    * A little reminder if you accidentally get removed from the guild: We do clean up the roster to make room for new players, but we only remove people who look inactive. If you’re accidentally removed, please don’t take it personally. Just message us and you’ll be invited back, no questions asked.

    -Ardu

    A suggestion to help avoid this problem. Ask all members to put something in their member comment section and change or update it at least monthly or maybe bi-weekly. Even something as basic as a period or comma would be enough to show the date it was done and show us that they were online during the past 30 days or 2 weeks. This would help with those who show as invalid and appear inactive due to privacy settings.

    I didn't even know that was possible. Can just anyone edit that?
    Feedback around having some sort of newsletter was positive, so I'll make sure to note that next time.
    Thanks, Zeph

    YAY! Congratulations to all the winners!

    I received the blank in-game mail and was super confused! Thanks for clarifying that.

    (I was traveling to Emerald City Comic Con and didn't get to play as much as I wanted to on double XP weekend, but I'm level 68 now...so close!)

    Unrelated: I've encountered a bug that doesn't allow me to finish the Siege Training from the wizard--the gold pile doesn't appear and I'm stuck on a loop with the wizard bringing me back to the stronghold. I've reported it and hopefully it gets resolved soon. I've been doing the daily quests from everyone except the wizard. Stupid wizard.

    Yes, there is a member comment and officer comment box. Only you and I, maybe the community managers (not sure) can see and edit the officer comment. It uses the same box as the location tab. The players can make and change their own anytime. It would be nice if it was used for preferences, things like "I'll run dungeons" "I prefer solo" "Want to skirmish?" or anything similar. But, as long as anything is put in a comment the popup box will show the date it was entered.

    On the bright side, The wizard doesn't give daily quests. Hope they get it sorted soon.

    May I join this guild?
    I came here from Reddit, I see that you're active from 10 to 2am, do you have anyone who plays after that?
    I can only get on reliably at 3am PST durning the work week.
    I'm only about three weeks into this game, but I'm eager to tag along and learn and I always have a mic (even if I don't always speak much)

    We do have people on at different times - I'm in New Zealand, so I tend to be on later that some of the others, and there others about at that time.

    Looking for a more active guild. I'll help out wherever I can and I am on most days :) using my level 50 GWF at the moment (2nd character)

    Happy to invite you – but should warn you that while we have active people at 70, that’s less true of lower levels. Also, while some are active and will run HEs/Epics, other like to solo it. We like to let people play however they want – no mandatory donations or activities (although we obviously appreciate those who do influence, etc al).

    Well thank you (: although I am only level 50 I only started this character last week so hopefully it won't be too long before I'm level 70!

    Just a quick note to say that Temple Lv3 is currently building, which means that our life-steal boon is going to jump to 2400. A big thank-you to everyone that threw in (and a big thank to Luna Sea (Zeph) who donated a pile of level 8s to get us over the line). It represents piles of stuff donated by the whole guild, and knocking it off is quite the achievement.

    Next target is Guild Hall level 7 – it’s a big one, but it’s nothing we can’t handle.

    Thanks again, everyone! And onwards – to GH7!

    New Guild Bank tabs:

    I feel like I’m spamming here, but there’s a lot of stuff going on.
    We’ve expanded the Guild Bank (and by ‘we’ I mostly mean Zeph), and there are now two more tabs. Don’t panic, there’s no new rules – and as always in this guild, there are no special privileges for ‘higher’ ranks. The bank and its items remain open to all members to use on any toons you have in the guild.
    The first is a new tab specifically for dyes and transmutes, leaving the valuables tab clear for equipment, marks and other valuables.
    The second new tab is for donations that will be used for giveaways (if we can’t use it, or if it’s better used in the coffer, we’ll endeavour to return it to you). Having a separate bank-tab means that donated stuff won’t get mixed in with Ardu’s personal horde (which I’ve worried about just in terms of transparency). As a rule it’s better to throw AD and Gem donations into the coffer – but if you have something special that you’d like to have used in a giveaway, you can do that here.. Suitable things include very high level gems, rare items, promotional items, event items, pets, mounts, artefacts or item/weapon enchants.

    As always, thank you to those who help keep the Guild Bank stocked. It’s great to see everyone pooling resources and helping out the newer or lower-levelled players.

    Hi there, I am a fresh (off the boat) lvl 61 Paladin, and a swag of other classes I have been trying out, who is looking for a guild to join. I am based in NZ and am interested if you have a reasonable Oceanic presence and the fact when I do look your name keeps popping up. Best contact would be Malstrom@icon darkwalker

    As most will have seen, we’re currently having another competition based around handing in influence.
    We already have double the number of participants our very first giveaway had (and that’s with the first giveaway having a far flashier prize). Great to see that Casual Gamers is getting more active as a wider community – and thanks to everyone participating.

    I really liked that twice this weekend someone gave an all-guild invite to do rounds of HE in the stronghold. Last night there were about 12-15 people at any given time.

    Question: Is there a 400 Influence limit per day? After I had 400, I stopped getting it as a reward for encounters?
  • telprydaintelprydain Member Posts: 545 Arc User
    That's correct - you're limited to 400, per character, per day.
    And Guild runs in the Stronghold are awesome - both for the influence and for the rare gear that can drop from the 10 and 15 man encounters.
    Ideally we'd have heroic encounter runs on weeknights too, but obviously it's harder to get everyone involved.
    Good to see that the Stronghold dragon was given a fair few solid whippings too.

    I'll be online tonight if we want to do HEs at the SH! Maybe we can have 3+ groups again and kill some dragons.
