What role do you wish to play in the guild? For example: PvP, PvE, Casual/Social
I'd love to do a bit of everything, based on whoever is online at the time; I'm usually (and I assume will still be) a fairly outgoing and outspoken person, which as far as I've noticed is pretty conducive to building a helpful and tightly-knit community. So far, I've been enjoying the PvE aspect of the game, albeit I haven't run as many dungeons as some others out there; the idea of grinding tokens endlessly...ugh!
There's so much exploration and well-written story (some people would debate that) I find myself getting lost in the amount of things there are for me to do; I'm constantly stopping in my tracks to look at the in-game world (I do that outside of the game too!) and realize just how amazingly tailored it is. I'm seriously in awe at the level of detail put into this game. Sun reflections on armor, the voice acting, smoke lingering in the air after pistol shots, combos triggering off one another in a thousand different fields, what the hell ?
Arena Net has won my heart.
/sidetracked
As for PvP, I've run Arena to semidecent ratings (2.4kish in 3v3) and played battlegrounds extensively, but I wouldn't say that's competitive enough to be worth noting; I really wish I'd persevered enough to get to 2.7kish. I'd like to get in the GW2's PvP system eventually, but I'd need to get to know people first, so it's not a priority at the moment.
Which previous MMO's or online games have you played and how long for?
Ugh. I've played so many of them I don't really recall, but very few I've played for long enough to remember clearly. I played GW1 for a year or so, WoW on and off since release (for PvP mostly), as well LotRO and DDO for less than 4 months each.
Were you a part of a guild? What was your experience?
I've been apart of many guild "names", but it was just the same core of players moving around servers on WoW to PvP with a new pool of people to PvP with. I'm not too big on the guild hopping, so I'm really focused on making sure the guild as a whole feels like a great place to be.
My personal endeavors within guilds are mostly related to teaching and explaining things in a somewhat humorous way. It's much easier to have fun when people are actually trying to have a good time, and so I engage in uh...funny stuff. (wtf?)
I've taught countless people how to PvP, spending hours trying to get them to keybind, move and gear properly at first, and then going more in-depth with strategies and dynamics; some of the people I explained things to were in my guild, but most were not, since we were fairly selective about who could join. I'm a teacher at heart, albeit not by profession, and I really enjoy seeing people LEARN stuff while having a blast.
How did you hear about the Guild?
I stumbled upon you in a comment on another podcast, and decided to look into it; I've looked at your two most recent videos, and I realized I'd have a really good time if the guild was actually comprised of people with similar attitudes. Considering your application standards, I think that would be the case, hence I'm applying!
What will you bring to the ALTTABME community? (Chatty? Skilled? Funny? Helping?)
All of the above v_v ?
Honestly though, a helping, laid-back, sometimes absurd but funny guild member with enough skill and game knowledge in general to teach and give advice when it's asked for or when someone's playstyle obviously revolves around mechanics that don't exist (gearing up for Precision and Condition Damage thinking conditions can land critical strikes, for instance).
Will Arcanix be the only guild you join?
It will, yes; I've already joined and left a guild to get my Guild Caretaker Backpack from the armourer, but they knew I joined for that.
Is there anything else you would like to throw in here at the end?
My Engineer is already decked up in a full set of crafted gear, ready to Double Pistol her way to greatness with other players. Or Grenade her way there. Or Elixir Gun. I just love coming up with a new build and tweaking my gear until it fits my expectations; I'm just done completing my first set of gear, some pieces of which I can re-use, and I think my next step is imminent: ELIXIR GUN BUILD SET.
Guilty pleasure: in-game armor/weapon models' aesthetics, and consequently the hoarding the Transmutation stones.
