Guild of the Week #3
2 pages • Page 1
Quote:
| Members often participate in another type of competition of their own creation: racing solo through mission maps to see who can complete them the fastest. |
Quote:
| When attempting missions, Isle usually does some pre-planning using TeamSpeak, although they are not picky about putting together the "perfect team". |
Quote:
| Random teams can succeed, but a balanced team offers a much higher success rate. |
Quote:
| During battle, Isle members use TeamSpeak to better coordinate their attacks. One player is designated as a "target caller" and designates the target that the entire team should attack, while other players are encouraged to remain silent to avoid unnecessary distractions or confusion. During guild-vs-guild combat, Isle places a high priority on maintaining control of any important map features, such as the flag stand. They also keep an eye on the match timer and attempt to kill the enemy Guild Lord if they find themselves with a numerical advantage and time available before the next resurrection. |
Wow. What an incredibly generic report, and what an incredibly mediocre guild. Their PvP Tips are so basic it's funny. With guilds like this one in the beta no wonder testing is so lame.

Let's all please be nice here. 
Some things that sound incredibly generic are actually the things that do need to be restated over and over.. take a look at the Q&A section, for example.
And.. as the Guilds of the Week are featured on the main website, it would probably also get the attention of quite a few people new to Guild Wars, and possibly even to gaming. As long as the Guild of the Week articles are all repeating the same things, I think there's no harm to it.
They can all come to Guru for their expert advice, no? *hugs her whole platypus happily*

Anyway, congrats to Isle! They are really fun to play with and are always very groovy. *wiggles for Isle*

Lighten up, decoy. The GOTW thing is designed for new players who need help getting into the game. Many of the things in the GOTW are basic to us because we are well-versed in the way the game works. Next time you feel like bashing something like that, take a breathe and make sure it really requires your input.

How about you put your skill where your mouth is? Until then, quite critcizing every guild that is featured.
EDIT: By the way, SoW did pretty good on the ladder this BWE. Not bad for a team that practices in the arenas.
EDIT 2: Almost forgot the real reason I was here. Congrats Isle! I haven't played much with you guys, but I've heard great things about your guild. Perhaps we can have scrimmage sometime or get together for some PvE.

hmm, my comment wasn't intented as a flame...
perhaps, they the interview should go a little more in-depth or personal. like mebe the sharing of an experience -- a hard mission and how they overcame it or a particularly epic gvg battle. otherwise, the guild of the week feature seems to be heading in a boilerplate, generic direction. less facts, more emotions?

Eh, while the Guild of the Week articles are interesting and occasionally offer something good, they tend
to be on the boring side. They are not quite recruitment messages, not quite advice, and not quite fluff pieces.
So far I've liked the second one the best; they've offered the most useful advance.
In the future I'd really like to hear of interesting/successful/weird skill combos that the guild has found,
a build they've run with either success or failure, or a team or a group of monsters they fought which
destroyed them/made them laugh. Anything more then just a one liner that can be shouted before a
battle or a cliché saying. I’d really just like something to make it personal for the guild. Not just a cookie cutter
template that offers the same thing over and over.
ArenaNet is done excellent work with the website, keeping things organized, looking good, and pointing
people to the right places I'm sure they'll do the same with the articles.
