despair?
I believe most players don’t even notice the war unless someone points it out.
They see centaurs attacking the settlements and keeps, they see centaur camps, they see human slaves, but do they see the human fear?

I think Elona can offer us this anguish.
Palawa Joko is a tyrant, an amazingly well written villain in control of the continent.
Joko truly decides who lives and who dies solely to become another of his undead servants.

Thought Elona was bad during Nightfall? You don’t know how fearsome a tyrant can be.
A famine would be horrible but a famine enforced by the will of a single being is utterly terrifying! Not even the Sunspears could stop Palawa Joko, I wonder who can?

(Not to mention Palawa being strong enough to fight a war with 2 Elder Dragons (Zhaitan and Kralkatorrik) at the same time, a feat we couldn’t even dream of. Zhaitan being dead however, I wonder what happened to the war with Kralkatorrik. Did Joko gain the upper hand? Is Kralkatorrik already defeated? (not likely) or was Zhaitan simply not that fearsome compared to Kralkatorrik, the crystal storm of chaos.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

I wonder if Tahnanakai Temple still stands…and if the ancient hero spirits are still there. That would be a fun history lesson…

..and I wonder how Vizu would react to meeting a revenant channeling Shiro…

I’m saddened to inform you that if Tahnnakai Temple were to be still standing to this day in Cantha. (something very plausible as the current Canthan Emperor is in the greatest favour of the human race. and maintaining temples of human heroes is a great way to maintain human-pride.)

But back to topic:
If it were to stand to this very day it does not ensure the presence of Vizu or any of the other ancient heroes present in the temple at the time of our playthrough of GW:Factions or even Winds of Change.

This is simply because the Heroes change.
Take Kaolai for example. (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Kaolai)
Kaolai was replaced with Togo, simply because of Togo’s more recent heroic deeds.
It appears that the Tahnnakai Temple has but 1 spirit to represent each GW profession:

Warrior ? Jaizhanju
Ranger ? Zojun
Monk ? Karei
Necromancer ? Naku
Mesmer ? Kitah
Elementalist ? Teinai
Assassin ? Vizu
Ritualist ? Kaolai ? Togo

Vizu, the Assassin representative has a chance of having been replaced by another hero, together with all other spirits, including Togo.

To give some hope however…

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mistward_armor

you can unlock this armour by playing a revenant and completing a few collections.
(I believe you unlock one of these collections for getting a trait-set 100%)

You’ll need to gather quite a few different items but if you’re new to Heart of Thorns this collection is a great introduction to the many areas of the game!

GL!

are you sure it wasn’t a this?
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Great_Guild_Firework

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Guild_emblem_120.png

after the Jan 26 patch and all the complaints about dragonhunter/guardian being unplayable I tried to fiddle around a bit and enjoy myself with some traits/skills I liked.

Note: I am in no way experienced in PvP and was just trying to have fun.

The build I was going for was centered around Healing (and LOTS of it), condition removal, blocking and not relying too much on boons. Since I feared the boon ripping, condi applying Necro’s.

I did quite well in a few quick matches and although it isn’t a burst build like the dragonhunter was, it’s nice and fun to play with this if you ask me.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQRApe8dlsAhqhYrQwdIwPEHNE1dYXgAIPf3X+hLgIYEA-TpxGwAEOIA+2fQxJAAwDAwwRAgZZAA

I’d love some advice or anything else but mainly I just wanted to share some fun I had.

Not sure if it’s related but I’m constantly having what seems to be severe lagg. (client-only)
I type messages that appear 10 minutes later, I can’t accept party invites, nor use the LFG-tool.

I have a wired connection and everything else is performing fine.

Mercurias.1826:

Not to mention the fact that it was Glint who MADE the Flameseeker Prophecies. They were based on her glimpses into the future.

Personally, though, I would go for the Hammer. It’s the only ranged weapon Revs have right now, and I find myself using it a lot.

I’m an idiot for forgetting to mention that about Glint the SEER… :P

also for me it’s mostly a Nostalgia thing to use the shield, also I think it’s one of the best, if not the best looking legendary out there right now.

For hammer I’m waiting for new legendaries.
I think The Juggernaut is simply too clunky (yes even for a hammer).
I currently use Entropy on my Revenant.

For swords I like the Fiery Dragon Sword. (Have you ever tried gliding with 2 of these beauties sheated?)

Mace/Axe both Royal Ascalonian simply because I haven’t decided on anything yet.

Staff: Final Rest. Yes, it is the first thing I tried when I saw melee-staff. Yes, I wanted a scythe. Yes, I got a scythe!
GW2 Dervish FTW!

Shield: What do you think? :P

Personally I’ve also been stuck a few times.
I’ve found two ways to counter this:
1. is for when you’re stuck.
2. is to minimize the chances OF getting stuck.

1. When you’re stuck, don’t move before you do this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8F-n2NM_0E
Simply jump yourself a way up the vines inside the wall and hope to get out. this fixes it and if you’ve got 10 minutes left as someone said before you could easily do this and get the achievement.

2. After you’ve killed that Troll with its annoying swarms of death…
…simply stay behind the npc’s. Don’t stand next to the Zephyrite Master for the entire conversation.
I know some of you probably didn’t stand next to the Master but this is just to decrease the odds of getting stuck, not solve the problem.

All I’m saying is when I did #2 I personally never got stuck.

Disclaimer: I know these aren’t reliable methods of solving this problem and A-net should fix this. I’m just trying to help those who find this because they also encountered this problem. I like to have my results not be entirely dependant of RNG.

Mini-guild halls ^ probably not-so-“mini”-decoration-prices?

Sure it’d be nice, but the Guild Hall works because it’s a shared project. I’m not sure how viable it’d be if all this “personal-home” does is grant you another project/gold-sink that seems a bit “indirect” as a means of showing off your wealth. (Because, I believe, showing off wealth is what a lot of players invest their wealth in.)

Your current home is your home-instance, with nodes and npc’s from your personal story all gathered there. I’d rather improve on these home-instances than getting a second home. Perhaps some more customization to these would work…
Just…
keep the Guild Hall decorating in the Guild Hall.

Do you need LWS2 to unlock the purchase of these Sinister Trinkets at the Bandit Crests Vendors such as the one found in Blue Oasis – Silverwastes?

I have the trinkets from completing the story achievements yet earlier today when I traded this Vendor in Blue Oasis I saw she had a selection of ascended trinkets, among which an amulet belonging to the old Master of Whispers with the same stats as the “Caithe-Amulet”.

If these trinkets can be purchased without even owning LWS2 then your argument is slightly invaled. they’d be locked behind a wall made out of Bandit Crests instead of Gems.

I personally go for the Flameseeker Prophecies on my Herald.
Simply because it’s a profession based on channeling the echoes of historical beings.
It just seemed the most fitting to have the old prophecies that (I dare say) have attained a legendary status as addition to a Herald.

What about giving spirit weapons a “2nd strike” mechanic?

Example:

You slash your enemy with a Greatsword, the Sword of Justice slashes soon after that.
As if the attack is echo’d.

Naturally the echo attack should be weaker than the initial attack with your own greatsword (or any other weapon perhaps?) and perhaps the echo can has special effects?

Number 1 is nice, but as you said it’s like the elementalist’s summoned weapons.

Guardians are currently in a situation where every other class seems to be doing everything better.

1. Damage – Don’t get me started. (traps were a nice source of burst damage and this is getting hate already.)
2. Tanking – Other classes simply do it better than the “master of defences”. (Utility Chronotank for example.)
3. Boons – the ones most often used are best distributed by other classes such as a Warrior.
4. CC – other classes can use CC at least as well as a Guardian and most of a Guardian’s CC is ignored because Ring of Warding, Line of Warding are ineffective + they don’t break bars.
5. Condition – Guardians apply burning, they’re great with burning! Yet again, others do it better. Condi-Engi + not to speak of the Burnzerker…

and likely many others as well but my point is:
I don’t want Guardians to copy something off of another class.
We’d likely get a weaker version of summoned weapons and if our Spirit Weapons would end up being stronger (!!) we’ll get the entire non-guardian community lighting torches and grabbing pitchforks because useful Guardians should simply get sent into the mists for some reason or another.

My reason exactly for making it want to be an elite skill with all spirit weapons combined.

I fear we won’t EVER see Spirit Weapons in the Meta.
But should we really focus on updating skills so they can fit in the meta?

“Feel my wrath!” is just so much nicer right now. it’s quick and offensive.

But a Spirit Weapon elite could at least give players something new.
After all there’s more to GW2 than Speed Clears and Raids. ^^

I’ll start off myself with both an idealistic vision and a hopefully more realistic one.

Personal Ideal:
I agree that Spirit Weapons currently aren’t COMPLETELY useless.
or at least 1 isn’t.

The Shield.
Eventhough it isn’t a reliable way to protect yourself from projectiles.

The first time I saw that Spirit Weapons concept art I immediately figured it’d be an elite skill. We’d become a bulwark to be feared.

When I came back to GW2 not too long ago, I saw that our tomes have disappeared. We now have a Signet of Courage and a Shout “Feel my wrath!”
Feel my wrath in particular is a nice buff from what it used to be.
Gameplay in GW2 isn’t about being locked in place spamming a few skills.
But I personally did love this playstyle and think it would suit an elite focussed on spirit weaponry.

Don’t lock us in place though, allow us to move around with Spirit Weapons chained to our Guardians as the Concept Art shows, the mobility would give this new skill a chance and not have it be dead on release.

I do realize that my lack of information given surrounding this “new elite” can make it seem horribly overpowered and for this I apologize.

Now for something I hope to be a bit more realistic:

We’ve seen a lot of improvements with the revenant regarding to “What Spirit Weapons could have been.”
The Revenant’s “Vengeful Hammers” (The spinning hammers) are great!
They feel powerful and because it’s a skill and not a summon the hammers can’t be destroyed either.

The Protective Solace feels like what the Shield could have been.
A mobile anti-projectile bubble on-demand.

So basically, Allow Spirit Weapons to be maintained.
Problem being: Revenants maintain, Guardians sustain.

Perhaps I should play around more with my Revenant.. ^^

This is a Spirit Weapon Guardian:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/8/84/Guardian_06_concept_art_%28Judgment%29.jpg

Or I should say, that’s how many of us wanted it to be.
I’d like to once again open another discussion on a revision for Spirit Weapons.

So please, discuss…

• What are your thoughts and opinions regarding the current Spirit Weapons?
• What would you like to see as a change to Spirit Weapons?
• Is it worth to change Spirit Weapons?
• Much much more…

I’ll join in on the Hammer-love!
The AA isn’t bad, the Symbol is great! (Protection!)
Sadly the symbol doubles as a light field which ruins it all.
If we could change the light field to a (blue) fire field for some more DPS. we’d already fix a lot. Eventhough the 3rd symbol-AA is still terribly slow.

For Mighty Blow, a damage buff, vulnerbility or a longer leap would be great!

Zealot’s Embrace? Please make it faster or add a 2nd skill to it.
I’d love to immobilize enemies and then be able to pull them towards me.

Then Banish a bit faster would be great as well, this is already a good bar-breaker.
(Imagine pulling someone close with an updated Zealot’s Embrace and immediately blowing them away again! (Hammer Guardians know how much fun it is to play around with trash-mobs using Ring of Warding + Banish.))

Ring of Warding is -with the exception of fighting some trash mobs or veterans- horrible.
it’s slow and most foes walk through it anyway.
But this isn’t a problem for hammer alone.

The Guardian is one of the few classes able to “ward” foes off.
Ring of Warding, Line of Warding… they’re amazing skills but useless as long as they don’t work. A Guardian deserves the ability to tell his foes to “Stop” because it’s most definitely Hammer Time!

Immobilization itself should be reworked.
What about immobilizing your target and if your target has stability it slows them down instead + removes stability?
This is terribly powerful but we guardians deserve some power!

How often is immobilization used anyway?
I have to admit, I haven’t done PvP in over 2 years though.

I’m sorry if my current suggestions are more than imbalanced, Greatsword as meta has been annoying me for years and I miss playing hammer without being laughed at.

A hammer has so much more character than a greatsword!
Wielding a hammer as a Guardian feels like stepping forward, calmly telling your party you’ve got this, and watching enemies grow desperate as they know they’ll surely have a hard time getting past this wall of fortified magic and steel forged in the flames of justice!

“Please sit down sir, you’ve made your point clear.”

Alright… ._.

Hey Orkboy,

I’m the leader of the Seraphim Order [Ankh].
Although we’re small and mostly casual we do partake in Dungeons, Fractals and are leading expeditions into the Gilded Hollow to claim our Guild Hall.
We also have members playing PvP although we do not focus on it.
Yet again, feel free to reply be it on the forums or in-game.

Seraphim Order [Ankh]
-Nero.

Greetings to all,

The Order has opened its doors for the kind and social!

What do we offer?

We’re mostly casual, depending on your description of the word.
That is, we’d like to gather players for the following:

• A relaxing environment within the Guild,
• Play as you want/no forced “Meta-builds” playstyle, (further explained below.)
• Dungeons,
• Fractals of the Mists,
• General PvE & Map Completion,
• Personal Story,
• Living World,
• Guild Missions,
• Achievements,
• PvP Teams
  and if possible raids.

Important Notice:
We won’t force you into a certain playstyle.
Be it time spent online, representing the guild or a certain build, among others.
It’s all up to yourself.

• Time spent online:We understand many have their lives to live and families to care for. It’d be insane if we’d get mad because your in-laws showed up or your son/daughter just woke up from their nap.
• Guild representation: We know many guilds require 100% representation, we don’t.
  Back in the day when Guild Influence as currency was a major thing representation was desired. This system is outdated and has been replaced with favor. You can still use the Guild’s chat, play with us, see who’s online etc. while representing another guild.
• Play as you want: If you’ve always wanted to play a supportive guardian, a longbow ranger, a dual pistol thief etc. We’ll gladly give you the chance to.
  We do not hate or dislike the meta, we simply don’t live by it.
• out-of-game interaction: Voice chat, forums, and other sites or registrations to these is not required.
• Heart of Thorns is also not required
  Yet not having the expansion might limit yourself in some of the guild content.
  Although a lot of fun is to be had in the mainland of Tyria, sometimes we like to play in the expansion.

• Our homeworld is Desolation
  Yet homeworld servers only matter these days for World v. World v. World.
  A new system of Mega-Servers has been introduced and because of that we can easily play together at all times.
  All European worlds are shared and all North American worlds are shared in general PvE and PvP.

• Quality over Quantity
  One of our goals is to focus on the quality of our Guild and its members, not the quantity. I’d rather recruit a single player who has just begun the game and doesn’t know anything about Tyria than a group of 10 trolls.

Begone ye trolls! We have a +10% damage bonus versus your kind!

If you’d like a Guild of limited size, yet active enough to do Dungeons and Fractals and other PvE content with. I hope you’ll feel at home with us.

• Opportunities for promotion within the Guild.
  We’re still actively looking for players who’d like to attain the position of an officer within our Guild.
  Being an officer means:
• Helping other members either by giving them advise or by answering questions.
• Supporting organization during Guild Missions.
• No forced recruitment duties.

Why are we recruiting?

Although we’re not inactive we do notice that being a small guild has its limitations.
Sometimes we end up with needing just 1 more for a Guild Fractal, Dungeon etc.
I personally do not dislike this because it allows for pugging and meeting new people but Pug’s don’t always agree with our mindset. In Fractals they may demand meta-gameplay, in Dungeons they may demand speed-clears and the use of gimmicks and minor exploits.

As such we’d rather have you join us so we can all feel at ease.

Although mostly providing PvE content and a bit of PvP, I’d be glad to expand more into WvWvW if found in want. (The Guild Hall does provide for the latter two kinds of players.)

-Nero, Jaws, Mind
and the entirety of our community.

Guild: Seraphim order [Ankh]
World: Desolation, other worlds are more than welcome
Guild Hall: Gilded Hollow
Guild Level: 37

Greetings everyone,

The Order is opening its doors again.
The first generation of the guild has largely left Tyria and our ranks are empty.

Anyone is welcome to join and liven it up again.

I’d refer to our guild as being both mature and casual.
With that I’d like to ask for any possible future members to try and avoid excessive swearing and trash talk.
I’d kindly request of you to treat others as you would treat a kind family member.
Other than that,
I hope to restore our Guild back to life and retain a small, social and overall kind community.

Naturally you may PM me at all times and ask questions.
I haven’t played in a while but will try my best to answer.

-Nero.

Our homeworld is Desolation, yet anyone is welcome to join in.

‘’Bring up our Guild’’

hey Aerok, I messaged you in game about joining our guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA

I hope you’ll find a guild soon!

Hey Bjornen, we’d love to have you in our guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
but it’s stationed on the desolation server (we do have and we do accept people from all servers though!) please consider us, and if you decline our offer I wish you the best of luck at finding a new place to call your home!

hey Yat, I’d like to tell you some more about my guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
please contact me if you’ve got any questions!

My guild would gladly help you Fragile,
though I warn you, we’re based on Desolation a EU server (yet have members spread amongst both EU and NA servers, this means playing together with people won’t be a problem)
this is our recruitment post:

I hope you’ll find a guild soon!

Hey Shard.
If you’re looking for a PvE guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
we’re here to welcome you.
But if by ’’Dragon’’ you mean Tequatl the Sunless, I think it’d be best for you to join a tequatl based guild. (check the guild recruitment page for these )

hey Samuel, I think our guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
would be an amazing place for you!

hey Miyamoto,
I’m the leader of the Seraphim Order [Ankh], a multi-server guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA

we’re casual yet active and you’re welcome if you want!
good luck at finding a guild!

hey Josh, my guild is willing to offer you all you’re looking for but isn’t based on SoS, we’re spread amongst multiple servers though (both EU and NA)

hey Keln, though not from the Far Shiverpeaks I’d love to tell you about my multi-server guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
please consider us, and good luck at finding a guild to call your own!

Hey Bob, I’d like to introduce you to our guild:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
feel free to ask any questions you might have!

hey Jmad.
I’m Nero of the Seraphim Order [Ankh]
And I’d like to link you our guild recruitment post:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
Now there are a few problems which might cause you to refuse to join.
1. We’re actively inviting players from North American servers, but the [NA] playerbase is not yet what we want it to be.
2. We’re based in the Desolation server, which is a European server.

What I can tell you though, is that we’ve got everything you’re looking for, and that we’re doing all we can to get a wider [NA] playerbase for you and others to enjoy.

hey Maliwan, though not from Maguuma, I run a casual guild myself:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA/first#post2879497
that’s our recruitment post, if you’ve got any questions please contact me.

Hmm, I’d written a reply but the forum seems to keep crashing and I don’t know if the reply got through. to be sure I decided to reply again (though not as eleborate) and give you the link to our recruitment post again:

Hey Idorian.
I’m the leader of the Seraphim Order [Ankh]:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Seraphim-Order-Ankh-EU-NA
and though we don’t focus on a pure mature community, I’d still very much like so to invite you to our guild. We’re a casual group of players though still have an average of 10 to 15 players online throughout the day, and growing. Though growing, I’m trying to maintain our current friendly mood, feeling more as a group of friends than a group of thrown-together players. We are, of course, a helpful bunch and any questions are always welcome. most of our players right now are EU-based and would gladly guest into your server to help you out (though they may request you to guest into theirs from time to time)
I hope you’ll consider my invitation and if lacking, please ask me anything you’d wish to know.
Thank you in advance and I wish you the best of luck at finding a guild of your own.

hey Danneh.
I’m Nero, leader of the Seraphim Order [Ankh] and we’d be glad to have you!
We started out as a mainly [EU] guild on the Desolation server, but have been busy expanding our [NA] side. I’m assured you’d find what you need in our guild, though I of course understand if you prefer a pure [NA] guild. please consider us and I wish you the best of luck @ finding a guild of your own.
