The Silver Circle is recruiting. Come join the antics! :P

[huntunderhill]

>>> The Silver Circle <<<
> Come join our friendly Cannith guild! <

______________________

Why join?


> The Silver Circle
is an excellent place for beginners and casual veterans. Especially for those who want to run Elite BB Heroic quests. Quests where full-optionals are done, and where Zerging is unwelcome.

> I have received a lot of positive feedback from players who are new to DDO, or Cannith Server, and require help to get started. Many large guilds do not assist low level characters, and newer players tend to be ignored. Within The Silver Circle
I guarantee you will not be ignored. There is no obligation to stay if you are not happy, we are a very easy going group. Hell most of the time we are just downright silly :D

_________________________

More Information:


If you would like to join, or just receive more information, you may send me a Tell ingame. Or send mail using the ingame Lightning-mailbox. Simply enter the name Hallowood.


_________________________

Some of the basics:

Voice Chat

> We use Raid Call for in-game voice chat. Members are encouraged to use Discord whether they are questing in a party, or just soloing quests on their own. The voice-chat allows the Officer to better know the members in the guild. It’s much easier to provide advice on character builds, as well as quest information while using voice-chat. Raid Call is not mandatory, however anti-social members will never be made into Officers no matter how powerful they may become.


Banned from the Guild:
> There are 3 ways to get kicked from the Guild:

1) Be in-active for more than two months, if you're under level 10.
2) Be in-active for more than five months, if you're under level 20.
3) Be a trolling ******-bags. Other than that I'm pretty easy going. :D

Note: TR's and Epic toons may be inactive longer. Also keep on eye on Alt's (secondary characters) They can also be removed if not used.

History of The Silver Circle

The Silver Circle is an order of The Silver Flame formed to hunt down and destroy Evil Outsiders within Ebberon. The Silver Circle originally employed lawful warriors mainly; Paladins, Fighters, Monks and a large division of Clerics. But as evil-forces from Kyber overwhelmed the continent of Khorvaire, The Silver Circle opened its ranks to outsiders in order to fend off the growing evil. The Silver Circle now employs a wide variety of knights and mercenaries to battle the evil within Ebberon. The new ranks include all manner of warrior including deceitful Rogues, savage Barbarians, and even necromantic Wizards.

> A Stalwart Defender named Zaille was the first leader of The Silver Circle, responsible for the gathering of the initial members and naming of the guild. Zaille devoted himself to fighting the evil within Stormreach. His leadership gathered the initial Officers together, and through his training those Officer trained new Officers, growing The Silver Circle into the elite warband it is today.

> The original leader, Zaille fell in battle a few years ago while campaigning in the Devil’s Battleground within Amarath. His body was never recovered.

Our guild has just gained the last +2 Stat bonus. The Silver Circle now has all the guild ship buffs which includes: the +30 Resistance buffs, the +2 Stat buffs, and the Humanoid House buffs. Only the Alter of Devastation and higher XP buff remains.

The guild is holding strong at 100 active accounts. And we just recently had 3 flawless elite BB guild raids where we destroyed the end bosses!

[huntunderhill]

To celebrate back to school we have a bran new ship. Which ship is it? Only the most massive ship that money can buy! We finally got it, the Daedalean Kraken!

I have no idea how long it will be b4 I can play again.
I'm dead broke and out of work.
I made my report to the police,
and now have to go home to sharpen my weapons.
With the way this makes me feel... I'll even sharpen my club.

That's awful news Grand :(

All of us will be waiting for the day you come back :) If your able to, try and keep in touch using the Guild Forum and Raid-Call.

Make sure to keep chatting, and don't stop taking those snap-shots :D

Take care of yourself Grand.

hi folks -
for those looking for a welcoming, no drama guild
with officers who somehow respond to my questions while they are on difficult raids
with patience, knowledge, game expertise and just the right amount of humor and silliness...
with a ship that has a ton of well maintained buffs
and guildies who are open and helpful to questing with you - even if you don't know everything about the quest

this is the place. these guys are good.

just sayin'

stardaile / flartybill and a host of others...

A rainbow after a storm is great by contrast, but the storm still occurred.

That being said, I have rainbow news! My PC has been returned.

After investing thoughtforms and prayer, accepting fate, and posting meticulous 'reward for stolen pc' signs,
a minister named Bond... Josh Bond [No Kidding!]... got it back to me!
This was at a local soup kitchen where I eat, the minister works and the thief lives.

The 2 guys who tried to 'hack & cash' in on it couldn't get past my hard drive password.
They stripped it of my beloved bumper stickers, a lemur pic, and another saying
"Sometimes bad schist happens to gneiss people" [mineral puns].

Failing to convince anyone to buy it, they went for the reward. Mr Bond, the minister
knew something was fishy and gave the thief's friend a holy guilt trip!
So it's working and cleaned up again.
I have a foot back into the 21rst century once again.

One down, more to go. UI benefits past due next. Replacement of a faulty bike part, and ridding myself of a sinus infection.
I did finally get food stamps again though!

Now back to my Shakespearean karma.

Crazy story. Good to hear you got it back :)

Interesting. Reminds me how the TRs just kinda hover around sometimes. You know, to let others figure out the quest. They kinda just hover and don't say a word to correct you, or even bother to lend a hand. It can be very entertaining to just cover around :)

Hell, I've stood completely still in a Raid-party (Tempest Spine) before and very very slowly watched the Raid-party all die, as I stood there and did absolutely nothing. And once they were all dead and Raging, I calmly walked around grabbing the Soul-stones of the few people left that hadn't Rage-quit, and brought them to the Shrine. Now that 7, of the 12 we started with had now given up and gone home, we were only 4. So what did I do??? I took the 4 people remaining and completed that Raid, which isn't difficult to do in Tempest Spine. After all, it's much easier to manage a party of 5 than 12. In fact, if even just 3-4 people don't listen, the entire party is in danger of wiping.

Problem:

I find it interesting how people behave liking Lemmings in a Raid:

"Omg! That Trap just killed that guy because he didn't wait for the Trapper and failed to jump over the trap." So what does half the party do??? Half the party also tries to make the jump, getting 50% of the Raid-party killed. <-- This is really funny to sit back and watch. I wish I had a video camera. Muah ha ha :D

And this is why most of the Raids I'm in are private ;)

Eventually we TRs become tired of collecting Soul-stones. To the point that could you imagine me, one guy. Carrying the bodies of 11 corpse on my shoulder, while trying to solo through hordes of Elite mobs, struggling to make it to the next rest spot. One single guy carrying 11 rotting armoured corpse while trying to fend off a dozen bloody thirsty Drow. I cannot count how many times I've done this.

Solution:

I feel communication is the key. Having a leader that explains what the Raid is step by step. But also, and I can't stress this enough, if somebody is lost or lagging behind or doesn't understand the quest objectives. It is that players duty to say something... to yell "Hey wait up!" After all if I have a party of 7 running left towards an Elite trap, while 2 players on the right are lagging behind. It's obvious which direction I will be headed, since I value 7 over 2.

Sheesh Grand! You could definitely use some luck! I wish I could mail you a Diamond of Luck +5 in real life.
Guess you'd need an item with an empty colourless augment slot then... Maybe your computer, once it's been to the ressurection-shrine? ;)

I can add something:
What I highly recommend is for each person in a new group to state what they are specialized in doing, so in quest,
others know to wait for that person to do his thing.
Maybe use "!" in text for saying "stop! this is important!" or "head's up!". Try calling dibs on enemies you have a special way of dealing with, and get the others to agree on waiting for it, supportively.
And for those who do runs often together, do some casual wilderness runs and take turns showing your fighting style to others.
Knowing what each others styles are is key to military style coordination and heightened success.

I got rid of some old posts. But I'm going to keep some of the older one's that show the guild's progress.

Heya guys!

A discussion in-game with Hallo resulted in an idea to create a mail chain for the officers of our guild.
This way we would be able to coordinate our efforts better, to my humble opinion.
And just to keep in contact.

I have set up a new mail account for this and suggest all other officers to do the same:

(Officer first name).SilverCircle@hotmail.com

Hope this works.

See you all in-game!

Very nice, Grand!
Hidden talents can't stay tucked away forever...
Keep it up!
Thought: Maybe a series about the Silver Circle?

[Pieter-Bas]

Seeing them, you would not expect them capable of being sneaky.
Their grotesque appearance can be deceiving though, for some of them can be quite cunning and stealthy.

The Silver Circle is a relaxed bunch of adventurers that welcomes any newcomers into their midst. We try to help any such new recruits as much as we can and try to provide them with whatever gear we find, so that all Silver Circlers are able to venture out into dangerous realms and hope to do some good. We try to be hospitable and provide a sense of community that way. All in all this strategy has worked very well and has resulted in a tight knit group of characters, the biggest ship available, chockfull of amenities and many chests full of goodies for all members.

Now one of these cunning monstrosities has weaselled itself into our midst. It has disguised itself somehow into the form of an adventurer and in so doing has deceived one of our officers into recruiting it into our guild. Its nefarious character has soon betrayed its presence, however for it could not contain its greedy nature in seeing all our gathered loot and has cleaned out our guild chests three times already.

Now that the officers in our guild have been alerted to the presence of this thieving creature its days are numbered. It will be rooted out. It will be caught and brought to justice. A justice Silver Circle Style. It will rue the day it set horrific foot on our decks. It will feel pain it did not know was possible it could endure. For what will feel like an eternity it will be subjected to this agony. Then it will be snuffed out and its grotesque corpse will be petrified and placed on deck for all to see. It will remind all members old and new of the one rule we have in our guild: Thou Shalt Not Be A Guildtroll!

Stiekum.

Green Steel is hands-down my favorite gear. It's Epic quality that starts at level 11 for Items, and 12 for Weapons.

Even level 20+ can benefit from Green Steel, especially those who use: Co-Op or Wis-Op items for casters, Immunity to all items, and my personally favorite --> Smoke/Displacing items <-- that allows me to laugh in the face of those other Melee's in the Tavern Brawl.

How do you get started? Have the Vale of Twilight (Adventure Pack). Then go to this link:

Declaration – because I’m funny in that way.

No.(1)

(--)

So, I really enjoyed my Dwarf Based – 12 Barb, 8 Bard. It’s simple, 8 Bard gets you Displacement + Haste + Rage. Also HP boost, DPS boost, DR boost, and some laughing thingy. Then there’s the 12 Frenzy Barb, that gives Frenzy and other stuff. I’d have to say 10,000 cCrits every 15 seconds isn’t bad. The Woods Frenzy Warchanter

(--)

No.(2)
So, I really enjoyed my Bladeforged Based – 12 Fighter, 8 Pally. As I’ve said before 100+ DRs, and once Power of the Forge, Power Surge, Divine Might, Power Attack and other are going… I’d say an average hit of 760-850 is pretty good. The Woods Divine Kensei Bladeforged.

I am at work right now but I would like to join once I get home.
I am a new player to the game but not to gaming.
I also pay to play so I can start with all options available.
Being alone in a huge game is lonely and the amount of information to acquire is overwhelming at best.
Looking to meet some regular gamers in the CST timezone or close that has the same play schedule opportunities.
I have been trying to play a Warlock Fire Blaster and so far it's not bad at lvl 4. Haha
Ok thanks for reading.

This looks like the kinda guild I'm looking for. On my first life but bought the epic destinies already. I am running my first life slowly mainly following first life thf in paladin section to get as much favor as possible. Planning on buying some of the races and classes as well. I'm hoping to go ahead and get 32 point builds unlocked on first life to make subsequent lives easier.

As for me, I started d&d with 3.5 and missed playing. I will message guild officer Tuesday when I'm off.

Hello.

Returning player here seeking to enjoy some D&D through his spellcasters (usually divine), that are always ready to help others and battle evil forces. :)

Is the guild still recruiting, if so, I'm definitely interested in joining?

My current main character's name is Calledon, if you want to send me an invite. Or, I can send a short introduction to someone via the in-game mail system if needed.

Thank you!
