Wanted to update following my joining request, ive been with the guild for a few days now, great bunch of people friendly and fun. Always willing to help and answer any questions. I'm already looking forward to the next dragon hunt :-)
I`m looking for a new home for my main HR... unfortunately I do not see a lot of my own Guild members/leaders around any more due to various reasons and I very rarely get to run anything but PUG`s these days (which I do not mind as I do love a good random group).
I`m just wondering what you head count is at the moment? Do you have a lot of active Daily players? Also how about time zones, do you have a lot of people from European Regions as well?
Thank you for your time, I actually see your Guild Members quite often when running around doing things
Main - Rydia (HR70) - Xbox One Player only Alts : Storm (SW70), Edge (TR70), AD Farm (CW70), Grunt (GF70), Rosa (DC70), AD AD AD (GWF70), Your Mum (OP70)
I don't know our headcount, but if you'd like to join, please post your your full ingame name (looks like CharacterName@XboxGamerTag) so one of us can invite you. Note that our peak playing time is 10:00PM-2:00AM PST. For EU, that tends to mean playing in the early/late morning.
There are players in the guild from all over the world and probably a dozen of us are EU based. I have seen members online at all times of the day, but during off peak guild hours, you might see only 3-4 of us. Privacy settings may be affecting this low count, but that can't be helped.
@wdj40 Hello, wdj40, we do have some free spots on the roster, so once you made your mind you can safely leave your current guild and ask for invite to Casual Gamers. @spelldazer My quick search on forum suggests that your full gamer tag is Rydia@wdj40.
@thefiresidecat Thank you for the DC build and encounter links. Based on our recent Stronghold HE farming I think we may consider additional 1-hour farming activities to make it more diverse. E.g.: 1) Stronghold Dragon Fight 2) Stronghold Epic HE farm 3) Icewind Pass HE farm 4) WOD HE farm 5) Dwarven Valley HE farm 6) Tiamat Fight (I know it's too hard for us a.t.m.)
We can start adding some of these and see which ones have better drops for the time spent. We may also consider expanding/shifting our daily event time a bit since I see that the most active time is around 10:30 pm and 1:00 am.
WDJ40 you should definitely join us! lol. we don't have crowds of people on all the time yet but we are working up to it. right now it seems like peak hours of like 8 pacific to 2 or 3 am we have 15-20 people on.(not icnluding the people who show as invisible which we do have) fair amount of Europeans cause we are a late night american guild. but I'm on in the afternoon too a lot of the time and then we have like 8 or 9 people on it seems like. our head count is currently 144 unique gt and we weed out 10 or 12 people who aren't actually ever on when we hit 150 to try and narrow it down to actives only. We've been making slow but steady progress on our way to market place 4. I think but don't quote me, that we're about to hit 3.
I`m just waiting to hear back from a friend (from before NW) before I know what I am doing, I will be leaving my Guild for sure as its pretty lonely over there now and I need more activity to keep me playing
If its ok I`ll let you guys know shortly Thank you again for your time and replies.

Hi folks, thank you for you kind offer (I had a couple of offers from various Guild's so I will thank them as well) to join. I have joined a friend from a while back and also noticed a couple of other people on their roster I recognised
Just wanted you to know I would have joined you guys and you have been very friendly and polite, but I am happy with my choice and glad to be in a more active Guild again
Thank you again for your offer, I really appreciated it and if I ever see any of you around just give me a shout if you need a DPS to fill in a gap on a run.

Here are some drops from the epic HE farming we've seen so far: [Orcish Companion's Talisman] Talisman, IL:140, +521 Power, +348 Regeneration, Defense + Overload Slots, Companion Only [Orcish Companion's Collar] Neck, IL:140, +521 Power, +348 Regeneration, Defense + Overload Slots, Companion Only [Orcish Companion's Knot] Off-hand, IL:140, +521 Power, +348 Regeneration, Defense + Overload Slots, Companion Only [Orcish Companion's Icon] Icon, IL:140, +521 Power, +348 Regeneration, Defense + Overload Slots, Companion Only [Band of Loathing] Ring, IL:135, +788 Critical Strike, Offense Slot, 2 ring bonus: +200 Critical Strike, -1,000 Defense, Offense Slot [Discord and Discontent] Arms, IL:135, +1,418 Power or +1,900 Defense, the effect may change every 10 seconds, +9,520 Maximum Hit Points, Utility and Overload Slots [Fadeless Walkers] Feet, IL:135, +1,418 Power when over 50% Hit Points, +1,418 Life Steal when under 50% Hit Points, +9,520 Maximum Hit Points, +482 Defense, Utility Slot
Based on NW wiki, as we upgrade the Guild Hall different types of Companion gear would drop from the epic encounters, such as: GH rank 5: Mercenary Companion's gear GH rank 9: Unknown (my guess its Barbarian Companion's gear) GH rank 13: Undead Companion's gear GH rank 17: Thayan Companion's gear
Just realized that i didn't put in the correct format for the invites to be sent out. Here are the two accounts/users looking to join . One is mine and the other is my wife's.
Gruflen@Mr_Molon_Labe (mine)
Ragnær@Elusive lolo (Wife's) (the a/e in the character name is one of those special characters)

I tried. For you it says not found. Are underscores allowed? They weren't back when I made mine.
For your wife, I don't have a clue how to make æ or Æ on the Xbox. The input can't use alt+0230 for a unicode entry and can't copy/paste. Tried using controller and wireless keyboard.
If someone else can't get it to work either, I'll be bouncing in and out of the game most of Sunday 10 AM to Midnight MST (UTC -7:00) mostly at the Winter Festival. Send an ingame email to @Zephyr1010 and I'll try to meet up for a direct invite.

Done and done!
A couple of tricks which I had to use: 1) Use Xbox member search to verify that gamer tag is valid. (This confirmed that the underscore were unneeded in the first name). 2) Use my own Xbox profile Bio page and the xbox clipboard buffer as a way to transfer that special æ character for the second name.
@zephyriah Thank you for looking into this! @ultimatebladerv1 You are correct, I've updated my post (also added Icon which I got recently).
@randomdigits#2166 There was in game chat about a guild gift giving event. Could be really cool. Can we maybe publish some specific dates and times here (especially for those of us who don't have FB)?

Perhaps we can try do this gift exchange at our regular meet times @11:30PM PST for the next few days just before running the epics or dragon fight. The idea of gift exchange is that you get into a party with 4 other people who have as many gifts as you do and then you all open the same number of gifts and catch the dropping items. Since everyone is going to have different number of gifts I think the easiest way to make gift groups in 10, 5 and then 1 gift available increments. If not enough people with gifts are available the one should consider going to Winter Festival instead.

Can I have a special group? As a certified procrastinator, all 4 of my guild characters ( and most of my non-guild) will have 20 each by tomorrow.
Just kidding, I really don't care about a 1 for 1 exchange. If I did, I would not wait until the end each year.
I have not been very active lately and am not sure how active I will be in the near future. If you need to remove me for the roster, I understand. The guild is great, I just don't want to take a spot if it's needed by someone more active.
@bagoat I think that actually happened to many players across NW - once the holiday & NW event avalanche subsided and new year came in with new resolutions and plans many players got some time off to double on they work/study/home activities. As a result we haven't been killing dragons for several days in a row now, though there have been some fun opportunities for us to play together - in IWD, WOD and dungeons.
@ everyone If you haven't checked prices recently, be sure to do so. The new howling lockbox which started to drop recently produced a liquidation sale on many popular items. GMO Potency ~11.5K, Stability 13K, Union 24K, Power 24K. Genie's Gifts 4.5K, enchants rank 7 1.5K, bonding rank 8 65K, Unified Elements 15K. At times ZAX was trading last night @ 105AD.
I personally just got my mythic Sigil of Devoted and it feels very nice. See you in the game!
