re: GW2 Guru - Guru Featured Guild Application

0
I finally got an e-mail back from GW2 Guru regarding the Guru Featured Guild Application. If you would like to have some input on this please copy the information below (starting at Part A) into a reply to this post answering any/all the questions you wish. It'll get compiled and a submission sent in.

_________________________________________________________________

Hints for getting chosen.
1. Make your replies interesting and stuff you feel the community would like to know about your guild
2. While we don’t want pages in reply, you are more likely to get picked if you avoid one word, or one sentence answers.
3. Make sure your response is in, on the final Monday of the month. If it’s late it may not get judged.

This is designed as a bit of fun and as a way for people to see the variety of communities and Guilds within the game. It is no way associated with Arenanet or anything related they may do with GW2 in the present or the future.

Boring stuff out of the way. Here is the questionnaire Happy

Guru Featured Guild Questionnaire.

Please answer five of the following questions from Part A
Optional: Send in your Guild's logo or an image you would like to represent you (150X150 maximum please)

2. Do you have a Guild philosophy? What does the Guild aim to achieve?
3. Why does your Guild work? What does your Guild do better than other Guilds?
4. Does you Guild organize in-game activities other than simple participation in game play? Give examples and explain. If you have Guild meetings, discuss the purpose of the meetings. If you have regular role-playing events, go into detail. What was the inspiration for or story behind these events?
5. How do you see the Guild evolving over time?

Part B

Answer any three questions from the below.
PvE Discussion:
1. How does the Guild approach PvE in Guild Wars 2? Do you place a higher priority on any aspect of PvE such as dungeon or Dynamic Event completions, exploration or looking for new equipment?
2. Can you share any tips or a build for beating a particular Dungeon or Boss?

Part A
1. What is your Guild's History – how old? Why was the Guild formed? Which games have you played as a Guild?

War is Hell formed on the first day of the 3-day headstart by Dethroat and some real life friends. After a few weeks, all of his real life friends moved on to other games, but Dethroat stuck around and made the Guild what it is today, and is striving to make it better as time goes on! War is Hell was formed on GW2 but has a branch in Planetside 2, and soon The Elder Scrolls Online

2. Do you have a Guild philosophy? What does the Guild aim to achieve?

War is Hell tries it's hardest to make fun the most important factor. We love having the family atmosphere in the Guild, and being a family just leads to more fun experiences.

3. Why does your Guild work? What does your Guild do better than other Guilds?

War is Hell works simply because the members have a say in everything the Guild does. As far as Leadership goes, we have one Leader (Dethroat), but he gets tons of help from his Officers Council. They work tooth and nail along side him to make War is Hell one of the best Guilds on Yak's Bend. It's already a very big and noticeable Guild on that server.

4. Does you Guild organize in-game activities other than simple participation in game play? Give examples and explain. If you have Guild meetings, discuss the purpose of the meetings. If you have regular role-playing events, go into detail. What was the inspiration for or story behind these events?

War is Hell does daily Guild Events such as Orr Nights, Dungeon Runs, Map Completion, and World vs. World for the majority of the time. We have a Leadership Meeting every Sunday, and a Guild Meeting every month. It's important for us to hear what our Guild Membership has to say, and what they can bring to the table. We try to fit everyone's play style in.

5. How do you see the Guild evolving over time?

We see War is Hell becoming more unstoppable and even more noticed in the future. We see us with a strong large sized roster where everyone is proud to be in the Guild and is willing to participate in whatever the Guild has to throw at them!

Part B

Answer any three questions from the below.
PvE Discussion:
1. How does the Guild approach PvE in Guild Wars 2? Do you place a higher priority on any aspect of PvE such as dungeon or Dynamic Event completions, exploration or looking for new equipment?

War is Hell is a 50/50 split. Most of us spend a lot of time in WvW, while a lot of us spend time farming Dungeons, leveling, etc. Your more than capable of fitting right in, because we offer things for both style of players to do!

2. Can you share any tips or a build for beating a particular Dungeon or Boss?

War is Hell has some of the best players in the game. We can easily tell you a step by step how-to on any Dungeon, Event, Build, etc.



1. What unique approach to PvP does your Guild have?

War is Hell is a heavy WvW Guild. We have a huge presence on Yak's Bend, fielding around 40-60 people on reset night, and around 25-30 during the weekdays. We run very organized Squad Tactics, and they work excellently! 10 War is Hell Members can take down a 50-man Zerg like it's nothing. Don't believe it? We have videos to prove it!

2. Can you share any builds or tactics in SPvP or WvW?

Since War is Hell is heavily WvW based, WvW Builds/Tactics are second nature to us. If you want to know something, you'll find at least 30 people with the correct answer!

3. What are some heroic moments in Guild Wars 2 WvW/SPvP can your Guild share?

When we were able to take Bay, Hills, and Garrison simultaneously. All War is Hell members.

Part C
Choose between 3 and 5 Notable members of your guild and ask them to answer three of the below
1. Give us examples of why you think Guild Wars 2 is the greatest game you've played

Guild Wars 2 has tons of perks, it's free to play, and with constant updates, it keeps you wanting to come back. One of the major reasons I'm still around is War is Hell. I feel like I've known some of these guys/girls forever, and I would hate to leave the game because I've grown so attached to some of them!


2. Name one interesting fact about yourself in real life or your character in game.

I am a 3D Modeling/Animation student who will hopefully be accepted into the ArenaNet Internship Class of 2014.

4. If you could choose one Guild Wars 2 Character to represent you, who would it be and why?

My Necromancer. I've had him since the headstart, he was my first 80, and I can play him with my eyes closed. I've mastered the art of the Necromancer!
