GW2 Recruitement Questionnaire

Q: What brought you to our website?

A: A friend of mine is in this guild.


Q: This recruitment process requires that we get to know you a little bit. Please tell us a little about yourself.

A: I have been looking forward to a new MMO since SWTOR lost its fan base. During the day, I work at Microsoft in the Xbox LIVE division, and at night, you can catch me working on my car (installing a Procharger ATM) or spending time with my fiancé.


Q: All members are expected to uphold respectful conduct when communicating with other players and guildmates. This applies to in-game situations, our website and on guild/GW2 related websites and message boards. Intolerance for others based upon religion / sexuality / gender / ethnicity / etc. is not welcome. We are a guild of HONOR and INTEGRITY, and we reflect that in all public forums. The general rule of thumb is to treat people how you would like to be treated in return. How do you feel about this?

A: I expect it.


Q: In-Game Guild Status - Guild Wars 2 will allow characters to switch between multiple guilds as they wish while playing the game. The OSD Division Leadership Council within the Guild Wars 2 game expect that you will focus your time and energy towards this guild alone and will keep your characters as members of the OSD. Therefore it is an expectation that you will be 'representing' the Order of the Silver Dragons at all times while playing in-game as a member of this community. With that said, there might be a feasible reason why an ‘alt’ character or an RP character should be in another guild. Special cases and requests will be handled on an individual basis. What are your thoughts on this?

A: Also expected this as well.


Q: Ventrilo is a communications tool that allows our membership to experience the full effect of being in a community-based gaming guild. If you feel alone in game and you don't feel that much is going on, or felt the scheduled event experience was lacking or not working as intended... it might just be because you aren't using the communications tools available to you.

VENTRILO use will be 'Strongly Encouraged' for all players to actively use while performing normal game activities whenever you are playing in GW2. Even though it is not a requirement, it should be strongly considered for usage as a communications tool that allows our membership to experience the full effect of being in a community-based gaming guild.
VENTRILO use can, and no doubt will be 'Mandatory' during organized guild events, such as Dynamic Content runs and meta-events/dungeons, WvW, sPvP, group or team meetings, as well as other types of scheduled events if the event coordinator advises of such.
​

You don't have to speak if you don't want to, so long as you are on to listen to other members that might need help or guidance. With that said, we have several dedicated Vent rooms that allow you to sit quietly in peace if you so wish. All public discussion areas such as public vent channels are PG-13. Are you okay with our Ventrilo policies?

A: Yes


Q: If you are accepted as a member of our guild, you will automatically be placed at our 'New Member' position within the game. Please be mindful that this is not a single-player RPG game, but a multi-wing online gaming community. You will be expected to communicate, interact and support your fellow guildies, as well as ensure that you follow our Charter of Excellence at all times. In order to show your allegiance or loyalty to our community, we will ask that you perform certain 'Community Quests' that give you the opportunity to communicate, interact and generally become a member of our community (don't worry, they are enjoyable tasks that allows you to get involved with our player-base). Once these 'Guild Quests' are resolved, you will be raised one rank level in-game which allows you to access all the benefits of our guild. Are you okay with this?

A: I should be. It would need to work around my real life schedule. As long as it does, should be OK.


Q: We have found that guild members have a better gaming experience if they use the forums and the events calender. This allows you to get game information and join guildies in events as your real life time permits. Do you intend on being active on our website forums and events calendar?

A: Depends on the definition of active. I can either be active in game, or active in the forums, but I am not sure I have time to be "active" on both. However, I can check the forums and event calendar a few times a week.


Q: Once you learn how, we would like you to create events or RSVP for other scheduled events as your real life schedule permits. What are your thoughts on this?

A: I would expect this and look forward to it.


Q: Have you been playing MMO's for a while, or are you just getting started?

A: 2 x lvl 85 in Wow, 2 x lvl 50 in Rift, 2 x lvl 50 in SWTOR. I was a GM in all the games for different guilds. It was a lot of fun when I had more time to commit.


Q: We expect all members to submit and update their characters in our Guild Wars 2 sub-forum 'Character Roster' (character name, class, level, possibly build, etc.). Are you okay with this? After reading the above content, why do you think it might be important?

A: I suspect to organize a well balance event for PVP and PVE scenarios. I'm fine with it.


Q: What kind of character do you typically play? Tell us about your main character you envision, and please list any alts that you know you will be bringing into the guild as well.

A: I moved away from caster classes to melee classes and never looked back. I'll be looking forward to playing a hammer + sword and shield Warrior.


Q: What type of playstyle do you enjoy the most?

A: Up close and personal.


Q: If you violate any rules defined within the gaming EULA, you will face disciplinary action up to and including removal from this community. Do you understand, and agree with this rule?

A: That's if the game is still active right? :-b Yes


Q: What time of day do you typically play? How often?

A: After work and it depends. Usually a few times a week or more. If family or personal events are around, it can be 0 times a week.


Q: Are you affiliated with any other guilds?

A: I'm affiliated with a lot of other members who are going to be signing up to this guild, but I am not affiliated to any other guild.


Q: How do you think you can best help this community? How can this community best help you?

A: I have experience playing GW2 during the beta, and GM experience from previous games. I also work as a program manager, so if I was utilized, I could help formulate structure or attack plans.

Q: OSD is generally a "casual, do it all" guild, meaning we welcome players from all playstyles and don't limit our focus to one playstyle in particular. We welcome PvPers, PvEers, Roleplayers, Crafters, etc. For example, while we may offer weekly raids, we are not a hardcore raiding guild that requires you to raid 5 or 6 nights a week. We also do not consider any one playstyle to be more important than another, all members of OSD are equal. For example, a hardcore PvPer will never be considered "more valuable" to the guild than a casual Roleplayer would be. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic?

A: I prefer this. We need people who are dedicated in an area to help those who are dedicated in another area. That means I do not have to be an expert in crafting if I am an expert in PVP. I can simply ask for help and vise versa.


Q: With the previous question in mind...We will never force you to participate in any activity or event that falls outside your playstyle of choice. However, from time to time you may be asked to help the guild out if we are short a particular class, or just need to fill up an empty group spot. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic?

A: I expect this.


Q: We do ask that you stay active on the guild website as much as possible. We don't expect anybody to become a forum junkie by any means. But we do expect our members to cast their votes on any polls we put up, give input in any posts we make asking for opinions, as well as chime in with your thoughts when other members open discussions. What are your thoughts on this?

A: I can poke my head into the forums at least once a week or more.


Q: What previous experience, if any, do you have with the original Guild Wars?

A: Absolutely none, and from what I see, that might be a benefit since they are different.

 

Right on what is the car your working on?

 

Sup Dennis - G8 GT... I'll have one of the first in the world to be a flex fuel conversion with over 500rwhp.

 

Welcome!

 

very nice man good to see you here and look forward to meeting more of your group ... i know a couple already

 

your car is bad@ss, you sir are welcome here

 

Welcome

 

lmao! who don't you know?! You and Celticwoman are the only people I know in the guild that I didn't meet after I joined lmao!

 

Lol, thanks! Hopefully it is at the tuners by Friday so I can play this game this weekend! Riding my motorcycle is fun, but I miss my car already.

Thank you!

You met me and a few others on facebook! :-b

Thanks and I hope they join up soon. I sent the e-mail off to my MS friends, we'll see if they join up.

 

yeah, but I've already joined the guild, so technically I met you after I joined mauahahahahah!

 

Thats cool ... and tabby you also know Relaxis (craig) lol

 

Poor craig lmao! I haven't heard from him in so long lol

 

Well Damn overachiever lol can't wait for u to show me how to grind to max lvl lol.

 

Lol - PVP actually levels you up fast if you run in a big group.

 

Yes it does lol and with out the story part is spread out with level gaps i will be back and forth between both

 

The only downside is finding gear. It is a lot more rare to find gear inside WvW than PVE.

 

actually i found gear on corpses of people that i killed players and also a tokin type thing that can be traded in for gear in your wvw starter area

 

I didn't find that lol

 

Badges of Honor is what they are called and you can buy gear with them of the Exquisite (Dark gold) quality it takes alot but the gear is very nice and apparently well worth it .. i havnt had any but ive looked it over in stonemist castle

 

gear based on color

Junk Gray
Basic White
Fine Blue
Masterwork Green
Rare Yellow
Exotic Gold
Legendary Red
Mystic Purple
