Looking for a Guild that is willing to communicates outside the game

[ChiefVisigoth]

Good Morning,

I am on the west coast and play in the morning mostly but can play anytime of the day. I mentioned that because of the variety of time zones people play in. So being able to communicate outside the game is important to coordinate game play. I am retired so I do have time on my hands. My biggest issue with most guilds I have joined in the past is a complete lack of communications once I have joined. Therefore, I have soloed most of my time playing. I also have messed around trying out different builds on heroics over the years I have played. I prefer trappers or ranged combat. I am currently running a first life artificer almost at end game here on Sarlona.

I tend to be a bit of a flower sniffer on new content to get a feel for the quests. That is another reason I have done a lot of soloing because I like learn the content and like to do all the optionals in a quest. I have not gotten on the reincarnation train yet but will be shortly.

I prefer to use voice chat in quests to communicate. I am not big on using tells to communicate in quests because it is difficult for me to concentrate on the quest mechanics and use that method of communications mainly because I find it distracting. Sorry but I am getting older and sometimes have a short attention span. I also did not grow up playing video games. So my experience with the game has not left me with an appreciation of PUG groups. My experience in PUG's is people tend to not want to use voice chat to communicate so not much coordination of efforts. The other thing is someone just wants to zerg through the content. Needless to say a turn off.


I have been in guilds on most of the servers and find most will not communicate outside the game. They get you to join, run a couple of quests maybe once or twice then radio silence. Seems they just want numbers and not much more. Try sending them a tell or in game mail and no feedback. Again I find that frustrating. If they do have a website they still will not communicate and it seems the only thing they schedule is doing reaper and raids. I have not even thought about doing reapers since the few times I tried that solo I died. A mode of play best done in with a group that can communicate and plan. Yes I tend to like to plan things out before starting. Guiltily of strategic planning to much.

I have not started doing reaper mode yet but would be willing to start with a good guild that knows what they are doing. I have done some raids by participating in the teaching raids Voodu does on Saturdays. I have had fun doing them. The communication is great and I have done a few quests with one of his guildies who also communicates using voice chat and puts up with my being slow with new content which I really appreciate. I tend to get myself turned around sometimes in a quest especially if it is heavy with reds and greens in the color scheme. I am colorblind so things tend to blend into the background. But I have figured out a few things to help with that.

I am retired so I can play most any time. I normally play only 3 to 5 hours at a time and do not always play everyday. That is my main reason for wanting to be able to communicate outside the game. The other thing is a play in the morning here more often than not, another reason to have good outside the game communications.

So if you are in a guild that likes to coordinate things off line and communicate I would like to join. I use the handle ChiefVisigoth on twitch and twitter. My current toon on Sarlona is Chieftinker.

I retired from the US Navy as a Chief in the mid 90's so I decided in the last couple of years to use Chief as the first part of my toons name and Visigoth as the second part. Visigoth because I like history and they sacked Rome. Nothing like pillaging and plundering after you defeat your enemies.

I am open to running quests if you just want to do that to get to know me. A good fit for the guild is important. So please send Chieftinker a tell in the game if you want me to join a group or a PM here in the forums. I will try to pay more attention to tells in the game.

I look forward to hearing from the community. Have a great day and have fun out their in the game.
